Hot take, but I feel like this is one of those bands whose live performance transcends anything they put to video.
I saw Billy Strings live, and it was almost a religious experience. The energy in that room was impossible to capture on film.
I imagine seeing Idles is a similar situation.
This reads more like a traditional “monkey’s paw” scenario though
The third act started on a punch to the gut that marred the playful fun the game had built up to that point.
Maybe it was because I had done Iki Island (director’s cut DLC) just before starting the third act, and it was pretty amazing. I think it hit the redemption notes of starting from scratch much better than the third act did.
Even moreso, it was also hard for me to buy the contempt against the ghost for going rogue. You’d think they would appreciate someone taking out entire armies by themselves.
I conspiratorially see these articles as propaganda to sway surveillance unidirectionally into governmental hands.
We can’t give people easy access to record police interactions, especially when they are upping methods of state violence like arming them with electronic shock gloves.
Better brand them as “pervert glasses” or try to associate them with pedophiles somehow so they get banned quickly.
