I don’t mind certain shows / movies where it makes sense.
Wonder Woman kicking some random dudes ass? Makes sense.
Sarah Connor fighting a terminator because she has guns and spent years training? Makes sense.
Some petite woman simultaneously kicking the ass of half a dozen men who are ex soldiers 250 lbs and 6 1/2 feet tall? Absolute retardation.
Sadly, the last one is what we see the most now.
After my 5 minutes of research, it is a webcomic artist. Everything checks out too. Her earlier work turned very anti-Trump and MAGA and she does indeed have an onlyfans. She’s not even that attractive. She’s just whoring herself out because she found some Reddit simps who will throw money at her because orange man bad.
Summation: boardgames are only tariffed at ~20% and not the 245% they are claiming. It’s only due to incompetence in filing tariff codes that companies doing business in China are getting bent over.
It’s also piss poor management when a multi million dollar company can’t absorb the small cost of additional tariffs when their kickstarter backers essentially funded the entire production run.
TL:DR: Greed and incompetence.
$20 is overinflated too. The writer said it was actually about half that. For a game that easily cost well over $120. That’s insane markup.
Here’s what amuses me most. The creator of Gloomhaven, works or worked in the county I live in which has a board game manufacturing facility.
Pisses me off too because it’s one of my favorite board games.
There is a company in my city that makes board games (I think they make Terraforming Mars, among others). It’s certainly feasible to do within the United States.
I own several stonemaiar games. But if they don’t want to move production to the USA then screw them. There’s plenty of table top games out there.
The thing about the original trilogy is how rewatchable it is. It’s great every time I see it again.
The prequels weren’t quite like that but the action and CGI was a blast. Even if the acting and writing were bad.
The sequels were awful. TGA wasn’t terrible, and it brought back some nostalgia but not worth seeing again. TLJ was woke bullshit that should’ve never been made. I regret watching it. The last sequel I didn’t watch.
Now, rogue one I’ve seen three times. It has some fantastic elements and really good scenes that echo the originals. However, rewatching it wasn’t the same. Each time I felt like the magic just wasn’t there. Maybe because I’m getting old and jaded. Still and good movie but lacking the rewatch factor.
Now, Andor was good. But it’s a different beast. It’s a slow build up to a crescendo back to a slow build up and another crescendo. But holy cow was it good. I’m terrified that they’ll ruin season 2 though.
Not only will they fail to maintain, they will actively destroy what is working to salvage the parts.
They see more value in short term gain than long term results. I’m not even sure they can conceptualize long term results.
