They were all making a mint.

What is the extra $10 that games cost now buying?

If the game can run at 30fps on the Series S, there’s no reason why the Series X can’t run it at 60fps at the same settings.

but racism is never “in good fun”.

I think it’s a design (as in, software design not visual design) issue.

My understanding is that you can drag an item to a tab and it will switch to that tab, where you can drop it, so this should be helpful for your use-case.

Actually, Star Trek is generally really good about this. It almost always puts those qualities on the culture of a world, not the biology of a species/race.

This is a wild defense. You’re not calling them racist tropes but that’s what they are. The rhetorical and narrative features used for D&D’s “evil” races come from known racist tropes. This is just a fact. “Exploring them safely” is not something anyone needs or wants to do. What it actually does is (unintentionally)

If you start giving henchmen family lives, the whole story becomes a moral quagmire and certainly no fun.

Next up: “Why is killing tolerated in D&D?

One of the small things I really liked about the Star Trek Adventures TTRPG is that the rulebook exclusively uses the word “species” instead of “race.”

Why is he wearing a grimdark-version of the Shazam outfit? Is he Billy’s long-lost evil uncle or something? Is there any chance this is going to be explained in the movie or are we just supposed to look it up on a fan wiki?

This “soulful” version, which was apparently recorded at the bottom of a well, is wildly out of context with the content of the lyrics. The emotion it’s trying to squeeze from the listener is so generic and also sad for some reason, like a song you’d play over a photo montage at a funeral. It feels incredibly empty

I feel like they were testing the waters with not having the theme in the first episode, worried about tying it back in with GoT too much, and then once they saw the show was being positively received decided “screw it let’s bust out the theme”.

I don’t know a ton about Tolkien’s works, or how any of the magic in his world actually works, so maybe there’s something that contradicts this, but to me, it seems that The Stranger is Sauron, reborn in a new human form.

I was under the assumption that a second season was already announced, but I was mistaken. https://www.avclub.com/the-sandman-might-not-get-a-second-season-on-netflix-1849439520

I’m guessing it wasn’t too hard for Gaiman & Co. to convince Netflix to let them have this bonus episode

Once the anthology aspect of the show took over, I was hooked. The more serialized final few episodes didn’t click with me as much.

I would like nothing more than if RTD (not Moffat, keep up), with his ability to take anything in Who’s sprawling nonsense continuity and make it work and make you apologize for ever doubting it could, took the Timeless Child plot and just ran with it whole hog. Just a big middle finger to all the haters.

Now you're getting it.
