Hey have you guys seen True Detective season 1. I like True Detective season 1, it's a good show. Very well acted and shot, ONE problem though: THE FANS are the biggest DIVAS I've ever beheld. These these these Rustin Cohle Lovers? It's embarrassing, did you actually watch the show and engage with it??? Did you??? He's a flawed character which makes him interesting. You're not supposed to agree with everything he says, he has the worldview, which is wrong, because he's trying to deal with the death of his daughter. DID YOU WATCH THE SHOW. Did you SEE THE ENDING. He weeps for his daughter and looks up at the sky. COME ON, man.
okay so I played the last of us video game I quite liked it, I do hate stealth but it was pretty good. I think it got the ending a bit better than the show because it's such a video gamey ending, the show had a lot of filler that was a bit unnecessary! But hey, what can you do it's what it is. It got more of a Lisa the Painful at the end, or the other way around rather hm very wise.
In 2013, the way to show something being up with timeline shenanigans in video games was to have the character experiencing it nosebleed.
I have not played the Last of Us game, but I felt strongly that the series finale (episode 9) lacked OOMPF. It was very well written and preformed I thought, and I enjoyed the plot points that happened a lot as this was a competently put together story. I'm also not usually a fan of lengthening things without a good reason, and thought the pacing was good, but it did feel a little like it was skimming through the events.
Really, my biggest issue I think is the long sequence where Joel goes on a rampage against the fireflies. Or rather, I guess that it wasn't long enough? I felt like this sequence could've been improved a lot by taking a page out of a similar story, "Lisa: The Painful". Somewhat similar events happen in that game and what really puts a cherry on the ice cream of the whole game and gives it a great climax to it's story is this feeling of justified violence and power fantasy the main character feels in the final fight. This feeling is of course incorrect, and what's happening is just a broken man finding a way to take out his anger on the world, similar somewhat to the TLOU season 1 ending!
What I think they really could've done here is lean into Joel's power fantasy a lot more, and really make it a bombastic epic sequence with tension as he blasts through the various hordes of really just regular people, grand music playing throughout to really put the viewer in his headspace. Make us feel conflicted like we're in his perspective by making this a grand epic sequence where he himself feels like a hero, to really contrast somewhat to the events, and how morally gray this decision is. Make the viewers feel really invested in this sequence, and make the sequence feel somewhat off and wrong. I think this would've greatly strengthened the episode and contributed to a good series finale.
I think that the Fallout: New Vegas DLC Lonesome Roads is pretty OK. Like, I get that people dislike it and I agree with plenty of the critiques and generally don't like Chris Avellone as a writer but I do think he nailed a lot of things with Ulysses. It's probably the most interesting reflection in the Fallout universe I've seen in a fallout game that seems kind of ignored by the other games. But like, yeah I do think the critiques that people have usually hold up more than 'The dialogue is pretentious', I feel like the dialogue has a lot to offer but the involuntary changes to player backstory is pretty bad, plus the weird tunneler stuff, what happened there? Having a nuke be a part of the story and it having like, long lasting effects was really cool though. Honestly the ED-E stuff was bad, I didn't like how dog based it was, it felt pandering in a way the Ulysses dialogue never felt.
Anyways I think LR is both like probably one of the better FNV DLCs in the Ulysses dialogue, but the backstory twists and the ED-E stuff was boring and kinda dull but the reflections were pretty balling. I don't get why a lot of gamer reflections don't see the whole 'The Divide Community that was something new' reading as like a leftist socialist society thing, maybe that's just me though as a leftist.
It was a rainy day , for MAX BARHWHELL. One of many, but one too little for the young Coop. Sunny day
So the thing with a lot of media right now is that sure it isn't that good, but it feels great to watch things so that doesn't really hurt their quality. Like the way we consume media nowadays (or at least me specifically, and people like me) consume media is really unintuitive. Which leads to the quality of the media not really mattering, because the way it's consumed is like... It's like putting music dialogue pictures and putting it into a blender. And then people absentmindedly consuming the slog you've made, sure there'll be more appreciation of better things but it's still slog. I am really smart and thoughtful for having this.
