The irony with these chuds is they always seem to invoke Christianity and Jesus as the basis for their “family values”, and they get it completely wrong.

“There’s too much division” says the guy who wants to restrict the definition of “family.”

I find it odd how this surprises people.

The fact that nobody got preview copies or codes of this game is a giant red flag

Sounds like a convenient smokescreen to distract from the fact that Foamstars was recently exposed for using AI art.

I was thinking about this too, I’ve been in Japan the last 2 weeks and in Yodobashi Camera the gamepass logo was everywhere....in the laptop section.

I think another reason for this is that like a lot of people across the world there’s a large PC market, which cuts into the Xbox market. Why buy another console when everything available for it is available for PC if you already own one. The PS5 does not have this issue. It’s one of the reason why Microsoft poured so…

so much bs going on around people being cancelled over Gaza.

Wakanda is canonically at the head of a Pan African solidarity movement in the comics, so this is why Miles, who is of at least 50% African descent (and probably more depending on which version of Miles’ Puerto Rican mom they go with here).

That’s like saying Miles shouldn’t be able to wear a dashiki because he’s not from Africa. As for the mixed race and not Wakandan argument, society sees mixed race Black folks as Black. Afro-Cubans? Black. Afro-Puerto Ricans? Black. My son will be seen as Black first and foremost, even though my wife is Mexican.

Miles is, however, zero percent colonizer. Unlike Peter.

How confused do you have to get to be shocked there’s game coverage on a gaming blog..?

I was getting more of a Data from Goonies vibe. Repairing a space suit helmet with duct tape seems like a thing he would do when older.

“Have you noticed how slow they talk? And so much whispering!”

(Verse 1)

I do so love how Ben gets Jadzia out of there IMMEDIATELY like she would be unable to jump Spock’s bones...

Yeah, Jadzia knew what was up.

Kamala the comics character was a fan of all the superheroes, had an early adventure with Wolverine and did Champions with teen Cyclops. So Iman the superfan gets to write Kamala the superfan getting to join the X-Men. I’ve got high hopes. The mutants could use a bit of embiggened sunshine right now.

Really happy for her. One of the most delightful things about the comic - and later, the show - was how it captured the teen experience (and very much the teen to immigrant parents in Jersey experience) without resorting to the old well-worn clichés. If Vellani can bring her real lived experience to that, and merge it…
