  7. this sure beats that meme thread that's for sure
  8. Not a PC but maybe someone knows the answer: we switched the TV in the main room connected to the TiVo and it's been giving us problems. If you turn the TV on, that output doesn't display on the full TV and there is no audio. If I unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in, the screen displays properly and the audio kicks back in. Problem is I have to do this every time I turn the TV on. Any ideas why?
  9. yeah
  10. what did Disney do to attack fans, I thought it was different sides of the SW fanbase aligning inteo two camps based on politics just like everything else in this godforsaken timeline and attacking each other but really It's all over political tribalism and not actually the substance of SW

  12. Without litigating each point one by one (some of which seemed to apply to other characters in the series, like Luke in OT), I don't see how any of that, if it's legitimately a problem, is an example of "virtue signaling" or "woke"ness over lazy or sloppy writing.
  13. I set it up you nimrod
  14. It's a post count thing threshold. I want to say it's either 500 or 200; I can check when I get home.
  15. I would say that, while the prequels had an arc expected from the beginning, the originals did not tell a cohesive story until the third movie. The gap between finishing ESB and writing RotJ was huge, and the direction RotJ took was probably influenced more by the internal politics behind the scenes more than anything else. So these new films are much closer to the originals in that regard, where we won't know what the final story of the trilogy is until it ends because they're making it up as they go along, with different writers doing different things. The first film was a soft remake of the original and the second is controversial due to the director's pull towards the subversion of expectations over all else (sometimes including plot or character development), combined with the direction the old Luke character took. So there are things to criticize, which I don't contest, and for example I definitely feel a lot of the subtext in RLM's "nerd crew" satire videos. But I specifically don't get the criticisms of "virtue signalling" or "wokeness" - like what do those labels actually speak to that other criticisms, like quality of writing or corporate sterility, don't more accurately reflect?
  16. How old is it?
  17. this is his first post-asmb account
  18. it's not bucket, it's inception92
  19. general warning: don't get too heated or personal, this is the anime folder - not rants - and a stricter moderation standard applies.
  20. I honestly don't understand that criticism of new SW movies. I understand criticisms from the angle of it being sterile, corporate largess (over prioritizing storytelling) in pursuit of endless profits, which is just the prequel era on overdrive (which was itself RotJ on overdrive), combined with total oversaturation by the point they released Solo (five months after the film before it). But I just don't get the SJW/over"woke"ness criticism - especially when, in comparison, the prequels became so overtly political by the end.
