    Got excited for a sec, but no, that was the crap one in space, not the excellent Dan Trachtenberg/Mary Elizabeth Winstead one. Dammit.

    too many people already for us to sustainably support

    Be careful where you say that kind of thing; over the past few years, as population growth in developed nations more and more clearly seems to be plateauing, it's become common to deem it deeply racist and/or xenophobic to suggest that overpopulation will kill us all.

    Which is fucking insane, because it doesn't matter where the people will come from; we're all stuck on this same burning rock together.

    Even having beaten 34+ heat and sub-13 minute runs on every weapon, I can barely contemplate how to approach 64 heat. This is a nutso hard achievement (plus a ton of luck, he racked up a PILE of Zeus in Tartarus). Very validating to see that it was Blitz Disc though, I swear by Blitz Disc but the general consensus seemed to have been that it was kind of trash.

    As mentioned in other comments, James Gunn's direction is one of only two things that's made any of the past several years of superhero schlock interesting.

    The other, so far unmentioned in response to you--and directly better and more novel than Gunn's cape oeuvre as a whole, though Gunn certainly has his moments--is the Spider-Verse films, and they require no knowledge whatsoever of any of the MCU or DC films to enjoy. Seriously, they're so damn good.

    White's rushes are EXHAUSTING. Do not recommend, they just go on for fucking ever. Rest of the game is a blast.
