Well, he also prefers “azzz-wee-pay”, but it’s not gonna happen.

In their defense, imaginary hypocrisy is the worst kind.

TIL: Dr. Oz is actually his name (and title).  I was sure it was a made-cutesyism.

Might be, might not be.  I don’t remember seeing it like that -- maybe it’s a regionalism, or UKism, or something?

“The same goes for adverbs (think: really, very, actually, quite, literally).”

Fuck.  I posted essentially this on the story at avclub and felt very clever because nobody had gotten there yet. FINE.

MADDEN SUCCUMBS TO MADDEN CURSE

Holy fuck, Arkham City is 10 years old!?!?  (Yes.)

As another poster suggested, maybe 2-3 years is the sweet spot. For instance, I just started/finished Fallen Order (on PS5), and then went to read reviews; many of those reviews from 2 years ago mentioned technical issues that I either didn’t have at all, because of patches, or possibly just didn’t notice.

You’ve ruined my day by sharing the knowledge that this exists.

[As a non-Sheldon-watcher:] I suspect that a lot of the contempt is not even for the show as it is, but because it represents an attempt to spin off a breakout character from a huge hit that, itself, ended some time after it had run out of whatever gas it was running on.

“I’d wear a mask, but my nagging cough makes that especially uncomfortable, so....”

Fair response.

His first name is “Baron” and I’m sticking with that.

Maybe wait until his strongly-rumored COVID is over before jinxing him with talk about three years from now?

He’s got a new special, streamable on his own web site, so the joke’s on...us?

I find the trophy percentage data on Playstation interesting.  Like, only 78% of people who started Fallen Order made it to the end of the intro level.

The whole thing reminds me of an interesting episode of Nip/Tuck, many years ago. A man (JK Simmons, in particular) gets breast implants for some reason...some kind of press stunt? I forget. Anyway, the breast prosthetics used in the episode look absolutely real (“and they’re spectacular”, and I’m not kidding), and…
