You guys are ridiculous. I was including myself in the gullible ****ers comment.

I wasn’t criticizing any of you or myself for assuming he was telling the truth and having compassion. I was just saying we’d been had and using innuendo, in case by some wild mix-up, he was actually telling the truth.

Now you must really think everyone is gullible to want us to buy that nonsense.

Seems like Dominic was able to figure it out. I think my post in that thread stands for itself.

where the mentality of victimhood is nurtured and privileged to run free and unencumbered of any scrutiny or accountability.

You’re a jerk and an asshole.

I’d also like to remind Darth Id that some of us have gone to that thread for support when we legitimately need it, like when I lost my father. I really, really do not like how he referred to that thread.

Understood, but let’s not add to the fire.

I’ve got a weekend holiday ahead of me; my little brother and I are going to make an X-Wing model from 14 pages worth of templates to cut out/fold/glue. Excited because I did that kind of papercraft thing when I was younger and genuinely enjoy the process of slowing building something, where the parts little by little start to take form. My little brother hopes to the model X-Wing to imitate the film techniques done in A New Hope where the camera moves/pans around the ship to give the illusion of movement on screen. Yay!

You can remind him, but trust me, he does not give a shit.

I wonder how long it’ll be before Ridley Scott makes a prequel/sequel/sidequel to Legend that retcons Darkness, the fairies, the goblins, etc. into being extraterrestrials with sufficiently advanced technology, probably with ties to the Prometheus/Alien Universe. Lord knows preserving the film’s mysticism and grandeur come a distant second to Ridley’s need to profit off nostalgia since he’s too much of a worn-out old fart to create any new stories worth a damn.

I was going to counter this by mentioning The Martian, but it was a book first so he didn’t make that story either, but he did a good job adapting it IMO.

At least he’s not doing what George has done to his old movies. 😉

Atleast he didn’t make the Xenomorphs hate sand.

Does anyone else have muscle memory issues trying to switch out of the now nonexistent news tab?

Site update. I keep trying to go to the discussions page, forgetting that it’s now the home page essentially.

Ok, now I know what universe you are in, but no idea what planet you are talking about. I don’t see any site update, and the discussions page goes to the main forum page like it has for months (at least) now.

JEDIT: Ok I see clicking on the logo now goes to Discussions instead of the previous homepage, which is now gone.

Yeah, they got rid of the news page, which was the page I had bookmarked. I’m still trying to get used to the fact I no longer have to switch out of it.
