  • TFA was only decent because it had the exact same story structure as ANH.

    JJ is someone who is good at selling his ideas, he’s just not very good at executing them. This started before he was handed the reigns of Star Wars (or Trek for that matter). Just look at the trajectory of Lost: everyone guessed the ultimate twist in season one so he had to spend 6 seasons pretending that that wasn’t the twist he had planned.




  • Am I thinking about this incorrectly or is there a legitimate argument for changing the current grammatical norms?

    You are thinking of it incorrectly. Language shifts and grammar shifts with it. Grammar “rules” are guidelines on how language is most commonly used to get ideas across.

    It’s still important to teach grammar because it gives someone the tools to convey their ideas in a way that most people will understand, but outside of a classroom it’s pointlessly pedantic to correct someone’s grammar unless their meaning gets muddled.

    So maybe usage will shift enough that “deers” will be the new standard plural maybe not, the important thing is you know what they meant when they said “deers”.






  • I’ve tried it and have a few thoughts:

    Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they’re not just releasing everything. I guess they’re planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.

    The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64

    The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool

    The idea of character specific playlists is interesting

    It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.

    It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.
