Well, there are some changes to the book as far I can see from what’s described and none of it sounds like an improvement on the original material. If anything, the changes sound worse to a lot worse.

Watching it feels like watching on fast forward - you can see and tell the beats but you miss the character build and depth. Except, sadly, those are just absent. 

This show is easily the biggest disappointment of the year. I was looking forward to this and it is just..very poor. I have never seen a show this long that still really has zero character development. Harold is the only one that is not a sketch, and his portrayal is not exactly deep. His confrontation with the bandit…

As we see in this article trying to be analytical about the phenomenon leads right to accusations of siding with specific cases. Just seems like such a minefield even if you give the “correct” answer.

AV Club tells me “cancel culture” is not real; ContraPoints, a transwoman who routinely produces pieces far more insightful than anything I’ve seen at AV Club (outside of an occasional Teti or O’Neal piece, when they were things), describes the phenomenon and her experience of it, at length.

It’s also in an interview so someone was actually asking him a question, it’s not John Cleese offering a bad take no one asked for on Twitter.

With the caveat that I have not read Mr. Beans’ statement in full, I have to say the parts quoted in this article sound like really good points. And then this article sounds like a perfect example of what he is talking about. Maybe the author of this article meant it to be like a meta ironic commentary? Like what bean…

There's like a dozen cancel hashtags on Twitter at any given moment, but the AV Club still thinks "cancel culture" is a manufactured boogeyman of old white guys.

I’m pretty sure he read the room incredibly well.

Welcome to conservative conspiracy theories.

I don’t doubt that she had a lot of sexism and outright misogyny to overcome in making it in Hollywood as a woman, and I salute her for achieving things far beyond what I would likely have managed in the same circumstances, but this narrative would have felt a lot more satisfying after the first movie and before the…

“Charge when you get home!” many say. OK. So what if you live in an apartment with no charging infrastructure? Or have to park on the street? Or in a restrictive rental home that will not allow you to add the charger?

“Viable”

While EV’s are ready, our infrastructure is far from capable of handling the load. There are just not enough charging stations and charging is far too slow. Even if you change every gas pump in the nation and add a 3rd/4th hose for Electric charging - unless that charge to 80%+ takes <5 minutes, you are going to start…

It takes five to ten times longer to charge a car than to fill it. Where are all the charging stations going to go in cities? Most gas stations in urban areas already went away over the years to be replaced by stores and apartments etc. 

So what is their plan to build the electrical infrastructure to support all these EVs? This is just virtue signaling and we’ll all have a good laugh about it in 2035 (or well before).

On last gen consoles, no, current gen is ok. PC is working with little to no issue. Most of the issues on PC are like random physics bug on rare occasion. I’ve played well over 100 hours with almost no issues. Most of those issues were fixed by the current patch, or were caused by out of date Nvidia Drivers, which upda…

I would say it was worth playing, and that I plan at least one more playthrough once more patches are out. It took me 30 hours to get to the end of act 1, where you finally get the splash screen. That is how dense the world is. The thing is, that a lot of the side stories make the world far better than the main…

My rig is about 5 years old with a video card upgrade a couple of years back. Ran pretty well once I capped the fps at 30. Did not crash once; there were only a couple of times I had to reload my game because a quest glitched or a vehicle got stuck in the terrain - which is a hell of a lot more polished than a lot of…
