That and DC is currently prevented from achieving statehood under the current constitution. There have been several proposals to remedy the situation, including dividing all of DC minus the government buildings between VA and MD, but no one can reach agreement on it.

What’s the compatibility like for SteamOS? Do most Windows-based games run fine on it, or is it pretty hodgepodge?

Interesting take on the princess from Atlantis. I wonder how pitching her as specifically black would have been received long-term? Is it enough that her skin is one of the many shades of “black,” and that her voice actor is black?

Physically and vocally, absolutely. Not 100% sure about how her general acting skill would have played out, and how much that could have impacted the portrayal. Sometimes that matters, and sometimes it doesn’t.

This isn’t about my own ego, as I’m an easy mode user. It’s more about providing a common challenging user experience during the period in which a game is having its “moment” socially.

I’m a fan of the idea of releasing easy modes a few months after initial launch. So much of a game’s success seems to depend on the communal buzz and discussion that hits in the release window.

If they were actually genetically close, it would be more analogous to twincest.

Blu ray is the best format for people with inconsistent internet.

“And this is supposed to be the better alternative to paying for cable TV.”

Why not just let the players unionize?

(Just desserts, with two s’s)

Sure, but nearly anyone can play basketball, even if done poorly. Magic and The Force don’t seem to be universally accessible.

Sure; I guess I have never seen TikTok or “influencer” culture as a reliable source of steady income anyway, and this is just another way that such income can be interrupted.

I wonder if dances could ever be copyrightable in a practical manner. At the moment, in US law, it’s apparently the case that *choreography* can have copyright, but not moves.

Likewise, Wakandan is just Xhosa.

Another consideration is that her IP was released to the Creative Commons under a non-commercial license.

My headcanon is that AoS takes place in timelines that have been reigned in by the TVA.

Series regulars have a different pay scale from guest stars, to my understanding. 

I understand the cost argument, but I think they cut a few too many corners in the end. The hardware they established barely improved upon the Gamecube.
