re: Blizzard working with Arc Raiders developer to revive StarCraft as a shooter
Posted by StansberryRules on 2/10/26 at 3:33 am to hawgfaninc
StarCraft and RTS's in general are a victim of the casualization of gaming over the past 20+ years.
Relative to gaming as a whole, RTS's are a niche genre that appeal to a certain type of gamer, usually a much more "hardcore" competitive type. They are extremely demanding to both understand and to play well.
In the late 90's, that type of gamer was much more catered to as they made up a larger relative share overall, and more importantly the dudes at the dev studios personally liked RTS's themselves.
RTS's fell by the wayside because no big studio is going to invest many years and many millions of dollars on a game for hardcore competitive players that doesn't have any hope of mass general appeal.

Just a kid trying to get a degree. Why are people so against a kid trying to go to school and better himself? Can't believe how anti education people are.

I get the feeling this will just kill Discord and within a few year people will migrate to a new platform that has way less rules.
That's been a consistent cycle throughout the Internet's brief history.

No star power, teams nobody cares about, horrible announcers, terrible QB play, horrible stadium and city, bland uniforms extremely boring game, terrible commercials, atrocious halftime
There isn't a single thing about it that was good.

re: Godfather 3
Posted by StansberryRules on 2/9/26 at 3:58 am to Morpheus
Godfather 3 is pretty bad but not quite as bad as it's remembered.
Sofia Coppola is indeed terrible. Most bad performances can usually be overlooked but she's noticeably bad.
The biggest problem with it to me is the more modern setting. Part of what makes the Godfather films so cinematic is getting to see turn of the century Italy, New York, mid century Cuba, Vegas, etc.
The movie having a much more modern setting and look and feel makes it feel very disconnected from the other two and not nearly as "epic"
Also, trying to tie into the whole Catholic church, pope death thing, felt a little too forced. Part of what I liked about the first two as that most of plot was pretty simple, behind the scenes wheelings and dealing of crime families. Trying to tie it into such "big" things took me out of it.

The problem is the NFL has become completely immune to their terrible decisions.
They have been an absolutely disgusting, poorly run freak show the last decade and ratings and revenue keep going up.
Being a monopoly is pretty sweet because you basically get consequence free living.

re: Austin Butler is attached to star in a movie about infamous cyclist Lance Armstrong
Posted by StansberryRules on 2/8/26 at 12:10 pm to RLDSC FAN
I see absolutely zero demand for a Lance Armstrong movie.
The general public barely remembers him or finds him remotely interesting.
Cycling is boring as hell. The "scandal" is boring as hell.
They make way too many biopics in general these days

Nobody is talking much about Kellen Moore these days, what's up with that?
Not alot of buzz about Brock Osweiler either.
I don't think I've even heard Josh Rosen's name mentioned even once.

This is basically Californias way of robbing high income people who dont live there but happen to pass through on business.
They are betting that can get away with it and thus far are right.
It will only change if players demand no more events there

re: Do you think Kid Rock is going to put a dent in the Bad Bunny Halftime Show?
Posted by StansberryRules on 2/7/26 at 6:57 pm to FLTech
It'll pull decent numbers but it wont meaningfully effect the super bowl numbers.
You underestimate how out of touch most people are. The vast majority of people don't even know who the halftime performer even is.

It's a great show and it's also infinitely memeable.
At this point there's probably an entire generation that hasn't seen the show and knows nothing about it except the memes.

Posted by StansberryRules on 2/7/26 at 5:54 pm to BrohemAlem11
Yes these fake cheer competitions are extremely en vouge around here where I live. Upper middle class white women with nothing better to do.
And yes every team "wins" some sort of fake championship and the parents pay lots of money for big super bowl style rings and shite.
The entire thing is just a business/hobby masquerading as some sort of legitimate competitive endeavor.
