Some of Hong Kong’s kindergarten and preschool backpacks are based on these, using the same shape but made of nylon like regular backpacks. They’re cheaply made though, and barely ever last the 3-4 years they’re supposed to. It’s a pity that they’re part of the school uniform most of the time, parents are forced to…

Ole, ole ole ole...

Welp, I live in the shit tier with my delicious corn pops. Mmmmm.

What’s the source video for that gif?

I think I now realize that I’d be a gambling addict because I want to buy Rust just to see what player I get to be, despite having little to no interest in the actual game.

So, for you, it’s choice vs. lack of choice, and not about not wanting to play as a male/female/certain skin color?

Give some people a quantifiable metric of what they feel is similar enough to success or popularity, and they will get addicted to it.

Eh, the ending was a bit too on-the-nose and easy.

Still live here. It’s still pretty bad for domestic helpers, but there was a horrible case a few years ago where an Indonesian woman was beaten half to death, and only managed to escape her employer/torturer by having friends smuggle her back to Indonesia for medical help. The employer was arrested attempting to flee…

McDonald’s here in Hong Kong has Mario Kart 8 happy meal toys right now. One of the ads has the Luigi toy driving by a happy meal set, which has to be a graphic designer’s reference to the Luigi death stare.

Make it all pixellated like in actual the game, even that would look amazing.

People complain about cables and extol the virtues of wireless but my PS3 stopped recognizing my controllers recently and I might as well be wired again. Sigh.

Even with the TV on “game mode”? I turned game mode on for all my consoles and the lag disappeared, though I currently only have HDMI-enabled ones attached.

Derp.

Dude, the 80's and 90's was like months. MONTHS for the international release.

You’re right in that Ant-Man had some issues with its tone being all over the place. But if you look at the director’s pedigree, you’ll see that the director they picked after Edgar Wright left is cut from the same cloth. When Peyton Manning does comedy, he uses the camera for visual humor just as much as the dialogue…

I liked the Thor movies, they were actually kind of fun, though lacking in any real gravitas. (The second one quite literally, with all the wormhole/gravity shenanigans.)

Batman Begins was liked by critics and audiences but didn’t make that much money compared to the other two (375m worldwide). Nolan really hit it out of the park with the Dark Knight.
