And that they make absolutely mindboggling stupid decisions with the IPs, in the eyes of the fans of the IPs, that they have control over. Like mothballing LucasArts, so that they can outsource the game development/publishing to other companies, thus cancelling games that were well into their development. Or just straight up just sit on IPs and do nothing with them.

And then because they hate money, mothballed Lucas Arts thus cancelling Star Wars 1313 and the other games that they were working on. And for Battlefront 3, you can find some playable maps on moddb that got leaked online awhile ago, that some modders had ported* to Battlefront 2 and there were some really interesting ideas that they were working on and introduced some new characters into Star Wars before they were introduced in Elite Squadron.
Another Star Wars game that never got to see the light of day was the sequel to Republic Commando, Imperial Commando.
*the maps are very unstable to play on

And if you like the actors from that film Song Kang-ho (the actor for the Weird) my favorite films that has him is Snowpiercer (action-thriller) (2013), a Taxi Driver (historical drama) (2017) and Parasite (thriller) (2019)*** (which is a bit bitter considering what happened to one of the actors) three vastly different films and tones. And for Lee Byung-hun, the actor that plays the Bad, stars in KPop Demon Hunters (2025) (also really good, even if you are not into K-Pop) as the main demon.
Another great film from Korea that is new is Exhuma(2024) horror film that is such a great ride.
*** the director for Snowpiercer and Parasite does have actors that he like working with, to the point that there is a list on his wiki that shows which actor collaborated with him and which films. Song Kang-ho is also in The Host (2006) and Mother (2009) both from what I had heard are pretty good.

Hardcore Henry (2015) low budget action film that is shot entirely in first person, the story is not that great, but still interesting because the way it is shot.
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil(2010) dark comedy that takes the hillbilly trope in horror and turned it on its head. And the Korean version is also good, called Handsome Guys (2024).
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) monster flick that is about giant mutated spiders, also has a young Scarlett Johansson as the sister.
Mars Attacks! (1996) dark comedy about aliens from Mars in the US and extermination of the human race begins because a hippie had released a dove, which to the Martians is an open declaration of war.

I agree with you that I come to understand their feelings of grief and acceptance that comes from of learning with that grief. And I like the mix of different genres of music from throughout the world. And "the Manifesto" and "the Moon Cave" are probably my favorite tracks from the album, for "the Manifesto" it just sounds really awesome and with "the Moon Cave" is the same, it just sounds really incredible.

He went from an important character that might be force sensitive (you have to be to use a light saber without hurting yourself) to being the comedic relief character. He was probably the most interesting character from that trilogy and Disney absolutely fucked him over, to the point where the actor wants nothing to do with Star Wars any more. And what really gets me, is that they just rehash the original trilogy and called it new.
And Disney threw out a lot of interesting stories (like the Yuuzhan Vong War) and interesting characters (like Mira Jade) when they retconned all of the previous expanded universe for the new cannon.

Fair enough. And the reworks for the frames are really good, especially for my main, Oberon. He was my main back in 2016 (before I took a break from the game for 9ish years and he still is), and I very rarely used any of his abilities besides his third ability. And after his rework, I am actually using his other abilities more often. And from what I had heard Vauban's is pretty good too,
to the point people want over 100 plat for his Prime version.now days I have Uriel
I had tried Uriel in the Circuit when the current cycle had populated, and that had convinced me to actually finish gathering the mats for him and actually build him. Because I had so much fun of just flying around the map.

And I agree with you that DE's whole thing of "let us earn your money" is really refreshing in the current climate for gaming in regards to monetization of games (especially for single player games).
And Space Mom is great.

James is the second half of Garbage Time, with Dankpods being the other half. James is the mechanic for Garbage Time, so it is interesting to see that he has vast amount of knowledge for different things. And they do have some ahem interesting videos of what would happen if they replace the oil with something that is not really meant to be used in that way, just to see how long until the engine dies.

I am in the same boat, I like the taste of beer and other liquor, and I really don't see the appeal of getting drunk, especially getting blacked out drunk and throwing up what you paid for.
Which styles of beer do you typically go for? Or do you just pick flavors that sounds good when you do buy?
I tend to find that the sours being my favorite styles because I tend to find more "fun" flavors with them because the breweries tend to use either fruit to bring it back to being palatable for people to drink or a younger beer to to that, like Duchesse de Bourgogne (which has a sour cherry taste to it (and this is one of my favorite ones out there)) does with their sour beer.

Here is my thoughts, besides an embarrassing amount of time looking up as to why my truck would not go above 10 kmph (I completely forgot that shifting was a thing despite playing other driving/racing games before), the game is really fun if you like spending time going from point A to point B and building up a business from the ground up. To which, I do find that gameplay loop fun. I do find playing it to be relaxing and completely different in terms of pacing from my usually game that I play. It is nice to shut down my mind (although I shut it down enough to forget to shift into a higher gear) and just drive from one country to another delivering cargo.

And oh boy I forgot how good it plays, and for a 12 year old game it still looks really good. What Warframe is basically ninjas in space that has magic space powers. And each one feels and plays vastly differently from each other. And the developers just released one of the biggest updates that the game had, in regards to story, QoL and some graphical stuff for the Tenno (what the Warframes and their Operators are called) to bring the Operator looks into modern day Warframe.
And I got in before they buffed my original main back in 2016 and oh boy does he plays soooo much better than he did before his buff.
I know that I will never see that kind of money, but I sleep soundly knowing that all of my gaming achievements and skills are my own and that I have people around me that I can call friends. (Along with the fact that I never chased a invitation to be associated with a human trafficker and that said trafficker kept cancelling on him).
