I view the game as a breaking bad simulator or moral endurance tester and refused to let the conditions of the world turn me into a bad guy. Every time it was like "do you want to eat children or starve" I took it as a challenge. It was difficult to get through but I made it to the end eventually.

The group is Bob vylan, but I guess technically both of their stage names are some variation of bob vylan. I just found that out today and wanted to share.

That's a pile of bullshit

Damn it I accidentally made him sound relatable lol

It sounds like he basically made all of that stuff up. His businesses aren't real and he basically lived in a fantasy world while working in the food industry.

That has been my experience as well. The show has made people in my life more open to theory.

They advanced too far and it was way too costly to keep them supplied, that's my guess.

Getting the steam deck to run Xbox games is a pain in the ass so this doing that out of the box rules

Joe biden's Irish and there are a lot more like him in the US than you might realize.

I think the myth is that China isn't capable of producing high quality stuff. We mostly see low quality stuff because a lot of people in the West place orders for those things from China to stock their shelves, but it's just a fraction of what China produces. Western retailers are really the ones who are being cheap by not placing orders for higher quality goods. That's how I have synthesized the information I've seen about the topic.

That sucks so much I had a lot of fun with this one

That was for the death star 2 I believe

He missed a day or two of streaming, which harmed his income.

Oh I like Dan. I forgot he came back.

Yeah they lost everyone that I cared about a long time ago. I have no idea who is even still there at this point.

I had the same reaction to that scene as you and was pretty bummed out at first. I have since come around to having similar feelings as XiaCobolt does in this thread

"what if final fantasy was good"

There's Andor not knowing who is, but I think there is another meaning and that is the existential question of what the fuck is he doing.

His entire life was dedicated to the order of the imperial state because he believed it cared about peace, security, and justice only for him to find out it only gaf about efficiency and profit and everything else only served to meet those goals. In the end, their order and security was nothing more than destruction and death to the people they were supposed to be providing security to.

Just to add to this, and to be fair to George, I don't know what it was like to make commercial movies during the cold war. Seems like they were very careful, especially since the empire was the US in George's head. They may have had good reason to be as careful with the messaging and symbolism as they were.

This is the best star trek watch order guide I've seen so far. If the age and show quality of TNG isn't a turn off, I think it's fine to go right into season 2 of TNG though (I personally couldn't get past the MacFarlane stuff).
