Fun fact, Sucker Punch has a really feminist read on it. And yes it was intended to piss off its audience since it was being very critical of its intended audience. A very cynical and banal interpretation sort of lets you off the hook, but if you read interviews with Snyder at the time it was pretty obvious what he…
Always remember that before the Southern states decided to fuck it up for everyone that New Coke was selling well in the North and was preferred by 3/4 of its audience.
Just a fun fact :)
Have you not touched Origins or Odyssey? Because those two games feel like entirely different games compared to the older Creed games. Syndicate was the last of its kind.
I feel like we’d be remiss not to mention the Lady Trent series by Marie Brennan. A Natural History of Dragons features a fantastic main character, where her being a woman is a central focus and point to the plot. (In addition to the usual Victorian sexism she’s fighting against, there are other points that come up).…
I’d like to emphatically plead for anyone who cares about this subject to read Eric Foner’s Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution 1863-1877.
It’s a really wonderful in depth look at that time period and a look at what could have been.
Having said that, I can’t wait to see this documentary.
I cannot summon the willpower necessary to give a crap about this scandal. I’ve tried several times and I’m just... eh.. Whatever. Rich people being rich. Like, hit her with whatever fines she deserves and move on. This isn’t worth putting anyone in the pillory for. Especially when in the case of a movie it screws…
Don’t mind me, I’ll just be idly hanging out waiting for the next Brandon Sanderson book in the Stormlight Archive series to drop. God Speed Martin, at least the TV series will give us all an ending.
It’s kind of true in a sense in that Martin paved the way for the popularity of grimdark storytelling (game of thrones dropped in 1996). In the same way that Bab5 helped rewrite the rules on Serialized Sci-Fi TV, and The Watchmen rewrote how people could approach Comic Book stories.
A lot of people took the wrong…
Dug up some numbers just for a fun “Whats the demographics look like?” which is only corollary, not the main point of this question, but I thought it’d be fun to see what it looked like since I live in New Orleans (which has a long rich and complicated history of its own) and wanted to know what everyone else’s…
Man with Detective Pickachu showing up... they really didn’t need to do this. This is grade school level in comparison. Augh :( The 2D Animation was so good!
What’s amusing is that their chorus sounding like Linkin Park was a huge benefit for me. I was like. GREAT, a band to fill that little void I was missing but meshed together with Refused and RatM.
“And fuck every single “ally” who, as soon as the spectre of Scary Black Guys was introduced in the “longer video”, broke their fucking thumbs reverse-tweeting what their eyes told them was happening.”
Best guess: No one wants the wall. But if they tried to pass it while the GOP controlled the senate and house and it failed, then their base would catch on that the GOP really doesn’t want the wall.
This is explicitly a good example why session Zero is the most important session of the entire campaign/one shot. No joke. Set up those expectations so everyone knows what kind of flavor of game they want.
“There aren’t a lot of examples of This type of male character”
What a weird point to get pedantic about. Like.. I get that in 2018 moral dollars it’s not that big a deal. But I feel like there’s some real layers of privilege to unpack here if you don’t put this situation in its context.
The upside is that if they do let it simmer for a build to Mania, that it doesn’t really matter who wins. The only thing Rousey has to do is get better at talking. It’s a Win/Win for everyone involved. Feed Becky to Rousey, doesn’t matter. Still over af. :)
Holy shit is this not ok on any level. Don’t do this. Go to Fox News, protest there. Go organize somewhere public. But threats in front of a persons house like this? That is some fucking nonsense there. God damn. You’re better than that people. :/
The pearl clutching over being blocked on twitter notwithstanding, I’m shocked any famous person even has twitter to begin with. A veritable sea of cacophony just blaring at you constantly, ugh.
Some amazing music has been written in a day. Whole albums in fact. It’s never a question of “time” just a matter of skill and conviction to release a song without the worry of overworking it.
