They have TV rights to The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and its Appendices. But not the Silmarillion or Lost Tales, Children of Hurin, Fall of Gondolin, etc., etc.

Yeah, my bad. For some reason I thought they did not have the rights to the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit (probably because I assumed that if they did that’s what they would’ve adapted). It’s still a weird slice of the pie but it really only becomes complicated due to the specific era in which their show takes place.
Due to the complicated nature of what rights Amazon has in regards to Rings of Power, I’m actually fairly sure they don’t have the rights to Sam’s daughter. I don’t say this to refute your comment; I just say this to call out how bizarrely narrow Amazon’s rights are for this show.
I don’t want to be that guy but you refer to Gary multiple times as his son when he is in fact his grandson. Just an FYI, not trying to dispute anyone’s nerd knowledge here.
Gary is Professor Oak’s grandson — but I get what you mean.
Funny but honestly bad take from ICE T. He becomes ICE L on that one.
to some people visual design matters and that is not invalid
I mean, the original font was a poor choice of font AND it was poorly sized. They only fixed half the problem and I would argue it was the less important half.
They’re a studio run by people who specifically left bigger studios because of how they ran their business. It kinda fits.
Me, thinking of any platform that wants to shove Steam in my face
Boy if Captain Lou is "Your Mario" I've got bad news about the unstoppable forward progress of time that inevitably claims us all.
Why would he lay low when he’s doing the press circuit for the Mario movie?
Similar discussion around Yoshinori Ono and Street Fighter. There’s no disputing his contributions to fighting games and Street Fighter 4 really brought about the fighting game renaissance in 2009, but Street Fighter 5 was a bit of a speed bump. Sometimes you just need new ideas and new blood.
People aren’t trying to stop or “luddite” the “AI revolution”. They’re trying to ensure it is properly regulated so that the harms it can also cause are mitigated. To pretend AI has no potential harm on society is incredibly ignorant.
The AI revolution is not at all comparable to the industrial revolution which simply…
Hey, how do you confuse an AI?
My take is that this performance is aimed directly at players in good standings. If someone is cheating, there’s a chance that one of your decent players noted the name or even reported it. Such a list would potentially provide proof to nominal players that Battlestate is actively fighting against cheaters, and…
Yeah, they’ll just choose a different online name. 6 millimeter hurdle jumped!
Counterpoint: “cultural context” is not why I Google a recipe. The recipe is the destination. I love The Takeout and Skillet not because of recipes - I can’t even recall reading one on here - but because of the quality of your writing. If I’m looking for a recipe I just want the bloody recipe and no shenanigans.
I’ve always been told it’s for presentation. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine. Why should I have to get my hands dirty to pull off the tails before I dig into my plate of deliciousness?
