BOMBASTIC, ABSOLUTELY LOVABLE RECLUSE; PASSIONATE LOVER, VICIOUS FIGHTER; PARTAKES OF ROLES, PLAY, GAMES, AND ALL COMBOS THEREIN.

P: HE, HIM, HIS.

YOUR FRIEND IS FULL OF PISS AND WIND AND IT ONLY COST YOU 8 BUCKS TO FIND THIS OUT

RUN

I'm talking in-house too. Get all your assets together, put a mid-sized engine-focused team on it, keep hard to the stated goals, and you'd legit make that back easy, piping it directly through your media/production machines.

Hells yes.

You know what would probably make fat dosh? Fix up Morrowind. Like, go back, get the game files and engine all together, and fix it up. Hard slog, fuck yes. But it could be done. Fix it all the fuck up, do a big bugfix sweep, but change little else; keep all mods compatible as best one can.

Then re-release for like $15-20 with a big marketing campaign, play nostalgia -gently-, and go hard on the merchandising/after market sales. Release on new consoles.

Cash money + great faith rebuilder.

She doesn't grow Finn's story, she barely grows her own story - we just find out about her, and she doesn't change all that much at all, unlike pretty much every other character in the movie, (Except also Phasma The Toy Seller.) She's just... Not necessary. The entirety of Canto Bight should have been half the length of Maz' bar, and it 100% should have been Poe with Finn, both fucking up and being flawed, then Poe saves Finn because he learns, and so does Finn.

So... Finn, Poe and Rose's plan was utterly useless. It achieved... Nothing. Rose even stopped Finn from making an impact by sacrificing himself. It literally took a fucking Skywalker to reign it all in, by being a smartass (great resolution imo, genuinely).

My issue is Rose. Nice character, but... Her entire arc should have just been Poe. Including the kiss. That would have blown peoples' minds.

Need to watch it again, but, yeah. Useless character, sadly.

Why the fuck do the Rebels say 'godspeed'. It bothers me. There's no primary god based religions in Star Wars, not on a scale like Earth where saying it carries meaning beyond the core religion due to its history with our species.

They have that already. It's called the Force. It's why they say the thing.

Just really stood out to me as weird.

The Last Jedi was so good. I literally can't say any more, it's so twisty and spoilable, but know that they stuck the landing, and did each character maximum justice. Favourite Star Wars yet.
Remember Aussies, as we move into Summer, it's not just the heat that kills; anything above a UV10 rating is basically sunscreen or no-go if you like your skin as it is! Stay safe!

Resolution: they put me down as 'employed' rather than 'self employed', because they didn't bother to check when I said as much the first 8 times (exact), because they don't believe anyone outright when they say it. Had to be verbally asked a condescending g checklist that unanimously stated I was self employed, to which they outright balked.

Sorted now however, but I have to report my quarterly net instead of fortnightly gross. While still reporting fortnightly hours. Thx.

Waiting to be seen by people who control your money, and are willing to take it away at the drop of a hat, awaiting their judgement on issues and errors that are on THEIR end...

It's like waiting for the executioner because they're doing paperwork. You pray you slip through, and you do every time, but, holy shit, I can feel the stress of being here almost literally weighing on my heart.
