You wouldn’t know a consummate V if it bit you in the face

Today shall be remembered as the day the rogue penises finally won.

hahaha that was hilarious. “Okay guys, you heard him. We’re gonna let Obi Wan slowly get away.”

lol that’s a fair point.

Rogue One was the first time I feel like we got to see Vader as properly terrifying. That was my favorite appearance of his until Jedi: Fall Order came out, and omfg he is even scarier in that one. I love scary Vader.

Kenobi was hit and miss. There were moments like when he had Kenobi backed into a corner, then Kenobi lit a fire between them and escaped, like Vader couldn’t deal with that? I feel like he would have like parted the flames or tried to pull Kenobi into them or something. He just let him go, but then we see him indiscriminantly killing people in the streets and it’s like, “okay, there he is.”

I’d argue that the prequels were excellent, Shakespearian-level stories that pioneered the VFX of their time, but suffered from sometimes ridiculous dialogue and a director that wasn’t good at working with actors (especially inexperienced actors).

If George had a writing/directing partner to help smooth stuff out and still had his ex-wife in the editing room, the prequels would probably have been damn near masterpieces.

IIRC, he did intend to make 3 trilogies, but after making the prequels, he wanted to actually spend time with his kids and knew that making a sequel trilogy would consume another decade of his life.

He did “consult” on episode VII, but apparently he only had like one or two meetings and they used basically none of his ideas and didn’t take any more input from him.

There’s a bunch of info out there about what his trilogy would have been, and it’s a shame because it actually sounds so much cooler than what we got. If George had helmed the next trilogy but had maybe a co-writer/co-director to reign him in a bit like he had on the OG trilogy, we might have had something truly wild.

EDIT: This video has some really interesting details about what could have been.

If you’re cool with emulation, the PS2 had a game called Gregory Horror Show.

I wonder why they picked Sonic Boom over Sonic Prime? I feel like Sonic Prime is a huge step up over Boom.

I legit can’t tell of this is a joke. Cause on one hand, that seems insane. But on the other hand… Kojima.

It’s too bad they don’t offer a complete list of known patched VPNs. They just give like 5 example ones. It’d be really helpful to know if my service has patched already or not.

Beto O’Rourke was a hacker??

Honestly, I migrated from Mastodon just when Calckey (now Firefish) seemed to be gaining more traction. I looked at available instances, and this was one of the first to pop up that checked most of my boxes, being that it is a generalistic instance (skewed a bit toward video game/nerd culture), was up-to-date and properly utilized HTTPS, and had limits I was cool with (character limits, drive storage, etc.). I later found out that it’s run by a tech YouTuber I admire, so that was a nice bonus.

My only complaint is that there aren’t many custom emojis. lol

Ew. I’m on easymode.im and it’s a lovely Firefish instance, I don’t see any shit like that.

I don’t think so, only because most of the 360 games available for back compat on the Series X are already ported to PC, a lot of them can be accessed on PC by way of GamePass, and the rest can be emulated on PC. You cannot currently emulate PS4 or PS5 games and only a handful have been ported to PC so far, so original hardware is the only option for playing PlayStation exclusives. Whether to get a PS4 vs PS5 is debatable imo.

If you’re planning to do everything the legal way (i.e. no emulation of games you don’t own), don’t want to buy discs to rip, and prefer the available Xbox & Xbox 360 games to the PlayStation exclusives, you could get a Series X–but honestly, if you are cool with buying discs and don’t care about PlayStation exclusives, getting a 360 would be a significantly cheaper solution than a Series X, especially since there aren’t really any console-exclusive Xbox games in the last couple of hardware gens and the 360 had better back compat for OG Xbox games than the current gen Xboxes do. So if you were gonna swap the PS for an Xbox, I’d personally go 360 over Series X.

Idk if it’s “bad,” exactly, but I don’t like it. I liked the meta for the first game way more, I miss the old 6v6 team structure, I don’t like the changes made to my favorite characters, and the monetization is really sucky. It felt to me like they took everything that was wrong with the first game, kept it as is, and then took a bunch of the good stuff and made it worse. lol

But that’s just my opinion, I know there are def people that like it. I only wish they’d release “Overwatch Classic” or something so that people who prefer OW1 can still play it–ideally with the lootboxes removed and a way to unlock character skins and stuff by playing those characters and progressing, but I’d honestly take just like a snapshot of the last stable release before the OW2 update. It was one of my favorite games and I just really don’t like the OW2 updates. 😥

I adore Calckey/Firefish. It’s amazing software, but these are both pretty bad names. lol

I guess Firefish is better, because it sounds like software you’d want to use and not something you have to put up with to file a tax return, but also… why?

Here is what I believe to be the definitive answer for maxing out your library on 4 inputs:

1. Gaming PC/Steam Deck - you’ll have access to a sprawling library of games from all generations and can even emulate console exclusive games from previous generations. The reason I’m not recommending an Xbox console on this list is because basically every current gen Xbox One (+ X|S) game is already on PC (as are many OG Xbox and most Xbox 360-era games), GamePass is an option if you wanna play some OG Xbox/360 games legally, and emulation can get you any games that aren’t available otherwise. Sony is also making many recent PS5 exclusives available on PC now with more to come.

2. Nintendo Switch - it’s got a kick-ass library of exclusives, almost every Wii U game has been ported over (minus like ~8, I think?), they’ve been remaking/remastering a lot of older games and are reportedly going to go hard on that for the remainder of the Switch’s lifespan, and with NSO it has a respectable library of retro Nintendo and Sega Genesis games if you wanna go the legal route.

3. PS4/PS5 - A PS5 would be ideal for maxing out your possible library size, because it can play any PS4 or PS5 game; however, there also aren’t a ton of PS5 exclusives at this point in time, PS5 games are being ported over to PC faster than PS4 exclusives, many recent PS5 games are also on PS4, PS4s are cheaper, and the PS4 can be jailbroken. There’s a case to be made for getting a PS4 instead.

4. Modded PS3 - Especially if you can track down a phat model with hardware back compact support, you can load up a HDD with games and play the entire PS1, PS2, and PS3 libraries.

With these four, you should be able to play essentially any game ever made. You will have…

Official hardware support for:

• PlayStation
• PlayStation 2
• PlayStation 3
• PlayStation 4 and/or 5
• Nintendo Switch
• PC (Astonishingly huge library)

You will have the (paid) option of legal software support for many of the best games from:

• NES
• SNES
• Sega Genesis
• Game Boy
• Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance
• Nintendo 64
• Xbox
• Xbox 360

You will have the capability to emulate anything from Atari 2600 through to some Nintendo Switch, including Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, arcade classics, and many, many more.

IMO, this is the best way to max out the 4 ports on your TV. You can also get a PS Vita and mod it for PS Vita + PSP games, and a 3DS modded for 3DS and NDS games. They don’t need to be plugged into your TV, so they weren’t included on my list of 4, but they are both excellent handheld consoles with great libraries.
