I’m waiting for something MCU-themed for a Haslab project. 1/12 scale Avengers Tower? A Quinjet?

Not only that, but Hasbro is profit driven like everything else. By cutting out the distribution middleman, they can go direct to consumer which enables them to do bigger figures like this.

If there’s one thing that’s become exceedingly clear over the past few years, it’s that there was never a moral center to movement conservatism. From the second it crawled out of the fever swamps and infected the GOP, it’s been nothing but shitty people using it as an excuse for shitty views, and trying to force their…

Morton’s and Capital Grille aren’t exactly haute cuisine. They’re for traveling business people with expense accounts that can’t be fucked to figure out where the fuck to eat because Yelp sucks and at least the food will be decent, if boring.

So about five years ago I was at a Fintech (Financial Technology, for laypersons) conference in London where a lot of the cryptos that have been popping up - Etherium, Bitcoin, etc. - were being talked about. Brexit was, of course, a hot topic of the week, but the closing Q&A focused on crypto.

The problem is not that Conservatives are posting on FB and sharing conservative content.

For clarification, that wasn’t Kang. That was Immortus, an alternate version of Kang. I think Loki ended up in Real Kang’s TVA.

It’s worth noting that her introduction scene in Avengers plays into this - she was overtly using her sexuality and perceived vulnerability to accomplish her mission, same as she did in Iron Man 2. As a former super-spy, those would be tools in her toolkit, the same way that electrified batons or pistols would be.

Virtual cons aren’t a replacement for in-person cons.

Much like the rest of society, gamers range from barely functional to mature adults. I’m not a fan of Poki, but I respect her hustle and the fact that she manages to keep an entirely white room clean and somehow cat hair free. At the same time, I respect xQc for keeping it real, because “wallowing in your own filth”…

One of the things that strikes me is that the rioters don’t realize how close they came to death.

There’s a lot of talk about Games As A Service (GaaS), with plenty of examples like Destiny, The Division, Anthem, etc. Some are good, and some are not.

If you’re expecting an “unbiased” point of view from a B-tier video game blog, then you probably need to rethink your standards for what constitutes journalism.

Prepare yourselves for a surface of the sun level hot take - video games being adapted into movies and movies adapted into video games will never work because one is an active experience and the other is a passive experience.

Honestly, there needs to be a special category at the Academy Awards to recognize achievements like the MCU and F&F franchise.

See, this is why I appreciate my MileagePlus status. It’s written in the fine print that you have to defeat someone at the next tier above you in hand-to-hand combat to move up. I’ve spent quarantine training my body and mind to take on all challengers as I work my way to Global Services, Mortal Kombat-style.

Oooooh no, they say it’s got to go, go go COVIDzilla!

The problem with the Fairness Doctrine was that it was a rule, not a law.

As usual, the only teacher is pain.

I understand both points of view here. The studio wants to be able to surprise players, but to do that they have to get assets in place before things happen which are in turn found by dataminers, who ruin the surprise.
