In similar spirit, my theory is that this is part of how they fix the issue where PC players and PS5 players have issues making/accepting friend requests. Recently the players ID's were changed from being randomly generated to a set assigned ID, and I would have bet money that the PSN account linking could have been a way to resolve whatever issue was going on there.
Alas, no way to confirm this now haha!
Full frame or part frame?
The former is 1bil^6 pages and the latter is 30 pages
Drink when R2 appears.
If you think that's not enough for all 9 movies than add C-3PO.
That should have you well paced for all of them without killing you or being too slow.
doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.
Which doesn't change the fact that you can do your due diligence to avoid purchasing things made there? That is their point, afterall...
I use lib-redirect for everything if I really need to get to a reddit link. It's rare, but there are certain types of communities where I'd like to get a "average laymans" perspective and unfortunately just due to the size here on the fediverse there is rarely wide-spread availability. As you mentioned, specific games. Lots of hobbies. Even the opportunity for consumer tech talk, if I'm interested in replacing something that's 8+ years old there's just not a lot of existing content to search through here and that leaves blog posts and... Reddit.
I've had plenty of time recognizing what astroturfing looks like, so I rarely feel like I'm left out of options to search. All that said, I've been doing this a lot less since the whole shift happened. Maybe an endeavor every few months, rather than few days/weeks.
My friend pointed this out for the recent live action Avatar show. Their clothes were pretty much immaculate the entire time
I've been having issue with it the last couple days, but I also tend to just have issue with it overall lol
Search the credits on linkedin and the like, I'm sure you'd be able to find some
I think there's a wide spread. I'd say that there's westerns like Brokeback Mountain and Dances With Wolves, where the suspense is more from the dire circumstances and grit that they have to work through in order to survive -- few times are their lives gravely endangered. Similarly, there's the Clint Eastwood westerns where you don't really expect anything to be happening to that main character, yet they're still well received. The "True Grit" style Western -- someone to protect while you rough it through the hard life.
And then there's the westerns you're talking about, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, nearly Magnificent Seven style western where the characters present an archetype and have a fatal flaw that leads to their downfall.
The Mandalorian is more like a Western of the Week TV show where you have the drama of the grit, an undercurrent of hope that's played off the main characters hardships.
Idk. Din being invincible in the show is seemingly irrelevant to me, and not even supported in the content of the show. The first two seasons definitely have space Western episodes though, even if they might not be the more typical main character on the verge of death style ones.
Eh. I think characters dying as the only stakes is weak writing anyway. If I were using that as a judgement, all of Star Wars is terrible, especially the Clone Wars. Obviously, that's not the case. Besides, clearly the armor rating is meaningless given the events of the S2 finale -- clearly the armor isn't protecting him from impacts what with his head injury.
We if look to Ming Na Wen's character I'd even argue that being hit by blasters in New Star Wars is just an opportunity to visit the medic anyway, so Din wearing beskar doesn't really remove any of the suspense for me.
PSN hates refunds so I can see that being a large influence.
