I’ve been saying for a while now that Apple’s walled garden approach increasingly reduces the impact of any innovations they make. They can’t kill Zoom, because they don’t exist at all outside their walled garden while Zoom does. Apple chooses to limit their market, but this means that their affect on the market is…

And you have to remember why Zoom got big in the first place: it was the first videoconferencing app that wasn’t painful to use, and the first app that let you join someone else’s meeting without needing to even create an account.

Mal was almost completely useless in the first season. They portray him as though he’s a gritty badass, but he’s squishy. I like how at the end he’s like “They’ll have to go through me.” Dude, like, everyone has gone through you at this point. You’ve been dead or at the point of death nearly every episode. the Volcra…

The way I see it he’s essentially Dracula.

Summing up an entire generation's approach to planetary conservation in the saddest way possible.

Me since at least last gen: See a game that looks cool, put it on my wishlist, keep an eye out for reviews of the base game and dlc, once everything’s released buy the complete edition with all the dlc and fixes for a fraction of the original asking price.

To be clear, both Bravely Default and Bravely Second also solved the problem of random encounters by giving you access very early on to a fully adjustable encounter rate slider, you could reduce encounters to 50% or even remove them entirely to just explore at leisure. You could also double them if you wanted to grind!

God those character models are ugly as fuck. I'm not sure what it is exactly. The more realistic lighting just doesn't work with that art style I guess. They look like weird cheap dolls.

I guess it’s canon now; Luigi is officially the wurst Mario brother.

When Jimmy Fallon did the reunion bit and that joke came up her face was priceless.

It’s disappointing that Devs was neglected on this list. Interestingly, it touched on many of the same themes as Westworld Season III but in a more thoughtful, high brow, and compelling manner. Westworld decided to marinate it’s principle storyline with action and violence in a way that overwhelmed any of the depth…

The discussion about Iron Fist being played by an Asian actor is largely based on the fact that he was white in the first place because the character was created in an era where all characters were white by default, and lots of depictions of non-white characters were baldly racist. This is coupled with the fact that…

First, 42gb a month? Is that supposed to be an impressive number? Thats not even half of a modern game download. My steam account probably sucks up that much every week updating the hundreds of games i have installed. 4k HD video streams burn 7.2GB per *hour*.

No. There really should be a law against advertising displays with “simulated” images.

I compare it to only watching the mythology episodes of the X-Files. Initially, those were the most exciting episodes of the show, and were what got everyone talking. But by the middle of season six, the conspiracy plot completely fell apart and nothing made any sense.

Kind of how I feel about Battlestar Galactica.  The beginning was so promising, then the ending really tainted the whole thing. 

Apple is not impacted by a 30% commission that everyone else in the App store is impacted by. Kind of a big deal, when Apple forces so much stuff to only offer in-App payment via Apple and does not allow any way to inform customers that you can pay via a website at a lower price. Apple has fixed a market with hundreds…

alpha horror fans are the biggest losers. the only two reactions are ‘that’s not horror’ or ‘that didn’t scare me’.

When someone has proven their film-making bona fides as thoroughly as Scorcese, or Tarantino, or Jarmusch, then their opinion is usually worth listening to, even when they’re talking about films outside their own wheelhouse, and even when that opinion is wildly at odds with one’s own.

The very thin line between”fear” and “tension” is why it’s often near impossible to differentiate a horror from a thriller. I have to say though, this is the first time I’ve ever heard Shutter Island brought into that debate, and for good reason.
