I keep seeing men writing about how shocked they were Barbie was a hit and I’m just like “yep that checks out.”

These character sheets are all for level 1, so if you wanted to represent anything else you’ve done with the characters, you’d still need to go into the game and manually copy stuff out.

I believe the dice skin unlock is for use on D&D Beyond. I think the only way to get it in game is to have the collector’s edition (or pay for it on ebay).

That’s kind of my thought. If a show did just well enough to get renewed and then hadn’t even started production before the strike, is it worthwhile to keep everyone involved tied to that contract for an indefinite period of time? If season 2 of The Peripheral isn’t going to start filming until 2025 or something, is…

Another right wing lie! 👍

That’s what bugs me about the AI stans - a lot of them are spruiking it as “just tools, like a paintbrush or a typewriter!”, but come the fuck on, they’re not using it like that. They’re using it as a shortcut and compensation for lack of talent and skill.

Going off of the article, it would come down to how much of a work is AI generated vs. how much human manipulation was required.

This may be what kills AI in the coming year or couple of years. People will make AI artwork but can’t make any money off of it.

She’s far too old for the role, certainly doesn’t have the chops for it (her best performance by a mile is in Haywire, where another actress was brought in to re-record her dialogue), and it’s disrespectful because Abby spends a lot of time with a trans character and Carano has made transphobic jokes (which she…

If it weren’t for my horse I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.

Here you go, it’s a little more than 12 minutes and gets you 100% caught up. My wife watched it (has never watched ANY animated content) and feels ready to watch the new live action.

The series is going to be great and this article’s notion that you need to watch 100 episodes of content to enjoy the new content is…

For those who argue that they can’t be bothered watching the entirety of Clone Wars and Rebels to get up to speed on Ahsoka, if you go to the Star Wars portal on Disney+, there’s an “essential Ahsoka Tano episodes” playlist currently featured that pulls the most-relevant content from those series together for you.

It’s not surprising. It’s the last week before all the kids go back to school. My guess is that if they had some afternoon showings, there was probably a ton of day-camp traffic.

How about fucking no?

Casting her in the role of Abby would be incredibly disrespectful to the character of Lev, Ellie, Dina and fans of these characters.

I was planning on watching this show, but now after reading this review I think I’ll skip it. I really have no interest in watching 6 seasons of animation to “understand” a character.

The appearance of Ahsoka hasn’t helped matters—Dawson’s portrayal feels so stark compared to Ahsoka’s voice actor Ashley Eckstein, to the point that they’re basically two separate people

Kids and adults are hardly ever the same. I can reconcile animated and live action Ashoka because the former was young and full of kid energy while the latter is her grown up; there wasn’t much animated grown up Ashoka for us to get used to. What’s harder for me to reconcile is animated and live action Clone Wars…

I’m thinking less action movies, and more adventure-comedy for kids. Think Jumanji, Small Soldiers, Inspector Gadget (but not shit like the last one). All those movies were kids or a family get saddled with something weird going on and then they have to solve the hijinks with the help of funny adults. The trailers…

I think the problem with expecting people to get through Clone Wars is that a) it skews younger than the all-ages feel the franchise typically goes for and b) the level of quality is very spotty, especially early on. There’s a reason those “essential episodes” guides are so popular.

The trailer did give me a 90s movie vibe, namely of “young characters gets superpower/superpet/etc from mysterious source, family hijinks ensue”, but for the life of me I can't tell you which specific movies I'm reminded off. There is just a familiarity to it I can't fully pinpoint.
