I’ll keep this brief since I know a lot of you are tired of reading everyone’s 7 page review of the ST. I condensed it into a little list below that we can discuss.
-Rey’s arc of overcoming being a nobody was thrown away just to satisfy the people that complained that “she was too powerful” for not being a Skywalker.
-Kylo’s arc was actually really awesome and was the best part of the trilogy, BUT JJ KILLED HIM OFF BECAUSE HE DIDN’T KNOW TO HANDLE BEN SOLO’S REDEMPTION. So his redemption just feels empty and it seems like his only purpose was to turn to the light side and save Rey.
-Finn could’ve been a fantastic character, but was tossed aside for god knows why. While I’ve defended Rian Johnson in the past, there’s no excuse for the way he handled Finn in TLJ. He had no arc except for, “Oh rich people are bad.” Then JJ didn’t help Finn’s case either by just making him chase around Rey all throughout TROS. At least he made him a little more interesting by making him force sensitive, I just wish Rian and him could’ve gotten on the same page with that.
-They should’ve just had one of those two directors write the whole thing, or at least give them both an overall outline to work with. It’s pretty common knowledge by now that Disney didn’t have a plan for the ST, and it shows. I think JJ had a good vision of a trilogy and knocked TFA out of the park, but Rian had a totally different idea that felt disconnected from JJ’s plan. Then JJ overreacted by shitting all over TLJ in the most painfully obvious ways. I think either one of them could’ve done a great job if they write the whole trilogy, but they just got in each other’s way.
There’s a lot more that I hated about this Trilogy, but I want to keep this short. I liked a lot of what TFA and TLJ did, but their stories ultimately went no where, and that’s what’s the most disappointing.
I’d love to see more from Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, but I’m sure they want no part of any more movies. I’d kill to see a show with Rey and Finn learning about the new ways of the force along with Ben Solo (if JJ wouldn’t have killed him like a coward), but that’ll never happen. These characters won’t get touched again and this story was ultimately for nothing with an unsatisfying payoff.
Alright I’m done. If you skipped all that and scrolled down here, just answer one of these questions.
Did you feel satisfied by this trilogy?
Is there anywhere to go with these characters now?

Don't get me wrong, I love Dead of the Night, and the added changes to Classified. But I didn't expect to get another map already existing in a previous installment, I know the map hasn't been out yet and I haven't tried it. But the bunker section and added houses still don't change the fact that it is Nuketown Zombies. The zombies' communication is non-existence from the devs, its cool to play as both teams, don't get me wrong. But I seriously expected a different map than this. I don't know, I would say that I am not pissed, but I am disappointed as a consumer. (I own the mystery box edition and the juggernog edition) I guess we will see for tomorrow, hopefully, I can change my mind on this.
Just to clarify
(Yes, Ancient Evil is a good map. But I still feel DotN is better in terms of visual presentation and map layout. )
PS. I had the most fun out of Chaos Maps than the Aether Maps. And I do think the Aethers storyline is gonna end in this season of zombies.
what are your thoughts?
Edit: thank you, for all of your replies.
Some people, such as myself and like others, think something sounds good to themselves, but when it reaches other people's ears, comes off horrifically cringy. Either in the way its worded, the overall idea, etc...sometimes you just cant get it unless someone else tells you. But Reddit and other places can be incredibly mean and hurtful, leading to someone giving up entirely on trying to fix the problem, which is hard because it lies in being able to see what the problem is. So, you build a community of people that, while blunt, actually provide positive feedback and help identify what exactly is wrong with whatevers being said. Toxic people are removed, its closely modded, but people DO tell the truth. Which makes it a very fine line, but still possible, and intead of someone giving up, they receive help. Voila.
I've made a few posts in this sub over the years. After graduating in 2015 I'm still looking for that job that gives me some sort of career trajectory. I moved from Australia to Canada for a year with no luck, tried to find entry level positions but never managed to land that job.
I'm working in Australia as a metallurgical technician. I have three years experience in that now and I'm hoping to one day become a metallurgist. It's not too glamourous but it's somewhat suited.
