I almost missed the guy in the Ghillie suit.

Even the ones with Jimi Hendrix?

I saw Ex Machina and A Most Violent Year back-to-back, and I refused to believe that was the same actor until my wife showed me his IMDB page. Dude has some range. And he’s been great in everything I’ve seen him in since (except X-Men, because really what can you do with that script, and under that much makeup)

You had my interest until “Baz Luhrmann”. After Moulin Rouge and Australia, I am confident that if I spend the rest of my life without ever again experiencing his work, I will be happier for it.

What about Serbs though:

Well that sucks.

Individual results vary hugely, though. I’ve not done an exhaustive study on the matter, but among women I’ve spoken to on the issue there are far more who say it increases their drive than the opposite. I’ve even spoken to a few who say that different brands affect them differently.

What? Climbing in Breath Of The Wild is at best a chore, even when it’s not raining (whyyyy did they make rain affect climbing?) It’s one of the worst parts of an otherwise-pretty-good game.

Stories like this really highlight how different my school experience will be from my children’s. From age 7 to 13, I went to a boarding school where the teachers regularly beat the shit out of us, where public humiliation was one of the most widely-used punishments. It warms my heart to see how outraged people are by

The way they tell it, they got bored after spending 10-11 years doing nothing else but crank out Halo games. So they committed themselves to 10 years of Destiny (ie: MMO-Halo) instead. Sounds legit.

That’s partly because of how shitty the thumbsticks on the joycon are though. If the thumbsticks didn’t have such a large dead zone and steep response curve, it would be much easier to aim with them.

Also note her Triangle of Power (aka Merkel-Rhombus)

I guess I’ll fire it up with the wife to find out, then! Goodbye, next couple of weeks!

Does it have teams or co-op yet?

I think copy editors are going the way of the dodo in most online media. All the former-Gawker sites seem to have relied on comments section for copy editing since their founding though.

I guess we can reconvene this conversation after the next bout of independence referendums :p

I guess the weirdness for me is that it is inside the quotation marks, and I view “mum” and “mom” as different words - they sound significantly different and act as clear national identifiers for the speaker. Given that the speaker here is a member of a country’s royal family, I guess that exacerbates it a bit. Like

Because it makes a Prince of England sound like an American. It’s weird and distracting.

“I can safely say that losing my mom at the age of 12...”
