Pet peeves: The return (Part 6)

Whats the lore here?

Just thought about Vault 11 (the ‘Vote for the Overseer’ vault) in New Vegas again.

God it rocks so hard.

Today I learned Internet Dwellers are being weird about Hestia’s design in Hades 2.

I say Dwellers, specifically the unhealthy kind of Anime fans. Possibly some of the massively racist undertones Ive seen mentioned from folks, including a Uni friend of mine who lives over there, who actually experience the day to day.

People actually saying Studios should be shut because a character who is, in Myth, older than Zeus, is not some skimpy Anime Waifu.

… I want to put people in the Sea…

Honestly the character design is really good, the internet is a silly place.

Imagine disliking any of Hades’ character designs as if they’re not all absolute peak.

hideo kojima is the movie reviewer i didn’t know i needed. his iconic put downs where he simply tweets:

Went to see Indiana Jones.

versus glowing praise like today’s banger:

Witnessed “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”!
This movie, which easily surpasses “MAD” and even past “FURY”, is at its "MAX (masterpiece)! Ever since I saw the first film when I was 16 years old, George Miller has saved me, encouraged me, and changed my way of life countless times. He is my God, and the SAGA that he tells is my Bible.

Of all the movies I’ve watched, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is certainly one of them.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch it, as much as Disney+ keeps trying to encourage me to.

It’s fine. Don’t expect wonders, but it’s a perfectly cromulent entertainment movie to watch once and forget.

I liked how blatantly they tried to cover up that they didn’t want to work with Shia LaBeouf anymore(which is very fair), but with how much they hyped his character up in Crystal Skull it was a bit difficult.

(looks up)

…Oh.

So that’s why Mutt isn’t in Dial of Destiny. Actor controversy.

Rome was a very good show. Ciarán Hinds, James Purefoy, what a cast.

Peeve: people who take FFXIV’s “Valinor except actually appealing” society and try to reframe it as some kind of conservative enforced conformism dystopia, whereas the author intent is to portray it as a place of genuine peace and prosperity rather than an Omelas-style utopia with a dark secret.

As a friend of mine sarcastically calls this view:

“It’s bad because you’d be wearing a robe instead of your stylish and possibly horny JRPG ensemble for Stripper Catgirl”
