I am really excited for X-Men. I think that the introduction of these characters can open up a whole new world of stories for the MCU. But I do hope that they don't showcase mutations as all good.

I think one of the most interesting pars of the X-Men comics is how diverse the mutations are. Sure, you have Awesome mutations like Telekinesis and controlling the weather but alot of mutants have awful powers that would make there lives infintely harder. For every cool power like wolverines you have 100 other mutants that just have extra limbs or eyes, no bones, one just has slugs for guts, another one is a literal bird with hallow bones and all. Just doesn't seem like a fun existence and i think that is ripe for storytelling.

I hope that the MCU leans into this a little bit, I think it would be interesting to see the dynamic of mutants with cool powers and others with awful ones. Do you think the MCU will showcase some of these mutants?

I've made a post like this before, but It seems to be getting worse. I cannot believe how people treat the movie theatres these days! I just came back from the first showing of "Coyote Vs. Acme". I thought if I would go to the Midday preview show it would be full of fans that wanted to see the film, and it was until this rude person comes in 15 minutes after the previews have ended and the movie has started, uses her flashlight to find her seat then sits down and starts playing Monopoly on her phone! I asked her to stop and she refused so I had to get the staff to ask her to stop, which she did.. until they left and she started again. This happened multiple times, until the end of the film. Completely ruined this film that I've been waiting forever to see.

IF YOU CAN'T GO WITHOUT BEING ON YOUR PHONE STAY OUT OF THE THEATRE.

i just watched Toy Story 5 and am honestly stunned.

i’m sitting there, and the lady in front of me, definitely a boomer decides that the middle of the movie is the right time to make a doctors appointment on SPEAKERPHONE. full volume. i was just staring at the back of her head, like are u serious? Then she had the audacity to get pissed when people to her to go outside.

then it got worse. 20 minutes later, she stands up, walks around the front of the theater, and starts hunting for a power outlet to charge her phone. she was literally crouching by the wall, blocking the screen while the movie is playing, just so her battery stays full.

this experience completely ruined the night. There used to be a basic level of public decency at the cinema, but instead, i am always forced to deal with someone treating a public space like their private home. it is impossible to enjoy a film under these conditions, and i am officially done wasting my money on cinema tickets if this is the new normal. absolute nightmare.

Title basically says it all. I am so fucking sick of trying to watch movies legally or streaming on a PC.

I spent hard earned money upgrading my setup, got a great 4k monitor, fast internet, the whole deal. But if I try to watch Netflix, Prime, Disney+ or literally ANY movie I legally purchased through youtube or digital storefronts? 4k? Nope. HD? Barely. Half the time these shitty services lock PC browsers to 720p or fucking 480p because of "DRM" and "copyright protection."

Like, I am literally trying to pay you money to watch a movie I bought in the highest quality possible, and you treat me like a criminal and throttle my stream. Meanwhile, actual pirates are getting pristine uncompresed 4K files with zero hassle. It completely backwards.

If I want to actually watch something in the quality I paid for, I'm forced to go sit on the couch and use a Roku or a smart TV app. I shouldn't be restricted on how I use my own damn hardware. It’s completely anti-consumer and it makes zero sense.

Honestly i've been thinking about this a lot lately, is it just me or are we barely scratching the surface of what a roguelite game structure can actually do?

Every time a new one comes out it feels like a variation of the same couple tropes. im trying to give developers other ideas than "Balatro or slay the spire meet X" because even though those games are are amazing and I've put in way too many hours in them, there are so many other genres that feel a bit stagnant right now.

Basically my question is: which genre do you think would benefit the most from a roguelite structure? games like Mewgenics have shown us that the structure can be used in very interesting and new ways beyond just the standard combat loop. it makes me think a lot of other genres could be totally revitalized by procedural maps and permadeath.

Like imagine a proper stealth game where you cant just memorize guard paths because the building layout and security changes every time u go in. or even survival horror where the scares arent scripted so you actually feel that dread of not knowing whats behind the next door. i feel like that high-stakes randomized loop could totally revitalize genres that usually get predictable after one playthrough.

What genre do you guys think is just dying for a "run-based" version to shake things up? are there any games you think would be way more fun if they had procedural maps and meta-progression?

Curious to hear what you guys would actually wanna spend 100 hours grinding?
