I’ve been playing this over the weekend and it’s amazing. The best part of it are the accessibility options that allow you to tweak how punishing the game is. You can edit how much loot you lose if you die or whether there’s a timer on exploration. This was extremely welcome for me, as without, I would’ve gotten too…

They removed everything we wanted from Black Flag, except ship combat. How could they have misunderstood the fanbase that much?

My list would be:

Flash s1, Stargirl s1, Supergirl s4, Arrow s2, and most of Legends of Tomorrow’s run are peak superhero TV for me

Yes. 

Has Werner Herzog ever been effusive about anything, like a box of kittens or a sunset or something? Or does he just see despair and futility alleviated only by the cold release of death in everything?

It’s by far the most fascinating and frightening aspect of generative AI. It has the potential—which it’s already beginning to realize, under our noses—of gutting entire industries and wreaking untold economic havoc. I’m concerned too about the effect it will have on art, and artists. But more broadly, it could create…

He has a well-known reputation for being, essentially, a cheapskate. The Atlanta episode about “Kirkwood Chocolate” is based on Tyler Perry. He uploaded a video to social media where he showed off stacks of TV scripts he’d written by himself and proclaimed, “Work ethic!” (hence the title of the Atlanta episode), and…

I’m a little baffled WB apparently still had so much resting on this game being successful despite the very earned hate it received every step of the way, especially when it was revealed as a live service.

and that’s why you always as for a prepayment, or a % down. Being your best customer or the most valuable company in the world.

50% down now, 50% due at delivery.

Still sucks for her though. Hopefully someone at Tesla will correct the situation. Or Musk will blast her on Twitter to try and convince people she’s the…

I’m so exhausted of late stage capitalism. When do we get to the part where we put CEOs and shareholders in a guillotine?

Stripped of the snark, that AI work DID take work from a fairly skilled artistic profession. It takes hours in the chair because getting the prosthetics right isn’t something that just happens.

I will say that I think the first season of The Flash is about the most perfect comic show to ever air on TV.

Gustin always seemed like a real cool dude and I would’ve liked to meet him at a con (I mean, I guess I still would, but I don’t think he’s exactly cruising con circuits anymore lol), it’s nice that he looks back fondly on the show even if it sure did get messy in its later years.

Or maybe he resents the fact that while they helped him buy Twitter, they’ve failed to help him successfully buy out Tesla, and this is his expression of that resentment.

So the reality of grocery stores is that they have entire swaths of items called “vendor items”, which are brought in and put on the shelves by an outside company - the titular ‘vendor’ of the product.

Chances are those Walmart employees work harder every day than you have ever worked in your entire life.

Mediocre dickhead followed by millions of mediocre sheep forces his way into the lives of hard working people getting mediocre pay to sell his less than mediocre candy.

The Telltale Games game is great, though.

The OA’s first season was really good. Second wasn’t terrible, but it felt less interesting than the first since it had to pick a side on the whole “is it supernatural or is it stress and trauma” dichotomy.
