Tendi has a main account that's all emojis and an alt where she's a masterful troll and manages to end all online arguments with the other side crying in shame.
I'm like that a lot too with anything in space, but Star Wars clicked for me when someone reminded me it was fantasy in space, not science fiction. Ahsoka really leaned hard into the fantasy and keeping that in mind helped me with suspension of disbelief.
In other words, Star Wars technology is so different and advanced, we might as well consider it magic and not question when it goes against our normal understanding of physics.
Ed Currie of PuckerButt Pepper Company in South Carolina said his team stabilized Pepper X about a decade ago, but only released it now because no one had been able to beat his previous record.
I watch/listen to Archer when I'm going to sleep. The coma seasons grew on me. A lot of great recurring jokes and references.
I will say this last season was absolutely the best of the post coma seasons. I don't know if Adam Reed was more engaged since it was the last season (he had stepped back after the coma seasons) or if they just took more time to refine the episodes and jokes, but it just felt like everything clicked. Kind of made me sad it was the last season, but great that we're getting a special finale!
I love horror movies especially the cheesey type of horror movies that are so stupid that they are great. I do prefer the ones that would always appear on SyFy, but any other type (that is not like the ones on SyFy and look a lot better) is fine too.
State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. Accounts belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or their prominent staff may be labeled. We will also add labels to posts that share links to state-affiliated media websites.
Conspiracy theories aside, AFAIK there's no evidence that any level of the US government exercises control over NPR.
My rule of thumb is if it's spammed all over YouTube, then It's going to be shit in some way. Temu, TikTok, Raid Shadow Legends, Better Help, that stupid cereal brand that was advertised for a while, etc.
It used to be good. They went downhill at some point in the last 5-10 years. Their bread sticks always taste like store bought now and they got rid of my favorite meal (the steak gorgonzola Alfredo).
John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.
Pisses me off that CEOs never get fired for their bullshit and get to "retire" or "resign" like they didn't just make the most boneheaded decision that severely hurt the company.
There really needs to be some organizational structure where the CEOs have the power to make the decisions they make, but the employees have the power to punish and fire them when they do shit like this. No golden parachutes for them!
Yes, I understand that's the current structure. I'm saying there needs to be a new structure where CEOs can't make greedy decisions with impunity. Clearly the idea that the board is supposed to prevent that doesn't work because this story is all too common.
It had a little bit of popularity back when it was first posted. I definitely remember several meme posts with it. I think it lost popularity because the guy helping his brother with the computer meme took over the same category of memes.
I have no idea how many runs I started in BG3. Every few moments I report a bug. Every update the game seemingly gets worse. Decisions don’t work, pathing is awful, after the latest update attacks no longer connect properly and my character claims not to be able to attack with a clear line of sight and so on. I have never...
But it's not an opinion. You're judging a show based on images and saying you don't like show because everyone else likes the show and keeps resharing those images.
An opinion would be "I watched this show and it wasn't that funny."
I'm usually the same way with open world games like The Witcher, GTA, RDR, etc, but BG3 puts the story enough on the rails to keep me focused while still letting me make critical choices and enough freedom to explore so it feels amazing when I find little secrets or Easter eggs.
My buddy has played through it twice with 40 hour runs each.
I'm still on my first playthrough at about 70 hours and close to wrapping up act 3.
Some games need huge QoL updates. I'd like to see a balance of backwards compatibility along with the ability to toggle QoL settings. Give the player a choice to play OG or with modern QoL mechanics
Don’t be a lurker, post and comment!
