Good question and perhaps I spoke too soon. I’ve seen more reviews since putting up this comment. The legitimate ones that aren’t obviously angry men with a gear to grid about wokeism are generally quite positive. I see very few (if any, damning reviews). That’s a good sign to me. Even for those that found it less…

I love Class 1b too. Would love a 1b mini series or at the very least see them get some more play in the second act of the current war (maybe a heartfelt save of our of the main characters? I haven’t read the manga).

I’m with LexW. I thought the Swordsmith Village arc for Demon Slayer was good/very good, but not great. A little let down by the climax.

Having watched half of the anime on the list, My Hero Academia Season 6 is better than all of them (that I’ve watched).

Cannot wait to play this after I finish Spiderman 2. Just the look brings me back to my golden age of gaming with Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG (which also is getting rave impressions right now).

Actually kind of excited for the Marvels. The initial reviews are very good and most seem to be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the movie (a blessing in an inconsistent MCU Phase 5).

Thank you for typing out what I was gonna say. I will add though that I’m usually against the 2D to 3D conversion, but this is how you do it!

I may be missing something, but couldn’t an “inherently male and gay” race just use women for propagation?

I mean, probably the smart move.

Not everyone played Miles Morales. With the larger influx of players onto this title, it’s worth mentioning again.

It’s New York. It’ll take a lot more than Spiderman riding public transit to get people excited.

The context is all around the word. I don’t think you need him to explain exactly what “woke” is. To lump this guy in with actual ignorant and self-centered MAGA groupies (of which there are so so many online) is a disservice to progressives everywhere and another reason why we’re so splintered on the left. Some of us…

I don’t know. I’m as critical and dismissive of MAGA as anyone else, but at least he supported his argument well:

Seriously, just turn some of that marketing spend into supporting green tech to diversify your portfolio and provide yourself somewhat legitimate cover against critics instead of incredibly lame attempts to make gas cool.

Thanks for the perspective!

Appreciate the review and insights!

Thank you for the in-depth impressions!

Reading one of the linked articles actually piqued my interest in Daemon x Machina. Anyone play it and have thoughts they’d like to share?

Shiiiitttt, a remastered Gargoyles game?? Sign me up!

Related to the Trump case but unrelated to the laptop, I am looking forward to the hammer getting dropped from the atmosphere on Trump in this civil case which will hinder his ability to fight current and impending civil and criminal cases against him.
