The scenario of alternative Soviet timeline is fine. And characters in that universe are, of course, the product of their environment, so their warped motivations are fine in-universe, too.

I actually think this is one of the best Ferrari designs; I’m a sucker for angles. 

That’s overstating the competence of the Nazis. They invaded the largest country in the world while their primary method of supply transport were horse drawn carriages.

Literally funding a war of aggression in Ukraine is a little bit more than just ‘problematic’ I would say.

Oh c’mon, the Rainbow is awesome, it would have fit right in as Straker’s next car in the UFO tv series. The blue is nice but it was really eye-catching in white on the cover of Road & Track (I think they repainted it blue), also it looks really good from the front. And it has a cool targa top that flips up and stores…

And many of those drivers now think that Putin is a good guy thanks to right-wing media. 

Something that Mad Men, Masters of Sex, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel & Stranger Things have in common is that they all begin prior to the actual births of their creators. Thus the period is not recreated from their own memories but instead from media, more the idea of the time as viewed from the present than the reality. I…

By contrast, all American pickups: “I am Putin. The left lane is Crimea.”

While I agree that WFH is better (I’ve been doing it for 12 years!), I guess I am confused on how people got into a situation where they, as the article says, did things like sell/not buy cars, move further away from the office, etc. Did ABK ever give any assurance that WFH could continue forever 100% of the time? If…

Boohoo. Find a new job then. The pandemic is over.

I, too, wish for a return of Audi’s less aggressive styling.

Is there a sense that Lilly’s part has been cut down because of the stupid shit she has said about vaccines and stuff? I was surprised when they went all in on Shuri (especially given who she was replacing), but Wasp has not been made crucial to MCU designs in the same way.  Have they even decided exactly who is in…

This promotional image is so baffling to me.

My gut says that this might be the film that makes a lot of the casual audience starts to check out and things get too confusing and convoluted.

well what about 25,000 other people that complained about the piece first and the fact that’s it’s being investigated? also...all the other evidence from the last 20+ years that he’s very racist. like all the racist stuff he says and does.

They’re Craigslist SEO tactics make me give an immediate ND.

It’s one licensing deal, Adam. What could it cost, $10?

I will say one thing about Nintendo, they are masters of optimizing their internally developed games. I wish other studios would spend half the time actually using every bit of available power instead of just... well, doing what Sony did on the Forsaken PC port, for example. 

Legitimate concern since Tears is probably using a slightly upgraded BotW engine. We’re seeing the same enemies and a couple of new ones, same models, same textures(not on everything of course),etc. BotW was definitely pushing the Wii U past its limits, and similarly with the Switch’s hardware. If I had to guess,…

Anytime someone says the graphics are going to be better on a switch game, my brain goes to “ok, what did you sacrifice for this?”  I find that after a few hours my appreciation for graphical quality falls away and performance better hold up.
