…but there’s a reason Amazon doesn’t call The Rings of Power an adaptation of The Silmarillion.

Have to wonder how much the ad revenue loss is down to Youtube’s increasingly byzantine monetization rules forcing creators to get their money through paid sponsorships and patreon.

My point was that that only really works with the superheroes who have innate super powers, of which there are only a small handful. Of the current ‘core’ Avengers that’s just Danvers, Spider-Man, Thor, and Hulk. Maybe Bucky, but there’s been some indication that Skrulls have greater than human strength and agility,…

Skrull Sam Wilson could still probably walk into the White House and put a bullet in the president. Or Skrull Rhodey for that matter. The risk isn’t that a Skrull impostor of an Avenger would have their powers or abilities (though with the memory mining tech they have they could fully copy somebody with learned…

I’m calling bullshit on that. There are 8 people credited for the main title sequence, and only two of them are visual artists. One animator, and the ‘concept by’ credit. Everyone else is a producer, director, technical director or department head.

The 4000 series also supports frame generation which provides a huge performance boost and can make even the most poorly optimized game (e.g. Jedi Survivor) run at a locked 60 FPS.

I think the production of Season 2 is fully cancelled. They’re shopping Season 1 to other streamers so they can squeeze some more money out of it.

I think this does set up a softening of the Federation’s ban on genetic modification. The impression I always had from ‘Doctor Bashir, I Presume’ was that the Federation ban on genetic enhancement was specifically for humans, not all species.

I love that this has pretty much been:

It’s very odd that people keep saying that this and Bumblebee are trying to maintain continuity with the Bay films when the last Bay-directed Transformers movie established that, in defiance of all logic, Earth is Unicron, and in this one Earth and Unicron are clearly distinct.

Hang on a second here! I was assured that that Gamestop’s NFT Marketplace would save the company! Are you telling me that hasn’t been the case?! And that it’s failed so badly that they’ve fired the CEO who backed it?!

Could be. Could be. Though if we’re going to take Conservative Patriot’s reading level into account, it’s probably “The Butter Battle Book” by Dr. Seuss.

I think they mean ‘in the form of “1984,”’ written by the True American Patriot George Orwell (aka Eric Arthur Blair, born: 1903, British Occupied India, raised in England, and died 1950, London, England. Like all True Americans.)

Hobie might have been the person to assemble the new Spider-watch Gwen would use to gather a team of Spider-people to save Miles.

Should be pointed out that the deal has to be ratified by the DGA membership, and I’ve seen a fair amount of talk online of voting against it. Especially the writer-directors who are in both the DGA and the WGA are against this deal.

If you think devs are going to buy a $3000 dev kit to make software for an entirely hypothetical consumer priced device to be released at an unspecified future date, I’ve got a Hololens and a Magic Leap and a Google Glass to sell you (actually I don’t because they were entirely too expensive to buy, especially when…

In the flash forward it seemed like he was back up to being assistant coach. But I appreciated that they didn’t immediately bring Nate back into the coaching team. After who he became as assistant coach at Richmond and manager at West Ham, he needed to go back to his roots and embrace just being Nate again so he could…

I still don’t feel like there will actually be a headset announcement at WWDC. It’s been 7 years since VR launched in its current form, and there’s more than enough data about the market to indicate that the public interest just isn’t there for a mass market XR device. (And $3000 sure as hell isn’t mass market.)…

Lottie’s shocked reaction to Tai’s initial decision to refuse the draw—that they all know what happens after a refusal—indicates there’s still new levels of their hunting process to be revealed in season three. The wilderness took Javi instead of Natalie the first time they hunted, but he didn’t say no to the draw.…

A big issue I have with this idea is that Season 1 established that Lottie and Tai had issues prior to the crash. Lottie’s ‘visions’ came back in the wilderness because she ran out of her meds, and Tai had been suppressing an earlier trauma around her grandmother’s death.
