But no, we immediately dived into talk about "death panels".

You just can't be at the top of your game if you're not gripping a HOTASS

Sterno

Maybe I can buy @Wipqozn the E:D expansion pack if he beats Bad Rats 2. MAYBE

Tim Stone

@Yuuki The game is coming along nicely, each update so far has made it better

Yuuki

19:24

@TimStone I just don't like how "miles-wide, inch-deep" it was and they decided to release a paid expansion pack rather than put in a few more free content updates.

Sterno

Just saw Rogue One. It had some problems but is definitely the best of the last 5 Star Wars movies.

Yuuki

@Sterno I really don't compare Rogue One to the other Star Wars movies. They're fundamentally different movies, imo.

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno i wouldn't say it was better than force awakens

but better than prequels hands down

Yuuki

The characters in Rogue One are rather one-dimensional in comparison to The Force Awakens but that's fine because Rogue One isn't the archetypal "hero's journey" film that The Force Awakens (and the rest of the Star Wars films) is.

Sterno

I might need to watch Force Awakens again. it didn't do a lot for me though

GodEmperorDune

19:26

@Yuuki yes i agree with this

Sterno

Oh. Other than Forest Whitaker. He and/or his character were pretty awful

Yuuki

Rogue One is more of a "message" film, where the characters serve the plot and the delivery of the theme rather than the other way around.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki and the message is that elon musk left a fatal flaw in the death star

arda

is this what I think it is?

That'd be interesting.
