I’m biased as Norm is one of my favorite comedians, but his new ‘old man’ angle is excellent imo. He’s got this fantastic strain of earnest bemusement at all of life’s trappings and the accepted reactions to them. The theatricality of life, if you will.

yeah, this is a pretty transparent takedown piece for a character on a hit show that crosses off a bunch of items on the checklist for jez political opposition.

bachman vs. yang has been an amazing subplot.

it’s supposed to give you anxiety, it’s being run by a bunch of people with social anxiety in incredibly high-stress situations.

bob saget is richer than anyone else on that show could hope to be. he’s stupidly, absurdly, filthy rich.

will do. you too, friend.

i agree that bullying made me resilient, and half the people that have given me shit wouldn’t last a week in my shoes. but, it also saddled me with anxiety and depression and a well of resentment that i can tap into to power through, but which can also rise up during the most inconvenient times.

i am SO pumped to give hitman a shot. south park and shadow of mordor giving me a semi as well.

just chiming in to express appreciation for the content. always neat to see the halo players from that specific time period get on the record. such a fascinating time period for american competitive gaming, and console gaming in particular (which has always thrived stateside). those dudes (through MLG) had their own…

you should cut those fingernails

Dan Gilbert doesn’t want to pay the $100m repeater tax. LeBron James doesn’t want to play in Cleveland given their roster will be unable to acquire the parts required to match the warriors. Gilbert dons the asshole cape, LeBron slips out in free agency. Got one for the land, time to get more for the legacy.

Mortal Kombat II, which I bought with my own money second-hand from an older cousin. I was shocked that my dad approved the transfer. I think NBA Jam (I was a genesis owner) was my first in-store purchase.

I think they very much did, and the love for/possession of barb was a defensive reaction.

You’re not far off, though it was more about the engineers telling the corporate suits how to design a show based off of their metadata analysis. Which character types were used, the subject matter, the time setting, how long arcs were, when the narrative needed action vs suspense, etc. many of these things were…

really hope they show some cool open-world stuff soon, and more range-y missions. that demo looked pretty boring.

is there a class and/or personality differentiation for oira/boku? looking for a little additional context to the notion that oira is for a country bumpkin.

you mean like ambidexterity, and some of the best passing and vision the league has ever seen?

they’re women in the socially constructed gender-identity, but they are not females in the biological sense.

in reality we do consider the same for the men’s leagues, testosterone levels are the preeminent indicator for doping, which is very much not allowed in men’s sport.

running back on defense after westbrook converts a hero ball possession into a brick, his eyes-wide in horror, trying to get draymond’s attention, “dude, are you seeing this? please, get me out of here”
