I think your disclaimer probably captures the situation.  No way all was sunshine and roses one second and then the partnership was permanently (?) terminated the next over one ill-conceived comment.

Jack’s reaction here is really disappointing. Even if he disagreed with the comment and thought it was in bad taste, throwing your friend and creative partner for decades under the bus to this extent is a big shame.

I assume it’s typical Kinja formatting fuckery rather than something intentional.

It’s almost like they have more than one writer working for them! Maybe this one missed the weekly consensus meeting.

“Stop Making Sense” is so good that I can’t even listen to the relatively lifeless studio version of “Burning Down the House” anymore. And I usually prefer studio album versions.

This list really seems to be: Here’s a movie set in this state, but down below we list a number of movies which are obviously and clearly better than the first movie we mentioned.

I didn’t expect Legion to count in this ranking, but now since Lenny/The Shadow King is in here, she/he/it is way way way too low (1st season version anyway).

All platforms that the game currently exists on. 

You’re absolutely right. Viewing one person as a person immediately diminishes all other injustices in the world. Truly, justice and goodness are part of a zero sum game.

*sigh* Now I have the millionth reason I wish Bowie was still around. He’d have something witty to say, I’m sure. After all he shot the cover of The Man Who Sold the World, nearly 50 years ago.

Have some non-idol music from Korea. Even if you don’t like the track I picked out for you Naver’s On Stage channel is good to follow for the wide variety of music it presents.

I always kinda thought that the best thing about the Sam and Diane relationship was that the show made really clear that while they were attracted to each other they were a couple that DID NOT WORK. And the show screamed that in capital letters. That was how it kept the show going even after they decided to be a…

You get it with Hulu. It’s a dumb branding thing.

The term graphic novel has never really been defined well. For most it means longer form comic book stories or compilations of an arc of stories that were originally printed over several issues.  But it also gets used to just refer to a comic book without calling it a comic book.  Especially for series that are not…

In addition to the transphobia, you’d think a 54 year old would be acutely aware that not all cis-women menstruate. 

They did actually show the different versions of the branched off simulations very briefly during the conversation between Forest and Lily in the field at the end. Did you notice how several times during Forest’s speech the lighting abruptly changed to a very dark / orangish color? I took that as Devs showing the…

I love the reveal of Devs true name, so Alex Garland has made “Deus” and “Ex Machina”

I don’t think RPGs have been affected since they’re less dependent on their physical components. I’ve played a few over teleconferencing since this all started. I’d be curious to see some number from places like Druve Thru RPG to see how they’re selling.

Do you have a Target? Their board game selection has been evolving over the last year to offer a decent range of games. And they often have sales. They just had “Buy 2 get 1” on board games and video games.

It’s dumb to single out two individuals for participating ethically within the constraints of an unethical system that has no realistic chance of being dismantled anytime soon.
