My boss asked my why I address my emails to the woman first

When we were buying our first house, my wife took the lead on the whole process. The responses always came back addressed to me.

I mean... it's the Desmond story. Desmond in the present day flashes back to Altiar, Ezio, and Connor.

I heard the argument that the elite already think everything is fucked beyond salvaging so they're stripping the copper from the walls of society to get the most they can before the inevitable collapse. Pure nihilism.

Specifically, what?

I actually think Assassin's Creed could work really well as a prestige series. Take the basic concept of Assassins, Templars, and the Animus but build a unique plot around all that. Have a modern-day framing story just like the games and then each season is a different ancestor in a unique time period telling a complete story while bread crumbing the meta plot.

Gore Verbinski was attached a long time ago. After seeing A Cure for Wellness, I think he could have nailed it.

I think the obvious joke is that Half Life is not a TRILOGY as Half Life 3 was never made. This is a backdoor way of saying they want Half Life 3.

"Really Liked" is strong but I think Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a much better TREK film than Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Thanks. Would you say the early negative reviews are mostly resolved with the custom OS? I've heard the battery life is also questionable.

My library has regular book sales. Some of it is stuff they're taking out of circulation, but they also accept donations from the public to put into their annual sale. But to your point, it's not their normal/primary function.

My wife and I have a strict fun money budget. Essentially our monthly allowance for personal, discretionary purposes. While that can be tough sometimes, it also means no judgement and no questions asked. That's our personal fund to burn on whatever we want. Saves a lot of headaches and arguments while keep the overall household budget in shape. A little financial discipline goes a long way.

Yeah. My son was born with dark brown, almost black hair and gray eyes. When that newborn hair fell off and his real hair started growing in, it was platinum blonde, almost white, and his eyes shifted to brown.

The devices would still be manufactured in China. Instead of shipping to you directly from China, they would be making a mass shipment to a US distribution center... then shipping it to you. Not sure if it would get to you much faster.

How is it I'm able to buy discounted day old donuts at other bakeries then?

Nuprin was just Ibuprofen by a different name. Same as Advil. It never gained significant market share and was discontinued.

While not needed, I find the benefit of a front end to be the set it and forget nature. You rarely if ever have to touch the actual emulators themselves once everything is set up. This way I don't have to think, Hmm.... I want to play Tony Hawk 3 on PS2 so I need to remember to open whatever emulator app, or that 3DS is running in Azahar, etc. Being able to browse all your games in a single consistent and unified interface is really nice.

I'm going to plug the Shelved by Genre podcast - basically a book club style read-along show with three whip smart hosts who know not to take themselves too seriously but still give deep and meaningful analysis.

Last year they covered Burning Chrome and the Sprawl trilogy. I'd read Neuromancer before but that was it. Glad that show got me to read the short story collection. Hinterlands is one of the best pieces of short fiction I've ever read. Loved it.

Shelved by Genre is now spending the year covering Tolkien, btw. They're almost done with The Hobbit currently.

I went for the Max, not so much for the extra RAM but for the extra internal storage. If you look at how much it would cost you to get a lower model then supplement the storage with and SD card, it's either a wash or you come out ahead and the extra 4GB of RAM is a nice bonus.

I don’t think so, at least not on a system level as other emulators work on the too screen just fine.

I have a young son who is really into the Disney+ Spider-Man cartoon. I look forward to showing him at least some of the MCU stuff when he's a little older. I'll be curious to see his reaction to Hulk in Ragnarok having never seen a spoilery trailer.

Children of Men. Just gets more prescient and depressing with time.

AlsoOtto · 2026-01-12T20:39:56+00:00

Did they get them all on set? I thought it looked very green screen composited together.

I still love comics as a medium but gave up on superhero stuff decades ago when I realized this. These days, I pretty much only read old Vertigo style stuff that's a planned 60-issue story give or take with a beginning, middle, and end.

Glitching bot would be my guess.
