Hagrid is probably the best new ride in that park.

Damn the ministry of magic seems amazing

Everything in the park seems to be great

I loved the attention to deatail and the the actual feeling of being in another world when i went to the Harry Potter zones. JK Rowling aside that was one of my favorite experiences ever on a vacation. And to have that kind of care given to other IPs and especially the Universal Monsters, absolutely has me excited for Epic Universe. Weirdly enough, my faorite parts of the Harry Potter zone was the themeing in the shops and eateries. I cant wait to see what they cooked up for my monsters.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/introducing-universal-epic-universe.810891/page-4?post=118429707#post-118429707

Absolutely.

My favorite thing to do at USO is to get a butterbeer ice cream from Florean Fortescue's and sit in Knockturn Alley and watch people do the interactive wand spells.

I'll also note how Nepenthe apparently believes the only people you should treat as acting in good faith or respect in any manner are "close friends" while demanding that others have a duty to treat staff, and thus her, with those at all times.

[Boredfrom]

constantly having discussions and roundtables with people, and constantly working with staff in the wee hours of the morning or actually on the clock at my real job(s) to get these agenda items off the ground.

[kaleidoscopium]

Wasn't Nepenthe one of the ones arguing during the acquisition that they DIDN'T want to be paid for what they do?

[Hap Shaughnessy]

It's a fucking video game forum.

OP never returned to this thread  https://www.resetera.com/threads/nsfw-i’m-pretty-sure-i’m-about-to-lose-my-virginity-sunday-1-28-what-do-i-need-to-know-nsfw.807966/

Gee, I wonder what could have happened

thread is GONE for me, wonder which admin lurks this site

It got sent to the non-public section and locked

If the OP wants to engage or have the thread reopened they can ping us and we'll happily oblige. Aside from that it's now locked.

Remembering how Nepenthe once said how it's so hard to update the community guideline thread and that they keep working at it. You know the thing where they'd just have to paste the rules they're already applying

[Snoopy]

I’m offended. No, actually I’m disappointed that the discord rees are harassing Mep Mep again. Why can’t they just leave her alone? Are the things she does with peanut butter and her neighbour’s spaniel disgusting? Maybe. I mean it doesn’t sound good, but how about we wait until the police investigate the spaniel’s complaints before rushing to judgment.

[AldusMoneyPenny]

Honestly expected Beekeeper to review worse than this.

Mr. Positive shows up:

I saw that movie last night and it's so bad. I don't understand how it reviewed better than this. Like neither of them are good movies but YIKES.

Imagine going to see a Statham movie called The Beekeeper and not loving it.

Who did the spaniel voted for during Trump and Biden voting day?

[TylenolJones]

And replace us with who? Applications have stalled in part because a lot of people we do pick out and want to interview have told us there's absolutely no way they'd do this job because they've seen how the member base can act towards the staff.

Yep, that’s definitely the reason people don’t want to be moderators. It’s definitely not having to be on call to babysit a bunch of manchildren and not getting any kind of payment for it. 

Even 4chan can get new moderators.

[DSC]

that wall of nep text is amazing

never misses a beat to make it about herself and how tough it is for her personally

makes sure to add the (s) to job so we know just how hard it is for her out there

points out that ppl don't show up in good faith while being insulting and condescending in every thread she arrives in

talks about "all the times i've apologized" when we can all read her posts. we see what happens when ppl call you on your shit, nep. they get banned, and you trot out the "i don't owe you service with a smile" line to justify being a bully


she needs to realize the truth. the userbase fundamentally doesn't trust the staff at this point. it ain't about brigading, people on other sites fomenting discord, or any of that shit. it's that regular ppl can recognize patterns, and bounce out of threads where certain ppl post. when they see over and over that the mod team acts capriciously, ppl don't need the bire to tell them what's up

From the main thread for the game:

I just can't get past the awful female character designs in this. They are just the epitome of the "ass is a part of her character" thread on here. All the male designs are grounded to the world and look like they belong within it, where as every single female character looks like a nexus mod from the adult section.

It's bad enough to the point that I'm just not interested in the game at all now.

[Boredfrom]

oomer game with eye rolling characters and plot. No surprises here. Embarrassing to see them put it up front. It may make money but it feels out of touch and trashy to trumpet it like they are. But maybe I'm out of touch, most of the seasonal anime industry lives off of the fanservice dollar to some degree.

Maybe not out of touch just tried as this keeps happening. In some ways this was the game dev attempt to move away from the gacha theme stuff but they still kept carrying the fanservice and flat characters with them.

Man, the old "I dont know shit about these games but i hate them because RE told me to". 

The same discourse with the Senran Kagura games 10 years ago.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I don't understand the drama. I thought Ree would be the first to jump on the whole "Men wanting to play as cute girls" thing. They literally have a genocide sticky about it.

[BIONIC]

I’m not playing Stellar Ass Blade until I read the Melody Shreds review

[Boredfrom]

The plot seems cliche as hell (rolled my eyes with Eve, Adam and Lilith), but they act like they have not championed games with stupid cliche plots as long they like the game politics.

I really don't see the point in an Until Dawn remake, but I guess PC gamers will enjoy modding the crap out of it to stick Gordon Freeman or Genshin Impact characters into the game.

Yeah uh, that's definitely what people use mods for in a game that already has a half nude Hayden Panettiere. They'll definitely mod in Gordon Freeman

I wouldn't call it a snub. There was a lot of competition this year and Barbie I don't think was quite there. I did enjoy it a lot.

I'd absolutely call it a snub. Greta directed the fuck out of thst movie.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/oscar-nominations-jan-23-at-8-30-a-m-et-5-30-a-m-pt.808395/page-10?post=118034313#post-118034313

Which nominated director would you replace?

Scorsese.

Of course.

I mean there's different opinions and then there's unqualified statements like "Oppenheimer is among the most important movies ever made"

I'm not sure I've seen a more pretentious comment than telling someone their opinion on a movie is "unqualified."

User Banned (Permanently): Sexist Commentary; Long History of Inflammatory Commentary

Lucky me, Zone of Interest will be playing in my area this weekend. Hope it delivers. Still have yet to see Barbie, and I'm just gonna hold out until theaters start doing the Best Picture nominee re-release leading up to the award show. Robbie getting snubbed for Best Actress is funny, but Gerwig getting snubbed for Best Director again... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I might like the movie when I eventually see it, but as someone who already thinks Gerwig is overrated, that BD snub sure did put a smile on my face. She can have the Adapted Screenplay win for all I care though if she loses in category, I'm gonna laugh my ass off so hard

People need to say who would they have taken out of the nominees list to put margot robbie and Greta Gerwig

careful, when people did this in the oscars thread people started getting really racist about some of the other nominees

One guy suggests replacing Lily Gladstone:

Two things: white feminism is really running amok nowadays and Margot Robbie gave a good response.

He sounds like an asshole but dunno what is the sexist commentary? Dude just doesn’t like Greta Gerwig.
