For some reason, I really love Spam in Hawaiian food. Spam fried rice, spam musubi, that kind of thing. It’s delicious.

I know the feeling. I’ve been looking forward to that movie for so long, and I would love to see it on opening night with a crowd of hyped up fans.

That moment when Captain America picked up Thor’s hammer in Avengers Endgame... If you were in the theater with us, you’d think we just landed on the moon. God damn,that entire place was cheering and hollering, and damned if I wasn’t too, movie etiquette be damned.

and hand the reigns to someone who understands basic characterization and that iconic Superheroes should actually be portrayed as being heroic

Damn right. I want my robo-hog damnit.

They announced this game right and a half years ago. I don't think the problem is they didn't have enough time.

With the demise of the Paramount consent decree, that is precisely what I expect to happen. Amazon theaters, Warner theaters, Disney theaters, Netflix theaters, you name it.

I’ve seen movements to use words like shi, xhe, or xe as gender-neutral pronouns, but they’ve pretty much remained niche. It looks like our cultural consensus has just settled on singular they.

Not to me. When you say they offered financial incentive to do it, that implies that they paid people to do it. Not that they donated to a project that some people might want to further to get them to do it.

Kinda but not really. The incentive was a donation to the makers of the emulator that the Big House tourney was planning to use.

I suppose that would be up to you.

As a fan of Greek mythology, and irreverent/campy takes on it, it sounds like this game was pretty much made just for me.

I don’t think there’s much Sony can do. There’s plenty of precedent for emulation being entirely legal as long as you use a legal copy of the game and don’t infringe on any proprietary firmware code (some of which was set at Sony’s expense). They can try to push MS to disable developer mode on retail Xboxes, but who…

You’re thinking of how the blip was perceived by the blipped. T’Challa would have seen everything else disappear and then reappear five years older, but the people who weren’t blipped (presumably including Shuri and/or Nakia) would have lived through those five years, without T’Challa.

If Tony Stark can do it all, why not Shuri?

*pours one out for Sleeping Dogs*

The only thing I’ve ever heard about this game is how terrible the microtransactions are.  I’ve avoided it for that reason alone.

Not every state does safety inspections, unfortunately. I moved to Kansas in 2014, and my car was inspected when I first registered it here and not once since.

IIRC, at that point, the helper character mechanic is replaced with being able to swap between Spidey and Venom, and I managed to beat him once by stun-locking him  with constant character switches.  But yeah, he was pretty much impossible otherwise.
