I like to think that before the sex, before the branding, even before the Ponzi scheme, Keith Raniere just wanted to play volleyball. And also show off his super cool headband and his aged ground beef beard.

It’s insane. I watched nine minutes of post debate coverage on ABC News where they talked about both guys looking bad, and the messy moderation, and their energy levels and body language, and whatever the fuck Chris Christy paid consultant of the Trump campaign had to say. Nine fucking minutes before someone mentioned…

And yes, let’s not forget the enthusiastically sung intro number, which is the very definition of a guilty pleasure.

Single player in 2020, yes.  Three player with friends when you were 12?  Nothing better.

Wow I think you might have nailed it.

For all his faults as a Nationalist asshole, Homelander still read to me as an All-American guy, and there’s nothing more pro-USA than fighting Nazis.

I’m not even going to say he’s not a nice guy. There are nice guys who are shitty asshole bosses, and there are terrible people that are great managers.

In Ancel’s defense here, he’s not being investigated for any sexual misconduct or racism. He’s being accused of being an asshole boss. That doesn’t make him an irredeemable scumbag, as far as we know.

I agree with it being overrated for this reason: Usually when I play a game of BGE’s reputation, I remember it vividly. With BGE, I just remember liking it. I know there was a reporter and a pig man, and space was involved, and I believe I liked it because it had a different aesthetic and felt cinematic.

Preach

I don’t think we were supposed to take away that Otho was a rapist because of the visions from the (probably evil) god. I think he was getting visions from the (probably evil) god because he’s a rapist.

Damn I love to nitpick this show.

This tracks.

This is officially my favorite show on TV now. Sol bless this pretentious version of Warhammer 40,0000.

Good inisght! I thought the alternate reality at first too, but now I’m thinking it was our earth, and Sol worship returned with a vengeance because an actual godlike entity appeared, adopted the identity, and offered the mithraic tangible, powerful benefits like the Necromancers.

I don’t understand his accent. He still sounds like a viking, but he’s an Australian playing a guy from future Boston

This could have stopped at Lulu Wang speaks out against tapping Ron Howard as director

Yea I have mixed feelings on it. I think EA is a good thing overall, but its increasingly less good for me. And not even because of bugs. There are a few great early access games that I loved, but because I sank 30 hours in, I had no interest in revisiting them in their completed state.

I'm not sure he's smart enough to know the law

A name to know... Natsuko Ishikawa, who stepped into the lead writing role in Shadowbringers, and wrote some of the best parts of Stormblood.
