Welcome to capitalism. Would you believe me if I told you that the bulk of CPUs in your computer are the same die, with cheaper models just being downgraded, or parts that didn’t pass testing with the damaged areas disabled? This isn’t even new in cars. For ages, all you’ve needed to get satnav in a Mazda is the…

“Dry kinetically” suggests tying your phone to a rope and swinging it in a big circle for a few minutes and now I’m curious if that would work.

Another reason everyone should own a dehydrator.

If I could reboot any franchise, I would reboot one that wasn’t very successful and isn’t very well remembered, like Michael Bay did with Clonus. In fact I wouldn’t even do a reboot, I’d grab an old movie with lots of potential, clean it up and do new special effects. I guess what I’m getting at is that I want a Star…

You know, a lot of prestige food brands hire their own stockers just to avoid this. You’ve probably seen this at the grocery in the chip aisle - almost all Frito Lay products are stocked by the same team that delivers them. This makes sense - these are VERY high volume products, with a lot of brand recognition, so why…

NOTICE ME JIMMY

I think this really needed to be a movie cast with unknowns. The cast of Borderlands is sufficiently aesthetically divorced from reality that you could cast almost anyone; they took the bizarre course of stuffing this with big names when they could have grabbed a bunch of oddball kids and just gone crazy with it.

Arm the cars. Robot wars, but it’s racing.

Sony has to release a minimum number of projects featuring elements of the Spider-Man comics in order to keep ownership of Spider Man’s film rights. BUT, they can’t just make their own Spider-Man movies because Disney owns 50% of the version of Spider-Man appearing in the MCU. They could make a Spider-Man movie in a…

Ah yes, the Simcity 2000 novice approach, just making EVERY political decision those around you ask for regardless of whether they conflict with previous choices you’ve made. Classic.

I can’t help but see continuing the old show - which itself was primarily an adaptation of Claremont era X-Men - as Marvel finally accepting that in film as in their comics, they need Chris Claremont to pull them out of all the corners they’ve written themselves into.

I love Umbrella Academy - my only real complaint is that pretty much every conflict is just the protagonists fixing something they already borked, which really draws in the scope. In the comic, they also have villains and a broader world to engage with. Season 3 moved in that direction though, so I’m cautiously…

The folks who are getting wraps to prevent rust are gonna be pretty upset too.

I enjoyed Starfield, but I honestly think I did just about everything in it that you can do. Short of building bases I don’t need or exploring the same 10 buildings one-shotting pirates with my instant-kill rifle and bottomless ammo, there was no reason to keep playing. In spite of all its random worlds, there’s far…

But despite this sites love for it most people think Starfield is pretty meh.

Still better than flying United.

Hell, I’d buy a Challenger and I’ve OWNED CHRYSLERS BEFORE, I should definitely know better.

DISCLOSURE: Not gay. But with that said it’s always seemed to me like queerness in video games is very much steered by the heterosexual viewpoint. Like, overwhelmingly homosexual characters in mainstream games are conventionally attractive women. And trans characters are conventionally attractive women. If you have a…

Given Palworld’s rather intentionally weird, off-brand vibe, these seem appropriate. All the more if you consider them as like, the best costumes all the castaways and criminals on the Palapagos Islands could make for some kind of awful Paloween party.

Cynical headline: BMW to discontinue last reliable part of BMWs
