Isn't this the basis of Chinese theology?

Wrath the first time or second time? I found the rest of the game quite easy after the second wrath and it's almost over.

Sorry but the DC-Cinematic universe is not short-lived, only when compared to Marvel - which is quite the outlier in cinema history. That was probably more to do with it being Chinese inspired.

I haven't seen the "it was all a dream" drop in quite a while. I want to say it was over done in the 80s and 90s and fell into terrible disrepute. The closest thing to a non-ironic usage recently is probably inception. I don't mind it if the point of the dream leads to character development...

So misleading headlines again. Puddles are prime examples of "sophisticated" shader work requiring graphics power. So you know....

The dumbest accusation of ludo narrative dissonance was probably bioshock infinite. They were mostly likely describing aesthetic-ludo dissonance which was probably entirely intentional since the theme of the story was thin veneers of propaganda covering over awful truths.

Arguably we should call that ludo-character dissonance as opposed to ludo-narrative. Although at a certain point we have to say this is the central conceit of a third person shooter and accept it.

Not as I remember it, at the time the Pandarian lore consisted of basically "hidden in Kalimdor is a shy race of Pandas, they like beer". In fact when Pandaria was announced at Blizzcon Metzin was twisting himself into pretzels trying to explain their ethos. The most known appearance of the...

Yes but it was suppose to be a joke. It was the artist's calling card to insert pandas into his work, then they came up with a joke lore reason to explain why panda faces were appearing everywhere. The actual inclusion of pandaria was most likely to penetrate the Chinese market.
