My dude, the patch just came out. It’s likely just a surge of traffic.

Joined! Let’s manage democracy together, brother!

Charlie Chaplin got done dirty. He was rocking that stache for decades earlier.

My dude, I agree with you. I’m just explaining how we get bullshit like this movie. Not actually supporting it or approving in any way. I can tell you right now that I have no intention of seeing this movie.

Also, everything is awesome.

I’m not disputing anything you’re saying, just trying to explain the logic of a movie production studio. If they’re trying to make a Minecraft movie, they’re going to gear it to maximize the revenue from their audience.

If they made it a kids movie, it’s because they thought that would make them the most money. Whatever kind of movie they made, it’s for monetary reasons.

That may be so, but that’s irrelevant to them. Their IP is Minecraft, not Roblox. They only need to appeal to the largest demographic of people who enjoy Minecraft (aka kids, not adults). The other interests of their target audience are hardly relevant. All that matters is that they’re interested in the topic though to see a movie.

Or more accurately, bug their parents to pay to see the movie. Because those are additional tickets, too.

Please report comments like this when you find them. The negativity spreads really quickly, and it’s quite tiring.

“I felt like it.” Is all the reason the cat needs.

Sports games have been doing it faaaar longer. Madden started in 1988, released a sequel in 1990, then hasn’t missed a year ever since. The baseball and basketball counterparts existed just as long.

But WoW didn’t really do anything new, just bigger, better, with a lot more funding. Everquest and Ultima Online did everything first, they just didn’t have that Blizzard money.

Hate to break it to you, but this had been around for decades before those games came around.

… Yes. If you haven’t played it, I highly recommend it. It’s a fantastic classic RPG.

Well that’s awesome! Thanks!

So is this an actual Dragon Age game? An RPG like the original games?

Or is this an overwatch clone dancing on the corpse of the IP?

I had an absolute blast with the farsight gun. But honestly, if they bring it back, I hope they nerf the fuck out of it. Because kids online will be fucking insufferable with it.

Back then, you were playing with your friends in the same room. If one of your friends was being a douche and griefing with it, you could just slap them.

The tough part to recreate is that the multiplayer was so fun because it was innovative. It was one of the first games to do stuff like that.

24 years later, we’ve had a lot of games do a lot of stuff as well.

… But I’d still happily enjoy bringing all of it back, even if it was just a cosmetic facelift.

I can agree that there will always be subtle variations in textures of different substances, but I can guarantee you that we can affect the texture of a mixed product by altering the ingredients.

I’ve been managing restaurants for decades, with a few Italian places under my belt with Michelin star chefs. One restaurant group featured a rotating list that always had at least a dozen different meatballs.

I’ve seen them tweak all kinds of recipes, with all kinds of meats and grains. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, goat, venison, even fuckin gator (which was Delicious!). I’ve also sold eggplant, chickpea, spinach, Beyond, Impossible, all kinds of shit in ball form.

I’ve seen these chefs tweak a recipe that uses the same volume of meat, crumbs, and other ingredients, to yield significantly different textures and flavors, just by playing with how they prep those ingredients. How finely they dice/chop/prep the same amount of an ingredient affects the texture.

How they prep the crumbs matters. What bread do they use, what’s it made of, how it was cooked before it crumbled, how finely it was crumbled, what seasonings were used that will bind with the fats and proteins from the meat.

All of this matters and all of it affects the flavor and texture. This isn’t just cooking, it’s materials science. Give it a little more credit.

That’s just a current problem. There’s no reason to assume it won’t also be resolved eventually.

Also, mixing plant matter into meat products is nothing new. For example, most meatballs have breadcrumbs in them.

Oh wow, that looks absolutely delicious!

I’m okay with that.
