There’s a big difference between a market shifting in a way that leaves some jobs behind and what’s happening now. This isn’t the natural, inevitable decline of a short-term popularity business - this is an overnight destruction of whole industries. They didn’t fade, they vanished in our sleep.

Yeah, maybe, but you can also have unrealistic expectations about how much someone else is supposed to just slip into your life without you having to change anything. It’s hard, hard work sharing your life (and your home) with someone else. It’s hard having to make your life about someone other than just yourself. The…

My wife and I started dating at 19, married at 22, and are still strong and happy almost 20 years later. No kids, but we did start a business together and spend basically every moment of our lives together and couldn’t be happier.

They could have set it so that your skill unlocks unrolled as they were opened during the game. So, as the first round of skill upgrades were available, you’d have them. When the second round opened, you’d automatically unlock any you’d previously bought and so on. That way, you don’t have to re-grind for upgrades a…

You get a star for “Breleigh.” Nearly spit out my drink, man. 

I want to see him get almost finished with his army, give them a long look, and decide at the last minute to crudely paint over all the mustaches.

That’s some stirring oratory you’ve got, there. No wonder you were captain of your middle school’s debate team.

Look, FFVI is the best of the series by such a wide margin it renders this whole question moot. It has the best and most dynamic cast, the best story, the most sweeping narrative, the best villains, and (perhaps arguably) the best soundtrack. Everyone who played it in its prime has had that experience stay with them…

Honestly, every time I See her I think it’s Yuffie in a soldier-girl costume. Maybe that’s the shocking twist? Jessie is actually a spy from a ninja village?

EVERYBODY TO THE LIMIT! THE CHEAT IS TO THE LIMIT! 

I said a-come on Fhqwhgads, come on Fhqwhgads! Who’s-a to the limit? Say me! I’m to the limit! Everybody come on Fhqwhgads!

It’s Lindsay Ellis, so I already knew it was going to be good, but this was seriously one of her best. The comic timing of some of her asides made me laugh hard enough to need to pause the video.

This is 100% about contracts, I assure you. If they cancelled without the city forcing the issue, they could trigger so many contract penalties that it could cost them a fortune. PLUS all the money they lose that’s already been sunk into the show, as planning for the next year starts more or less immediately after the…

Don’t buy it. Don’t spend money bringing something into your home that won’t make you happy. Every time you take Last Jedi off the shelf to watch it (or, you know, select it from your digital library or whatever) you’re going to see RoS staring at you, mocking you, reminding you that all that beautiful setup goes…

This is the most excited about SW casting I’ve ever Biehn!

I mean, really it isn’t even a Chinese culture problem - it’s a rich people and capitalism problem. (Which is ironic in a supposedly Communist country, but there it is.) The Chinese government bends over for the wet markets because big business makes a lot of money on them and because rich people blow big money on…

There are things in this world I do not want. Hearing “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” whenever Merrin is on screen is high on that list. This... this is what you’ve done to me.

Now THAT was a good headline.

And, in fact, sometimes the ONLY way to get people to wrap their heads around something new and different is to compare it to something they can understand. As somebody who makes comics for a living, pitching a new book to an audience at a comic con often requires me to say “it’s kind of like (insert popular thing…
