“popcorn littered the aisles like pearls from Martha Wayne’s necklace.”

As soon as you mentioned the mist I just assumed you walked out of there soaking wet. The Batman is very wet movie.

Smack!

4DX (it wasn’t called that at the time) was a gimmick for Universal Studios (the park) shows in the 90s. I can’t for the life of me fathom why this crap would be brought into actual theaters 30 years later.

extremely funny piece. I thought about doing this with a friend for Dune. We just thought it was such a funny idea.

He might be saying he ‘wants to get caught’ so that the ‘exploit gets fixed’, but fucking up people’s games is not how to do that. Just because you say you have noble purpose doesn’t mean you aren’t being an asshole.

I got to pay for stuff he released with promises attached. Indeed, when I bought A Feast For Crows, it specifically promised in writing that the next book would be out “next year”. If Martin had told me that it would actually be another six years, and that the book after that would be more than a decade and wouldn’t…

Read that post. Literally read every word in it. And then explain how those words combine in their text OR subtext to equal “boss him around”.

Man who keeps telling people he’s going to complete something soon upset at people asking “well where is it”.

Yeah, and Tolkien completed Lord of the Rings…

Knowing how it ended is one thing. Being angry at the half-assedness of the ending is another. It’s more about the goodwill of the fans and interest in the property and the world it created than the specific ending and GOT lost both of those things to a large degree.

The big difference between Winds of Winter and these tv shows is... the tv shows don’t depend on GRRM doing anything more than signing off in order to get made. Which is how Game of Thrones got finished, even if it wasn’t in a satisfactory manner. If GRRM asked his former assistant Ty Franck to help him finish his…

Just admit you lost interest and aren’t going to finish the series. It would be less disappointing. Its never going to be done, its been more then a decade, I don’t even want it anymore.  Last two books kinda sucked and I have no reason to assume the quality of a finished book 6 would be worth the wait.  I used to be…

In my day, you had to insert a damn floppy disk! And then you’d listen to it snicker inside the drive and pray to the PC gods something wouldn’t go awry to eat your data.

Maybe I’m just a luddite, but I’ve not trusted “autosave only” games with the rest feature since day one and I’ve always quit to menu at the very least on those games.

and nicer comments section in comparison to other Vtuber comments sections as of late.

You can always tell the Americans based on their opinion of how/why people should be incarcerated.

So she’s netting like $20k?  I mean I’d take it, but it’s hardly a windfall.
