Attempting to establish an original, engrossing science-fiction world is no small task, even for the most adept of writers, and it’s painfully clear that Snyder took heavy aesthetic and stylistic notes from genre classics like Star Wars and Dune, without understanding the story and emotional beats that made those…

POW’s could be traded. And rescuing them could prevent them from going back into combat, depriving the other side of fighters.

Another thing nobody seems to understand: Money isn’t real. We made it up. Once upon a time it was tied to a real resource (gold, again, only valuable because we all agree it is, not because of its intrinsic utility), but now it’s not, it’s a “fiat currency” tied to the overall strength of the country issuing it.

Your head is really going to spin when you read about BogoMips:

Not to mention - the Google Play store is not the only game in town.  Their platform is open enough, there are other app stores they allow onto the devices (a distant second is the Amazon app store).

If you’re going to die on this hill, you better bring the receipts that Japanese-Americans are actually up in arms (or are at all aware) of the original Hachiko film.

So to use a community that, from a day to day standpoint, don’t even think about America, as the litmus test for whether or not America is doing them dirty by replacing Japanese actors with White actors is kind of a false equivalence.

I agree that tossing around accusations of “cultural appropriation” is something that’s gotten a bit out of hand.

Less discussed these days anyways. It was discussed a lot between 2000 - 2010, when there was digital music stores going out of business and taking all of your paid purchases with them.

I’ve seen Ticketmaster tack on more than 24%. I just paid 34% on tickets costing $60. It was a while back, but I would swear I’ve bought tickets where the extra fees were close to 50%.

I can see the appeal on both ends of the spectrum, but have mostly seen older folks driving them like others say.

I’ve long thought they basically invent the road in front of themselves while pretending it was always there.

They need to bring back GT Pro Series (originally on the Wii).

Only one code is issued per year per employee, I believe. So if they were selling it, they are only allowed to once a year.

Where does one get said studio tokens?

It’s like they only see players as walking wallets!

And much like Lost, the ending is going to absolutely devastate people. I cannot wait.

how Destiny fans try and mental shenanigans their way out of the proof that Destiny is basically the video game equivalent of Lost.

Sounds like Naperville.

Barrington, IL barely exists as a place anyways. More like a place you drive through to get other places. I must have driven through it thousands of times going between Elgin and Schaumburg, but only ever gone to something there once.
