I think this episode made it pretty clear that Howard’s “Jimmy wanted to get caught” theory is true, but only in that Howard figuring out Jimmy is behind these assaults on his character is somehow integral to he and Kim’s plan. There’s an added dimension to their plan that the audience has been kept in the dark on,…

I don’t think the sorcery scaling stat stacks, but the flat buffs to specific schools of magic do. For example, if you’re casting gravity sorceries using Carian Regal or Lusat’s, but hold the Meteorite Staff in your off hand, you still get the flat 30% boost to gravity sorceries. If you dual wield two Meteorite Staffs…

Barry has never been seen driving the same car for very long, and this wouldn’t be the first car he’s ditched after getting in an incriminating accident—he ditched a station wagon after Esther and the Burmese mafia shot it up last season.

Yeah, I don’t know if I think it’s fair to call Alvarez a deus ex machina. It’s not an unreasonable plot device to assume that Eladio’s cartel has plenty of enemies we haven’t learned about. In BB and BCS, the only cartel conflicts in the story are internal (or with law enforcement, or with Walter White), but…

Am I the only one who thinks that quit outs should either be banned from speedrunning or at the very least be added to the run timer? As it stands, none of these speedrun times achieved using quit outs are even legit or real. The actual time it takes them to finish the game is always longer, oftentimes by minutes, but…

None of the decisions you make in WoW will change how the big bad of the expansion meets his end. The overarching plot is beyond your ability to change, which makes sense, because even with the branching story choices WoW started experimenting with in later expansions, the outcome of the story ultimately has to be the…

I just started playing Cyberpunk when the PS5 version dropped, and the thing is: you make substantive decisions in the plots of these quests all the time. Do the job you’ve been paid to do and kill a convicted murderer, or get into his van and get sucked into a bizarre multi-quest plotline about faith and the…

The Lissons tipped off the reporter with a fake story about Amy Leigh Gemstone to give Eli a motive, then murdered the reporter to frame Eli. However, Jesse contaminated the crime scene, and they saw him driving away with the Tesla door open. For the Lissons, the whole point of getting rid of Eli is installing Jesse,…

This detail, or lack thereof, is so strange because it easily could’ve been written around. Say, spice needs to be processed in a lab before it can be used as a drug, and said processing is illegal, so criminal organizations in the spice trade need some backwater planet to build their spice labs on. Maybe even add a…

The operations of large corporations are often driven by people with a quarter-by-quarter mentality. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn that some asshole won a cost savings award for cutting Koei Tecmo’s data storage budget in 2011, and then no one even remembered who to blame when the Ninja Gaiden Collection team…

It’s kind of weird to get this worked up defending the honor of gamer chairs.

Yes, a multinational corporation worth $8B USD engaged in an intentional conspiracy to steal the rights to this mediocre drawing of a cactus. lol

It’s definitely silly nonsense, but my interpretation was that the face scan was analogous to how an ATM records images of its users so that security can refer to it if there’s an issue, rather than a biometric security system.

Did they even record new footage of Bokeem Woodbine for the reveal? It looked like it could’ve easily been B-roll footage from S2.

Why don’t people like you two just post “let people enjoy things”, like from the stupid meme, and move on? It perfectly encapsulates literally everything you have to say and helps everyone else efficiently skip over it.

The sad thing is that most of the people who are angry about this are presumably people around my age, who were already adults when Minecraft came out and therefore don’t hold it in the same reverence as many other people. Yet they all act like immature children whenever a new character is announced who isn’t on their…

Bye!

Ah yes, the old “American gamers are all generically attractive and extremely physically fit young men” stereotype.

I have a good, salaried job, as an engineer at a power plant equipment manufacturer. Sometimes, during major equipment tests, I need to put in extra work at strange hours. It’s not year round, and it’s not all that common. Maybe a few weeks a year. It’s fine.
