This article actually sparked an interesting thought. I’ve always preferred replaceable AA/AAAs in gadgets when possible, since I have a lot of great rechargeables and they’re more convenient than a soldered-in battery. No one likes being in the middle of a game and you suddenly have to tether yourself to the wall…

But Soul frames these moments as belonging to 22 in a way that detracts from the movie’s message because they imply that Joe himself was never properly comfortable in them prior to his adventure.

I just really wish we could get a Pixar/Disney film where the lead doesn’t transform into anything. It’s so annoying. Do you even watch Pixar/Disney movies? Characters change into other shit all the time.

Wow, Denis Villeneuve expresses the exact same stance as Chris Nolan, yet io9's article remains completely snark-free and respectful with respect to Villeneuve.

He is worth $130 billion. I don’t think anything he does can be considered “financially irresponsible.” And I’m not sure how it’s corporate irresponsibility either? Tesla grew into the most valuable car company in the world based in California, with a California plant. There’s more to decisions about where to be based…

I feel like this is just disingenous whataboutism. Communism doesn’t have a strong showing in the US, not remotely to the same degree Randian libertarianism gets bandied about. We can’t even get a strong public health care option in this country during a huge epidemic without it being called radical socialism. The…

Like so many wealthy people, they think they owe *NOTHING* to the society in which they live, that created and gave them them all the opportunities they pursued, and ultimately keeps their world running. Yup, America’s “I got me and mine, so fuck you are yours,” strikes again.

I bought a desktop from Origin last spring - I knew there was a new nVidia coming, but the rule of thumb in PCs that there is ALWAYS something new coming down the pike, and unless that new thing has something absolutely essential to your needs, there’s no point in waiting. I just wanted a desktop with enough oomph to…

> Din realizing that while Boba isn’t a Mandalorian (by Boba’s own words no less!)

Those two characters got introduced to Din, they had their current goals and motives developed, there were indications about their conflicts, both external and internal, and we got a good explanation about why they were joining in with Din for the epiosde.

Can we please call him his new name “Space Karen”?

Sony has tried to foster freedom of creativity

Wow you’ve really hit the Sony water hard. To be clear, this Sony that doesn’t gouge for DLC is the same one that goes out of it’s way to secure exclusive DLC content (Destiny among others), timed releases (numerous multiplayer games) and even pushed their platform base with an unfair advantage above others (reference…

I’m unsure you understand what the word “propaganda” means, but this article certainly certainly shows that the word you were looking for this entire time was “celebration”. Astro’s Playroom is a celebration of all things Playstation, for fans that have been on the entire journey, fans that were there for only part of…

Astro should be the PS mascot.

“The General Services Administration, which needs to “ascertain” or formally determine the winner of the election in order for the new presidential administration to use its transition funds and get other access, has refused to ascertain Biden as the winner.”

Tweet?

Since Trump is currently being pro-active in screwing with what Biden can do during transition, I expect that this is yet another EO that will be walked back in the first couple of days.

A bit off topic: But I laugh when right wing morons whine that their moving to Mexico! If Twitter wasn’t backwards and just let me log in through Google. I’d replay “I hope you get killed by the Cartels.”

I agree that it’s weird to specifically have the Rambo from First Blood, but RoboCop is sort a of different situation.
