vga fans are very salty over the guy not liking tlou part 2. an objectively bad game

I know I'm a few years too late to this, but just what exactly was Nomura thinking with the Time Jannies? It may be quite literally the stupidest plot choice I've ever seen in an otherwise competent game.

For those not really in the know, Time Jannies were the masterful decision to just have ghosts fill the screen and manipulate characters and events, that way they don't deviate from the original timeline

It's just fricking unbelievable how they take away all agency from the characters and tension from the major turning points in the story. What's even more bewildering is when I sought out user reactions, the frickwits on reddit and other forums praised their inclusion and looked forward to seeing their role in the story. During pivotal moments ghosts just flood in and rearrange the characters to fit the scene like they're dolls. CLEAN IT UP TIME JANNIES!

I have mixed feelings about Nomura. He has a certain anime style that people like and can be quite tasteful when done, tasteful in the sense that 14 year old boys will find it cool. He reminds me of Tim Burton in that he has got a bit too far up his own butthole as he's aged and needs some producer to tardwrangle him back in a bit.

The game is otherwise really good. It's pure nostalgia bait, the over-the-top extra stuff added in is Nomura but the beats from the original are all there. There's so much effort and talent that's gone into balancing realism, anime theatrics and the feel of the OG game. The combat system is fun and a nice twist on ABT.

I was kinda rooting for the sheep tbh

Who were you rooting for?

!animalposters I guess technically

Doctors just don’t understand this natural medicine!

Yes I need higher doses and to potentiate but it’s not like I have a history of being addicted to opioids.

Just to be safe I’ll take a little tolerance break with another addictive drug.

Oh man maybe I’m coming down with a cold.

Frick this, I need this plant to function

RIP Marvin Heemeyer

“Marvin John Heemeyer (October 28, 1951 – June 4, 2004) was an American automobile muffler repair shop owner who demolished numerous buildings with a modified bulldozer in Granby, Colorado, on June 4, 2004.

Heemeyer had feuded with Granby town officials, particularly over fines for violating city health ordinances after he purchased property with no sewage system. Over about eighteen months, Heemeyer had secretly armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete.[1] On June 4, 2004, Heemeyer used the bulldozer to demolish the Granby town hall, the house of a former mayor, and several other buildings.[1] He killed himself after the bulldozer got stuck in the basement of a hardware store he was destroying.”

The Killdozer, a beautiful piece of American engineering

For decades this area has been kept relatively cool by sulfur emissions from ships.

But this changed in 2020. pic.twitter.com/DFD39uyVJ3

On January 1st 2020 new shipping regulation came into effect (#IMO2020), decreasing the maximum amount of sulfur in shipping fuels from 3.5% to 0.5%. From 2020 we see a rapid increase in the amount of solar radiation that's being absorbed by the region highlighted above.
