Same, the only reason why I know about it is because I clicked on it by mistake.


It’s built in to your camera app. If you go to the “Fun” section of your camera app (no idea if it’s still called that on the latest version) you’ll get asked to accept Snap Chats terms.


There is a significant difference between buying a $500 mechanical watch that will last decades vs a digital watch that needs to be replaced after a few years either because of the battery or the software.


Your point that the Acolyte flopped because of racism doesn’t stand, you’ve either dismissed or ignored my questions or provided links that are either speculation or are from a non reputable source like a lemmy comment. One would think that there would be screenshots or videos or viewership statistics or something to prove your point.


Are you serious? Not only are you linking to to a comment on this thread but you think Pedro Pascal is in Andor? He’s not even Mexican for fuck sake.


Why aren’t we hearing this about Andor? It seems like there’s only ever controversy around bad films that have marketed themselves as being diverse while never for films that are just diverse.

The article you linked says that the negative reception to wards the Acolyte “…can be seen as part of a wider pattern of resistance to diversity in media.” While speaking about specific cases in other films but not in the Acolyte. They are trying to make it sound like any form of negative criticism is linked to bigotry. It’s like they’re using racism and misogyny as a scapegoat.

I struggle to understand how some racist comments online can stop a movie or show from being popular with the masses? Where are all the “real Star Wars fans” that apparently support these shows? Most people don’t follow our care about online controversy.


Seriously? No examples? This is just an article claiming that there where racist and misogynistic comments without any screenshot or quotations of any of them. Not even bleeped out videos that they claim existed. It feels like it’s a pr stunt because they knew it would be a bad show. Again, why hasn’t Andor received the same hate? It has diverse characters and the lead actor is Mexican.


Oh please, I doubt a loud minority of people on twitter is going to make a show flop if it was actually good. What was said about the Acolyte that was bigoted?


Are we really still pushing this narrative in late 2025? Andor is a modern star wars show that has diverse characters and a queen relationship and had little to no backlash because of it. Just because you like an objectively bad show doesn’t mean that everyone else that didn’t like it are suddenly racist/ sexist/ misogynistic/ whatever other term you have for trying to justify why you like the show.

You are allowed to like bad content, I don’t think there’s a single person out there that doesn’t have at least one thing that they know is bad but still enjoy the only difference is that they’re not angry at other people for not liking it too.



I love the animations, not so much the colours, fonts and shapes.







Why should we care about how much effort they put into their weather system if they couldn’t be arsed to get the get the fundamentals right. It just comes off as deflection.


What a racist game. We have a foreign studio openly disrespecting another to the point where it seems that they couldn’t tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese culture while having interviews where they claim to be doing the opposite. Imagine being so uninterested in African culture that you’d rather create a black Samurai than set a story in an ancient African city that’s not Egypt.





How can you say that Veilguard did well while not knowing if it was profitable or not?


They gave star wars outlaws a 7/10 too







It’s great that it makes you happy, but that does not make the game objectively good.



So you agree that there are people out there with disposable income who will buy the pro for that 10 extra games. I think it’ll be 1 in 4 PlayStation owners just like the PS4 Professional . I never said majority.



People buy new cars when they already have a car to use ¯_(ツ)_/¯


Sony did this with the ps5, you had to send Mark Cerny ear pics…



Well to start, the sliding horse in the trailer.






You got it on sale so of course you’ll be less critical about how unfinished it is.



If you don't have time to watch the video, here's the gist: • By the end of this year, the Odyssey team is pivoting to work on new games set in the Omega Strikers universe. • Servers for Omega Strikers will stay on and we’ll continue releasing balance updates for the foreseeable future. We’re also planning to polish up the custom games tool and ship some other quality of life updates before the end of the year. • But after this year there won’t be any more new skins, maps, strikers, awakenings, or Striker Passes. • Any purchases you made in Omega Strikers will carry over as premium currency granted to you in our next game.