I've been focusing a lot of energy learning Python and R, and getting kinda good at it. It's quite fun, so that helps. I'm moving into machine learning however it's hard to find ways to practice.
So much time has passed it's difficult to see myself in a graduate position (I'm 30 now) but I really enjoy the field of study. I still believe persistence is key.
What are the kids doing these days to broaden their resumes or repurpose their careers?
Take care fellow chem engers!
Currently combo feeding my 3 week old with mostly breastfeeding and I sometimes try to pump after she’s fed, but I can’t seem to trigger a letdown. Pumping only gets me about an ounce and hardly anything from the right side, but after I’m done if I hand express milk sprays everywhere. I know my baby can trigger letdown because she will sometimes pull away with a mouthful of milk. What am I doing wrong?
Simply saying
- we didn't get Team Bardock Giant Apes EZA
- we didn't get Battlefield 2.0 Saiyan themed
- Global didn't get extreme super battle road (and not even a discounted first multi, smh)
- we didn't get a revamp on the story event A New Threat!!! The Saiyan Warrior Race
- also a great opportunity to make the Saiyan Warrior Race link useful
all we got were 2 cards, farmable team bardock and extreme super battle road (jp only)
i really expected a lot more from but oh well, it doesn't look like we are getting a part 2 so a i hope they are working on something huge for dokkan, because we are getting a lot less content lately
Using SDS as the example since it primed this post. I love the IP. Like parts of the game. But overall, I’m not feeling it and it’s not fun.
How do you deal with your hype on a game being let down? Do you tend to push on and try to find enjoyment deeper? Or abandon it at the first sign of it’s gonna be a bad time?
They spent time building up this feud between Teal'c and Tanith only for it to end with Teal'c shooting Tanith in the cockpit of an Al'kesh at the beginning of an episode. That's kind of anti-climactic. It is a good episode, but that spot could have been done with any no name jaffa or other character. I wonder if there were issues that forced them to end it that way.
Massive disappointment after the 4 conquerors who are all really cool and actually can be played around.
So, i was assessed for and verbally diagnosed with ASD a few months ago. Since then, I've been anxiously awaiting the official report. I told myself the diagnosis wouldn't feel real until I had the official paperwork in hand. During the followup visit, I saw graphs and charts of my test results, and I was told I would get more information in the official report. I was told I did well on the tests of executive functioning, and did not have ADHD, although I did have depression and anxiety as well as ASD.
The papers arrived today. I'll admit I'm in a bad mood, but even so, they seem pretty negative. There was a lot of information about my mental health issues, such as severe anxiety, moderate depression, symptoms of trauma and personality issues. They also mentioned my health anxiety, but in the intervening time I have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition (that has been confirmed by blood work). Sadly, being a hypochondriac doesn't make you immune to actual health problems.
They also said my executive functioning tests were "normative" as opposed to good, and diagnosed me with unspecified ADHD, which seemed to contradict what I heard before.
Maybe it's just my ego or internalized ableism, but I thought the report was unnecessarily negative at times. For example, it mentioned "speech abnormalities associated with autism." During the ADOS, I mentioned the specific art styles of the pictures in a children's book, instead of describing the story. Maybe I'm being pretentious, but I think "precise terminology" sounds better than "speech abnormalities." Similarly, the report mentioned problems with education and employment. I graduated from university and have a [part-time] job. Yes, those efforts have caused me tremendous distress, but I feel that my accomplishments weren't acknowledged at all.
The thing is, I'm not actually angry about any of this (alexithymia at work?) I'm glad that I was finally able to be assessed. It's entirely possible that the extremely negative tone of the report was intended to help me--and more importantly, other care providers, to finally start taking my issues seriously. In such a case, writing about positive traits or trying to mitigate the negative would obviously be counterproductive. To clarify, most of the negativity wasn't that I was diagnosed with ASD or ADHD, although the latter was confusing, but that I have severe anxiety, moderate depression, and possibly personality and trauma issues that have gone untreated

I mean, all that hype and tens of thousands of dollars raised for what, getting to watch what is basically a recording of frame/pixel perfect tricks for a couple of minutes. Nothing against TASbot in general, but that killed my hype pretty badly.
