There was something off about Tarkin's eyes. Not for lack of effort, just the technology being 100% perfect yet. I remember reading that the Leia CGI was more convincing because she had fewer facial details; I'd agree. Recreating the face of an older man, wrinkles and all, while making it look perfect is an enormous task. They did an astronomically good job, as is the usual for IL&M.

maybe i should play destiny--i own it
i don't trust anybody on this website to have an unbiased opinion on it
Story is non-existent, and pvp is very unfortunate. The actual gunplay is very polished; unfortunately-- in the interest of making it a "shared world fps" instead of an fps MMO-- they kept the worst parts of MMOs without the benefits. Basically, it's an FPS Diablo (if Diablo had raids, and required group effort for anything worthwhile).

I can tell you that self help is possible. It's hard, but possible. If you can figure out what's eating you and get down to the root of your problems, but you don't think you can do it alone, that's when you reach out to somebody. Not a doc, but somebody who'll listen, understand, and try to help. You gotta be ready to help yourself. Even if you've got a pal, they can't carry all the weight. That's the hard part. You have to be invested too.
Understanding the problem isn't the issue, it's fixing it. Not really something I can get help with either; it's a mental thing. Just don't have the will to get out of my own way. Anyways, thanks for your time everyone. It helps. The thread can be locked if the mods want to.

I feel as though you just asked this question the other day, and the general principles of my answer from that thread pretty much apply here as well. In summary: There's no good reason not to care. It also gives me an ego boost to know that I'm stronger-willed than those who don't.
Nihilism can go and stay go.
I asked if then, now I'm asking why. As an antinatalist, wouldn't the overall reduction of suffering (produced in this instance by caring) be a benefit?

That was one of my favorite shows as a kid. It's a shame the last (?) season didn't get localized.

I understand generally why, as best to society and the continuation of humankind, it's bad. But for the individual please give reasons as to why it is a bad idea. Because honestly, I'm not so sure of why the pain of caring is worth the burden.

It's in the title. Yeah, it's vague, but-- in a general sense-- why should we? It only leads to further suffering, so why hurt ourselves ever more?
I don't care if the answer is philosophical, scientific, or religious; I just need a good answer as to why it hurts so much to live.

It should be every year, is my contention. If they MUST release a game every year, then none, zip, zero of your games should just be skippable throwaways.
It also comes down to how hard of a fan you are. I enjoy baseball and The Show, but not enough to think every single change and addition is worth the price tag. Others who are much bigger fans might think differently. Additionally, it's just another method to cover the costs of production. Considering inflation, we are getting games for a steal as-is; that's why we have to deal with microtransactions, season passes, and copious DLC. The sports game market (and some other games) decided to release yearly without DLC rather than staging the launch with DLC/season passes. Roster updates, diamond dynasty cards, seasonal items and equipment, etc are their way of supporting the game over its lifespan to ease that burden, and (like SFV) anything that could be purchased with microtransactions can easily be earned if you just play the game.

Whereas I can give you ten franchises where you can purchase their games every single year, and I'll promise you that, even if you don't like the games in question, they offer substantially more content than you would expect to be in a simple patch or DLC update.
Only game other than SPORTS I can think of that could be close to yearly and more content would be Ass Creed or Cod and even that's debatable. And I generally don't think it's worth buying a sports game every year. Doesn't mean that it isn't also true that The Show falls outside the copy/paste nonsense of EA Sports games. They have 9 months to do everything, yeah, but you can tell they give a shit about it instead of doing a slight line tweak and updating Madden Ultimate Team like the NFL guys at EA. If it took four years for Madden to be "worth it", then The Show would take two years.

also
>actually buying every single update of a sports game
im laffin, the updates are always much cooler when you have two years between them on average. Only reason I'm getting 17 is because the players look like Oblivion characters and because this iteration fixes 90% of my issues with 16. I probably won't buy another installment until 2019 or 2020.

Yeah, same. It's one of those things I don't ever want to know too much about, because it would lose its intrigue.
I disagree. The factors that combine to form a lurching wind funnel of death make it even cooler. Natural disasters are just so dramatic that it makes the science behind them cool by default.

Like what? (Actually curious)
street fighter gets huge patches every quarter
usually packed new characters, stages, balance changes, mechanics, game modes, model updates
we're not talking thousands of useless/pointless animation, sure, but in terms of the content itself, you're getting more extra shit with a single patch for street fighter than you are for an annual $60 MLB game
so yeah sports games are still pretty scamtastic
So how does that make it more of a scam than Doom, Street Fighter 4, or any of the other thousands of games that don't offer free post game content? It's to be commended when developers use that sort of support strategy, but it's not to be vilified when they don't. The Show games offer zero DLC outside of microtransaction currency that can be earned quite quickly by just playing the game, so it's not like there's any room for staged-release content. >new characters New players >stages Updated/classic/new stadiums >balance changes One of the biggest reasons why people shell out for trash like Madden: roster updates >Mechanics Changing how stealing bases works among other new mechanics >game modes Retro mode. (The Show has game modes btw, Home Run Derby is pretty fun at times) >Model updates Making the players not look like dolls who loath the living I can understand not liking sports games in general, but over-exaggerating doesn't make your point.

Looks like after you copy and paste a game 16 times, the 17th time screws it up.
Say what you want about sports games, but The Show always manages to provide progress between entries. They've fixed the eyes, given a variety of body builds, increased the hair style and facial hair options, improved ball handling and physics, thousands of new animations (including Red Sox antics) and added more rpg-ish aspects a la NBA 2017 to the RTTS game mode.
Out of any sports game I consider The Show to be the best franchise. For most other games the "copy/paste" joke applies but with The Show it actually feels like a very different and new game year to year. Easily my most played and most enjoyed out of any sports game.
Specifically, the copy/paste joke applies to EA Sports games. 2K sports games generally aren't bad.

I'm stumped Prime. I remember a lot of movies with that premise but brain doesn't want to remember the titles of them.
Hint number 2:
Spoiler The guy and his ex-wife's sister don't get first in the contest
Ya'll are just making it worse for me.
Final hint, and a big one: Spoiler Mental illness plays a large role in the movie

Good luck. Biggest flaw is the pacing issues. There are episodes that are just exposition with a two minute fight scene tacked on at the end that takes place in dimly lit rooms with cuts every 1.5 seconds. The camera work is pretty shitty at times, which is a shame because the fights at least seem well choreographed.
Spoiler The first four episodes could have been negated if Iron Fist didn't have a missing brain.
Spoiler You mean actually talking to the Meachums and telling them things only Danny would know instead of yelling "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU" while beating up security guards, breaking into houses, kidnapping people, and being an all around cuntwad?
Haven't seen the show but Imma chalk it up to first day on the job.
Everybody's brain is missing on the first day.
FYI all of that happens before Spoiler He's even back in the company or finds out who the villain is. Literally padding the season so they could stretch it to 13 episodes. Further supported by the fact that Danny's less of a dick after that stupid sequence of events.

Protagonist's girlfriend fights his ex-best friend with psychic powers, blows up city.
Akira?
A little too on the nose, I think.
Okay, round 2: guy tries to get back together with his ex wife, gets with her sister instead.
It's gonna be Vien who solves mine likely.
Now that one's a toughie. I got a lot of movies with that rattling round in my head. Gimme some time.
Since that might be too vague, here's a slight hint: Spoiler The guy was a teacher before he and his wife seperated
