Umm, Casio is not “cheering on Shakira”, she dissed them hard and they are responding in kind. They are definitely in Pique’s camp on this one.

Here it is as basically as I can possibly explain (hold onto your shorts, friend):

DnD is a mechanical game system for TTRPG play. In 2000, the company that now owns the IP, WotC (Wizards of the Coast) issued an OPEN GAMING LICENSE (the OGL referenced here) which was a LEGAL DOCUMENT of rights which they provided so…

Would it be possible to post an article where all of this is translated for people who have never played a TTRPG?

We are walking away from our Mach-E order that should be on the dealership lot any day now.  With the $8k MSRP bump the day we placed our order, and now on top of the fact it doesn’t qualify for the rebate, that’s a $15k hit we just aren’t willing to swallow.  Could we do it?  Yes, but we don’t need to.  It would be…

I mean, it’s not exactly a huge question why it didn’t succeed: it was, by all accounts, a mediocre vanity project in a nebulously established franchise that’s been hit or miss based around a relatively niche character who really was only of interest to Johnson himself.

Seems he’ll be going to prison precisely because he has a hard time letting teenagers go.

I believe Gilgamesh was killed in the attack by the deviants on Druid’s encampment. Having seen the warehouse-like stock of Eternals bodies in the Celestials’ realm, it stands to reason that any of them could be endlessly revived Cylon-style.

so the fact is that anything we write about dwayne johnson and this whole petty high school level drama with WB or black adam is going to get us a ton of clicks and engagement. Our audience, regardless of how little value this story has, wants to hear about what’s going on with Black Adam. there’s no real gimmick or…

A hard reset for the DC Universe is a wise choice in general.

No, it’s so they don’t have to pay residuals. IIRC, residuals also apply to home video sales. So don’t get your hopes up.

No.

He’s right on a certain level.

It still astounds me Marvel was able to build a media powerhouse off the backs of characters who were, at the time, B-List.

This poor kid’s situation is fucked from all angles. Her dad’s a well-known POS and, if it’s true she’s bi-sexual, I can only imagine how that’s going to go down in that household. Part of me loves what is happening to Mr. Cruz while the logical and realistic part of me only worries for that child and how she has to…

I mean, if “provides gender affirming care to trans children in consultation with a doctor” is sufficient evidence of abuse to take people’s children from them and throw them in jail, Cruz probably deserves the death penalty for this.

Paddington 3 looks fucking lit

adults swear.

I can’t read anything about Gamera without his official theme song getting stuck in my head (any version).

Seriously, is Tom Selleck going to get sued for cheating old people out of their homes via reverse mortgages?

Look, I can understand folks not understanding where the MCU was going pre-July and SDCC. It was a bit scattershot and there weren’t a lot of indications where it was going.
