I don’t know why a technology site is slandering video game controllers alongside the rest of the media. I can make Link move one step at a time by shifting the control stick less than a millimeter, and I’d trust the proven tech more than some custom control yoke ginned up and purpose-built. If they had used a…

There’s an old meme that says, “Because Speed Force, that’s why” to say that it’s a blanket explanation for everything that doesn’t make sense around The Flash. Because nothing makes sense.

Check the other Star Wars story on the iO9 frontpage. There’s a new, post-Sequel movie coming someday, though it got delayed.

I tried playing Star Wars RPG with someone once and I specifically told them we’re doing a no-Force PC campaign. They quit because that wasn’t their power fantasy. The SW universe is rich with stories that have nothing to do with Jedi and light sabers, but some people just have to have their space wizards.

I’m in Northern California and I’ve experienced 400. It sucks so bad. I could look down my street and see the air moving for all the stuff in the air. I bet you don’t have a good air filter available to purchase, but instead buy 5 furnace filters and make a cube, then attach a box fan to the last side, exhausting…

Add to it that a solid half of the trans people I know have that haircut. Not a giant sample size but hey.

Having worked in the paint department of a home improvement store, I’m curious about what kind of paint is used on movie sets that it couldn’t just be mixed in batches to make the right color.

I saw it last night and I feel like I’m going to have to go through it like the Zapruder film to really get all of the references. 

I have no idea how release dates work these days because it is definitely not June 2 today, and yet I have two tickets for 7 PM tonight. No problem for me I’m pumped.

I’ve given FreeVee a ton of traffic lately - I was looking for Murder She Wrote out of curiosity and now I watch all sorts of old shows.

Hulu was going to be the one-stop location for all the broadcast networks’ shows. I had visions of an internet library of TV with everything that ever was available to watch on demand. The way the last decade of internet entertainment ended up bums me out.

dndbeyond has NPC statblocks for everyone available to ‘claim’, which I assume means you need an account. As NPCs, they all have weird quirks that don’t fit PC character traits - Doric’s has text saying she can shape change 5/day, into a CR 3 creature OR an owlbear.

I did a quick google and found that most people have a lung capacity around 6 liters. I’m going to go ahead and doubt he has 33% more lung than most people.

20 years ago people like you were the type of person that would say at parties, “I don’t even own a television!” with the implication that they were superior and more cultured. I was bored by those people back then too.

I just used up the last of the canned chicken I bought that day. What a moment in time that was.

Every time I walk through Downtown Disney outside Disneyland there’s a huge line at the Starbucks, while there are plenty of other ways to get caffeine very close by and with no wait. It’s just a horrible strategic decision to opt for that specific coffee drink when you’ve paid for a day-long ticket. Plus, I’m going…

As someone with Type-II Diabeetus I’m tempted every time I see an Ozempic commercial to push my doctor to get me some. Improved diabetes and weight loss? Awesome! But the fact that it makes food unappetizing is a no-go. I fucking love eating! Sure, that’s kind of slowly killing me, but I love food!

Coming soon to... oh let’s go with Apple Plus, because Brolin probably wouldn’t work for the TV-tier streamers.

I have spent several minutes trying to make one of these out of Octopussy, but no success so far. I’ll keep you updated.

One time, I had a room filled with barrels containing high-proof mushroom hooch, you know, separated from my room filled with pre-packaged mushroom and monster meat casseroles. The dragon that I had caught in a trap and painstakingly ‘tamed’, which had immolated dozens of outside invaders in defense of our dorffort,…
