Maybe i missed something so how is he at odds with his cult's beliefs though?

You didn't miss anything explicit, I'm reading between the lines here. The fact of the matter is Din will take his helmet off for Grogu. He was "redeemed in the waters" but it's a fake redemption without any intention to change. We all know Din wouldn't hesitate for a moment to take off his helmet again to save Grogu. He's just going through the motions now but at some point he has to confront that he's not a true believer anymore. Or at least, he should  

Solid finale!

I think Din still needs to confront the fact that he's at odds with his cult's beliefs though. Hopefully that's a thread in season 4.

This is the correct answer. You can close the thread now.

Annnnnnd, back to 100% achievements!

I have kind of a broken build at his point where I was killing things faster than the game would render them and got up to something like level 350. And that was in the second level of the DLC which is otherwise pretty tough!

Easiest to build with Queen Sigma since you get all the re-rolls, but it was:

* Victory sword

* Lightning ring

* Holy water

* Rune tracer

* Eskizzibur

* Song of Mana

* Cooldown

* Duration

* Duplicator

* Armor

* Attract orb

* Area

It's just non-stop raining hell. I might be able to amp it further. The Song of Mana does the least DPS in the long-run but is really good early game. It might be worth replacing it with the new spell ability since it evolves from its own three weapons and then compressed back into one, but it's a harder leveling story.

You have guns pointed at the door that's an advantage. Popping your head in front of a window is a disadvantage.

Awkwardly pointing the gun at the door as you open it sounds like a bad idea.

Just shoot straight through the door, never looking at who is behind it.

You're welcome.

I've been assured by republicans that people having guns makes everyone safer. Fake news.

I don't.  But not sure what this means in this context? I know people didn't like FF15, but I remember everyone praising FF7R's combat when it came out? Have things changed? 

I really like FF7R's combat. I like pretty much everything about it, actually! It along with Persona 5 are my favorite JRPGs in a long time. I think the last JRPG I enjoyed before them was Last Odyssey and maybe FFX before that.

FFXVI looks pretty hot too and I'm excited for it!

Starting to get pretty excited for this. Question is, do we buy two copies, because I don’t think I can wait til my husband is done with it. And he’ll be the one playing for like 8 hours a day, lol. 

Not that my vote matters, but I vote yes, get two! No reason you should be left out!

Talk about a critical role!

 

Matt's awesome. Glad it was finally confirmed.

Greef feels like a stretch unless we’re talking about a Heavy Rain situation. We haven’t seen him alone much, but we’ve had a couple moments with him where he’s not in front of Mandalorians and behaves like he’s aligned with them. Also him aligning with Moff Gideon specifically doesn’t feel right.

 

The Armorer makes more sense. There was beskar on Gideon’s transport, his helmet has flourishes similar to The Armorer’s and to Boba Fett’s, and it seems unlikely Gideon would have been able to field a squadron of beskar armored troops without someone who knows how to work the metal. Also allowing Bo-Karan to take off her helmet and to take de facto leadership of her covert feels a bit out of character for her.

 

I guess “spies” could mean both of them, but I figured it was a reference to Gideon’s buff informant in the New Republic and whoever Gideon has on the inside.

DLC is out now!

And just like that, my 100% achievement rate is gone.

Nintendo games don't go on sale often do they?

Looks fantastic. That little hint of the OG theme tickled all my nostalgia bones.

I said what I said.

That episode was awesome. Very much looking forward to the finale.

Is this possibly dementia? It's just so fucking weird and the dude is old.

Well, it won't last long with the new expansion coming out, but in just under 50 hours, I've finally unlocked all achivements!

Dreams of electric sheep. I also go by the handle "Legend."

Absolutely stunning. I haven't been this impressed with a jump in graphics since Cyberpunk. Which is a weird thing to say!

Now I really have to think about whether I want to get a 4090 or wait for the next generation like had been my previous plan.

Or Luke Skywalker going from farm boy to force guiding proton torpedos in a matter of hours. 

Hmm. I never interpreted Luke as guiding the torpedos with the force so much as he used the force to help him line up a very difficult shot, which seems very much in line with what any force sensitive individual can do and often do do instinctually. Luke even comments in the briefing before hand that it wasn't some impossible shot.

FWIW, I enjoyed it and know nothing about the previous anime nor manga.

I also watched it dubbed because I'm a heathen.

You don’t need to build to the history of anything in Star Wars, the cheesy gordita crunch has been on the menu at Taco Bell longer than the Empire existed. 
 

That said I am always in favor of the movies being better or, dare I say, good. 

I'm on board with retconning details as they go and I don't expect Star Wars to have anywhere near perfect consistency. But the ST feels like it puts them in a position that's more egregious than usual. Mostly, I blame JJ.

J.J. Abrams fucked things completely by making TFA a poorer remake of ANH. By ruining the wins the heroes earned in ROTJ by resetting things 30 years later, everything in between is forced to build to a new Empire fighting new Rebels, which just repeats the OT. TLJ tried to course correct by basically being two movies in one so Episode 9 could do something new but Abrams went fuck that, bring Emperor back, ROTJ part 2 instead. Now we have to get past Episode 9 to do anything interesting again.

To make it worse, there's no real build to the new order existing that could be explored in the in between. The new order is just kind of there all of a sudden and apparently all powerful. How the hell are you supposed to build to this future? You can't have an interesting iterative fall and instead anything accomplished by the characters in this era just has to suddenly not matter because the NO just takes over immediately somehow.

The PT was bad in lots of ways, but I think it succeeded in its world building, which has been great when looking at the whole franchise.

You know, I really wish the sequel trilogy didn't exist. I find the world they're building from the extended mando verse much more interesting, but the sequel trilogy makes for this awkward future that they somehow have to eventually fit this new stuff into and I can't see it doing anything but constraining it.
