@ChristiJunior i'm one of those weirdos that likes the prequels way more than the sequels and i don't think it's just because "i grew up with them" because my dad was a huge star wars fan and i had always watched the originals too.

the prequels have insane set pieces, glorious music, and they set up anakin's transformation extremely well in a way that is actually pretty relatable. in a way it's a cautionary tale not just for people in a position like anakin's, but also for the people who put him in that position, which doesn't get talked about enough.

then the sequels came along and they suck cock.

Watched Star Wars Episode II today, and it still holds up. As long as you can deal with some wooden acting and cringy dialogue, it's a damn fun movie, and while some of the scenes and locations look a lot more "artificial" and blatantly CGI than I remembered them, many of the action scenes and big set pieces are still spectacular, and there's a lot of genuine eye-candy to behold. Moreover, stuff like Anakin's authoritarian bent and his desperate desire to prevent his loved ones from dying (even dreaming of overcoming death itself) does a better job than I remembered of setting up his eventual fall in Revenge of the Sith.

...not to mention that Anakin's social awkwardness and somewhat off-putting demeanor makes a lot more sense when you remember that the boy spent the first half of his life as a slave owned by a Space Jew, and the second half of his life being bossed around by a bunch of celibate warrior monks who both revere and fear him, and who split the difference by not nearly giving him the credit he deserves.

@LukeAlmighty I think it just helps cover the micro stutters lol. Without it the game looks like it is running at like 45.

Never before in my life have I seen motion blur make a 60 fps game appear smoother but Alone In The Dark is just another breed of game altogether. Wtf I've had it off this entire time and NOW I find that it makes the game look nice? :meru_amgry_succ_noises:

i wanna be able to play stellar blade but i'm fucking poor ;_;

@IAMAL_PHARIUS any time i hear about solana i just think about how a couple years ago a bunch of botted solana accounts were going around fedi

@EdBoatConnoisseur @judgedread yeah i guess it was some random woman but the russians deny it and say it is definitely hitler. a us archaeologist with a dental background did a test on it in 2009.

he got this book full of unexplained mysteries or something and that was in there.
