I dunno. If someone’s building a PC, they are most probably using it for more than just chrome-level stuff. And for me at least, if I’m going to spend the time and money on new components, I’m going to get the biggest and best that I can afford/justify. The higher end comments are going to fair much better as tech develops further along, and I consider them an investment into not going through the same process again in just a few years time.
I mean, for one, that’s the only metric you chose to measure games by, so I’m not sure what else you would expect. Should we reply as if you used an entirely unmentioned metric?
Second, I specifically mentioned “many”, not you in particular. That’s not strawmaning, that’s talking about a general trend.
You’re getting downvoted unfairly here. Yes, it’s the “right” choice to maximize the time with your kids when you can as those moments will go by faster than we think they will, but it’s also not the wrong choice to make sure you take care of yourself. Every parent is going to make their own decisions, and nobody’s “doing it wrong” as long as the child is reasonably happy and healthy (to the extent uncontrollable forces allow). We’re all just getting along here.
Wth are you talking about? No other person or company is held to that “standard”. This is just circle jerking over “sticking it” to a corporation over the tiniest possible thing they could be punished for. It’s absurd.
While I’d be interested to see what Moffat would come up with, I’m not convinced it can be replicated. The West Wing was such a perfect mix of everything - cast, writing, timing, etc. It was lightning in a bottle that’ll be nigh impossible to match. Even Sorkin never got there with Studio 60 or Newsroom. I love both shows, but they never got to the same level as TWW, particularly in popularity.

Isn’t this why a lot of companies have essentially mandatory vacation for their accountants? Gives a baked in reason to have another set of eyes on the practices of the department.
Could be worth looking into Misophonia. Basically it’s an irrational anger response to specific noises that vary person to person. I don’t know enough about it to say how it can be dealt with, but it may be something you could find a specialist for.

That was nice! Wasn’t a huge fan of the musical number, but it was fine. Feel like I’m still struggling to get a good feel for 15’s vibe, but it seems good overall. Ruby and her family are great. Mavity is still a thing and I wonder if “Coincidence” is going to be a theme with these two.
Also, that stinger! Some character that breaks the 4th wall? That’s new. Was it her hand at the end of the last episode? I’m going over the scenes with her in my head and just have more questions XD

I’m wondering the same thing! 4th wall breaking character? Interesting stuff! I wonder if she was the person that picked up the tooth in the last episode. Either way, I’ve got the feeling this isn’t the last time we’ll see her.
Tbf, they called this out as it’s own technology. The witches had song technology, and these goblins have coincidence/“string” technology. Seems in the same spirit to me.
Also, Unit wouldn’t have been able to fix the timeline or save the babies with a laser.
Please, before posting, we’ve seen a lot of these post saying X instance is down right now, or “is X instance down?”. The answer is probably, but it’s probably because Lemmy v0.19 dropped and it includes some downtime, upwards of an hour for all the migrations to finish....
In minor defense of DH4, which I agree goes beyond the premise of the first 3, it does kind of follow that John would be better able to do some crazier things after going through the events of the first 3 movies. He still shouldn’t be indestructible, but his experiences definitely qualify him as badass at that point. I also still like DH4, so I wanna justify that somewhat, hah. DH5 is just not good, though.
I wanted to say that’s not what ‘anti-hero’ means, but I kind of see where you’re coming from. In my mind, an anti-hero does terrible stuff to achieve good goals (Deadpool being a prime example), while John McClaine does do some pretty vicious things, but is more or less just trying to survive, not because he wants to do the terrible things.
