Well, the Barrow Wights better not show up in their LotR haunts, considering that they were only summoned there by the Witch-King of Angmar during the Third Age. Exactly what they are or where they come from is one of those details that Tolkien never elaborated on; he originally envisioned them as a lesser version of…

Marginalizing Daisy Ridley is totally on brand for Disney.

Huh, she’s a very good actress, but hardly what I think of for an action star.

HAVE CATHERINE THE GREAT FIGHT THE PREDATOR, YOU COWARDS.

You should cover more games here , Kotaku is sadly a zombie site thanks to the fuckwits in charge there (and I feel genuinely sorry for the writers forced to write another ‘guide’ rather than a proper article).

Why would you have to play it again when it “actually” comes out? It seems like the content they’re working on is new areas, a few new Olympians, and general polish. None of that will invalidate your progress or force you to start over. It’ll just give you more to do.

I have no idea when it’ll be “officially” released, but like the article said, other than a few places it feels pretty dang complete right now. There’s a ton of content and all of it is really good and feels really polished.

It’s still a very fun game. Hades II currently has two routes, with one complete and the other I’d guess half complete (inferring from the number of biomes you travel through) with each about as long the single route in original Hades. It already feels like more content to play than original Hades, though a lot of…

Again this is why we need an equivalent to the car stereo test. You can’t count on your audiences seeing the thing in perfect conditions. And frankly even in ideal conditions I would prefer to see the people’s faces. 

Orcas are bigger than, and have been known to prey on, Great White sharks. This guy is angling for a Darwin award.

A junior dev can grow into a senior dev, ChatGPT can’t!

The shortsightedness of current leadership is incomprehensible.

That’s horrifying. A junior dev can grow into a senior dev, ChatGPT can’t! How are we supposed to get new experts if we don’t give them the opportunity? How are we supposed to keep talent if we don’t have anyone to learn from the current experts before they leave for good?
The shortsightedness of current leadership is…

I mean, in the end, it’s as good as asking a random stranger if they could quickly google up some information for you. Sure, they might give you the right info, but you just can’t know for sure.

Look, I hope that this show is good and I’m glad that the initial reactions are positive. But the line about how “no one is good, no one is bad” just drives me up the wall. Even in a morally complex world we can say that someone who is less than perfect is good if they generally are doing good works in the world and…

I want this to be good, I really do. But these advance reviews are notoriously unreliable, and these are even more useless than normal because it’s only 2 episodes out of 8.

He cited his own Tweet.

Normal for Catholicism is usually pretty weird. 

15 years old, died in 2006, was born 1990 or 1991? that’s Millennial.

This is weird.
