What is it with people and fucking high streets?
Neoliberalism killed them along with loads of other things. Unless someone feels like doing something about that then it’s just nostalgic wistfulness. Propping them up in some way doesn’t fix the system and too many arseholes made enough money to undermine our democracies to let things change.
Also fuck Reform.
If a game is too hard I turn down the difficulty without a second thought. It’s a single-player game, I’m not impressing anyone by the difficulty I play at. I might well look an idiot for persisting at a higher difficulty out of misplaced pride though.
As I said, how they arrive at the price isn’t something I care about. They could be making a loss or a killing and it’d be all the same to me.
They can set the asking price to whatever they want but I have zero interest in the “why” in terms of a high price, which for me is anything over about £450. Anything more than that and it simply isn’t appealing to me. I don’t care whether that’s reasonable or not in terms of their costs. My wallet cannot in any form justify anything more on what is primarily a toy. It’s one of the reasons I don’t have a current gen console but have had at least one from each generation going back to the mid 1990s.
If you ask more than I’m willing to spend, no sale. Sorry, guys.
I think with some additional flood defence it’d be fine but I’d expect the price to reflect that.
I’m reminded of a place near me that’s on a flood plain. It’s been on the market for ages. They seem perplexed as to why it’s not been snapped up for their ridiculous asking price.
I didn’t realise Israel was struggling.
Edit: let’s just remove this attempt at being chill and block this board. I’m in no mood to argue further with people that just want to fight me.
Sigh, I was trying to meet you in the middle. I’m in no mood to fight with you.
Edit: It’s a new day and I see people have decided to upvote you so fuck it, arsehole mode is go.
I was agreeing that a film doesn’t have to feel long despite being long, however whether a film feels long or not has no bearing on its runtime.
Film length has no inherent bearing on whether a film is good or not, when well executed, and therefore I want more short films because I have time for them.
BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER FOR QUALITY PURPOSES, as you just said.
I was not arguing about whether it “deserves” to be long. That’s an entirely different question and fuck off for trying to put words in my mouth. Couldn’t just not be a cunt, could you?
True, but it’s a lot easier for me to find 90 minutes than 180 minutes on a weekday night.
A well constructed film does not feel rushed in a shorter run time.
I like long films, like really long ones. Ones where the length is part of the experience. For example, I loved Apocalypse Now Redux.
What I don’t like is films that are substantially longer than they need to be. I don’t want them pared down, I want them built around the format their story suits rather than padded out. I like breathing room (mostly!) but it’s a fine line to walk.
A good film opening gets on with things quickly, getting the viewer up to speed, but too often I find myself quoting Springfieldians from Marge vs. The Monorail - “GET TO THE MONEY!”
Does this mean we can see the end of the overly long film trend?
I miss films being ~80 - 90 minutes. I’ve had a long day, I don’t want to commit to three hours unless it’s something really special.
GitHub was founded in 2008 so nearly half its life it has been owned my MS. Yeah, “recent” doesn’t feel like a good fit here.
I thought they bought GitHub ages ago?
Could we have the same for YouTube videos? I don’t want your stupid summaries.
It’s not tastier.
Do they just have something that picks a random job title for these things?
An interesting way to try to spin disposable spaghetti code as a positive.
I enjoyed it up to the end where it was revealed it’s connected to another game series that I do not care for. That immediately killed my entire emotional investment in the game.
