luckily i do IRL social justice stuff too, so i can RP as much as i want and not feel like i’m faking being a super cool orc himbo with bone magic he definitely doesn’t use for nefariously hilarious purposes. 

it’s a little annoying, but ultimately, i’m paid to be here and these folks are out here opinion-ing for free, so that always makes me feel a little better.

u do realize that this is my job and i dedicate my 9-5 to this lmao.

Yeah lets get some untrained scabs to operate a freight train that weighs several thousand tons, is hundreds of cars long and hauls explosive volatile chemicals through major metropolitan areas.

Brandon Sanderson made extensive usage of this phenomena in his Stormlight books. Granted the writer has a knack for creating truly unique systems of “magic” for his works. The man is a writing machine.

I don’t like TikTok, I don’t like Shorts, or Reels. I just don’t watch them or find them interesting. If I want to watch a video, I’d fire youtube on my laptop (or my 75" TV at night) and watch a proper video that is not 30 seconds long, but has a proper beginning, middle, and end. As an artist myself, I mostly watch…

Can you blame them? Gideon is just that cool. 

None of this changes the fact that crypto is a scam.

I know a majority of folks are going to say Killmonger, but his is one of the few deaths of consequence in this kind of storytelling, and thematically powerful--the cost of violence being violence--bringing him back in almost anyway dilutes all that.

It looks cool. And, thanks to Daft Punk doing the score for Legacy, it sounds cool too.

I seriously think that’s the bulk of the appeal. The original film’s effects were largely unprecedented in 1982, and Legacy at least had interesting art direction. The rest was hardly original but the parts that were good were…

looks like you’re strapping your face to the human-centipede butthole of the metaverse.

Because why oversee your own content when you can sucker your users into doing it for you for free!

They should scrap all the rest of them while they’re at it.

I’m convinced this slide show was just a flex for Florence to show us she got the limited edition R2 Tamagachi at Star Wars Celebration. I could never get to the booth early enough.

I’ve worked for pharma manufacturers for a long time - you’re right that tablets can be really expensive, but that’s usually driven by the high cost of the active ingredients. Especially if they’re for smaller or (hopefully) acute patient populations like oncology. But generally the actual manufacture of tablets is…

Lol, you have to wonder what what all-night coke fueled binges inspired this series, and this episode in particular.  SO dumb.

What would happen if they locked the Dog in the Car????

I mean, I feel there’s a ton of people glossing over this part specifically:

I mean, it’s a tool, just like photoshop or anything else, right? I mean we’re talking about an industry that pays millions for crap like a banana taped to a wall or trees wrapped in plastic. Although I’m fine with creating and exhibiting it, entering it in a competition does seem kinda cheap and there should probably…
