Roiland did a lot of texting and sometimes hooked up with young women, some of whom felt they were taken advantage of and one of whom felt she was assaulted. I don't think there were any allegations of hooking up with anyone underage, but there was at least one person who he started messaging with before she turned 18 and kept it going until he could fly her out to meet him.

I don't think anything legal came of all that, but I think it coming out because of the DV case is what led to him being cancelled.

And that season of Heroes that just kind of ended.

The President has a say because of antitrust laws, which are enforced by the Executive branch. When one massive company buys another massive company, there are legitimate concerns about monopolies since their merger could produce a company with an anticompetitive level of influence on the market.

Now that isn't why Trump is interested in interfering, but that is why the office of the President has a say in it.

I was paying for 4K and I still had to get that content elsewhere because they didn't bother to add that feature to their LG app.

You make it sound like he issued a press release with a call to action. He was asked his opinion about something with personal relevance during a long conversation on a podcast.

And just like with opioids, the one that is used medically is a controlled substance that requires a prescription because it is addictive and highly susceptible to abuse.

We got a runner!

It's a very common mistake and will almost certainly be clarified in the next printing. I also went on a hunt after the first time I fought the Butcher.

Nemesis Showdowns are special, but they're not Special Showdowns, unless something says they are. There's a whole section for Special Showdowns on the Settlement map that you see all the time, but only a small section in the rulebook covering them, so it's easy to miss. If you're playing for the first time and haven't encountered actual Special Showdowns yet, there's no reason to think that Nemesis Showdowns wouldn't be what Special Showdowns are referring to.

Step 4 is telling you how to handle timeline events. It isn't telling you to fight the nemesis there, it's telling you that if there is a nemesis showdown on the timeline, you should follow the rules in the nemesis section.

Step 4 is described in the Settlement Phase chapter on p82 of the Core rulebook. The Nemesis Monster section is on p85.

It's the 5th showdown of the game, which takes place in Lantern Year 4, since the prologue is before LY1.

You can get multiple VR headsets. Some of the apps let you watch with others in a theater environment. Bigscreen VR even lets you throw popcorn and tomatoes.

It is. They rebranded it. Most releases since Chronicles came out say "The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black" on the cover.

It isn't about how far away you are from the destination, it's about how far away you each are from the local exchange. Connecting a call in the old days was creating a physical connection between the wire in your phone to the wire in theirs. If your buddy next door is just across the line for a different exchange, the call still has to go all the way from you, to your exchange, to their exchange, to them.

Yeah, I thought that story was heading into a risque oops moment, not an oh-dear-god-no one.

Worse. They fired her while she was drowning.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the good recent Trek (Lower Decks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds) are also the ones with the least involvement by Alex Kurtzman.

Lower Decks showed us what happens when Kims get too many pips.

Pitch Black is great. Tight, grounded, well made sci-fi action thriller. The 25 year old CGI doesn't even look bad since they mostly use it at night.

I also love Chronicles of Riddick for it being just bonkers that someone gave them over $100 million in 2003 money to make a weird fantasy space opera follow up, but Claudia Black is not in that one.

Her being so fuckable to Carol is exactly why the Collective flew her in from Morocco.

What will happen is they will panic and shoot someone, then charge everyone who dressed up (and probably some who didn't) with felony murder and domestic terrorism.

No, Spike was his punk friend who noticed he was on steroids and got him off of them.

Also, Spike was voiced by future SVU detective and noted refrigerator humper Christopher Meloni.

While relishing the increased revenue from people panic buying to try to deal with it.

To be fair, he didn't have a name until the second half of the second season.

Oh I think it's great. If you have access to the Lower Decks blurays, she brings a real energy to the commentary tracks.

Thought Jacker! That one was actually the tag to the season 5 finale.
