  • I’m curious what it really was. They got a lot of shit for having a single mission with Jabba locked behind DLC (there were many, many other missions with Jabba that weren’t locked behind DLC), but I feel that was no different than many other games that add DLC – any game set in this time period would likely have missions with characters that were from the original trilogy, for Ubisoft to ensure that none of those missions were DLC missions doesn’t necessarily seem like it’s reasonable if they want the DLC to be of any value.

    In any case, having beat it and the DLC, I would totally recommend that people who like that kind of gameplay loop grab it if it’s on sale, it was a lot of fun.


  • I really can’t understand all the hate people had for the game.

    Yes, it’s a typical Ubisoft formulatic exploration/stealth game, very much like Assassin’s Creed and Horizon. Yes, it had a digital deluxe edition with a bunch of DLC and an early access window. No, it didn’t really break any new ground, but it was a fun game with a good amount of content to do in a reasonably realized game world (even if they really shrunk some locations like Tatooine down to fit into the game). The story was pretty good, the characters were interesting, and the overall gameplay loop was fun.

    It deseved better than to be panned by a lot of people complaining the game was woke because the lead was a female who wasn’t a 10/10 bombshell in the looks department.


  • You think that after the changes made to the voting systems, the SAVE voting act, the firing of people at CISA responsible for election safety and security, and the migration of the voting devices to Starlink (even with orage mussilini and muskrat falling out) that there’s ever going to be a Democratic president again? I wish I had your optimism. That’s if a state of emergency/war isn’t called that halts all elections, which is far more likely to be what happens.

    Plus, the Democrats will just play good and “not stoop to the opposition’s level”, letting them just get creamed and steamrolled again in the following election, even if they do somehow manage to win. The Democrats had a chance to fight facism and they welcomed it with open arms. Without turning over nearly the entirety of the party, why does anyone think anything is ever going to change?



  • I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, this is the real reason.

    In the wake of 9/11, Congress issued a broad, many would say overly broad, Authorization for the Use of Military Force that basically granted the Office of the President open-ended permission for any conceivable martial escapade he might want in the Middle East. Every President of the 21st century has used this as the legal justification for meting destruction onto that part of the world: for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bombings in Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as our little-publicized offensive in Northeast Africa.

    Due to this, what Trump did is legal. Unfortunately it seems people just want to shoot the messenger now if they say something they disagree with, even if they’re correct.

    I 100% support removing Trump from power through impeachment and absolutely think he’s a threat to democracy, but throwing bullshit articles of impeachment at him over and over just galvanizes his base when he continually shrugs them off.
