Sounds good on paper but in the 80s/90s the US people were told 401ks are better than pensions. Now in order to retire we all have to cheer on non-stop expansion of corporations or we can never retire.

Yes it is possible because it has happened. I'm not an expert, but I believe survival rates are connected more to duration than G force. If the body becomes unable to circulate blood and regulate itself for a long enough period of time, it dies.
That's a low bar imo. I watched all of the Super anime and it was mostly okay with a sprinkle of a cool scene every like... 20 episodes. Of the entire universal tournament arc, only the finales of Goku vs Kefla and Goku/Frieza vs Jiren were hype for me. Vegito vs Zamasu was cool too, but the rest of that fight was botched (a spirit sword? jfc). I'm in the minority probably, but I won't watch the Super anime again when it continues; I'm sticking to the manga.
Good to know on the animation front and thanks for the info. I don't think good animation can save what's become glaringly soulless production in the anime, but again, I'm trying to be open-minded and I'll be glad to watch if I hear Daima's good. Let's hope Daima has some more heart put into it so it reaches the levels of quality as the Super manga.
There are over 1000 Pokemon at this point. There's bound to be some level of similarity here and there. Gamefreak even designed Pokemon after other creatures, so it just seems somewhat silly to point a finger.
Sony appears to be refunding customers who own the PlayStation 4 digital version of The Last of Us 2 and who bought the PlayStation 5 remaster at full price.
The game a year studios consistently end up with cookie cutter nonsense.
Pokemon became pure garbage once Gamefreak was required to work on HD hardware. The franchise was already heading downhill since X/Y from a gameplay perspective but Gamefreak's ineptitude became very apparent when they were asked to produce on the Switch at the same rapid pace they historically have.
My bank has a setting that allows an auto-transfer from my savings account in the event of an overdraft in my checking. Or at least it did. They either removed the feature without saying anything or charge the fee anyway. Banks are predators.

Not sure how much I'd identify the US as a progressive society, but they are on the brink of falling into the same trap as Iran. The loud conservatives voting straight red ticket use the same talking points and spout the same bull shit as the Iran gov and terrorist orgs.

A clam shell Switch --without Joycon drift-- that plays my digital Switch library and features better graphical hardware is all I want. Doesn't need to be a revolution, but it needs to play more games than the Switch currently can.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is ridiculed for dismissing the groundwork of The Force Awakens, but it’s a great sequel that continues the story properly. Here’s why....
There are a lot of things I really love about TLJ and overall it gets a lot of unnecessary hate, and usually a lot of the arguments are not well constructed beyond "I didn't like it". The main three gripes I hear about it are: a) Finn's side story was unnecessary (which, sure - maybe. I could see both sides of that argument so won't fight about it) b) Luke was nerfed from his Legends persona (arguably, was a fantastic decision) c) the immediate death of some characters.
Legends Luke's power is stupid and god-like. At one point he walks on the surface of a black hole, which is absolute trash fan fiction. Legends makes a very poorly/quickly trained Jedi into a Master and the absolute strongest being in the universe, who is so powerful that he basically isn't human anymore. It makes for a very boring character, similar to Superman. TLJ makes Luke into a believable character, considering his background and what's happened to him since we last saw him. 30 years is a long time and he's seen some shit - all without a lot of the proper Jedi training that other Jedi received since they were children.
As for the deaths of Phasma and Snoke: who cares? The main reason for them to be around was to be monoliths for Finn and Kylo Ren to overcome. They weren't interesting characters otherwise and we find out why Snoke wasn't developed further in the next movie. Also, Kylo Ren should be the focus of a movie in the Skywalker saga, not the newbie Snoke. Removing him was a good choice. Finn's monolith being removed gives him an opportunity to move to a new phase in the next movie, which was then not utilized by JJ. Furthermore, Phasma was supposed to be the next Boba Fett: just a marketable character who was pretty boring in the original trilogy but looked cool so his action figure sold well. TLJ does a very sensible thing overall: It takes unnecessary characters and writes them out of an already overcrowded character list.
TLJ also examined what went wrong with The Force Awakens and fixes it: namely that TFA is so safe that it leans into a boring rehash of ANH. TLJ at least had the guts to do something different and take the franchise in another direction, one SW sorely still needs thanks to JJ and Disney's refusal to do something different. So much of SW in the last 2 decades has been incredibly safe - except TLJ. It really goes to show how little originality and small vision JJ Abrams and Disney have as creatives that they couldn't figure out how to handle TRoS, which is arguably the absolute worst SW film - and outperforming AotC in that regard is truly impressive.
Last point, the last 20 or so minutes of TLJ really understands the origin of SW: Japanese samurai/ronin sword duels. It's also visually beautiful.

"Introducing a remake of a classic. We've updated everything you love about it - including completely changing the story to include time traveling and timeline altering ghosts to provide the most fresh experience. Also we've refused to tone down the racist stereotypes and boob physics."
Kind of seems silly to buy any game developed by Sonic Team these days. They are either half-baked ideas (Sonic with a sword? Sonic as a werewolf?) or glitchy messes with repetitive, cheap gameplay (Frontiers, Lost World). They seem to rarely learn from previous mistakes or grow as a development team, similar to Gamefreak. Both studios are sustained by name recognition.
I haven't heard much about it as of late and won't comment on its current state, but when it first came out it was a glitchy mess. Several reviewers mentioned how glitchy it was and docked it points. dunkey made a whole video showcasing glitches and odd design choices. It's a step in the right direction, so they deserve credit, but that doesn't change its shortcomings at launch.
