The knockdown dragout final fight scene between Peter and Harry in their civilian clothes is really good and also weirdly funny.

I love the third Back to the Future. Yes, tonally they shift. First kind of adventure comedy, third western comedy, then in between this bleak dystopian sci fi. But who would have the balls to make one of the most successful movies of the year, one which offers endless possibilities due to time travel, and then say,…

Thanks for stopping by?

Me, two weeks ago: huh, I wonder how COVID impacted production

I mean, the handling of Ralph was bad, but at least he is gone

Okay yes, the Power of Love being what saved Central City’s life was goofy as all fuck(a mysterious thing y’know). But, I contend, it’s the kind of goofy nonsense that I want from my comic book media.

Clicking an commenting on the story is an odd way to communicate that. You’re clearly engaged with the content, why would they stop making it?

I don’t like the whole “why don’t you try being a writer then” argument, but I keep seeing this criticism, and I don’t know what else people expect from their superhero stories. How else are you going to show people wielding magic against each other than with CGI blasts? It’s like complaining that westerns solve too…

I don’t believe a word you’re saying. 

To be fair, ‘being myopic about your chosen approach to the hobby’ is pretty deeply ingrained in gaming culture; what else do you expect us to do, learn and/or grow, like emotionally healthy, well-adjusted human beings?! 

Yeah, a more reasonable way to say it is: if somebody already has a gaming PC, then there isn’t much reason for them to buy an Xbox. I think that makes sense!

I do not feel the need nor the desire to build or maintain a gaming PC. I would wager the majority of people who play games feel the same way.

Now is one of the worst times in modern history to build a gaming PC due to scalping, mining, tariffs, and the overall high MSRPs of AIB graphics cards. You will end up paying double the price to match the performance of the XSX. Budget builds are dead right now, which is where the XSX fits in perfectly.

There is so little reason for an Xbox to exist.

If there were so little reason for the Xbox to exist, there wouldn’t be millions of Xboxes in the world. People really need to let the “just build a gaming PC” take die, it just makes you look myopic. 

I mean... the expense is one reason: you could buy a Series X (assuming you could find one) and a fairly barebones PC for your day-to-day PC use and still not come close to the expense of buying (or building) a PC comparable to a Series X. Not to mention people (like me) who just don’t like PC gaming - I just don’t…

No, I understand now. My guess is that the online paper was self-published, but I think it must have gotten through peer review at the Law and Econ journal if they were intending to publish it.

Honest question... what does that even mean at this point? “Star Trek” like the original series?
I first got into Trek from TNG. Saw a couple eps of ToS, never had any real interest. Liked the movies a lot though. TNG only really got good when they STOPPED trying to be like “Star Trek.” But as far as “Star Trek” goes,…

I tried to stay spoiler-free and away from most of the speculation and I think it paid off for me. The fans who have whipped themselves into a frenzy because the final 10 minutes wasn’t a bunch of cameos for people whose names aren’t anywhere in the title of the show seem to be taking it pretty hard.

I’m sure it has something to do with water and using real boats for a lot of it.
