See my question is why didn’t Maeve just freeze Dolores when she realized she was a host. Did Dolores make herself immune to Maeve’s powers (or was that established last season and I forgot?).

I think the point was the fact that you feel obligated to voice this take in a forum that is obviously populated by people who enjoy this show says more about you. If you think the show is awful, why are you watching it? Why do you feel the need to performatively demonstrate how you are not a “straight” and you feel…

Right I don’t thing OP meant it was the same sort of event, just the “woah suddenly everything is different”-ness.

And..this was campy as hell. I’m not sure what angle you’re arguing here.

Exactly. And on top of all that personal pressure, there had to be a part of her that realized that if it did end up being mediocre or bad, some part of the story would be “I guess women can’t direct big action movies” (which is, to be clear, some bullshit, but whenever you’re the first woman/minority to do a thing,…

You think people said “oh she passed on Thor - she’s our director”? That doesn’t really make any sense. I don’t know if her passing on Thor has any impact on getting Wonder Woman at all, but I do know that if you’re suddenly offered the most visible and (I assume) highest paying gig in your whole career with no…

That is incredibly gutsy, passing on a major picture like that knowing that its possible you might not get another chance. Turned out to be the right decision fortunately for all of us.

Seconded. Onitama is great.

What point? That you think that you can somehow macho your way through a pandemic? 

Check out boardgamearena.com and yucata.de. They both have online implementations of a bunch of games. Yucata is totally free and Board Game Arena has a bunch of free titles and also a subscription for “premium” games (which is all of $24/year).

Lol wow. No. Whatever you think of Biden’s mental competence, when you elect a president you’re really electing a team. And Biden’s team fundamentally believes in appointing qualified, experienced people into positions of power, not just people who will remain blindly loyal no matter what. I don’t know what kind of…

I really liked what I saw of it. I’m trying to get my son interested (he bounced off it a bit - he’s 7), but I might just suck it up and have my 46-year-old self watch it on my own. Stuck inside for a while now anyway...

This! Like I don’t know if we’ll get a Watchmen Season 2, but I’m so glad that the plan was evidently to make it a single self-contained thing. Honestly in my ideal world, we’d get the creator’s names featured more prominently so it’s easier to follow *them* rather than an IP that might be getting stretch past its…

A competent, smart, and experienced public servant. My god what a horror show.

I pretty strongly disagree with the assertion that Trump is “coherent”. It’s just that the majority of his party doesn’t really seem to care...

Being super qualified (which she certainly was) isn’t the same thing as being a good candidate. Admittedly, many of the reasons she wasn’t a good candidate were partly or entirely out of her control: being subject to 20 years of GOP campaigning against her and Bill Clinton, being the target of an absurd congressional…

The only way these games are going to catch on? Wingspan is the most popular hobby game released in the last year or two. This article kind of does it an injustice by framing it as a game to increase environmental awareness - it’s not really that. It’s a good game that has a theme of bird collection and includes some…

I do hope you took the time to record yourself saying “Hello Batman!”

Heh. I like that. It is a reprint/update of an 80s Parker Brothers game, so I’d be somewhat surprised if that was on the original designers mind, but it certainly “works”.

Wingspan is great, and the art and details on the cards are fantastic, but I don’t really feel like the gameplay really is evocative of, well, much of anything. It’s an engine building/action-efficiency game, which probably sounds like a dismissal, but I *love* those kinds of games (and based on the popularity of…
