I don’t know... “Destiny” has a real “go back and change the past” type vibe. Read more

His name is Shia LaBeouf.
I hope it’s not a meta-verse thing. I don’t really feel like Zuckerberg fits into the Indy lore.
Better than I was expecting.
Indiana Jones and the Cloud of Complaint
Do you think if Indy had to crash a plane in the film Ford would have asked to do his own stunts?
One wonders how stupid the ideas people at the big tech companies are. Read more
Not to be pedantic, but I think SMB3 was implying the game was a play, not a movie (hence why there’s drop shadow on the foliage and whatnot, like in the image you linked).
Despite the shout out to the girders of the OG Donkey Kong, I can wait for streaming.
My (totally baseless) guess is that the platforming level bit is part of some hero training montage, the Smash Bros bit is from after that, where Mario and Peach go to multiple kingdoms to find allies. The fight with DK is some ritual fight to win Kong’s kingdom’s aid, and an opportunity for Mario to show what he’s… Read more
It looks like Luigi is the damsel in distress for this which is hilarious.
This is exactly why I don’t use voice assistants to buy things. If I say “Alexa, buy dog food,” how do I know that it’ll be the right brand, the right quantity, the right ingredients, the right price? Sure, maybe it’ll buy the same one that you bought before, but sometimes companies update the same listing with… Read more
I think one of the big points of friction with voice enabled e-commerce is that people really don’t want to conduct interactions in which they will spend money via a technology that feels still prone to miscommunication and an experience that feels like it lacks consent and confidence. As opposed to the written… Read more
I hope that the Picard-gives-us-TNG-revival trend continues into DS9 and Voyager. Everything old is ripe for revival in the streaming wars, and Paramount has a metaphorical-and-maybe-literal mountain of Trek to mine. Read more
We are very much aligned in out thoughts. I enjoyed the heck out of SNW, and Lower Decks is amazing. I’m even into the later seasons of Discovery (it’s the guy who got turned into a newt of ST... it got better). Read more
I really need the Hopium from the original TNG series, not whatever the fudgehole is going on in Picard. I know the Federation wasn’t perfect, but the way it has been portrayed in Picard has been piss poor, awful, no good, and disappointing. Read more
I generally take stuff like that as “Break news! Working actor wants more work!” but with Frakes spending the vast majority of his time directing tv, it makes it seem a little more plausible. Read more
I love TNG, but Picard has been so bad. Season 3 was written and filmed back-to-back with Season 2 so it’s likely to be more of the same. Maybe they’ll set them up and the SNW team can take over the future direction, but I don’t have much hope for what is done with them on Picard.
