"I just really like girls." -Yoko Taro

Behind that hell of an answer though there's a little more depth. Yoko Taro answered that the game is set 10,000 years in the future, so when he tried to imagine what it would be like, he thought about how it was 10,000 years ago, and people back then probably would not have been able to imagine what it would be like nowadays. Thats why he decided to think freely and willfully about it. Since a lot of western games feature space marines and that kind of concept, he let his ideas flow freely and came up with a girl wearing heels in the future. Androids saw humans with their fancy clothing and high heels and sought to emulate that design, not fully understanding the purpose or utility. Yet, the biggest reason is simply that he just really likes girls.

People need to get over the fact that outside of their bubble most of the public enjoyed TLJ

Do you have a sample size for "most of the public" or were you actually Rian Johnson all along

Johnson said then -- and more recently in a GQ interview -- that such voices represent a small subset of the overall pool.

Well of course he would say that, wouldn't be very positive PR to say "Idk why the majority fanbase doesn't like our new movie yet"

"Most people I know" isn't quite the ideal sample size, because I know plenty of people from all walks of life who hated TLJ as much as I did, go figure.

That article sounds like someone who really enjoyed TLJ and is upset at the reception it got.

A study by Morten Bay, a research fellow at USC's Annenberg School for Communication, examined social media and found "evidence of deliberate, organized political influence measures disguised as fan arguments" about "The Last Jedi," in much the way outside elements have sought to further polarize political discourse.
That's troubling, to the extent it's true. But it only stokes the sense that abusive quadrants of fandom don't speak with one coherent voice, can't be mollified, and there's not much sense in trying.

The fact that they're trying to connect complaints to deliberate, organized political influence measures should say it all

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/13/entertainment/star-wars-trolls-trnd/index.html

The backlash against "The Last Jedi," the eighth movie in this particular series, turned inordinately vitriolic. While there are legitimate questions about how representative those voices are -- and indeed, what role Russian trolls and political provocateurs played in dragging the comments into the sewer -- the cacophony from social media has at times made it easier to simply tune out those voices rather than engage them.

Still, writing in Esquire last year, Matt Miller lamented that a "loud section" of "Star Wars" fans have become "tragically synonymous" with hate and bigotry.

We don't need any more Bioshock.

Make a new game with a new IP that has a good concept. Don't recycle old stuff and pretend it's brand new, especially if you're not going to involve anyone from Irrational.

It's been years since the last one and now that Ken isn't in charge anymore we might actually get a BioShock that isn't just fan service for Rapture.

Infinite is my favorite in the series....but Burial At Sea was fucking stupid creator wanking that completely ruined any semblance of a happy ending that game had.

The story mode you can finish in one sitting with that awful fucking narrator Harada personally wanted

Somehow having less content than SFV

AND it still doesn't have an Xbox One X enhancement so it looks like its done in watercolor on that console

Looking later on though it only has a 60hz refresh rate rather than 120hz that good ones have, and then something else that is measured at 8ms, and I heard that good ones are 1 or 2ms.

Would these things make it lousy for playing games on?

For console's it'd be fine, they don't do proper 4k anyway (for games), and console games rarely come close to 60 fps anyway.

-Their dollar menu consists of like 3 items, any size drinks, 4 piece McNuggets and a small coffee

-The prices of all their food keep creeping up. Snack wraps went from $2 to $2.80, McChickens from 1.29 to $2, Bacon McDoubles from $2 to $2.50, just general price bumps for the same fucking food

-Their coupons for the most part are deceptive as fuck. One offers 20% off of Big Mac! Guess how much the price of one increased by recently? The BOGO and free fries with any purchase ones are pretty much the only decent ones left

Maybe it's different for McDonald's that aren't located in the hood, but in general every single one that has remodeled has experienced the above. Gotta pay for those remodels somehow I guess.

If there wasn't one around the corner of my house I wouldn't be as inclined to eat from it, trust me
