Comment on Behind the ‘Supergirl’ bomb: competing cuts, creative differences in ~movies
TheRtRevKaiser Link ParentThe section you quoted says that the studio's cut tested slightly higher, though?Seems pretty clear that Gunn decided to take over the film in post production, made his own edit and had it compete with Gillespie and decided to release his own edit even though Gillespie’s tested a bit higher.

Just cook some bacon in it first thing, or rub a thin layer of canola oil and let it get nice and hot a couple of times. It's really not that deep. Also, don't use dish soap containing lye, which I seriously doubt you were going to do anyway. If your skillet ever gets too much buildup and things are sticking, or if the bottom gets scorched, just give it a good scouring and re-season it.

I live in the southeastern US and we're used to and equipped for high heat and humidity, but I can't imagine trying to deal with them without AC.

Also I think I saw the possibility of pve only but I'm not sure. The new night map certainly looks like it would be a good spot for a pve horde mode.
I do think that you're right about the advantages of a low ttk, and none of the different dials that they have are simple. It does seem like they're looking at feedback and being pretty responsive so I'm not unhappy.

So the thing is, it's actually a shockingly fun game to play. On paper it sounds kind of awful but it's quite fun. It's got some stuff headwinds to face but I'm expecting it to continue to pick up new players unless bungo does something catastrophically stupid. Which would not be out of character for them as a studio, to be fair.

I do wish the game was tuned with pvp conflict in mind a bit less. As it is I rarely encounter other players in ways that are anything but instantly hostile because of how low the ttk is.

I'd recommend coming in with a squad of people you know, I don't like playing with randoms and solo play is fairly sweaty although playing as rook can be fun.

I've heard of VanDerMeer but never read any of his stuff. How dark would you say he gets?
I'll second Abiotic Factor. My group played a lot of survival/crafters in a row and I got burned out. Abiotic was the survival game that we played when we came back around to the genre and it's a standout for me.
