Glad to hear indeed. The closer you get, the better.

They were a big presence in the early games like the Han Solo trilogy. They aren't interesting. Think a police force. It just isn't the same as stormtroopers and made those books even more dull.

Wait, I thought we established that Star Wars porn was canon. If there is anything that is canon, it is Boba Fett raping Mon Mothma while a group of Jawas jerk off around her. That of course symbolized her plight to the rebellion and thus is highly important to the Star Wars universe. Removing this would be a violation of everything. You can take our Thrawns, our Mara Jades, but you can't take our anal Dewback on Ronto porn or the Jabba the Hutt sex tapes. That is just crossing a line from which we cannot ever recover. Star Whores is as much a part of the original trilogy as the Holiday Special and Spaceballs, it taught us that a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there were plenty of aliens willing to give head to other aliens or even robots. It taught us the inner demons plaguing Vader as he kept trying to have sex with his daughter (he often ensured the stormtroopers were shorter than him, an ego problem, and one made worse by the fact that his balls were burned off), which led to his eventual defeat in Return of the Jedi when he realized his situation. It taught us that R2-D2 not only is great at saving lives, but at having tiny sex toys in various compartments, including a tiny buzz saw for masochists. But most of all, it taught us the context in which grandpa wookie can get porn for Christmas and relieve himself in front of his family in the midst of a christmas special for kids. I sure couldn't understand the context if Star Wars wasn't made up of a lot of sex-addicted beings, so therefore it has to be canon.

Actually, most things would work fine in 4k. I use 1440p, which is essentially 2k, so the same aspect ratio wouldn't suffer any issues. Ultrawides on the other hand might be a bit of a problem. You have to remember, even back in the 90s Carmack would write on a widescreen monitor, and most things have relatively good stretching. The biggest issue with 4k at the moment just is the demand, it is so demanding that it is almost not worth the higher size until more powerful graphics cards exist.

120 FPS? All old games would have really great FPS by this point... unless you mean refresh rates. Yeah, I never really understood the craze for higher refresh rates. I have a 144HZ monitor, maybe it is just the fact that most games I play limit it to 30 or so, but I never found the refresh rate to be that big of a deal. I could game on a weaker refresh rate without issues. Even resolution is a bit of a meme, at some point you are just getting smaller HUDs for no real gain (this is coming from someone who records at 60 FPS, the best Youtube can offer, and does it at a native 1440p, making it better than most other Let's Play channels; recording at lower resolutions looks blurry on higher resolution monitors, so it is good to make it as clear as possible). The monitors I have are great monitors, both PG278Qs which are not pushovers, the wider resolution means more screen space for programs outside of games, but I just feel they are a factor added just to make it sound better than it was before. I prefer other features like the instantaneous nature of powering on the button, the nice control scheme, and the adjustable stand more.

I am one that highly prefers that tension. Shooting something is fine, but I highly prefer sneaking around. It makes the world all the more immersive when you stop kicking doors and start looking at the windows. Then you kick the window, trip, fall off the balcony, cause the alarms to go off, and have to handle the ensuing mayhem. Thief is a great game not only for the fact that it is awesome when trying to strive for perfection or challenges, but also because it can become quite intriguing when situations become shaky. This is one reason I never really got into certain styles, such as restarting immediately when detected, as I prefer to try to deal with the consequences in these hour long levels. Thief is a rough gauntlet if you don't save, like I prefer to not do, and thus it gets quite fun. I even have a style a bit of my own, with my own rules, which I eventually need to refine fully and make some videos doing.

SOAD has always been one of those bands that doesn't just make stuff I dislike, it makes highly annoying songs I cannot stand in any way. They are possibly the second worst band in heavy music. The worst? Amaranthe. They beat Lady Gaga in Japan. That shouldn't be a good sign. How is this possible? Well, the singer is a pop diva to begin with, leading to something highly whiny and autotuned. Then we take a guy with dreadlocks who looks like he should be in some rapcore band and yet is singing in autotune as well, apparently some take on power metal, which I always considered the weakest genre of actual metal since it mostly focuses on speed at the lack of substance. Take all this horrible pop stuff, mix it with a horrible metal genre, then take both of those and add a guy who loves screaming metalcore. Did I mention metalcore is garbage as well and that he sounds as generic as possible, complete with breakdowns? Most bands have some redemption, this has nothing but abysmal sounds juxtaposed next to each other in a way that doesn't even create something interesting. Take 3 genres that are completely terrible, put them together in a horrible way, and you get this. It is literally 3x the normal level of garbage. The lesson here is that things can always get worse.
