If that were the case (creating a multi-cultural and diverse game), why aren’t skins transferable to any and every character? THAT would cover all the bases ... but since they don’t do that, and they have consistently given the Asian skins to the white lady character ... people are griping.

Considering that this is Mercy’s 5th lunar new years skin while several actual Asian characters don’t yet have one, it seems to me they are already bottling up each individual culture such that everyone stays in their respective lanes. Namely the white woman in the Asian lane, and the Asian character in nothing.

Let me know when an Asian character gets their 5th Switzerland skin.

I find it fascinating that progressive people in favour of representing other people’s cultures find it offensive when the “wrong” character attempts to showcase said culture.

I agree that tossing around accusations of “cultural appropriation” is something that’s gotten a bit out of hand.

Captain Marvel is not a bad film. It was a pretty standard superhero film with a great performance by Brie Larson, who played an interstellar warrior who actually acted like an interstellar warrior. No cute puns. No flirting with the guys. She embodied violence and I appreciated that. 

Mustang drivers manage to pull it off all the time without impairment, so I imagine it’s pretty easy to do with a car that’s much faster.

this looks fun but it’s extremely funny to me how sweaty the ‘everyone loves suicide squad, right!’ marketing push has been.

Dude is way too talented for modern Star Wars. Minus One was, absolutely, the best Godzilla film ever made, beyond Shin and the 54 original, it was fucking fantastic. Not only is it the best Godzilla movie ever made, it’s easily one of the best movies of the year period, it’s an excellent film. 

Except that I doubt the typical Incel has the income needed to buy one.

Yes, but can he do CGI slapstick, the way Lucas used to do?

I saw the Cybertruck referred to as the IncEl Camino and that’s how I will forever think of it. 

I wonder if they could get away with allowing people to pay to jump the queue, or move up in the queue. They could probably squeeze another couple thousand each out of the pre-order people that way.

Tesla fans aren’t going to be frustrated, they are going to lap this up. “OMG, look how great and generous Elmo is!” While ignoring the ulterior motive of keeping peoples interest free loans for as long as possible AND selling them another car at the same time.

You might want to familiarize yourself with this...

Do you know what was going to happen to the stock options for those same employees?

.... Couldn’t they just not go in the pool?

And I’m certain that those funding OpenAI wanted innovation over guardrails.

“The Board’s direction moving forward is towards profit and not thoughtfulness of purpose, which makes their non-profit nature questionable as a continuing entity.”

Sigh. Am I the only one who finds James Wan’s audio jump scares irritating af? He’s been doing the aural equivalent of “the cat jumps up into frame suddenly!” (silence...silence...silence...THESE STRINGS GO TO 11!!!) since the first Conjuring film.
