they lacked a strong enemy. sovereign was terrifying, he was an amazing villain, the kett were on the level of the collectors, mindless drones with no real personality. and while the archon had some menace, he never DID anything. Sov goes down like godzilla, Arc is just a standard overdressed big guy. That said, i…
I’m not sure if it would be great for ME to turn Shepherd in some kind of larger than life Master Chief figure that gets out of hand and ridiculous.
Do they compete? Or do they coexist, providing a specific service - DRM free games - that Steam does not, alongside a couple very popular first-party titles (that area also on Steam), while having a much, much smaller market share?
I appreciate you’re at least attempting to make a good faith case here, but I’m honestly not sure how you could read that back and not conclude that you’re just carrying water for an obvious de facto monopoly. Like, I just don’t see anywhere we can make ground on this given... your stance. But again, I appreciate the…
Well I think the image maker and the people using it are certainly in alignment, but what it demonstrates does not support their argument at all.
What it actually shows is that Steam is such an entrenched monopoly that rather than having genuine competition, what it has is an entire ecosystem of leeches that…
Yeah, I have no hate for the Marvels, especially as it has “my” Captain Marvel in it, Monica Rambeau (I was very surprised as a teenager when I found out she wasn’t the original one and annoyed when she was replaced later), but the odds of me seeing it at the cinema are close to 0%. I mean, it’s not a movie with sound…
Only disagree on a few points: I really love Eternals. I think I’ve seen it four or five times now. I like Shang Chi also for different reasons (Awkafina and Simu’s interactions being a big one). I found Dr. Strange to be garbage from start to finish, for story and execution. How MORE obvious can you make it that no…
Yep. I mean sure there’s misogyny and other hateful ideologies involved but no different than last time. And despite the trolling and hate, Captain Marvel 1 still did well, though not well enough for Feige and co to bring back the original creative team.
The name, Grok, means “to understand profoundly and intuitively” and it comes from Mars, or at least, that’s what the 1960s science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land says.
Looks like something which should jump out of the chest of a Deception.
So close. While I was waiting for someone to point this out, you missed the mark by a hair. The character in the comics does not have a prosthetic leg, and is who they’re specifically referring to as the one with “lame” powers, not the MCU’s version who is played by an actress with an amputated leg which has been…
They... did, though? Alaqua Cox was born Deaf and is of the Menominee and Mohican nation, born and raised on the Menominee Reservation.
Swordsman especially got a lot of build-up for nothing.
Yeah, I suspect that most people that are aware of the Nic/Tim Superman knows it from Smith’s talk, not the documentary (which I never heard of).
The giant spider is a really important part of Kevin Smith’s one-man show from like, 2003.
Market cap in January was 340 billion. So apparently “worth roughly twice as much as Ford, GM and Stellantis combined” is considered “incredibly low” these days?

True, which is why I’m using small-n nazi to refer to people who are genocidal fascists but are not Germans living in the 1930s. The ideology of modern day far right movements is 90% the same as the OG Nazis. In this case, both would agree that trans people shouldn’t exist, which is why we see laws against providing…
