And coincidentally, was discovered by the Dutch.

It's also bullshit because every store has raised prices so you don't even get anything back, it just reduces the costs to what you were paying before

From all I've seen, this is a very cool game, I've just never had the opportunity to play through it for myself other than a demo on the original Xbox.

I think it's available on Steam. I'll pick it up and give it a go!

Thank you for the recommendation.

Oh my god, you are a legend. Thank you so much for letting me know about these mods. I didn't even think to check for them.

Going to have an insane amount of fun with it again!

And yeah. So many people that I recommended it to thought it was just AoE 2 again. But as you say, it actually has a ton more complexity. And the map editor and storylines were pretty awesome too.

All excellent choices from the ones I know. I particularly love galactic battlegrounds (also you're the first person I've met that's ever heard of it!) And Episode 1: racer.

You seem to have good taste, so I'll check out Rogue Squadron and Phantom Menace!

And obviously these are just my opinions, I can't fault anyone else for what they prefer.

My personal overall fav is Kotor 2. It's so good.

Hell yes. Second best star wars games ever made after the Kotor games. Instant buy for me.

The change is necessary for sure, but the person you're replying to was making the point that the 'allow' in the title is silly. Because it implies that it was previously legally forbidden to refuse a call from your boss.

Your work environment may be shitty (I work in a professional environment as well and no way am I answering to anyone outside of my hours) but that doesn't mean the law is forcing you to answer the phone.

So yeah, good law, bad title.

Which I totally understand. But, it doesn't make him likeable to me.

It's like in the MCU Spiderman movies, how it shows Flash's parents don't really care about him and implies that's why he's a bully. Like sure, that is awful for him. But it doesn't make him not a bully anymore, you know?

And I also don't judge other people that do like him, to each their own. Just for me, his entire personality and character is like nails on a chalkboard.

All I ever got from him was super rapey vibes. Nothing charming about that slimeball from my perspective.

And he feigns elegance, but it never struck me as authentic. Just a manipulation technique.

No matter how strong he is, I can never get over how insufferable his personality and voice are

[–] CordanWraith@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Ahh, a fellow Australian. And a correct one too, parma for life

I agree that it's unlikely that we'll ever get a better adaptation. But to say that PJ's adaptions were perfect is a bit insulting to the books. They weren't great adaptions. Good movies on their own, but PJ was very opinionated and they weren't super faithful.
