It should be noted that in 2010, a ton of people were calling Halo: Reach Gaylo. Not that it’s okay through a 2023 lens, but if it people are commonly referring to something and a person mentions it by that name online, I don’t think that’s a huge problem. It’s important to use context when looking at things people…

I agree that the first season was not good.  However, the same can be said about the Eye of the World.  Hopefully the show will improve like the book series did. 

He is not healed fully yet, and presumably will still be used to help follow Fain and the horn (by way of the dagger).

Keep in mind that a lot of celebrities at events like this are asked to be there so that the event can be seen as a cool place to be and get more press because ‘Patrick Mahomes was at an F1 race’. A long time ago I worked in promotions for similar events and there was a lot of negotiation with publicists to get…

Who talks about Fate of Atlantis all the time? I played this dozens of times as a kid, and again a few years ago, yet I have NEVER heard anyone else talk about it. My friends stare at me with a blank face when I bring it up. 

The distinction is that she is the best morally of the characters. She is still an awful person, but at least she can see that Mencken is a fascist who could ruin America and wants to avoid essentially making a choice that will elect him even though he clearly didn’t win. That happens to be in line with her business…

The Second Amendment does not allow for all citizens to have guns for private use. I don’t know how people have all just decided that despite the language of the amendment and legal opinions of Constitutional scholars including a former Chief Justice.

That’s not ‘technically’ the case. That’s kind of the case and an overgeneralization. I’m in the WGA (and SAG) and I’m not really seeing less work, however residuals are slowing down as old things get moved from syndication to streaming. This is due to how residuals work for streaming services. That is the biggest…

Clearly. But what does that have to do with the topic at hand? Equating not getting forgiveness on a loan you took out with getting your insured money back is disingenuous.

That would be an entirely different scenario.

He lied to protect her, not to protect himself. It kept the guilt off of her, while allowing her to keep living. He then takes on all of the guilt.  The unfortunate thing is that she eventually finds out.  And while it ruins their relationship, she’s still alive, and that’s enough for him.  

Do you have a child? It doesn’t sound like you do, because if you did I think you would have a much different view.

I remember back when Toy Story was in development and there were magazine articles and interviews saying it was a slap in the face to animators. Saying that using a computer to animate removed the soul from all animation and was not art.

This is very much appreciated. I’m in the same ‘new dad’ situation.

Tomb Raider. I finished Uncharted 4 and wanted something similar but not exactly the same and figured I should play it before Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Kansas City in the background and the Liberty Memorial in the foreground.

How long ago was that? It’s very nice (and expensive) now.

Those areas are not in KCK proper. Granted, Leawood and PV are very white (and wealthy) but KCK itself is 40% white, 26% black, 27% Latino and 3% Asian.

I tried using overcast instead of the native podcast app and it only drained 5% off, so it could be apple’s podcast app doing it.
