Yeah I would imagine it’s mostly just “don’t be in Region X of the USA because that’s probably where we will be” and “You can’t completely destroy any existing major faction in case we want to use or reference them”

Usually I’m against developers spreading themselves too thin, but it does seem very odd to me that BGS has two huge licenses under their belt, have added a new one (Starfield, though it is a much smaller license and wasn’t nearly as well received as TES and Fallout typically are), and yet they seem to mostly be…

I believe there is also a fairly wide-range of MS types and severities.

It’s typically the way fraudsters get caught. They get away with something once and assume it will keep working. The longer it works, the more they push it until you get situations like this one.

I’m curious about the card. Was it just a rewards card like Ralphs or something, or was it also a credit/rewards card? Their Risk acceptance is probably like 5K$ every six months or so, maybe more. Had she just used it normally, a couple hundred over 6 months would have probably went undiscovered and at least a slap on…

Definite theater experience.  People cheered at the end.

Your Highness, the Church does not support this”. 

Lol that could be true, too. I wonder what the conversation was like: “Your Royal Highness, is it wise to admit that you are bad at Photoshop?” 🤔 Alas, who knows.

That’s a great point! Lol poor woman is going to be asked whether she wants something professionally photoshopped every time she takes a pic now haha. But that’s good I guess??

I can’t believe it took the royal PR department this long to come up with that explanation.

Sure but using the word “snubbed” gets clicks.

SCTV was always better written and better performed. The best bits in SNL season one came from Albert Brooks and Andy Kaufman. Didn’t care much for the coked up cast.

Yes. That’s fine if it’s a good performance. You don’t cast fucking impersonators, you cast actors.

The only thing I can recall about “The Beverly Hillbillies” movie was that in a post credit scene (or maybe DVD extras? It wasn’t part of the main film) Jim Varney does a damn good cover of “Hot Rod Lincoln” which led me to discover that the guy who played Ernest was an accomplished country-folk artist and an expert…

Clear-eyed Gen X here.

Thank you, Ultron!

This is weirdly passive-aggressive. TV has evolved in response to new developments in the media landscape and viewing habits. TiVo and streaming enabled binge-watching, which allowed serialized storytelling to eclipse episodic storytelling as the norm for TV. Now in 2024, the streaming money spigot is being turned…

the movie version of bewitched was dumb. too “meta” for its own good. should have been just a straightforward adaptation.

You can do that when you have an order for another season in your hands.

If you don’t end every season on a deeply satisfying note, you are just plain irresponsible as a writer.
