Apparently the remake has some extra stuff that ties it more to Automata

So far I’m quite enjoying it (six hours in) - the combat isn’t as fun or responsive as Automata, but everything else is really pleasant. And the “big empty fields” you have to run through aren’t that big at all. It’s sort of like Hyrule Field from OOT, and I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they were going for.

I’m six hours into Nier Replicant, including an hour of just repetitive fishing and gardening, and thus far it hasn’t irritated me, because the views are so pastoral and the music so pleasant. I’m sure it will get annoying further in, but I knew what I was getting into with Yoko Taro.

Even if you have a passport, they still want the birth certificate.

In NYS at least, your ID will say “Not for Federal Purposes.” Across all states, the Real ID will have a star - either black, gold, or in a black or gold circle, or in the case of CA, a star in a golden bear.

I brought my tax return, two utility bills, pay stub, passport, and social security card to the DMV, and they STILL wouldn’t give me a Real ID because I didn’t have my birth certificate.

Batroc got done dirty. He would have been a nice continuity point for the MCU, just a merc who comes along every now and then to do a job for the villain of the movie. They GOTTA stop killing their villains!

If they do what they did to Kumail Nanjiani for Jon Gabrus, he’s really the only choice.

I just watched a speedrun of this game. Really bizarre and fun.

So it’s basically just an iPad you can’t carry around with a nicer webcam? 512 gigs of space is the same as my 7 year old laptop. The colors are certainly nice, but why would someone go for this over an iPad with a wireless keyboard? I can’t imagine it’ll do much for either gaming or productivity, unless the M1 is…

Cannot WAIT to hear J Jonah Jameson say “Did you see the POOOOOL? They flipped the bitch!”

If not the best HDTGM, easily top 5. It starts with anger, and the anger never ceases.

You could go ahead and just call it The Shadow King. What a wild show that was.

The only real question is: Are you Team Fred, or Team Sanity?

Oh, I got what it was about. It was just pretty boring and didn’t make much sense.

My guess is that her character will have roughly as much screen time and lines as Kat Dennings in Thor 2, or Paul Rudd’s greek chorus in Ant Man

I’m definitely getting Nier, though ideally waiting for a PS5 to become available, which is fine, because I’m stuck making my third seamoth in Subnautica and I don’t see an end to this game for at least another month.

Honestly, it would be refreshing for the MCU to have a protagonist who is NOT a quip machine.

It bears mentioning that this opens up a whole bunch of paths for the future - while Mandarin is historically known as an Iron Man villain, his criminal organization is constantly in conflict with both the Hand and the Yashida clan, so - Daredevil, Echo (who just got cast), Elektra...and Wolverine. Heck, for a couple…

Shang Chi has not historically been known as the most loquacious comic book character.
