Honestly the Lead Actress Category was stacked this year. Emma Stone played a very similar role but was far more complex. Why are people also forgetting that America Ferrera was also nominated ? Best Director is also a smaller pool than Best Picture where it was nominated. It looks bad on optics but if people actually watched all the movies they would know that each of the actresses nominated deserved it . It’s not like they gave the nomination to a man lol
Personally for me :
Xbox: Hi-Fi Rush , I love rhythm games and hack and slashes and this was the perfect combo. A lot of heart was poured into this game with the devs and I wish it had a bit more recognition .
PS5: GoW Ragnarok, great follow up to my favorite game last generation with a very satisfying conclusion. Was a close one between this and Spiderman 2 where both games were more of a refinement of the original but this had way more content.
PC: Spec Ops: The Line - Great story, decent mechanics for a fairly old game and the performance was wonderful playing on max settings at 144 fps on my handheld.
Honestly people should watch Born in Gaza. You can see what how their lives have been affected by the constant conflicts throughout their lives.
I’m not advocating for terrorism at all and that should be clear. But you can clearly see why many of these kids are so prone to being radicalized. Unnamed aggressors with no face bombing constantly whether it be farmland or ambulances or what have you. Hamas absolutely should be stopped but there needs to be a different approach. This cycle will just keep producing more and more fighters for them as they believe they are the resistance.
The infighting within the Republican Party has been fascinating to watch. From not being able to pick a speaker to now the far right holding his position hostage.
It’s funny how McCarthy out played Gaetz by announcing the impeachment inquiry right before Gaetz’s speech. It felt like it took the winds out of his sails as you could see he had to adjust what he had rehearsed.
I hope the speaker sees how out of touch and damaging to Republicans the impeachment would be and he’s posturing but you never know with these people.
Is there a solid lemmy community for MFA?
I really just don’t want to ecosystem to die. I’ve been collecting achievement, doing gamepass etc for a long time. The only way I can see them still doing that moving forward is vastly changing how they approach their PC store. Make a big picture mode that basically simulates the current Xbox OS. They had Windows Media Center before and Metro UI. I’m surprised it’s not happened yet.
