System Wars Lounge V 84: May 2021 is looking great for games

Wow, Carnage looks sick in Venom 2:

The beginning of the trailer gave me Little Shop of Horror vibes and for that, I'll go see it🤘

Venom is better than any of MCU trash Spiderman movies.

Toby spiderman movies were pretty good but MCU movies are trash.

I didn't enjoy any Tom Holland Spiderman movies except Civil War. Love Tobey's Spiderman 1 and 2 very much. And Yeah , Vanom 1 was great.

@kazumakiryu21: Honestly, even Spiderman 3 take over all the ones after.

Watched Far From Home earlier this year, very hollow experience. Felt like it was ticking checkboxes.

Meanwhile -

I'm shocked that there's a person in the world that agrees with me that the MCU films are weaker than the original trilogy.

Spider-Man 3 was a gift :P

@iamdavey: Kinda surprised some people put the Marvel shit above them. Spiderman 2 especially is fucking amazing.

Even something as flawed as Spiderman 3 has some banger scenes.

Probably suffering at a time when Superhero movies were shifting towards dark and serous thanks to Batman Begins, and fun goofy cartoon shit for the time wasn't favored.

Pretty nice that those Chinese Networks just seem to legally put all their shit up on Youtube for anyone to watch.

Seems unusually generous.

I had fun with the MCU but none of the films compared to Spider-Man 2 or Into The Spider-Verse for me personally.

Yea, Into The Spider-Verse was pretty good.

Nice to see animation outside of Disney succeed.

Yeah, it was great.

I don't know about Sex Therapy (Sex Rehab) but I like their take on Lady D: Sex Therapist's Take on Lady Dimitrescu

IMO, it mainly has to do with her having gothic beauty, along with her size, the physical strength she has, and her power within the village community, as it all culminates to command degree respect, and is also mainly appealing to people who have BDSM and giantess fetishes. Tall women are rare so it's no wonder why Dimitrescu is getting lots of fame.

@davillain-: It's Goddess worship.

Didn't seem to ever bring up vampirism, kind of odd. Linked with romance/sex. Sexual repression etc...

Jonathan Harker left in a castle to sucked repeatedly, woman not resistant to Dracula advances. Lucy turning sexually provocative. Bla bla bla... And then all the shit afterwards. Hammer Horror, Interview With A Vampire, Twilight etc....

Lady Dimitrescu also doesn't dress particularly sexualized, which do bring bring up.

Donno, just seems weird they never brought that up in combination with the height. Even if she's not literally a vampire (which the concept art indicates is designed to be), I mean it's literally in a Romanian Castle with terrorized villagers.

Probably a really dumb idea but all this talk about The Medium makes me want to try it sooner rather than later. The Xbox Series S is currently readily available; would it be dumb to get one and then sell it and my Xbox One X when the Series X is readily availabe?

I play it through Game Pass for PC like 5 months ago and it wasn't bad but just glad I didn't pay full price for it. The Medium to me was somewhat of a Silent Hill successor in a way so I kinda gave it a pass but not the type of game I'll replay again. If you have Game Pass, just play it from their.

I mean it's really rare you'll see a tall woman such as Lady D. so hey, I can dig the Goddess worship.

Mr D worshipping Lady D 😁

The nephilim were the biblical "giants in the earth". This is mentioned directly in the Holy Bible. Fallen angels, filled with special powers and knowledge, that departed from God because they wanted to rule over man. They developed a lust for flesh, and bred with human females, passing on their innate abilities. The children of the nephilim are known as Elioud, a part-angel hybrid race. They are huge, like the nephilim themselves, towering over common humans. These are the original vampires. Lady Dimitrescu in this example would be a direct descendent of the nephilim progenitors.

Here is a particularly relevant passage from the Book of Enoch (chapter 7). Note the bolded part at the bottom.

"And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them [the daughters of men], they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.

Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise;

And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime.

But they answered him and said; We all swear;

And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.

Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of mount Armon.

That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, and bound themselves by mutual execrations.

These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael,

Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them.

Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.

And the women conceiving brought forth giants,

Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labour of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;

When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;

And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood."

They got a good egg there.

@uninspiredcup: She's a spoiled brat.

The thumbnail gave it away😅

Yea, looks like Clueless cosplay.

Hilarious as well the parents took her back after essentially trying to get them to pay for her life for free. I mean, she's fucking 18 lol

@uninspiredcup: this is all you

@SolidGame_basic: Is this the Millenial/Gen X (adult) version of star wars marketing on canned soup? 'Cause I would also buy that.

@SolidGame_basic: Dam, just realized never had rice cake before. Unless CoCo Pops counts.

Almost bought a Series S but the crap memory and no disc drive put me off.

Universities are so backward thinking that it is frustrating to work with upper administration.

Who did?

Upper administration is by nature backwards. That's why they're all up there, and you're down here.

@Pedro said:

heh speaking of, the ps5 version is more expensive for reasons unknown and the ps4 comes with a free ps5 upgrade, which you get digitally, so with decent internet its faster to install than the ps5 version too

My god, I can't wait for this DLC:

And yeah, I saw this too. Not since City Hunter (Jackie Chan) have I seen live action Street Fighter outfits accurate to the games. It's the most recent thing Power Rangers released that I have watched and I ended up re-watching the original series on Netflix US recently.

Chun Li looks more fun there than she does in SFV.

@davillain- Hey MrD found a video to your liking lol

Yeah for PC I no longer have a disc drive, and though I do occasionally buy a phyiscal copy (purely for the CD key) most of my purchases are digital.

But on consoles digital purchases are still a rarity for me.

@kazumakiryu21: I'll give Capcom some credit regarding making Lady Dimitrescu, it open people eye's what video game woman were like back in the days and not going the Abby route. This is what developers have forgotten about.

Edit: Also, I saw someone try shooting her in the butt lol. Never came to my mind doing it myself, just trying to survive and watching my back was my priority.

Go and spank her some MrD :P

@kazumakiryu21: If only I could but I'm in a rush. I gotta get RE8 done cause Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and Days Gone PC are gonna take much of my gaming time lol.

Really a great month for gaming. Lucky you. I cant afford any of these games full price currently ( Have Days Gone on PS 4, will buy it again on steam on bargain bin ). I will have to wait , but will get all eventually :)

Hey indzman. people are calling you my alt. what the hell you done???

Talking to yourself makes it more cringe my freind, so let us discuss.

Gal Gadot is in SOME trouble.

Has ma boy' Eddie put up an article yet?

Surely ethnic cleansing is up there with verbally shouting at people on the set of a Superhero movie.

What kind of trouble? All I heard was that both Gal Gadot and Keanu Reeves are going to be in a new Star Wars movie that's going to be Disney+ exclusive.

Political trouble. Over her views on Israel-Palestine.

@davillain-: It's twitter shit, so no trouble

Just some basement dwellers who know nothing about politics looking for a reason to cancel a woman who intimidates them with her looks.

Exactly. Insecure people in real life who loves to bully anyone who are better off than them specially women.

@Pedro: 🤣🤣🤣

This legit made someone rage-quit the forum.

It's a good point and true. Many people who complain about politics in games, agendas and what not, half the time have barely interest in the medium they are throwing a fit over than than "progressive thing". Accuse others of being snowflake doing the exact same shit on the other foot.

Many of them are practically robots themselves conditioned by "anti-SJW" types parroting what they hear without thinking from some outrage grifter, dribbling out agenda while complaining about agenda.

Seeing this right now with shit like High Republic. Hoards of dumbasses, whom willing to bet most of them don't even read Star Wars books at all, let alone picking up High Republic. The word "diversity" pops up on a board, and they are losing their shit.

No joke, literally that's the motivation for thousands of people to develop piles. A board with the word "Diversity".
