Why can’t you rationalize a wolf in the same way? Eivor’s story begins with a wolf and they get the nickname “wolf-kissed” - does it seem so crazy that the same generations of storytelling that let you rationalize a cyclops could also have led to Eivor being described as riding a giant wolf instead of a horse?

Zack, what if it’s not a giant wolf and it instead makes you a small assassin astride a normal sized wolf? Would that make you feel better?

If I had died from COVID after watching Joker, my only regret would be having watched Joker.

You mean the one that has a Bad Guy who briefly convinces the Good Guys they disagree until they realize they should put their differences aside and punch the Bad Guy?

well its “ruined” in the first 20 seconds of the trailer...

Mouse pokes his head out of an eagle’s asshole and asks “How high up are we?”
Eagle says “Couple thousand feet.”
Mouse says “You wouldn’t shit me, would you?”

If there’s one thing that QAnon taught me it’s that the Hollywood elites, like Baby Yoda, love to eat young children. MAY THE STORM BE WITH YOU!

When your parents tell you “You can be anyone you want to be” and you take it waaaaay too literally.

There’s a tweet for everything:

Many others have pointed out, but hey, once again: if they cheated, why didn’t they cheat into decisive Senate and House victories at the same time? I mean if you’re there and cheating already...

No one:

This is gonna win Best Picture...isn’t it.

Well, it’s not like you need an extra fork to eat steamed hams.

I find it funny when people use the phrase “from new york”, as in “a reporter from new york, as some sort of short hand for urban sophistication and privilege. I also grew up in an economically depressed town full of blue collar workers who did probably know about extra forks but just didnt see the point. That town was…

I’ve commented on this before and I find there are some people who really like the modern-day stuff. For me the game creaks to a massive halt whenever I have to do the Animus shit. I think it’s boring and unnecessary, and in a game where the period-era story can drive the narrative entirely I don’t really understand…

The glaring omission in all of this is “what happened to Juno?” She was set up to be the big bad after the death of Desmond, and she was hinted at in Black Flag, but then... nothing.

“Or you can just ignore that stuff and focus on the standalone stories told in each game’s historical sections.”

Definitely Skyrim. It was the first game I played as an adult that really transported me and made me feel like I was in a different world. Now that world and all the systems of the game are so familiar that they’re second nature to me, so it’s easy to just tune our everything else and get lost wandering/exploring or…

Steamed fraud?

Melania and Barron’s “private quarters” are ten miles away in Potomac, Maryland, where both of them live with her parents (and where Barron attends school). Melania helicopters in and out when she is needed for any official function. The entire White House Press Corps knows about this and it’s incredibly galling that…
