It’s particularly fucked-up because it seems like a female lead is considered more of something to talk about now than, say, 10 or 15 years ago, which is I think entirely due to the right wing successfully shifting the discussion.

“This time around, we keep hearing about the multiverse, incursions, and Kang, and it’s exactly the kind of shit no one wants to explain to their grandparents on the ride home.”

“What the fuck even happened in TF&TWS?”

I don’t think anyone is arguing Phase 4 didn’t establish anything, though, are they? If so you’re showing how wrong they are.

“Miracle Day was literally unwatchable, though. It just featured character after character making decisions that no human being would ever make under the circumstances.”

Agree completely on all points pretty much!

I love this.

“Doctor Who ran into this problem under RTD’s bloated tenure (seriously, why is anyone excited he’s coming back?)“

“I’m seeing the franchise in a transitional space between Cultural Event and theater-filler for those weekends without anything else interesting showing.”

Re: Neon palette shooter, Far Cry: Blood Dragon 2 is what we need. Also just generally. I honestly have no idea why Ubisoft haven’t just gone for it.

You’ll be fine. I know I was. The plot isn’t super-important (as with most Souls games) and it plays really well, it’s in that upper tier of Soulslike which are actually good games in their own right. I often get tempted to reinstall it - in fact I might do that shortly - it’s a lot smaller than I remember if Steam is…

No, it’s going about the right distance. Or do you want to have some kind kind of competition where only the most-worthy people get considered victims.

What I’m talking about is that D4 (like D3 but more extremely) has a ton of effects which don’t just mindlessly buff a skill by +1 or whatever, but actually make it do different, additional things. In some cases turning bad or barely-usable skills into powerful ones. And whilst I think that’s okay with true Uniques,…

“I don’t think you’ve ever actually like ... drank-drank.”

Thank for the additional information re: the timeline. The article - and your posts, and those of others, all gave the impression this was already signed and ready to go for 2026. But the detail you’ve provided is very helpful and shows that is not at all the case.

Oh I think there will be change - the legislation will get revoked and whoever does (probably DeSantis, that slimy piece of shit) will be hugely popular.

Yeah - and it will fail. Current breathalyzers tend to last 1-2 years before needing replacement (either entirely or parts). Delivery drivers are going to get absolutely turbo-fucked by this, because they’re going to see regular failures - probably more outright devices stopping working than false positives - and if…

“That’s only for people 21 and older. If you’re younger than 21, some states are zero-tolerance, and other states flag you if you blow above .02.”

They’re not unfounded given the way the US and specific states tend to take a mediocre to bad idea and run all the way down the field into the ULTRA TERRIBLE DISASTER ZONE so they can score a truly horrible idea touchdown. This is the US we’re talking about, not a sane country.

“but if the cost was trivial and the accuracy were 100% it would be hard to argue against it”.
