Oh! New to me as well and also looks great! This looks a bit more action packed, and I think will be an easier sell to my buddy. He did not like the more patient at times pace of the last flick, while I ate it up.

It feels good to be excited about Predator flicks.

Looks fun. I trust the guy after Prey. I am nervous about the Alien crossover again. I don't think it's a completely bad idea within the confines of a alienless movie, but I can't see it culminating in an inspired way.

I would be extremely surprised if they don't find a way to get more money out of it. Cosmetics for sure. Perhaps quests at some point. I feel like full expansions are kinda dead though and certainly out of scope, as isn't just the normal game in an Unreal 5 wrapping?

I play ESO, and love it, but I have been shaken down too aggressively to trust.

Noting this down for later tabletop use.

It's cool to see things get to stick around. I felt the same with APB from Little Orbit. It's just cool to see games still exist.

Oblivion has my heart, but I'm not super interested in this. So far some of the visual choices look less inspired than the original take, and I don't just mean the yellow filter. The dryad went from other worlds to person with a dryad skin equipped.

I'm more interested in the Skyblivion mod. It feels more like it improves upon what was there and has some cool deviations of its own.

Night is Coming is a trial. For those who get visually hooked in. I still downloaded it, but just a heads up in case you expected a full game.

I've played the first Mirrors Edge to like 75% maybe three times over the years since it released. I just started downloading the second today. Do you think it is ill advised to skip the last quarter of the first? It has been a while since I played it and I feel like I would burn out again.

Great game. I think it's me.

Are you offering yours up? I would be very interested if you are.

Interesting that the District 9 director is involved with the parent company.

I thought Game Informer had some cool stuff. I really liked the second opinion on reviews, that tiny box inside the full review. It was fun to pick a side when they were at odds.

That variety article is useless. It just misconstrued the GQ one.

Do you have a coherent thought or postmortem on your time with the Batman character?

I had a really good time. I loved doing the Batman movie. I loved Batman v Superman. And I liked my brief stints on The Flash that I did and when I got to work with Viola Davis on Suicide Squad for a day or two. In terms of creatively, I really think that I like the idea and the ambition that I had for it, which was of the sort of older, broken, damaged Bruce Wayne. And it was something we really went for in the first movie.

But what happened was it started to skew too old for a big part of the audience. Like even my own son at the time was too scared to watch the movie. And so when I saw that I was like, “Oh shit, we have a problem.” Then I think that’s when you had a filmmaker that wanted to continue down that road and a studio that wanted to recapture all the younger audience at cross purposes. Then you have two entities, two people really wanting to do something different and that is a really bad recipe

 

I'm seeing how often small updates break mods and wondering how people keep up. I thought maybe people froze themselves to certain versions for just combat and related changes, but now I'm realizing people probably do it for certain mods.

I'm newer to modding but I can't imagine the game without Alex's Mobs. So I guess I'll remain in 1.20.1. I've also just created my first mod and I can't imagine repeating the process over and over again.

 

I'm new to having Linux on my main rig. It's been about a month now. I'm hoping someone has a better way to handle focus while gaming.

I used to, on Windows 10, hit the Windows key to then fiddle with my panel and other opened programs (or alt+tab). In Linux Mint, I have the issue that the Super key doesn't focus the panel and menu, only the menu. I know the reasons for this but functionally It is what I wish it did.

On top of that, alt + tab yanks the cursor to the center of the game screen after initially swapping to the other program. Pushing the super key alone does this as well. But ctrl+alt+down does allow me to swap focus, but it isn't as quick to do.

I'm new so I'm thinking maybe there is a better way to quickly swap focus or even better to kill it from centering the mouse on the game occasionally when swapping around.
