I really liked the first book due to all the nerdy references and the ending utilizing Monty Python’s Holy Grail. Even when his friend was revealed to be a black lesbian due because it was better to present herself as a white male I just rolled my eyes. The second book on the other hand was garbage. You get the whole women in gaming lecture, the real hero was a woman trope, lgbt stuff of course, and the aforementioned character whining about the lack of representation everywhere they go or whining about the fact that Prince (they visit an area of the Oasis with Prince playing concerts) became a Jehova’s Witness and condemned homosexuality. The book overall seems to use to Sword Art Online plot as well.
It’s like the author felt the need to apologize. Although the the woke crowd a white make nerd from the 80s is evil incarnate it seems
I have noticed that I’ll watch some b movie from the 80s or 90s on Tubi or some other streaming service and had I seen it years ago I would’ve thought it was bad but now thanks to the era we live in a movie where a man is masculine and a woman is feminine and gets an automatic plus. lol
B movie doesn't necessarily mean bad. Games like Tron are clunky and unfun, not charmingly simple like Pacman or missile command. Even then, people are nostalgic for the arcade versions not the Atari versions.
Can’t argue there. True not necessarily bad but it is refreshing to just see a movie that isn’t made for a “modern audience”. My brother has mentioned before about how something like the Reacher show would be run of the mill in the 90s but now since a lot of people are starved for a good story it really shines
