There’s plenty of things in VR worth developing, we’ve just shown that avatar based chat isn’t one of them. I’d rather have Johnny Mnemonic style VR, than a bunch of legless bodies, or people using furry avatars, spouting an entire room’s worth of babble at me - and I suspect at least for now that’s the opinion of the…

Early on you can’t get very far before you are out of gas. Eventually it doesn’t matter but it catches people off guard at the beginning, especially since the hud icons for fuel and nike status are piss poor I regards to visibility.

But we live in a society 🤡

“I went into the bathroom, looked into the mirror, and said “District Attorney” three times, but you didn’t appear! What more could I do?”

Alternatively, no message means *no subpoenable record* of the intended content of the call, which might, for example, be that the son of a well-connected citizen had been caught doing something stupid and the attorney’s office had better start paddling fast to get out in front of the story.

I mean, I understand the inclination for a studio (and for the director, who is actually the only person on earth for whom it’s truly appropriate to think of Ghostbusters as a “legacy saga” sort of thing) to lean into all this wonder and Spielbergian awe while choosing to basically steal the Force Awakens playbook and…

And you won’t find that evidence. No one is sending texts or making calls in real time to stuff this under the rug. The cops saw the kid’s ID, figured out who daddy/mommy is and knew immediately to go into damage control mode, no direction needed.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it agin: “Cancel Culture” isn’t real. At best it’s right wing newspeak designed to frame the wealthy and powerful as the real victims and that they should not suffer for consequences for their actions. At worst it’s a grift already famous people pull to drum up attention for their…

One thing that really grinds my gears in films is the utterly sociopathic trope wherein the audience is supposed to care more about violence against animals than against humans.

I guess they went with Reptar to also avoid the issue of “you can punch babies” in this game, at least at first. Also, I don’t see an exciting moveset for him, to be honest.

Oh, Father/Son Kamehameha in a walk, for me. So much emotion tied up in that final exchange... though, DBZ Abridged has thoroughly ruined me for remembering the original versions of anything DBZ...

“And a Kame and a Hame and a send him home to mommy!” :D

I’m just like, really shocked that Dr Strange is totally happy to agree to all this, apparently doesn’t even bother explaining what’ll happen to Peter, and then apparently blames Peter for Dr Strange’s own meddling (which Dr Strange or “Steven” as I guess we’re calling him) was warned about by his own colleague.

Yeah, they can be just as hot in spandex or latex. Don’t even get me started on yoga pants...

The only difference is that Greek mythology has long fallen out of practice, so there are no devout worshippers to come along and make a fuss about Kratos smashing Zeus in the face.

“...there will also be some new drama between Daniel’s daughter (played by Mary Mouser) and her friend Tory at Cobra Kai (played by Peyton List)...”

As others have noted, I don’t think the timing works out for them to have been referring to Cosby being a rapist. There are some quotes in the article offering an alternative explanation for why it was called the “Cosby suite”

Honest like other streamers, huh? Like Dr. Disrespect (ha) or xQc or Pokimane or Ninja or Asmongold or any of a multitude of different popular streamers who are all playing an act? C’mon, ain’t nobody on there “being themselves”. The people who are popular are playing to their fans expectations at all times. It’s a…

As opposed to the original? Which might as well have been written by an ad agency?
