I watched a little bit of Ahsoka and I now know for a fact that Disney will never do a live action thing with the great sith war.



They dare to deny us our goth sith GFs!!!!

I'm very dumb but that thought did just occur to me.


Me they are worried that a bunch of young people will pull up to Batu with the new Star Wars equivalent of the Akatsuki from Naruto? I don't know how but even after all these years the Akatsuki seems to be popular. I never got very far in Naruto. In the manga I only got to about as far as when Shippuden starts.



I'm telling you if the inquisitors had looked cooler (they look lame both in rebels and in the live action shows, but do look sort of cool in the video games) they may have been more popular and you would be see people like that.


That is all

Those offers are actually cheaper than what the mail says.
Probably some currency conversion fuckups in the mail, but the 9€ offer is actually 7,50€ and I guess the 8€ offer is actually 6€.
(Also don't wait too long, cause the offer should expire before the Choice drops, just make sure to take a look at the date in the mail)

You are right! It was actually 6.50 euro, think I will bite!

Really tempted to refund my YuPlay Starfield just to buy it where they send you the code before the 1st.
I'm fairly sure they will send it in time, but ehhh, not great waiting for a thing you know is available on other stores.

So I mentioned in the Apple thread that I was looking for promotion, and elsewhere I said that my current department had become a hellscape.

Well, I’ve managed to land that promotion! Nice big pay raise, and the work looks easier with less responsibility. Can’t wait!

This is basically an admission that nothing they've done has worked so far, and they can't justify flushing more money down the toilet that is their online store.

This definitely has circling the drain energy about it.

Expect the free games to stop soon. And the coupons. They’re gonna squeeze on all fronts while trying to right the ship, and then it will capsize anyway.

Even if you don’t have anything against Epic, I wouldn’t buy anything on their store because they could kill it at any moment.

Has GG.deals stopped tracking CDKeys ?
I couldn't see Starfield Premium or Armored Core a couple minutes ago.

Yeah, I asked for a YuPlay refund. I still believe them when they say I will have my Starfield key for the 1st, but I'm not a charity. If they can't send their key at the same time as other key sellers it's on them.
It's one thing to be later than official key sellers, but being behind CDKeys ? Yo, that's a new low.

An Update on the State of BioWare

Hello again, Today, rather than discuss one of our upcoming projects, I’d like to share an update about the studio itself and outline our vision for BioWare’s future. In order to meet the needs of …

What the actual fuck. Mary Kirby was one of the few remaining writers they had that were there from the beginning, and created some of their most beloved characters.

I was the biggest BioWare fanboy for the majority of my life... but I have no faith in them as a company now.

It's funny looking at the whole console war thing and people complaining about no 120fps on consoles for AC6.


First and foremost this is the first time that Fromsoft have done a game beyond 60fps and we still don't know if it breaks stuff somehow. They also likely capped it for a number of reasons. I'm guessing that on consoles it can go over 60fps but maybe it's not always at 120fps (maybe it's closer to 90fps or something and I'd image that most TVs that people are using don't even support that)

They also laid off Lukas Kristjanson, a writer who has been with BioWare since the original Baldur's Gate. He has a bronze statue commemorating his 25 years with the company.

They're just stupid. There's only a handful of 120 fps games on console at all, mainly on Xbox.

They're over-expecting what a $500 box can do

The only thing this game needs is aliens to go up against tbh. The pve gets boring real fast.

They first send the pre-order premium key, then few hours later appear the bonus content key.
Game and bonus are two different keys and don’t appeared at the same time. Just check time to time on reveal your key.

Don’t worry you will get both keys.

It lists the romantic preference for all of the companions - most are none, but there are 2 straight options for male and female, and one female character who is bi/pan. There is no male bi/pan/gay option though. What the hell, Owlcat?

Fanatical sent them right early as well, after my CDKeys order was rejected. It was even cheaper due to more up to date exchange rates.

If not I would've gone with GreenMan Gaming.

You an me both. Mass Effect 1 is close to being my favourite game of all time. I just couldn't believe the things they were doing to ME and DA and people called me many things for even suggesting they were down a terrible path with some of these decisions even back then. This level of mismanagement has been decades in the making. We can blame EA and Bioware and heads of studios, etc... but it's a bit moot now. They are deep in a hole, with one single chance to make it out, and I just don't see it.
