I assume Magiccon is a con for the game magic and not a bunch of half rate magicians doing card tricks

Watching A24 piss off every community that once championed it in various ways opened the doors for perhaps one of the easiest wins ever for anyone else

Sometimes I see a clip of a game or someone will post a story beat and I will think "wow, I would really like to play that" and then I remember that I probably really don't and go back to staring at a blank wall

My favorite part about reddit is being in any form of game/movie/story community that revolves around a mystery and someone being wildly, wildly wrong. It is hilarious.

This is no different then how the only jobs that have mandatory drug testing before you work somewhere are minimum wage. As soon as you break beyond a certain amount of money, that all goes out the window.

These chumps are constantly teasing shit like this because 1) they don't know the ending yet and 2) they don't really make movies, they make teases for the next project

I have stayed quiet on NFL takes post Eagles beatdown but my feelings this year are that the eagles have a lot of glaring holes at just about every spot and group. None of that solves my confusion at the existence of Andy Dalton. He couldn't do even basic aspects of running the offense.

I remember people looking into the artificial price increases put onto video game auctions but that raincoat pikachu, even if it is a real bid someone paid for, is absolutely a grift to increase overall sales of other cards that seller or sellers have.

One aspect evangelism is that if people understood what you understood they could also be enlightened. In this case, it's leap in their minds is that a thing exists so of course people would want to use it. Why wouldn't they? Also you're dumb.

I fully understand the idea of being annoyed at TKOs nonsense counter programming but wolves shouldn't concern themselves with the opinions of sheep. How they choose to ineptly do what they do is irrelevant.

I tend to not think particularly high of Dwayne sometimes but his Pac video was actually very nice.

AI "games" are made by people that don't understand the premise of iteration. They don't know why or how anything works and the iteration is telling a prompt to change something they don't understand. It's the total removal of functional iteration. Games are many decisions made through familiarity.

I think it's honestly super weird for John Stewart to even entertain the waitress. Who cares what she says? He didn't kill him and there was time in between the murder and him punching him. It just doesn't really ring true for the character and makes little sense for the plotting.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

It's depressing that a human being could say this and think that is either a real or acceptable answer to "Why do the Mets always stink"

I just saw that USC radio broadcast of the Dante Moore hit and that old white dude with a mustache is basically a full blown liar to the point that it makes everything he says totally irrelevant. I bet every game USC wins by 40 points and are national champions.

It's all but guaranteed that an illiterate like Schmitt had this prepared by some kind of underling that was jamming things through AI. There is no basis in reality or fact, as they chase their tail towards the lie they want to tell. It's framed like it's real because that's what they told the LLM.

100% an aside but it does make me curious how the "Pac refuses to lose" story got out. Meltzer directly posted it at the time. AEW said there were creative differences but it never made sense to me that Pac would refuse to lose at a show like this (especially when you can just DQ if that were true).

Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

I saw that Pokemon guy talking about personal hygiene and this is uniform across every convention, competition or event: please clean yourself. Wear deodorant of some kind. Be considerate of other human beings. It's often hot on the floor or wherever and no one wants to smell you.

I fully understand the desire for comparison's that people have: it grounds something unfamiliar in the familiar to make it slightly easier to digest. I don't love making them unless there is clear inspiration though when it comes to individual performers. Robert Pattinson is not Nic Cage.

I never want to give bad opinions oxygen, especially from publications that are actively harmful to society. To put it lightly though, this is the most insular possible opinion piece, designed to create an air of officiality and further strengthen the paid by AI lobbies claims. It is false.

So I was unaware that the Endgame re-release had a scene that was IMAX (and their knock-off IMAX) because they didn't actually promote that. Here's the official trailer, from Disney/Marvel. At no point does it mention the additional clips. youtu.be/L2NAh3CIdig
