I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • Short answer, yes it is a mess.

    Long answer is there have been two main structured and officially recognized and separate continuities (I’m leaving out oddballs like really early Marvel Star Wars comics since those were dead ends). Both main continuities recognize the original and prequel trilogies, however the first one, the original EU was essentially everything from the first Thrawn book in 1991 all the way to the material put out in 2014. Some of this old material is still being republished by Disney, but it is under the “Legends” banner to make it clear that it is not part of current canon.

    The second continuity is the Disney reset which happened in 2014. As said above it recognizes the original and prequel trilogies. It also recognizes The Clone Wars and Rebels CGI cartoons. Everything else up to that point was thrown out the window and Disney essentially started over. A number of characters, races, events, and other material that was originally in the EU has been adapted back into the Disney continuity, but it has been remixed and reworked- this means you can’t make definitive inferences that just because one thing from the EU is re-canonized, that other unseen elements also are. All of the live action shows like Mandalorian, Andor, Ashoka and all the Disney made side movies like Solo and Rogue One all exist inside the Disney continuity.

    I am trying not to make it a contest, but comics like this make it very difficult to hold back. I don’t think people should eat spicy food beyond their comfort zone as some kind of show of toughness. This comic seems to be revealing in being tough for eating seconds of Sriracha though. People who have this Hot Sauce Bro mentality tend to be lightweights with inflated egos.













  • I did a written review of it a while ago, and my conclusion was that a lot of the gameplay was serviceable but not particularly standout, which made it feel a bit bland. There were a number of small things that piled up, with one example being that any time you told a companion to special attack you had to sit through a short cutscene. It had great writing and characters, which makes it the first game I’d reccomend in spite of the so so gameplay, because I thought the character and world stuff was so strong.

    While I didn’t have expectations, I think the marketing also greatly mislead other people. The game is structured like a classic BioWare RPG, rather than a modern Fallout game. I also found the marketing connection with Fallout New Vegas to be misleading because there was no connection of actual lead development staff with those games, but instead it was with Fallout 1 and 2. If you know that, and are familiar with the writing and design habits you can feel that difference. Some people may have felt it and been confused or disappointed that it didn’t have the New Vegas vibe.
