I get your point, but some people do really just want to relax with a choose your own adventure book with some cool art and catchy music, no need to act surprised when people have different tastes than yours!

The songs are still written and composed by humans, only the performance is Virtual, and even then they are mocapped. It’s more akin to vtubers rather than AI

Thank you for bringing up some happy memories

I want Tim Rogers to be my dad so he can tell me bedtime stories

That works for consumers because they don’t have nothing to lose. Smaller devs will still gravitate towards Unity because the various fees don’t apply to them, but any big studio won’t touch it with a ten feet pole. Immagine putting the salaries of a full studio in the hands of a company that might decide out of the blue to ruin your business model, it’s a nightmare scenario for any CEO! More so when there are viable alternatives

Fuck landlords, but this is pretty stupid. Most contracts have a “fair use” clause, if the water bill is too high you’ll probably have to pay it yourself. Plus don’t waste water you dingus

The first three books of the original trilogy are quite good, I enjoyed them a lot and I think they work quite well even on their own as more action focused scifi books. The fourth one is garbage, it’s an unnecessary addition to a complete trilogy and it caused quite the controversy at the time because it got a lot of stuff wrong about the universe. The comics are fun but nothing groundbreaking, most of them cover some side stories about characters that happen between me2 and 3. I havent read the Andromeda ones but I’ve heard good things, iirc the quarian one was supposed to be a DLC that got scrapped and then turned into a book

I don’t remember exactly the number of hours, but I’d say less than 5! It’s tied to player level/story progression. You get your first one a couple of story beats after your first mission with a cutscene in it ( the data collection one)

Exoprimal has been my surprise of the year. Really thought it was mediocre after a couple hours in but then it opened up with more game modes, dinos and became way more team focused and fun. The 10 player raids are some of the most fun coop I’ve had in the last years

Sono andato a vederlo giovedì, eravamo in 3 ragazzi e altrettante ragazze in range età 25/35. Personalmente l’ho ritenuto molto piacevole e divertente, mi ha sorpreso tanto quanto The Lego Movie a livelli di qualità, anche se Barbie si avvicina di più alla comicità degli spoof movie alla Anchorman (Will Farrell è quasi sempre una garanzia infatti)

La parte che voleva lasciare un messaggio positivo era carina seppur banalotta ( che ci sta visto che comunque vuole avere come target anche adolescenti), unica nota che ho trovato abbastanza negativa è il “finale”, mi è parso come se la Mattel abbia preso il possesso del film e abbia detto “ok va bene fare un film bello però abbiamo cacciato giù i milioni per far sta pubblicità e dobbiamo assicurarci che sviluppi il brand”.

L’opinione delle mie amiche è stata molto più forte, erano quasi tutte prese in pieno dalla nostalgia e capivano i vari riferimenti ai set di giocattoli, ed essendo ragazze il messaggio del film è risonato molto di più. La più “femminista” tra loro ha ritenuto anche lei il messaggio banalotto e lo “spiegone educativo” molto noioso, ma non ci ha trovato nulla di sbagliato o negativo.

È piaciuto a tutto il gruppo e ne siamo usciti soddisfatti! Personalmente non lo rivedrei ma in generale non mi viene da riguardare i film
