You might be right about Anya, she’s had a fair amount of Avenger’s time. Ashley popped up throughout Spider-Verse, IIRC. I doubt she’ll ever get screen time, though it would be amazing if she did.

I’m not sure of the exact split, but I would imagine it depends on the character— a lot of people have used the Spider-Woman and Spider-Girl aliases by this point.

Gwen Stacy’s Spider-Woman is almost certainly with Sony, as well as Mayday Parker’s Spider-Girl and Spider-Woman.

Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter are compli…

There’s a fair degree of leeway when comes to some food labels. But this isn’t one of those.

Texas chili is chili. Your standard red bean chili is chili. I’ll even get behind white bean chicken chili. But “Cincinnati Chili” is spaghetti.

The best part of that is that he’s got the banana upside down.

Like, sure, he’s talking like Skyman made the stem so mankind can crack open a banana like a cold one, rather than like, you know, it’s the point the fruit grows from.

But, seriously. You hold the stem and then pinch & pull apart the other end of the banana.…

This was my first thought as well. His hesitancy seems like it might be more than just a longing for “decorum.” Seems like maybe he just doesn’t think people in power should have their taxes looked into, for reasons.

Total pedantry here, but I keep seeing this and it’s wrong.

Spider-Man is not Sony’s IP. Spider-Man is Marvel Comic’s IP, for which Sony hold the exclusive licence to make movies using. Being that Disney now owns Marvel Comics (via their parent company), Spider-Man is technically Disney’s IP, which is tied up in an…

Yes that is correct. I mention further down this thread that I imagine Disney was probably hoping for something in the range of 30%.

A couple of people seem to have misread my “showing that they wanted a much larger share” to mean larger than 50%, rather than larger than their existing deal of 5%, which is what I…

Is it, though? Marvel Studios is doing all the work for the MCU-related movies. Sony is just allowing them to use the licence. Then Sony gets to slap their name on it and make nearly all the money from the movie. Marvel Studios mainly makes their money from the deal off merchandising. Sony’s play probably should have…

It could be a bargaining move, sure, but you generally make that as a power move to greatly adjust the offer. Which, I don’t think would be a good play on Sony’s part, based on the stupid amount they’ve made off Marvel’s Spider-Man movies, Sony Pictures overall mediocre performance, and Disney’s increasing market…

Considering that Disney is doing all the heavy lifting, and Sony is just allowing them to make a movies and slapping their name on it, 50/50 isn’t that outrageous. Certainly less so than the pittance Disney currently gets.

I’d say based on the existing deal and Disney’s overextended first offer, I’d guess they were…

Based on how negotiations work, Disney wasn’t going for 50%, that was just their starting position, showing that they wanted a much larger share. Which, you know, makes since, being that the deal is up for renegotiation and the movies have been insanely successful.

Sony is the one people are mad at because instead of…

This update fortunately doesn’t seem to have broken anything* on existing saves. Planets are only slightly changed, from what I’ve checked so far. Materials, technology, and construction have seemingly only been expanded.

*The only big issue I’ve had so far is that I can’t access the storage rooms on my freighter. But…

Nah there’s been additional inventory tabs for at least over a year. They just weren’t graphically presented as “tabs.” Instead the model display at the right (exosuit backpack, ship, or freighter) would show little nodes labeled “General” and “Technology”.

It’s also still the same size, unless they messed up and new…

Yes. There’s been a separate “technology” inventory tab since at least the NEXT update back in July 2018. Your personal inventory also has a third “cargo” tab. The only new bit is that you can finally move installed technologies to different slots. Which will make reshuffling your inventories to accommodate new…

Yeah, this exactly. The exploration starts to get a lot less interesting once you’ve seen most of the assets. Once you’ve seen all the “scorched world” types of flora, there’s just the occasional super-rare fauna to catch your eye. Or those crazy worlds where everything is giant. It would be great if there was…

As someone who put some money into Star Citizen... it’s more than a bit disappointing/depressing that they don’t have more in terms of gameplay systems and star systems done yet.

That said, they are making progress, and the alpha/pre-alpha builds have been overall pretty enjoyable. Last I played (I don’t currently have…

On the one hand, I can see how being able to just build whatever ship (or multitool) design you want would hurt the “wonder” of the wide range of RNG/Procedural designs.

On the other hand trying to hunt down the ship you want, in the right color, with the best slots and/or stats, is hell. The ability to just change some…

I really need to replace my old, dying desktop speakers, but a great set is so expensive. I managed to get my Sennheiser headphones on sale for something like $150, IIRC, when they retailed for something like $250-$300 at the time.

Meanwhile the Audioengine speakers I was eyeing haven’t dropped in price and I’ve never…

It’s because most of their stream budget goes to priority equipment like extremely high quality microphones and cameras.

Also just... not everyone is an audiophile. Personally I’ve got an amazing pair of Sennheiser headphones, but most of my friends are perfectly fine with whatever $50 or less pair they use.

Any extra-judicial holding area for the purposes of ‘concentrating’ (and thereby segregating from the populous) a specific group of people is a concentration camp. (That first bit is what makes them different from prisons).

If such camps institute forced labor, then they are also labor camps, but are still…
