There was talk of GERBILS

I didn’t know him aside from this series, as I was aging out of the demo for those shows, but, yeah I heard that part and was like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!, that alone, should prevent him from EVER being involved with anything that has kids or even being around them, not to mention he is now a convicted pedo.  Shit even…

Christians are generally idiots.

Do you have human acquaintances in the real world, and do you talk to them in this tortured way, possibly while red-faced and hyperventilating and attempting to convince them that um actually you are incredibly calm and well-adjusted and THEY are incredibly angry and offended?

tbf in this thread and previous threads he’s always the one to bring up the word and then others adopt it when they realize that’s the perfect term for his behavior. it’s more that he called himself one and we all agreed

“one might expect moving over to the family-friendly platform Disney+ might dampen some of the queerness or queer themes... Davies, who created Queer As Folk and It’s A Sin”

It baffles me that I see so many jerkoffs in comment sections saying “Doctor Who went Woke because DISNEY!”

The movie is excellent and a lot of care clearly went into basically every other aspect of it. Don't skip it for that. But do hold Hollywood accountable (vocally I mean) if they keep doing this stuff. I think we're a little early for boycotts, but I sympathize with the viewpoint that this is not a good thing and…

I agree that art does not do well when made by committee, if that committee does not care about the art and only cares about about ROI. I dislike how the sneering at “made by committee” devalues collaborative work and plays too hard into auteur theory and all the ancillary problems that come with it.

I mean, functioning adult brains that aren’t high on ketamine can acknowledge that Tesla’s suck in multiple ways and also acknowledge that if she hadn’t been drunk this wouldn’t have happened and also acknowledge that an 8 minute phone call probably was a poor use of everyone’s time.

Same for me. The “Sweet Surrender” section of the review had me muttering “no”, “nope”, “lol, nah”. And I love traveling in cool worlds. I never once used fast travel in RDR2, for example.

Right? I have a job and kids and hobbies. I don’t have hours to walk to a quest objective and walk back, learn systems the reviewer charitably calls “byzantine”, or “git gud” at another action RPG that gleefully tries to bury its knuckles in my face at every opportunity.

Exactly what I came here to say, so thank you. I want to play it. I played the first one, despite its arcane “laws” of its version of an action-RPG, although I never finished it and honestly, don’t remember a lot of it. I remember walking — the original “walking simulator” — a lot, and if this is similar, not so sure…

I feel similarly. I want to want to play this game, but I don’t know that I actually want to play this game.

If it’s anything like the first one, I’ll definitely say that it is a dense game that seems impenetrable, but I was able to replay it as an adult over thirty with limited gaming time and found it to be one of the more enjoyable gaming experiences in recent years. I know that doesn’t make sense, but it’s a game that…

I don’t know how four-year-old me didn’t riot in the theater at the time (I do remember being bored - I also remember being bored at the very long opening credits of Superman where all the names fly forward on the screen).

All these articles about AI failing at X feel like people complaining that the 300 baud modem is too slow, or that the Model T sucks because you have to hand-crank it first.

Over the years, Siri has gotten much better at recognizing what I’m asking for and responding accordingly.

They sound terrible because they are dry and emotionless. there is no subtle changes in tone or pitch that often carry a lot of meaning.

Like I said, I have’t seen it, so maybe it is a great movie, but I have qualms him ignoring those issues while clearly drawing on the current political climate to sell tickets to the movie. This quote from him in Variety also does not inspire confidence
