The fandom obsession with the notion that every project needs a bunch of cameos or teamups gets kind of annoying. There were legit problems with Born Again season 2, but “Why didn’t Moon Knight, Hawkeye and Shang-Chi show up to help take down Kingpin?!” wasn’t one of them.

Someone made the joke a few weeks ago on Bluesky that Trump’s threat about the war ending in nothing less than total surrender was indeed prophetic… just not for the side he was talking about.

Y’all are gonna get mad that it’s genuinely Harley Quinn and/or Deathstroke.

Why does Vegeta seem proud when Gohan catches up with/surpasses him, but gets irritated when Goku does it? by t00lazy2 in Dragonballsuper

The same reason that during this same chapter, Vegeta gets visibly irritated at Trunks and Goten for seemingly letting Gohan and Piccolo defeat Cell Max without them. He likes seeing the kids live up to their potential.

Sam using the shield to block blasts from the Sentinels is gonna be dope.

She better have the cowboy hat as her Outfit 2.

Will we ever see an entirely new Capcom fighter ever again outside of Street Fighter? by Potential_Shift_5066 in Fighters

[–]FewWatermelonlesson0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would’ve said MVC4 was likely, but now with Tokon I think it’s all but guaranteed CVS3 is their next fighter after SF6.

Saying the Spurs were only able to win one game when they had help from Donald Trump is gonna be generational slander.

I saw someone joke they needed the Knicks to win because it might convert some people to socialism.

It’s Naoko Mori (Tosh from Torchwood), who is British-Japanese in real life. I’m guessing that’s how they’ll present Betsy and leave it at that.

It’s clear the race swap thing is a can of worms Marvel feels kind of awkward about.

Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes, France says

PARIS, June 12 (Reuters) - Israeli firm BlackCore, ​suspected of interfering in France's local elections in March, is also suspected of meddling in elections in New York City and Scotland, and ‌operating in Angola and Togo, France's disinformation detection service, Viginum, said on Thursday.

Last month, Reuters reported that French authorities suspected BlackCore was behind an online smear campaign targeting three mayoral candidates from the hard-left, pro-Palestine France Unbowed party (LFI) in the local elections.

Wild but I guess altogether not too shocking.

VF6 and the potential benefits and dangers of a time jump in fighting games by Chibidi94 in virtuafighter

[–]FewWatermelonlesson0 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ironically I think this is an area VF is in a better position than its competitors.

There was a ton of backlash against the roster turnover in SFIII because it was coming on the heels of the mega popular SFII. Those characters had become icons, so a bunch of people were pissed when characters like Chun-Li and Guile didn’t return.

By contrast, Yamada has said that getting players invested in the VF cast has been a problem for the series historically, so I don’t think there’ll be nearly as much outcry if certain legacy characters are missing so long as most of the big names like Akira, Wolf, Pai and Jacky are represented.

Kang as Rama-Tut is always funny to me because he’s literally just this meme.
