sorry, i had that wrong — the fourth season is the penultimate season, the fifth season will be the final season.

Weekly episodes create a fan mania for popular shows. Westworld would never have been the hit it was if everyone had binged it in one weekend. By HBO slowly revealing the mystery, fans feverishly rushed to chat rooms and forums every Sunday night to debate what that week’s episode meant and where it was leading. You…

“It felt like he was on top of me, and I’m looking in his eyes and I don’t see him anymore. It wasn’t him. It was black. I’ve never been so scared in my life.”

The Anti-Amber arguments are getting a little ridiculous now. They’re both describing the same kind of situation, and because they had very similar experiences, they’re using similar words. This is very obviously not a Melania/Michelle type situation.

I will say that while I agree they’re both obviously fucked up, I find it a little sickening that it seems like a lot of people and certain media outlets want Heard to be a “perfect victim,” and since she isn’t and clearly has issues, this must mean she is just as bad or deserved it or whatever. I mean, if I was raped…

They have. And people are leaving in droves all over North America.

I am admittedly an anomaly but working from home is an utter nightmare for me. During the worst of the pandemic, I would go for weeks without talking to another person for any reason that wasn’t the daily standup and specific work related things. My productivity dropped so much it’s a miracle I wasn’t fired. If you…

Lot of people WILL find work elsewhere, or don’t even come to work for you in the first place. 

And now a lot of companies are selling property and going 100% remote. Buildings and building maintenance are VERY expensive, and it’s actually cheaper to let people work from home.

“Zelda and Metroid are identical in what made them unique” is my new favourite sentence.

“There are even rumblings that the lower-specced Xbox Series S has been a “painful” thorn in some developers’ sides.”

I’d like to say that these guys just lost a sale, but I really don’t think I would have bought any of these anyway. I love the Arkham series (or at least the first 2), but GK looks like a wet fart and I’m not into co-op. The others barely even registered on my radar.

from the horse’s mouth:

If eSports want to be like other sports there would be a players union to balance the power that owners have over players 

I feel like “pro” gamers are forgetting the part where “pro” stands for professional and they should learn to act like it. It’s not just about getting paid to do this but also bringing in a level of maturity as well.

He’s not the manager of the team. If eSports wants to be a sport like others, then it’ll run like others. You’re going to have teammates you don’t like, and there’s going to be people you do like traded or released. As a player you don’t get to just hold out because you don’t like a decision that wasn’t yours to make…

That’s kind of the problem in a lot of dramas. They think it is more relatable if characters “show they are human” by caring more about their personal life than their job. The problem is that it matters what the job *is*. Being a leader of a country is one that should take precedent, as you mention, but there are…

“there’s never a suggestion that she’ll allow her professional duties to invariably take precedent over her personal ones.”

On one hand, the endless coverage of one mass shooting might serve to give the shooter the notoriety they crave.

The problem with the death penalty is we frequently execute innocent people.
