I really hope they can pull back on the sister thing now that Kate is gone (even if not forever), much as I loved Ruby Rose the tension between those two was getting tedious, IMO. Tension that overstays its welcome starts to illicit either exasperation or comedy and the Kate Alice thing was getting old very fast, IMO.…

Comic book rules: No body no death. A proclamation that someone is dead, is useless.

I’m 200+ hours in on PC and still having fun as I have sense day one. I’ve had 3 crashes in all that time, far less than some games that get far less crap tha CP2077. The labor practices thing is a small blip to me because everyone piling on CDPR is quaint but despite their promises they aren’t the issue or alone in…

It just goes to show that the female gaze (or the PoC gaze, or LBGT gaze, etc.) alone can’t overcome systemic issues in the way the storytelleing in some genres is structured. Sadly, theses issues are far more complex than some would like to think.

There is also some ludo cognitive dissonance that messes with the logical idea that katanas seem silly and out of place as nothing more that cultural “badges” because on average on my experiences so far they do more dps that any firearm of an equivalent level. It makes it harder who don’t get your arguments to…

Sure such footage may exist, it also may not. I suspect based on Cohen’s treatment of anti-semitism it does exist, but suspicions are not proof. We’ll have to wait until Amazon or Cohen feel their interests are protected and they release the footage

There is a great documentary call The Last Laugh, that interviews many famous Jews and a handful of Holocaust survivors about whether or not they think it is acceptable for Jews to use comedy to deal with the Holocaust. As one can imagine, the response is a mixed bag. Interesting film.

It seems easy and mundane if you know little about modern standards of protecting copyrighted films. Do some research about how often studios or filmmakers have realeased such footage to, even to someone tying to sue them. We will wait for your results (hint: the number is going to be low in comparison to those who…

As longtime fan and as someone who teaches courses on pop culture I recall the massive stacks of crap that Keanu used to get from audiences back in the 90's. So, it is extra fascinating for me to watch his placement in pop culture now.

Wait, Mondo put out a Thing boardgame a couple of years ago, its on one of my shelves.

Here’s a crazy idea. How about Disney stops and releases a few of the many Marvel shows they have slated rather than announcing 30 more.

I’ve been hoping for years for a Hot Toys Ahsoka, my pre order was locked the instant she was announced.

But will we return to those things? Certainly, some of us will, but for others there may be no theaters to go to (at least within a reasonable distance). As a cinephile, the saddest part for me is that depending on how long this thing goes on there many not be many theaters to go to when it’s all done. Certainly many…

If you think ripe, those floppys are “millions” of years old you should research the tech that our nuclear arsenal only updated from within the last year or so.

As a black gamer this game couldn’t have come at a worse time for me. Joel being killed whwhile lying face down and essentially “handcuffed” was bad enough but Ellie beating a black woman to death with a piece of pipe that, though surely not intentionally, looked all too much like a baton, were just two keenly awful…

As a 43-year vet of TTRPGs who has written academically on the subject I agree with much of what is here but I have seen every point here broken to magnificent effect (and yes, some disasters). The beauty of TTRPGs is that there are no wrong answers so long as everyone is having fun. I’ve been in a campaign where we…

I don’t follow Ezra Miller and so I have never heard of the non-binary choice. I suspect from the comments many people haven’t. Since the choice seems so little known, a small aside “Miller, who identified as non-binary in a recent GQ article...” or whatever, would have been nice. The slapping of [sic] all over the…

While that scene was upsetting, that woman survived, it says something about our society when the scene where a girl is suspended upside down, has to watch her parents get brutally slaughtered, and then is killed herself, gets no mention being upsetting. What three brutal murders gettting passed over says about us, I…

We are going to be feeling the ripple effects of shutdowns in China and other manufacturing heavy nations for many months to come. Smaller business that people don’t think about will be impacted, like the businesses that supply manufacturers with parts or raw materials, forcing them to maybe seek new supply lines when…

Any firearms expert will tell you that we don’t call them accidental discharges (I am a certified firearms safety instructor), we call them negligent discharges. The distinction is important, this all happened due to negligence, not an accident. The word negligence males it clear that all fault lies with the person…
