I've just redownloaded the game after 2-3 years after attempting to start a playthrough with a friend of mine (she left the project, and myself as well😅) and I've Wanted to try the game again, but not alone... want to make new acquaintances, have fun, and the game's boring I think without someone to play and talk with.

I started watching Star Wars chronologically from scratch after May 4th, canon shows, games, and movies, and I've just gotten to the Clone Wars Movie. And I've completed the second mission from the Republic Commando game, which I've stopped up and not doing the 3rd mission because I've heard it happens sometime near Order 66, which I haven't gotten too yet..

So if not Battlefront II, which games can/should I buy to continue playing meanwhile i watch the Clone Wars? Games that's on Xbox or Ps4, NOT Steam😅

A maybe-creative sitcom idea I had for a show

Okay, so;

• It's a 4th wall breaking show that uses Real actors instead of animation art styles (not Family guy but more The Office type), where a group of actors plays characters who are aware they are playing a character in a sitcom of some kind, but they don't know what type it is or who each other is..basically strangers together..
• Every episode will change something- Anything- completely at random, things that none but One of the actors/characters notices to be the change (example that episode they're in a Movie or Book franchise, their gender swaps, everyone has a tail, Anything completely random happens). Things that's important for that episode, and future episodes, and finally the finally.
• The goal would be to figure out What sitcom this is, meanwhile trying to find out a way to break the actual 4th Wall itself (physical wall that they can see but not touch or break) and restore their normal lives...

Just to illustrate how it could look like, here's just an example of some of the script for one episode...

INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY Ryan walks in, holding a soda and a stack of papers that flicker—text appearing and vanishing. Josh sits on the couch. A long reptilian tail hangs off the cushion, slowly swaying.

JOSH (reading) So… we’ve got scripts again. That’s new. What are we today?

RYAN (glancing down) I don’t think it’s decided yet. It keeps… changing.

The words on the page rewrite themselves mid-sentence. Ryan blinks. His eyes briefly shift—green, slit pupils. Josh takes a sip of soda. He BURPS— A small burst of fire escapes his mouth. Neither reacts. A beat. Timmy enters. Stops dead.

TIMMY …No. No, no, no—are you serious right now? Ryan and Josh turn. Their tails drag slightly across the floor.

JOSH What?

TIMMY (pointing) That! All of that! You—your eyes—he just breathed fire!

Ryan frowns, genuinely confused.

RYAN …Timmy, are you okay?

TIMMY Am I okay?!

JOSH (quietly, to Ryan) This happened last week.

TIMMY What happened last—there was no last week like this! Josh stands. Tail curling behind him.

JOSH You said that last time, too.

I just replayed the screen from Abby's perspective on Joel & Ellie's Fireflies Hospital scene, and honestly, the idea of a cure is noble but not the execution of it. Not only was he okay with killing a unconscious child who didn't even get a say in the matter, but he wouldn't see things from Joel's perspective, as if Abby was the one with the cure (which honestly would've been a twist itself). And instead of backing away from a destructive force of nature - Joel - he pulled a knife on him, sealing his fate, instead of doing something rational... Not saying that Joel wanted to kill him, but it was a dumb thing by Jerry not to step out of his way. Thought I had written the reasons it was a mistake itself, guess not... Joel is a strong man who has been through a hell of a journey with her. He's quick, agile despite of his age, and should easily have been able to disarm Jerry, punch or Knock him out instead of fully killing him. Or shot him in the leg, or arms, anything but doing the one thing people can't come back from. As for Jerry himself, people are resources! He has and would still be a doctor of some kind for Fireflies, or Strangers he encounters if needed. He- And the nurses- has expertise to cure wounds or help sick people when and if needed. They have hands and arms that can be used for supply runs. Personall thoughts and inputs for discussions where wrong is wrong and right is right.

As for the actual cure itself, even if Ellie really could have been the cure for the entire world, HUGE IF, I honestly don't think it would have mattered at that point. By the time the story takes place, society is already gone. People have spent 20+ years living in a world where survival is the only thing that matters. Governments are gone, laws barely exist outside quarantine zones, and most people have grown used to living without the old rules of society. No taxes, no normal jobs, no worrying about social expectations - just staying alive another day. Even if the Fireflies somehow managed to make a cure, the next problem would be distributing it. How would they realistically reach every surviving human across the world? Infrastructure is destroyed, supplies are scarce, and transportation is extremely limited. Cities are overgrown ruins, and most organized groups are barely holding themselves together. And that's not even counting the infected. A cure wouldn't magically fix the millions of infected already roaming around. But the biggest issue is probably humanity itself. After two decades in that kind of world, people have done things they can't take back just to survive. Communities are built on violence, distrust, and scarcity. Even with a cure, the damage to society might already be permanent. At that point, curing the infection doesn't necessarily mean saving humanity.
