I agree with the other three, but this is wrong about “narcissists”. “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” is a diagnosis, but calling someone a “narcissist” isn’t. That’s just a description of someone’s personality. It’s much older than the diagnosis, going back to the Greek myth of Narcissus. The diagnosis doesn’t get to co-opt the much older usage.
A recent entry, but I adore Ms. Marvel. She’s very much like Peter Parker when he was introduced—teenager, dealing with real-world problems as well as superhero problems—except that she’s also a Pakistani immigrant living in New Jersey, so she has culture clash issues to deal with on top of the rest. The best parts of her story are when her superhero life intersects with her family/friends life, just like Peter Parker back in the 60s.
Not a fan of the new “she’s actually a mutant and being drawn into the Krakoa X-Men storylines”. I love the Krakoa X-men storylines but I think they don’t fit with her very grounded character.
Honestly? Just their basic tacos. Maybe the Doritos version if they still have those. But just get a couple of the hard tacos with some Fire sauce. If you like those, you may like other things on the menu; if you don’t, you probably won’t like any of it. They’re Taco Bell distilled.
On one hand, Roxxon are badly overplayed as villains. On the other hand, I’ve enjoyed every Al Ewing work I’ve ever read. So on balance, sure, I’ll check it out.
I recently heard the announcement of a remake for this anime, which made me go watch the original. The art isn’t phenomenal, but it has such comfortable, cozy vibes… Here’s the description from AniList:...
This is an obnoxious answer, but Gordon Ramsay yells so much about everyone else getting Beef Wellington wrong, I’d like to have his Beef Wellington, but made by him under the exact same conditions where the contestants got it wrong, with no special privileges.
There was a show at the NYC Fringe Festival, “I can haz cheeseburger, the musical”, that focused on the walrus’s quest to find his bucket. It wasn’t good exactly, but it was very of its moment.
See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.
The “Louise isn’t really a good archer” thing was telegraphed by the camera cuts right at the beginning, but setting that aside I really dug the episode.
A hearty dumpling that originated from the scenic valleys of Nepal's Newar community, this delicacy has stolen hearts and conquered taste buds across the globe.
A Nepalese restaurant moved into a former Indian restaurant’s space in my neighborhood just last year, and I got to try a momo for the first time. It’s delicious. Anyone who has the opportunity, go and try them.
Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.
Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.
If I love “unreliable shifting cities” narratives, like Dark City, Fallen London and the City of Saints and Madmen books, what similar kinds of settings might I like?
Well, I was just talking about Dark City in my own sub thread, and to me it’s very similar to Brazil in tone and imagery. Not sure how much of it is practical effects but given the era I’m guessing that most of it is.
