Something hilarious about a scalper calling themselves a secondary distributor. There is a such thing as a secondary distributor in games distribution. It is not a scalper. Trying to make himself sound like the middleman companies who sell to shops not large enough to deal with manufacturers.

I always go back to my Saudi roommate who refused to stop driving drunk. Even after our other roommates and I explained the danger to himself and others, and the legal consequences, he kept repeating, "it's cool, I'm Saudi." Ass knew that he would be pulled out with no consequences if he fucked up.

I think my biggest problem with the concept of Roko's Basilisk and all these AI apocalypse fears is, why would some kind of machine god care about us? Why wouldn't it peace out and leave in search of new data or something?

One thing discussion of Switch 2 ports and Steam Deck compatibility has taught me is that I’m too old to evaluate video games objectively. My first video game on a portable system looked like this. Elden Ring at 30 FPS feels like something a wizard did.

A few hundred stayed after the #LAFC game for the Special Olympics Unified team match, myself among the fans who stayed. Big ups to both the team playing, and the D9 Ultras for making sure they had suppoters.
LAFC and the Portland Timbers special Olympics teams playing the opening moments of their match.

So, I will be seeing this in theaters. Potentially multiple times. Also glad this means the home video version will be in circulation again. I had been looking for an affordable copy for years.

The more I hear about this movie's premise, and the creative decisions made, the more I feel we lost the opportunity to hand the premise to Paul Verhoeven to do something special and weird with.

I do not particularly like Mark Millar as a writer, but when he wrote Civil War for Marvel, damn did he see the writing on the wall about the future of YouTube, reality TV, and live streaming.

Warhammer: The Old World has so many sweet models. It is really too bad that the regiment unit set up, and movement system, makes for a shit game.

After she lost, a lot of people were saying “oh I hope she learns from this, she still has a lot to give” etc. I hope these people now notice that she has instead refused to endorse the candidate who beat her and begun spewing lies blaming AIPAC, who actively opposed the winner!

This means that both the actor who plays Dani Rojas, and the player who was the inspiration for Dani Rojas, will be playing in the same league, and in the same state.

A lot of weird and bad takes involving Rogue, and her relationship with Magneto, come from every adaptation skipping her introduction as a villain. She is his age, and gained most of her powerset, along with getting de-aged, from draining Carol Danvers nearly to death.

I still find it funny when Image Comics and their creatives try to argue that they are a small indie publisher. You are up there with Marvel and DC.

People who have never met Native Americans are shocked to learn about the guy I went to high school and college with who hated Mexicans, and talked about how his people kept them out before the white man arrived. He also despised the term Native American because it made him sound like an immigrant.

The Odyssey movie is woke because one of its central themes and message is that the erosion and destruction of the social contract eventually leads to the downfall of civilization.

The Odyssey seems very timely as not just an adaptation of Homer's epic, but a warning about the degradation of social trust and norms.

His comments are being horribly misrepresented. He is saying the tech is here, it's not going away, and it is getting better. It's an honest call to evaluate It's use cases.

I have been told by people who worked in the marketing end of anime that the overseas licensors do not like how anime is sold in the USA. That discount bundles and boxsets particularly make them mad. CR's decisions make sense if you want to move the product focus to premium releases like in Japan.

Mr. Senters is putting it lightly. The US Women's National Team has the title for most Women's World Cups in history with 4. Germany, which has the second most, only has 2.

TIL that pokemon and one piece collectors think that Wizards reprints recent magic sets as needed, so magic players don't really have to deal with scalpers, is a sign the game is dying, and the fact magic is still the best selling card game does nothing to dissuade them.

His one season at LAFC was enough to make me a fan, and be very upset when they did not keep him for a second. I still feel they should have cut Giroud earlier, and kept Kei Kamara.
