My go-to response is now what this guy says:

What a melancholy ending, with the butterfly (maybe Goff?) landing next to Peacemaker, and him silently doling out the last of his supply of the nectar, and it lapping it up, both knowing full well that it and the rest of its kind will very soon starve to death. The futility of the exercise not changing the fact that i…

Came here to say this if you hadn’t beaten me to it

Last time we did a rewatch I remarked on how incredible he is in the D&D episode. He might have been a total dick to work with, and probably phoned it in with Pierce more often than not, but when he showed up, man did he show up.

Exactly this. For all of the dumpster fire that Season 1 was, Season 2, while far from perfect, had the rare quality of leaving me wanting more, which is more than I can say for the final seasons of the other Defenders shows.

I’ve got a lot of anxiety over Kim’s fate, but even more over Nacho’s. I know it’s not the job of the show to give us an uplifting ending or anything like that, but I couldn’t think of anything more gracious than for that kid to somehow make it out of this alive, pull a Jesse Pinkman and disappear to Alaska or…

Now if only they’d make Chrono Trigger (as well as any Square game, for that matter) available in their SNES emulator... >:-(

Looks like it was launched in October? This might set a new record going from low-effort indie game to sleeper hit to million-dollar buy-out.

I don’t need to dogpile on the particular idiocy behind this degenerate notion of NFTs somehow magically creating a secondary market where game assets exist outside of the games they’re created for (an idea which isn’t even predicated on blockchain, but whatever), but I wanted to call out this particular line:

Blockchain brings nothing to this. It’s imagining a situation where a bunch of centralized services (PSN, XBL, etc.) have all agreed to accept a uniform ID service that federates to their own internal ID. If this imaginary situation were to come to pass, what it requires is a platform that all parties agree to adopt.…

Only thing I need to know: is this more gacha/lootbox crap?

So this must be what it feels like to be a Harry Potter fan...

> There may potentially be some, someone has mentioned using them for authenticating documents which sounds at least vaguely credible.

Even if I were to go hunting for all my old cartridges... I can’t imagine the battery-backed SRAM on any of them would still be any good. (Sure, there are lots of games that don’t use save-RAM or use a password system or something like that, but I was heavy into the RPGs like the FF Legend/SaGa series.)

Nothing like predatory game mechanics to bring us all together, if that isn’t the definition of “wholesome” I don’t know what is

Webster’s also defines a contract as an agreement under the law which is unbreakable.

What is with the Hari Seldon of this universe. He has access to technology that is so nigh-magical that none of the Foundationers understand it and even think it might be alien in origin (and the old generation emigrated from Trantor, the capital of the galaxy, and had scientists and engineers!). He was able to fake…

I’m about the biggest Fraggle fan I know, and I’ve got high hopes for this. I thought the shorts they did were kind of... weird, and meandering. It was strange that they repurposed songs from the original (but also chose ones that needed updating to not have awkward/problematic lyrics). The Fraggles have such strong…

It definitely leans heavily on “inspired by”. I might be in the relatively small camp that doesn’t hate it as an adaptation. The source material is just so dry and vignette-like and difficult to bring to screen with true faithfulness. I would say the show is “selectively faithful” to the big ideas of the novel(s) compl…
