"Reading comprehension" is starting to become a buzzword like "cognitive dissonance." It is harrowing how often I've seen reading comprehension criticized by people who clearly missed the point themselves. God help you if you venture into Linux communities, there's some kind of shared brain fog that completely deprives them of the ability to "get" anything that involves context clues.

By this logic, no businesses should rely on the internet, roads, electricity, running water, GPS, or phones. It is short sighted building stuff on top of brand new untested tech, but everything was untested at one point.

Where's any logic here? You're directly comparing untested technology to reliable public utilities.

Knowing Larian they're probably referring to all the different possible combinations of each party member and side quest endings that each get five words in the outro like in Fallout 3 and FNV. Divinity Original Sin 2 has conditioned me to expect big promises about scope to be followed by a mile-wide, inch-deep game where you get softlocked if you deviate from the main quest line's invisible rails and the "multiple endings" are all functionally the same ending.

I spent a long-ass time trying to work out why a bunch of randos, dressed in generic national costumes like when '80s Saturday morning cartoons tried to be diverse, would be eco-fascists who want to oppress the indigenous Irish. I actually almost thought it was a racist joke about how England isn't as white as it used to be.

Why does it have to be just like your sister?

Wesley Crusher isn't that bad of a character, and while he is kind of obnoxious and insufferable early on, Wil Wheaton never should have been blamed for that. The problem is with Eugene Wesley Roddenberry shoehorning a highly idealized self-insert character into the show, overriding the writers every time they tried to prevent Wesley from being written as a messiah character, and using his executive power to rewrite scripts so the wonderful, smart, kind, brilliant, handsome, young ~~Gene~~ Wesley saves the day by being amazing. You can't blame a character or an actor for bad writing and a weird old man's desire to groom a protégé.
