“I’m for the right for people to complain if they so wish to as long as it’s not racism or sexism.”

The games want to position themselves as sequels to the novels, perhaps, but after having read the novels, they do a poor job of it.

That’s barely a sequel and a lot more like a reboot (like a canon reset in comics).

The updated edit really did make a huge difference.

The games aren’t sequels to the novels. They’re more like an alternate version of them, with several plots and characters rearranged.

I’m thinking we’ll see Final Fantasy XV-2: Optional Ridiculous Subtitle.

Yeah, but that’s not really the point, is it?

They got sent forward in time at the start of this season; maybe they get sent back in time at the end?

Prediction: the majority of Ant-Man and The Wasp will be set in between the events of Civil War and Infinity War. Maybe roughly after Homecoming and before Ragnarok.

The few customers who might legitimately benefit are those for whom Sprint and T-mobile each provided moderate (but not truly adequate) service in their region.

So any guesses as to whether the ending will impact Agents of SHIELD?

In the laws that I looked into in response to this article (my state’s law, for example), the definition of value is based on wholesale prices of random awards, not on their aftermarket prices. It’s arguable that the wholesale price of any digital good is zero or near-zero (especially when such goods aren’t authorized…

In the US, at least, cash value matters. In a number of states and jurisdictions, machines whose non-cash prizes are of low enough price (based on their wholesale cost, not their price on the secondary market) under a given threshold don’t qualify as gambling.

I think the tricky bit to this is that virtual property, won from loot boxes, clearly has perceived value to the players but has no actual value outside the game. I don’t believe those items can be resold, can they?

The comparison has to do with the difference in setting between versions. The original Casino Royale film was a psychedelic parody of Bond with multiple elements of Swinging London infused. The recent Casino Royale is a more serious and modern affair.

Asking filmmakers and actresses to think critically about the way thinness is depicted can be a useful conversation, but this is clearly one of the dumbest ways to prompt that discussion.

In WoW PvE, there have been a few odd cases where a Rare could outperform an Epic. In the early part of Cataclysm, for instance, there were some Rare one-handed maces statted with Strength or Intellect, rather than Agility. With an optimized DPS rotation, these oddball weapons could somehow outperform items intended…

...a “confidence thing” is already a “psychology thing.”

I played for the story, but I was also hoping to feel I’d accomplished something. I finished the whole game and don’t remember any actually brutal fights other than those where Mickey bailed me out. I’m not saying this to brag, as I actually tend to be fairly mediocre at most fast-paced real-time combat games.

To each their own, but I’m actually kind of surprised that they’ve held up for you.
