Just to be that guy - Impossible burgers are not marketed or even discussed as a health food. Any assumptions of health are from the ignorant who just assume anything vegetarian is healthier. Its purpose is a lower carbon footprint compared to beef production, and mainly intended for omnivores who want less meat in…

semi-autonomous is just a terrible idea. It needs to be either autonomous or human driven. Pretending that people will continue to pay close attention as the car drives itself until a situation comes up ignores all human behavior over the last (checks watch) 10,000 years.

I still doubt we will see fully autonomous vehicles in the next 50 years if ever. The only way I see it completely working is on purpose made infrastructure. 

Similarly, “the Mexicans” aren’t “taking your job.” Upper management is giving them your job. Not because upper management, probably majority Republican, is particularly fond of Mexicans, but because upper management figures they will work for lower pay and less of that annoying “running to OSHA with complaints about…

Which is why we need to give people lots of oppotunities to get educated and re-train without forcing them to go into massive debt. 

I thought Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age on Switch would last me the summer, but I can’t put it down. It’s so much better than when I played it on PS2. The music is more sumptuous, the dialogue sounds a little less like it was recorded inside a shoebox, and the revamped (and resettable!) license boards drive the…

It’s been a weird journey for these two movies. Both were completed more than a year ago and just sat on the shelf at Nickelodeon with no release date insight, to the bewilderment of fans and creators. Apparently there was a management change at Nick during their production and the new bosses weren’t very keen on…

Frostpunk sounds really cool and fascinating! I’ll be sure to check it out when my political outlook isn’t seeing a constant fiery hellscape.

Salutations~!

Hyperbole drive....ENGAGE!!!

One new major film every two years was plenty. The big problem with the “anthology” side of things is that they decided to chain it to the original trilogy, limiting what stories could be told and how they could be presented. They really should just not have even considered side movies unless some promising director…

What Have You Finished This Week?

Something odd happened in my game of Honest Hearts.

Sorry to see you go Matt, I hope you go on to great things.

Dateline 2028: AV Club Ranks The First 10 Seasons of Disenchantment

I really liked Dead Money. The whole heist premise, having to rely on one megalomaniac and two untrustworthy teammates (and Christine, who’s pretty much in the same boat as you) in a ruined casino rather than the desert of the main game. The fog stuff and lack of access to your main game high level equipment make it…

How’s summer folks?

My thoughts go out to his friends, family and pall bearers.
