Congratulations to Lupita Nyong’o on her upcoming role as the next Black Panther.

i feel like the headline and the byline are like... opposite statements

To appeal to people like me who think it looks fantastic :-D

It’s still one of the more popular games around, there’s a lot of positive things about it now and then, like recently when people praised the narrative in the past year:

Honestly what they really need to vault is the last-gen version, so they can remove all the duplicate data and optimize the game entirely for super fast SSD usage.

The Switch’s USB-c port is only USB 3.0 so there’s absolutely no way it has the bandwidth required to handle something like an eGPU to offload processing. The absolute best you could hope for is a slightly smarter resolution upscaling on the HDMI signal, but your 4K TV can already do a decent job at that (most likely).

No, you are 100% wrong.

Man you would be the best lawyer for a robber. Sell a painting you made, then break into the house and steal it back because “its the artists property”. And hey...what genius idea...you could sell it again...and steal it again. Because its still “artists property”. Right? What a great money making scheme. Why didn’t…

It wasn’t his property to begin with. There were multiple other parties involved and it sounds like they all disagree with what he’s doing.

lmao at this easily avoided and completely spectacular self-own. Looking forward to him claiming that this is proof he’s being victimised for his “conservative views” + posting even more white nationalist stuff on twitter than he does already (Note: I am not actually looking forward to this)

I think Bungie had been that way long before with Marty, who was their in-house guy. And while we’ll never know the true story, something went south, really badly in their relationship. And Marty is clearly in the wrong here.

Jeez, read the room. Fuck Marty and his shithead views.

Yeah, I was sad to learn what a jackass he is. Breaking the Destiny subreddits rules to promote himself, then when he was corrected by the mods, he played the “Do you know who I am?” card and went to twitter asking his followers to ‘declare war’ on reddit... yikes.

Marty did great work, his video game music will go down in history with the all-time greats, but the dude is a real piece of work personally and professionally, so he’s ultimately just getting what’s coming to him when he pulls shit like this.

This reminds of that recurring guy in Community, who basically rented out his identity to Subway and Honda. Jake From State Farm is now that actor’s legal name, a la Jennifer Government. 

Can this guy just go away already?  I mean no Disrespect.  Literally.

I highly doubt it will be a transmog situation because it actually impacts gameplay. Transmog is monetized because it’s 100% cosmetic. This is basically an evolution of what they’ve already been doing in terms of targeted farming for weapons.

I feel like this is overdoing the cataclysmic events a bit much.  Thanos already did the snap that killed off half the universe, I think Marvel would benefit from focusing more on the smaller, character-driven stories right now.

Yes, this. LOTR is quintessentially English. The fact that the movies made great use of New Zealand’s landscape (and surprising movie-making talent) doesn’t change this. It was always odd that New Zealand and not England (or the broader UK) came to be so closely associated with Middle Earth.

Counterpoint: the Lord of the Rings stories were always set in a fictionalised Europe, with themes around Nordic myths, and the Shire being explicitly modelled by Tolkien after Berkshire and Oxfordshire in South-East England. The New Zealand connection only came about because Peter Jackson is a Kiwi and insisted on…
