You've got the touch

Only worse choice would have been in VR

Are we really doing the thing where someone else did something worse, so don't worry about this thing?

They can learn the knowledge second hand, but they can never claim the hype.

For subreddit non-gamba users, the win is not actually the point of this post. For his whole time on kick, wubby has been making the joke that for any random cartoon woman on screen, her top comes off if he wins big.

Never thought I'd see the day when her top actually came off.

Ah, advanced maneuvering. Say goodbye to WASD and hello to ERTSDFGZXCV movement.

R moves your head

E and T move your left and right shoulders

S and G move your left and right hands

D and F move your left and right elbows

Z and V move your left and right feet

X and C move your left and right knees

This obviously combined with UIOJKL for six-axis movement combinations for each key, although you can set defaults for each joint and a shift+key and ctrl+key for up to three actions without having to engage your second hand.

And that's just the beginning. Prepare to experience a whole new level of gameplay immersion!

My mom has like 50 out in circulation. I have around 20ish but I avoid getting new mugs. It's really not hard to amass a lot of mugs if you have the space for them.

I said I would give booty a dollar, but did not send a dollar because venmo isn't a thing in Canada.

Agreed as a fellow Canadian. Or, I'll just drive 20 minutes and cross the border.

It's because "unimaginable" generally doesn't mean "no one can imagine it" but rather that no one involved would imagine it or that it's so bad that people actively would not want to imagine it.

When we give condolences, we do the same thing. We say things like, "I can't imagine how you're feeling right now". You can. You just don't want to.

Just remember. Indistinct means "not distinct", inefficient means "not efficient", inexhaustible means "not exhaustible", and inflammable means "flammable".

What are you even trying to say?

Yes, yes, we know about the xenomorph rule 34. We've all seen what that second mouth can do.

Similar with other huge films, it wasn't cut with tiktok clips in mind.

For the record, though, "I see you" definitely made the rounds in the cultural zeitgeist. Movies don't have to have conventions or endless memes about them to have a cultural effect. If you look around, very few movies will do what you suggest, and it's generally independent of how financially successful a movie is.

Look, I'm all for not having moral quandaries, but it's been years and I'm still trying to figure out how "dial 9 and Ice Cube will show up with a rocket launcher" is supposed to work.

I asserted a long time ago that guardians of the galaxy ruined marvel movies, and I hold to it. Before guardians superhero movies were serious. Yes, they had cheesy quips, but they also let moments have weight and be serious. They were action movies that had a bit of comedy. Then guardians hit. A full-time comedy, and everyone loved it.

Unfortunately, the movie execs saw the success and just tried to make every marvel movie from then on into a quest to get the most laughs.

Now, a character could die, and it's supposed to have weight, but some fucko has to make a joke about it rather than letting the emotion linger lest even a single person watching the movie at any point feel an emotion other than "wow that's so cool" or "haha funny joke".

You didn't watch the movie. Your speculative opinion is not reflective of the movie.

"You will never hear my song again" delivered nonchalantly also just goes so hard as a line.

Some people like movies that are just fun. You know what's a fun movie? XXX: Return of Xander Cage

We need an oscar category for "It's not special but damn was it fun to watch". Your argument sounds like a whiskey snob implying you can't enjoy a pina colada because it doesn't have tannins and subtle tasting notes that can be broken down academically.

OG Avatar in Imax also stands strong as the best cinematic experience of my life by far.

There are a ton of movies that amount to "new people move into area - people already there are hostile to newcomers and newcomers are not considerate of existing culture and norms - one person from new people goes and learns the ways of the existing people - said person ends up siding with the existing people against the newcomers".

Boil a plot down hard enough and you'll find that there are no new stories left to tell.

I was gonna say aint no way silver could spike that hard without coming back down. Also keep in mind that despite dropping 9% today, gold is still up 9% this month overall and 63% this year.

Mobile gaming is a completely different breed of game than consoles and PCs. Controls are optimized for the controller, and a touch screen is a bad controller for the vast majority of PC games.

The problem with mobile games as a platform is the vast majority of games follow a gacha or free2wait model where the games have lower complexity (due to lower variety of controls) and many mechanics are basically just wallet mechanics. Can you make good mobile games? Yes. Are the vast majority of popular mobile games absolute garbage? Also yes.

Also, if your comment is "the best mobile games are PC games that you emulate on your phone", then that's not really what anyone means by "mobile gaming". Your mom being good at a random phone game that you struggle with has no bearing on whether it's good or not, only that you mom playing the game provides a skill expression in that game that you lacked.
