I noticed that early on and they have to fix it. I’m not one of those “but muh realism” goobers but that shit is too much.

I recently picked up a new tv, and as soon as I turned it in got a menu saying “are you at home or on a shop floor?” which set the defaults accordingly.

I watched the first Avengers movie for the first time at a girlfriends father’s house in a nice theater room. But his TV had the vivid setting on. It ruined the movie for me, completely took me out of it and to this day I've not been able to really enjoy it despite loving all the other marvel films. Vivid mode must…

Just saying I'm wrong doesn't make me wrong.

As one of those obsessive nerds who lays awake at night, terrified by the thought of just how many people out there use their TV’s day-in and day-out with motion smoothing, sharpening, and “vivid” modes on... I feel this comment.

Every time I see an article like this it just reminds me, as is even pointed out in the body of the article itself, that almost no one has a properly calibrated monitor or TV.

Yes I did, it is not real medicine.

The fact that 277,000 dead Americans later we are still struggling to convince people that COVID is “real” depresses the shit out of me.

They're not bone doctors

“This does seem like a welcomed concept, helping pinpoint issues and relieve pain.”

My thought process for not taking the ring:

That’s exactly what they did. And the presells sold out in seconds. And no reputable retailer is going to offer presells for inventory they aren’t certain they’re going to have when inventory is this scarce.  

As someone pointed out earlier, the Un and Uri would be written similarly enough to be the same.  The English equivalent would be claiming it’s not him because you spelled it “Ury.”  Going back to my earlier response to another comment, it would like naming a dancing character Justan Timberlake and using it in…

It is not covered as parody. There’s a fine line between calling the character Un Geller and having it bend spoons and giving it a funny name like a Garbage Pail Kid and Nintendo stepped over it.  

They named the card (and the character) after him. It very much is his card and his choice whether to allow them to use his name or not.

If there was a large black boxer in Street Fighter named M. Bison. Also why the Golden Nugget Nin-Nin Hall was renamed Golden Bullion: Shadaloo Hall in later Street Fighter games, because Golden Nugget is an actual casino.

Kadabra’s Japanese name is written out the exact same way they would write out Uri Gellar, with the romanizations changing it slightly (mostly by changing Uri to Yun). The Pokémon was very, very clearly designed to be a reference to Uri.

It’s important to point out how much of a charlatan Geller is.

The catch is that he wasn’t claiming to be an illusionist or a magician 20 years ago; he was claiming to be psychic, with *real* magical powers to bend spoons and make seeds germinate and so forth. So although he dressed it up with moral panic and antisemitism (he objected to the pentagram on Kadabra’s forehead as…

He’s more a con-artist than a magician.
