Twitch hasn’t been about “doing it for fun” for years. Small streams are usually unwatchable because they are small for a reason. The key to quality is finding mid-range streamers - ones that are making enough money that they can afford to do it full time, put some production quality into their streams, and have…

and I’m evidently the last person to have Sprint

I agree that it’s a little disappointing to just see the Big 4 with Black Widow in tow... but I wasn’t expecting anything else. They could have gambled and had the main 5 characters of the Avengers be Wasp, Black Panther, Vision, Ant Man, and She-Hulk, but that could be considered a risk by the marketing team, or it…

Imagine somebody told you what the next Geico commercial would be.

Yep. I’m a big guy, and most of the time I can’t/won’t eat all of what I’m served at most sit down restaurants. My rule now that I’m trying to not be such a big guy anymore is that I generally eat half, and it’s almost always more than enough.

we get the MCU heroes again.

I didn’t know much about Black Mirror before I watched it, other than basic premise... and I liked National Anthem well enough, but was surprised it was the first episode.  I appreciated that they just fuckin’ went for it, but I have suggested people skip it at first when recommending the show to others.

It’s fine as a horror film, I guess, but as a Black Mirror episode I didn’t see the point in it.  If there was some kind of “lesson” or something from it, I haven’t caught it.

I understand that people don’t like National Anthem because it makes them uncomfortable but that’s exactly the point.

This is exactly what it feels like here.  The amount of consternation over a car length or two is insane.  I don’t know what the fix is, besides people just magically realizing they are part of a greater whole and that almost nobody is A Lot More Important.

Like Drew, my left ear is my phone ear because I am also deaf in my right ear, though from birth - not from any injury.

Yeah, the ego thing here prevents most people from doing things correctly.  Zipper merging is but one of the many things that are rendered impossible because everybody thinks they are the only person on the road at any given time that matters.

Zipper merging isn’t a thing here, though the local DOT is trying to force the situation. It 100% is a better option, reduces slowdowns, all that jazz.

Could be that I just don’t get it yet either. I keep getting C/D ranks while the team has an S+ rank.

Agreed. I have a rooting interest (Blues fan), and while it was clearly a blown call, should have been a penalty, and it sucks that an otherwise hard-fought game will be remembered solely for this... fuck the Bruins, and fuck Boston. It couldn’t have happened to a better team and fanbase.

The only things they really share are loot, and even that’s a bit of a stretch.  Otherwise Darksiders 2 is more in the vein of Zelda than anything else.

My question is why won’t any place actually make the thing spicy when I request it?

But all that bullshit doesn’t do anything to further anybody’s cause except for assholes who like to consume that kind of content. It’s tabloid trash in a sports journalism mask. You’re saying exactly what SomethingBrewing is, except you think it’s good that way.

Yep.  I’m 90% sure I’ll be watching this on Youtube instead of playing it.

I think many conservatives who take up this fight have often demonstrated “care” in the former sense without needing to “care” in the latter sense.
