But since we are on it I strongly dislike the movie as well, so fuck you too, you goddamn Lynch nuthugger.

I like a man with opinions. :salute:

Kasparov what's the party line on Lynch anyway? I seem to recall Marat Sar going on about not liking him but maybe I'm just confused.

Lynch is not pretentious in the slightest. He is incredibly self-indulgent to such a degree that he's off-putting to a great many people.

I'm suspecting that Roguey (who loved Numenera, ironically enough) either doesn't know what pretentious means, or simply doesn't get DE.

I agree that Tides of Numenera is pretentious, however it's pretentious in a way that doesn't bother me; I can easily skim past those parts and enjoy it on a surface level. In DE, every screen of dialogue I've seen looks insufferable. The premise is not pretentious, but the execution is.

I don't know about party lines, but I like some of his things a lot. I'm literally about to draw a bath and start reading his biography Room to Dream.

People confuse "pretentious" with "facile", Lynch is always after a very specific atmosphere/expression in his work, even if the idea itself isn't actually that great when you get it. There's a part in an interview where he explains that he doesn't explain the ideas because it takes away from the work, and it's usually because the expression of the idea is more important than the idea itself. He's an audio/visual artist through and through, even to the point where it is a bit superficial.

Also he is TM cultist and TM-inspired insights are not supposed to be explainable for the average retarded viewer.

they announced the console version (which would be the complete game, including ep 5) two years ago as "coming early 2018" and nothing has been done.
what was the "major update in 2018?"

I've only seen the first 30 minutes of the game (I don't want to spoil myself) and I don't know if it's pretentious or not. I just know that it's genuinely hilarious, totaly my type of humor.

Maybe the real Episode 5 was the cop game that we found on the way.

The fuck is this shit? "funky-baby holocaust time"?!? Lol, is that even supposed to mean anything? From the description of the city it sounds like it might be an interesting setting. But they just seem to pour empty words over everything in order to make it sound... i don't even know, interesting, deep, sophisticated? Sometimes less is more and a bunch of fancy sounding words thrown in for no good reason can turn something interesting into something pretentious and ridiculous.

This game isn't gonna be what you think it is, and all the shills on this forum are ridiculous. I can only assume most are Resetera moles or Communist sympathisers from Eastern Europe. This is Torment: Tides of Numenera pt2 for multiple reasons. Whether the studio is from California or Estonia the subject matter is exactly the same.

I got banned from another forum just for talking about the the game itself. Now try to imagine getting banned for talking about the stupid shit Drow say in Baldur's Gate.

I'm not sure why you put racial theory in your game as a concept if it's so verboten to discuss, or why you have Fascism.

I've watched the whole game, and since I can't spoil it, I'll just say there are several uppity NPCs who do a whole lot of preaching and most responses end up being variations of "Yes, Ma'am".

You play a depressed drug addict loser who gets made fun of by everyone and has wild fever dreams of starting a Communist revolution. It's basically made for ResetEra.

The guys from Chapo Trap House are voice actors for fuck sake, that should tell you everything you need to know.

It's also way more linear than I thought it would be.

You got any of that bathwater for sale? Asking for a friend whose identity I will not disclose, but he's a commie from the same country as me and knows computer programming pretty well.
