Dystopia is a setting, gritty is a tone. It had the former, what with the imperial occupation, but the tone was one of hope.

That one teaser from way back when looks worse every year. I don’t mean the graphics, I mean the tone—I would hope as a society that we’ve moved past the reflexive belief that grittier, more vulgar, this-ain’t-your-parents-Beyond-Good-And-Evil is an intrinsically worthy endeavour. WE’VE GOT A MONKEY THAT SAYS ‘MOTHERFU…

I think Overwatch 2 finally managed to kill my Overwatch habit, for better or worse. With Overwatch 1 I never missed a single event and I placed in every competitive season, but I barely touched this last Christmas event and didn’t finish my comp placements (Or rank adjustment? I’m confused like Mercante on this one).

Obligatory

The commenting here has become super-ragey; you’re not the only one to notice. And a lot of people were “grandfathered” in ten years ago back when they could pass for normal, with nobody now paying attention to how far it’s gone.

Pro-Tip 1) Don’t adopt a pet unless you understand what it means to own the pet and are committed to taking care of that pet for its whole life. Yes this means even if they get bigger then you were told they were, or have health issues or if you have to move. If you can not commit to an pet, then don’t get one.

An important part of the story is that he bought a pig as a pet, not understanding that they grow up to become regular sized pigs.

Better than the other fiction books that most of them use to swear in on.

So as Batman super-fan Patrick Leahy leaves the Senate after 48 years and six cameos in five Batman movies and B:TAS, another champion appears.

I know they aren’t in the same universe (I think), but bring Stargirl and the JSA in to the fold and that will get back on board The Flash train after jumping off midway thru Season 7.

Yeah, the idea that he and Matt Bomer, who are two of the top five in my list of most beautiful men, may make out at some point in Doom Patrol is a nice way to get 2023 rolling (just caught up on DP last night).

Lame villain yes but my god that man is gorgeous. 

Surely a Wells or two has to show up, no? And maybe a Jesse Quick?

*and no one complained when it did. That’s not... a great sign for your show.

The Book of Boba Fett was so pointless that the show itself gave up and just turned into The Mandelorian halfway through.

I’m potentially (again, I might return it) supporting the many creators of the game... and, indirectly, at an inconsequential level... sending a bit of money (that Rowling doesn’t need or even care about) Rowling’s way. Yes.

“Your choice to purchase, or not to purchase, this game has absolutely no impact on Rowling.”

This is why I’ll probably buy the game and, if the first hour or so is decent, I won’t return it.

Saying that you don’t care Rowling’s views is no different than sticking your head in the sand. If it’s the choice of phrasing that you disagree with, sure but it doesn’t change the point.

If Rowling is not a variable for you, that’s your prerogative. But it is to others, and to dismiss their opinions while giving yours an aura of rational adult decision making is some bullshit.
