According to other articles, it is an adaptation of the Gardner book. Also, the Henson Company is involved. Two points that might have been interesting to mention.

You’d be surprised!

Oh my god, when you say he “never finished” I got curious, looked it up, and he just died on March 20th! How the hell did I not come across any obits on my usual haunts? Time was, someone of his stature might have earned at least a small news bit on here when they passed. (Though thinking about it I just haven’t…

Easily the best part of Helix, too.

“within one’s native language, accents are impossible”

That statement is simply incorrect. Accents are differences in pronunciation of words. Dialects are different words and vocabulary.

BTW, the Minnesota accent is NOT limited to the upper north of the state.

No, that cannot be assumed. It’s an extremely pervasive myth that a lot of people believe, that publicly traded companies HAVE to maximize profit by law. It comes up time and time again in these discussions.

Don’t help give companies the shield of “oh well we just legally HAVE to do it!” because it’s a lie.
The C-suites…

Boy howdy would we be better off if nobody ever taught kids on the internet what a fiduciary obligation is. There is no law that corporations pursue exponential profit margins. Agents of the corporation are required to act in good faith with respect to the interests of the board and shareholders. Maintaining a good…

You know what? No. I’ve had it today. I’m not gonna let this lie.

I haven’t been paying much attention to Critical Role for a while so I missed the restraining order, but prior to that I’d noticed she had stopped wearing her ring which I thought was a little odd. The full story is a lot worse than I ever could have imagined.

Thank God someone thought of the children and made all these fairy tale characters public domain. What a hero. Now we’re finally free to use Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf as characters in our own works.

Yeah, this part was beyond absurd and utterly laughable. I can see Microsoft’s response when they get a bill. *Reads the bill... raises eyebrow. “Erm, no.” Tosses crumpled paper into waste basket and it is never acknowledged again.

this really does not make sense— that means if I’m selling on Steam or Epic, I’m the the “developer”, and they are the “distributor” does that mean they are charging Steam and Epic the install fee— I think not :)

Gotta put in my vote for Trader Joe’s Natural Peanut Butters. Creamy & Crunchy, salted or unsalted, less than $3.00 a jar. I make a special trip to stock up. And their less sugar raspberry jam is delightful.

Marsden was playing himself. They absolutely made it clear, he was James Marsden (just, like, a wildly heightened, egotistical version of himself).

How is fighting against AI dumb? It’s been obvious from the start that Big Tech and Hollywood wants to replace all human labor with AI, which very much gives the strike an incentive. The problem is that these sociopaths and psychopaths in power are trying to steal from everyone through any means necessary. It doesn’t…

How come the games get a pass for rewriting things/making thing up but not the show

That’s not entirely true either. The Batgirl write-off was specific to the Warner(HBO)/Discovery merger process, allowing a one-time “total loss” write off that required scrapping the film and salting the earth, never to be able to see the light of day.

If and when Paramount offloads Prodigy, they can take $(“value”) +…

This recreation of the Battle of Normandy uses shockingly similar designs and locations as last year’s recreation of the Battle of Normandy.  We’re not going to accuse the latter of IP theft, but we are going to heavily imply it through this article.

I feel like an hour and a half is plenty of time to test and make sure the game can run on your PC, which this move feels like more a reresponse after a year of pretty terrible PC ports
