Upon further reflection

My humble contribution, Kai Winn

For Archer I can also imagine:

Rod Stewart's "Faith of the Heart"

Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping"

Katy Perry's "Roar"

For Janeway the only song that comes to mind is Rage's "Killing in the Name of" because fuck you she won't do what you tell her.

RIP Escapist Magazine

This reminds of a scene from a movie I recently saw.

The “founder” of McDonalds hyping up fake powder milkshakes for franchisees so they don’t have to spend money on real ice cream.

The enshittification marches on.

Ahh Deathwish I haven’t thought about that in years but yeah it does have white flight, brown gangs, and one NYC architect-cum-vigilante savior.

Dare I ask you to go further?

What’s an extreme example of a crypto-rightwing-coded-80s-flick?

I won’t say no to more of this

My brutal but fair take:

I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.

I had to blow the dust off this one https://conanzeromus.ytmnd.com/

praised for its seamless open world, amazing bosses and freedom of choice.

repetive mini bosses and dungeons, rather empty open stretches in the overworld

These can be true statements from players with different engagement levels.

If you only do the content you stumble across toward the end, it may well feel boundless.

But if you cleared every annoying catacomb, every gaol, etc then you start to see the seams and artifice.

I guess the boss funneling is accurate, because the entry toward the Morgott bottleneck is technically a funnel.

In fairness I adore the bosses because they made me level up as a player and now Consort Radahn is my absolute favorite boss to spank.

The real universal praise should be for the jump button 🙏
