The problem is that they’re burning out or firing their “creative juices,” hoping that brand new, lower paid developers will be able to step in. Even though video games are an unstable product, the best way to build long-term stability is to have long-term staff. As with many corporations nowadays, the goal is annual…

For all the accolades he gets as a mocap artist, Serkis should get props for just being a damn good actor in any situation.

They could do it now that they have the use of mutants.

There’s any number of villains that they can use to do intimate 1:1 scale high stakes movies with. Doom, Korvac, and the Beyonder are all characters who have sole motivations that don’t necessarily involve fighting giant armies.

Unfortunately, it definitely seems like they’re gearing up to use Annihilus in the near…

Spider-man movies have done an OK job of doing pretty lengthy high school hangout scenes, but superhero movies will finally get it right when they take the all-time champ of hangouts and make an entire X-Men movie where they’re just playing softball.

Yeah, you should never hand over $60 (or more!) to a corporation with the promise that it MIGHT get better in six months. You wait six months, and then buy it if it got better.

I mean, you don’t sound like you’re white knighting...you sound like you work for Bioware and there’s a lot more you want to say about this game, but can’t.

Her voice has only ever made me think of Mira Sorvino in “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion.” It’s very obviously put on.

Well, there is a large amount of societal expectation lumped on top of it. While I do agree with you in spirit about most of these points, and honesty is really the key to a good relationship, try to be a single person on a dating site, or meeting a new prospective date, and tell them that you cannot or will not…

You can have your HR person fill out a form attesting to when you started working, but the only payments that count are those made:
1) After the loan was consolidated
2) You were working full time
3) You were paying under an income-contingent plan.

Didn’t Amber Coffman basically say as much a few years ago? https://consequenceofsound.net/2016/01/dirty-projectors-amber-coffman-accuses-music-publicist-heathcliff-berru-of-sexual-harassment/

Unfortunately, I don’t think this story is getting the attention that it would need for most people to care.

I bet this sad saga plays out like:
-Republican crosses aisle, calls for new election
or
-Republican doesn’t cross aisle, Congress votes for new election, causing hot takes left and right.

With the inevitable conclusion
-Harris wins the new election.

Unconscious racism aside, I will say that his face during that scene was the most Stephen Dorff face imaginable, and I loved it.

It does not shock me at all that this era of SNL writing would be pro-Amazon. 

All it takes is enough workers to realize that they are not going to be the 1 in 10,000 who happens to become a millionaire above their peers, and that with that thought in mind, they’d really like some health insurance, job security, some vacation, and maybe a little money set aside for when they retire.

Because the whole thing was a ruse to get massive tax breaks and infrastructure in a city they wanted to go to the whole time. They were just using other cities as leverage to get NYC to comply.

As a behavior specialist who is very suspicious of mass incarceration, I agree with you. It’s possible that because many sex offenders are poorly treated in jail, or that they have a different motivation than “crime for material gain,” they’re less likely to reoffend. No one really studies it, unfortunately.

I make my own pizza dough and usually set aside some for knots, but even if you use store bought, my trick is:
-Poach minced garlic and some salt in about two sticks of butter (so the garlic is completely covered) for at least a half hour (I do up to two hours). Never get high enough that the butter begins to separate…

My actual literal job is working with sex offenders, and there are a lot of misconceptions about sex offenses. Extremely briefly - sex offenders are among the least recidivistic criminals (about 10-15% offend again. the only violent crime with a lower recidivism rate is murder). However, that presupposes one thing:…
