“Tony Stark does not need to look like Iron Man”

Possible there might be room for extensive extracurriculars, though this comment makes me wonder how things have changed over time with SAT prep becoming much more of a standard than years past. And of course the many times the basic scoring of the SAT has changed, 1600 vs 2400 vs whatever the last two changes have…

I do worry about two of your points there. That once lesser private schools, using their massive war chests, raise themselves to the level of even crown jewel public schools, while maintaining a student body that comes from nice, well-connected, and rich families. And then those families cry poor and demand budget…

90's were filled with ‘tude, possibly to the max.

Yeah, Daikatana is looking quaint in all this.

I will if their accent isn’t hidden well enough. But Hollywood, and whatever actor training exists out there seems to have gotten better about that. Dr. Strange, for example, is still a little off for me.

I don’t think they are going away, OTOH, it usually takes a couple years before the real games of the gen appear on consoles. The real thing limiting adoption might not be technical but because game devs can’t account for PC’s being able to keep up in this very specific way for a while.

Well there is that Yellowstone caldera...

Yeah the folks that are nostalgic for some past era are the biggest window to how poorly history is actually taught. It ain’t great now, but I wouldn’t trade it to go live in any previous era.

But maybe that’s cause they are using more than 10% of their brain...

Confident folks don’t need to go around showing everyone how confident they are.

It’s fighting the war “over there” rather than here. If you don’t give in to even the first, most reasonable requests then you don’t even have to worry about the bigger, more costly ones. Of course that only works so long as it works...at which point everything burns down.

To piggyback off both comments. I don’t think this looked all that great, but also some of the best, most successful ideas don’t come from meeting a consensus stated desire....otherwise someone else would have fulfilled it already. Who out there was really clamoring for battle royales, or MOBA’s, or MMO’s before they…

Yeah like a decade late to the party, but hey it could still be fun.

Absolutely right!

That would be the crossover game I’d get into.

Wait...she’s less dense than an apple?

There are folks that gleefully dress up as Stormtroopers to a degree they made their fan army, the 501st, a canon thing. Missing the point in nerd culture is definitely a thing.

You don’t expect to see this in some ancient tomb?
