Like.... re: artist credits.

Out of all things, this was the tiny feature that I loved of Armello.

EVERY cards of the game included credits for the artist who’d done the art/animation of the card.

...”perceived” self-worth?

Do you think the people working at the fast food chains are being paid what they’re worth for the price of the food that makes the company billions of dollars?

The real zombies were the friends we lost along the way.

No your weird conspiracy theory comments are funnier

I generally agree with this article, but as both a Deck and Switch owner, I’ve discovered that there are strengths of both.

The moment she shows Harper a photo of her kids on her phone (while claiming to be looking to show off “her trainer”) felt particularly calculated in its ditziness, almost as if she knew what she was doing, telling Harper in no uncertain terms why she stayed with Cameron

Asked and answered. Ragnarok was kind of lightning (har har) in a bottle, and Love and Thunder was such a sweaty and obvious attempt to recreate that magic that it fell flat.

I have to disagree on the gameplay still being good. It’s okay at best compared to what it was in OW1. 5 v 5 has continued what they started with role queue in making the whole game much more formulaic and in line with other MOBAs instead of being something unique.

So the obviously unpopular BP system they chose will stick with the game for two whole seasons, and they’re continuing to have big problems making support fun and desireable to play.

Look, I’m forward-thinking - I accept that people like her didn’t choose to celebrate christmas, and that they were just born that way. What I don’t understand is why they just have to be so flamboyant about it. Like, can’t you do your christmas stuff behind closed doors, and not throw it in all of our faces? I’m…

I loved Moon Knight. That and Loki were my favourites, so I think this is a case of YMMV.

I actually agree with most of this article. I don’t think Phase 4 was bad, it just didn’t have much of a common thread keeping it together. Add in a pandemic, a ton of Disney+ content, and Marvel’s noble (but somewhat neutered) attempts at social commentary, and you get whatever Phase 4 was supposed to be.

A take I heard a long time ago in a forum discussion about Transformers Gender was that it probably wasn’t a thing when they lived on Cybertron, but that when they came to earth & learned our language & changed their bodies so they could change into earth vehicles they were also learning our culture & figuring out how…

I’ve always assumed that all of the cybertronians were non-binary, certainly some of the cybertronians were more masculine and some were more feminine but none were ever traditionally binary-gendered. Certainly the show runners weren’t thinking too hard about this but still I never read them as gendered.

Or it could just be a blind spot in the writers’ awareness of their culture.

“Whose that person over there?”

It’s weird how much men who will never have sex have issues with other people’s sex and gender.

Language evolves. The old example I always trot out is how everyone pronounces “forte” for-tay, as in “That’s not my forte.” They really should be pronouncing it “Fort.” But alas, too late...the ship has sailed. And it doesn’t bug anyone except people like me who have the original pronunciation still kicking around in…
