Everyone was showing each other their Instagram "for you" pages and it's all these cursed memes and weight lifting videos. I open up mine and it was almost exclusively Diana from Pragmata :cryana: my friend goes "some things never change" :meru_lul:

found out that my normie friends actually enjoyed wolverine and that the scent vision shit was actually really helpful because they didn't know where to go sometimes. one of them said he liked the cube in god of war laufey.

there's just really no saving these people man you can only smile and say that you're glad they enjoy it.

Just got back from the Resident Evil movie. You know, I'm actually (mostly) impressed. It was a good movie. I'm not exactly thrilled that it was yet another example of "This is MY take on your beloved video game" instead of just another story within the continuity of the series, but at least the film was ( mostly) good.

The protagonist was a bit of a whiny beta retard but that was (mostly) in service of humor which was done pretty well I think.

Everything was awesome pretty much right up until the ending. As soon as the dude gets into the hospital the movie falls apart completely and everything that happens is 100% a plot contrivance that only exists as a way to get to the ending that the director wanted, an ending which fucking sucks.

So, as decent as the rest of the movie is, it ends on a really sour note that just pissed me off. Much in the same way that Cyberpunk's ending made me feel. Really cheap and "oh so subversive" because the director thinks he's doing something different and edgy or some shit.

Also, again, I would have vastly preferred that a RESIDENT EVIL movie takes place in the RESIDENT EVIL universe and timeline instead of "Zach Cregger's Resident Evil" but that's a different topic entirely that is somewhat separate from the film itself.

5/10 because everyone in this movie is a stupid idiot funny retard.

If Twitter existed in 2007:

oof... i knew this game had some problems but i didn't think it was THIS bad damn

XF Extreme Formula Review (7/10 kind of) 

I really want to recommend this game, sing its praises from the rooftops, but I just can't. The racing gameplay is extremely good, with an amazing sense of speed and a high skill ceiling, full of all of those F-Zero stylings that make your heart drop and your body tense up. Even the unexpected combat zones are pretty fun! The music is awesome, the game runs super well (I've got it going at 240 FPS!), the art design is great, and I like the diversity of the characters and vehicles.

Unfortunately, it its current state, there is just a really big problem with polish. The core gameplay is rock solid, but it exists within a bear trap that will bite you on the way in and won't let go. Many players, including myself, have experienced the game going completely black in the options menu and needing to either quit the game or move it to another monitor to bring it back. I had a softlock in a combat zone and there is no option to restart from a checkpoint or anything, so I had to completely quit the game and then launch it again. For whatever reason, there is a boss battle that, upon beating it, completely soft locks the game so I just can't progress through the story whatsoever (and I need to relaunch to even try again and hope that it works... it doesn't). When the player can't even beat your game, you need to fix some things.

On top of some really jarring, obvious bugs, there are some smaller ones that could be overlooked here and there. Collision can be a little spotty, I was going so fast I flew threw a wall once and got DQ'd but I guess you should be hitting into walls anyway. There is also just a lot more downtime in between actual gameplay moments (and even story moments) than I would like. If I want to do some races, I shouldn't have to walk around a small level with nothing else in it for me to get to them. Either let me select the race from the menu, or put something meaningful in that area I have to walk around in. It's weird because there are people to talk to at the beginning of the story mode, and they will set up different races with you that have interesting tidbits to them, but that only happens twice in the entire game and I would have loved to see more stuff like that.

Again, there are some really great things on display here. The tracks are, for the most part, really awesome and fun to race on. I like all the characters a lot, with a soft spot for Wolfman and Digi. The story itself feels a little undercooked and there were a couple moments that left me aghast with how unhinged they were, but it is still intriguing at the very least. I can tell there was a lot of effort put into the lore of XF's universe but unfortunately it doesn't really seem like much of that comes out in the story, which is unfortunate.

But yeah... if I can't even beat the story because the game is literally preventing me from doing so, I can't recommend the game. Not until it gets fixed up. Who knows if that will ever happen, either, because the developer has said he's no longer interested in working on it and already has a new project he's dedicated to. It almost feels like he used the Early Access stage for making sure all of the content was in the game, but not for making sure all of that content was scrubbed of some of these major, glaring issues. I really, really hope he comes back to fix this and I'll definitely update my review if he does.
