But they’re getting a new actress to fill in the role, right? Why do they need to stop selling the merchandise at all? Just make sure the new actress looks vaguely like the old one- unless it has a picture of her *actual* face on it, it’s good to go. (especially in the case of that fugly action figure up there... I…

Not that I’m complaining about Apple being sticklers on privacy, but it feels kind of messed up for Apple to be purposefully circumventing their part of the bargain when using Google’s database... can you imagine if Apple Maps was just a quick redirect to Google Maps that anonymized user data?

All I’m saying is, don’t…

I’m really bummed they biffed it with the art direction this time around. With the original, it really felt like they were trying to bring a storybook to life, making everything very illustrative and true to the style of the concept art from Akihiko Yoshida... but this just looks plastic/chibi and loses a lot of the…

Oh man, so much good quality of life improvements from Bravely Defauly that felt like a “Well yeah, duh!” moment... being able to turn down or off random encounters was one, but also being able to put the battle animations on super fast forward so grinding becomes so much less painful. How did it take so long for…

I remember the first time I tried Ketamine- a friend who was a vet tech had cooked up some recently expired ketamine and brought it to a club. It was an intense experience- like being incredibly wasted suddenly (a lot of people will barf their first time on K, because they mistake the spins they feel for being drunk).…

No joke, “Sail Away” gave me nightmares as a kid... this would definitely not work for me.

eh. The entire Republican ethos these days is built around being reactionary to anything the left is angered by; They literally base their entire world view on “owning the libs”, so this sort of backlash is to be expected... but it won’t last long. I guarantee you the backlash sales boost he received won’t make up for…

Lifehack: Get a pair of nice earbuds (without stalks, thats important for this next part) and then for airplane rides, get a cheapo $15 pair of shooting earmuffs... they look just like over-ear headphones, they cancel noise better, and they’re a fraction of the price. Over-ear headphones are for suckers.

The timing is not coincidental- they released it right now to try and get the movie in front of eyeballs again right before award season (which they deserve!) hence the “for your consideration” right at the end.

I’m probably an anomaly around here, but I’ve only seen the movie (I know, I know, I don’t have ‘not owning the DVDs’ as an excuse anymore) and I can tell you it absolutely stands up on it’s own- Whedon did a fantastic job getting newbies like myself up to speed without relying on too much clunky exposition; the…

Oh. I thought she became a stripper (sorry– ‘showgirl’) in Vegas?

I was disappointed to not see Devs on this list, on either side (yeah, seems like forever ago, doesn’t it?) It’s certainly polarizing enough to fit in either, depending on who’s writing it... but I really loved its exploration of determinism, free will, and the dangers of what advanced quantum computing could mean for…

The first 3 or so episodes of Westworld season 3 were really promising, especially Dolores going full Terminator after rich boy’s goons try to have her killed... but then it just kind of sputtered out, that ending especially- Normally watching the main character sacrifice themselves to save everyone would have…

Yikes. That would look janky as all hell on the back of my LG OLED, since it would have to lift off the tv in places... yeah, no thanks.

When the pandemic hit, I really wanted to get a Ringfit Adventure game for the Switch so I could work out in my apartment... but then the price ballooned to $450 on Amazon from 3rd party sellers (scalpers) and it was sold out everywhere else. Seeing how Amazon encourages scalpers on their platform (same thing with all …

The trope I really want to see go away in fantasy (but really fiction as a whole) is the “I am your father” trope. It happens so, so much, and it makes me roll my eyes every time it’s used; I know authors think it creates an interesting dynamic, but to me it’s wildly improbable, cliche, and does the world building a…

I realize that you’re just insanely naive and only looking at the Google products that have endured, but trust... there is literally a graveyard filled with Google products that were swiftly killed.

(Angrily looks over at abandoned Google Daydream VR headset)

LOL so I’m an in-house graphic designer that fucking hates turning my camera on in meetings, I avoid using Teams because most of it is inter-office bullshit chatter, and I hardly ever use Office 365 besides Outlook (although most of my workload has been moved off email into zendesk for complete transparency, so even…

I’m still so bummed Square biffed it with the design of Bravely Default II by not embracing and emulating the beautiful illustrative designs of Akihiko Yoshida in the same way Ni No kuni and Dragon Ball FighterZ did for their prospective artists... Instead, we get bland, plastic looking character designs and a generic…

Correct me if I’m wrong when it comes to current projector technology, but in that first photo wouldn’t the picture be skewed/stretched because they have the projector pointing at the wall at an angle?
