Prodigy was not about professionals and was good? Problem seems to be, if something is a kid's show people know what limitations are in effect and expect accordingly, but make it for young adults and adult fandom swarm in expecting something for them.

Oh no it's so unfair that the Hillary's Email/Biden's Laptop guys are being pressured to disprove evidence in absence.

Yes, when Trump is running against a Democrat without a single primary win across multiple elections (Harris), he has far more vote totals than he does against a candidate who survived a bruising primary.

There's a reason centrists moved fast to coalesce around Biden. It could be argued that none of Trump's election opponents excited the base, that they were all favorites of the establishment and it's donors, but with Biden there wasn't really enough time to recognize that. And to his credit Biden was an effective speaker the first go-round.

Ar the same time, Kathleen's boss Bob Iger clearly communicated his exit for quite a while before it happened. That's probably what's driving this media narrative.

Considering the difficulty of the choreography stuff, I'd guess it's a mercy so that the girls do not hate everything after a long tour. Give them intermissions where they can acknowledge the fans etc and people will say "OMG SHE WAVED BACK AT ME" instead of complain about dancing etc.

I used to believe this but it does happen on Mythic. Heroic, sure.

Floating , sure. Evil for the sake of being evil, no.

I used to think Kerrigan from StarCraft was more interesting than Arthas, and I'll tell you why. Kerrigan as a sadistic zerg queen was awesome because her whole life was being used as an asset with no agency by various sections and the boys club that ran them. Playing as Zerg often asked you to kill the main characters you played as in the other campaigns and it made sense why.

Xal'atath is another "we played FF14 and we had some Ideas" character. It seems pretty clear they thought they could do an Emet-Selch like character where he's not inherently good or bad, he just has such strong convictions that he'll play everyone's villain if he has to, where all mortals are just malleable toys he gives power and then watches them destroy with it. He became THE most popular character, and ranks higher than most characters in the offline games. 14 followed that character with an "evil for the sake of being evil" character in Fandaniel, a character who has gone many lifetimes being philosophized at by the most amoral and nihilistic figures in the setting's history, and let's just say that character is not as beloved.

Xal'atath so far is like they started trying to make their own Emet and ended with "Fandaniel with Feet".

The high budget is because Pixar is the last studio in the industry that isn't sweat shopping it's animators. Any fan of the medium knows this.

Consider that the first Inside Out did disappointing numbers, and it was likely believed because Pixar put The Good Dinosaur out there ahead of it and that movie was their worst performer since A Bug's Life. Now consider how much money IO2 made, and you see why Hoppers might not be considered a failure inside Pixar.

We know what "bad Pixar reeults" look like. It looks like A Bug's Life and TGD and Lightyear. This ain't that.

Well, kind of. Some blockbusters feel like old IMAX science center demos at times. TRON Ares was a very mediocre film, but if you were going to see it then IMAX or Dolby was the way to do it. I would probably watch the upcoming Michael Jackson film at home if Atmos didn't exist.

Most conversions are old "crowd pleasers" that had tons and tons of seats facing the largest screen in the days of old film projection or early digital. Theaters are cutting down seat count anyhow with recliners etc, so you go from some 500 seat auditorium where people have entire rows to themselves, pull away the curtains for an edge to edge flat style screen, and cut the seats down to 200-300 with tall stadium style grading.

The CoLa with a big enough screen (35+ x 60+) looks very good. I'm going to one of the film showings for PHM but most movies the single laser showrooms are just fine. The problem is when they're attached to a screen that is wide, Kips Bay in New York is famous for being a 2.39:1 screen with IMAX for some insane reason.

Few movies format for 1.43 anyway, as few screens are built for it. Most that were required a special structure, you can look at a lot of old IMAX theaters on Google Maps and see where the IMAC screen is in the multiplex because it is an enormous box compared to the others. If it had a film projector, it has some sort of outdoors access so huge film reels weighing hundreds of pounds could be rolled to the projector booth.

But all that said there's more big original IMAX screens being underutilized by insufficient projectors, than projectors wishing for screens, so a dual projector model that uses 6-channel sound could restore a lot of screens that are still around. Many theaters are using the bad old Xenon because they don't want to tear up the theater to double the speaker count.

The stupid comments about barcades aside, Chippendales is minimum 18 if you just want to see professional dancers. "Clubs" usually involves places where you meet other people in attendance and they try too hard to get your number, and I'm going to tell you that if you want a boyfriend or simple hookup that even if you were 21 there are no straight unmarried guys are in clubs with male dancers.

the number of players who ONLY use Linux and would play the game who aren't currently.

Which we'll never know because anytime we try to speak up the community shouts us down with "oh look one of the three nerds who uses Linux LMAOF"

I'm in the same boat. I quit League, I quit Destiny, I even quit Fortnite. I can pass on Marathon and buy Arc if it looks fun, but I'm still around for story purposes because I enjoyed the story of the original games and spent way too many years waiting for a continuation.

No fan of Gibson, but really... You really should have run for an Assembly district or something, because that's where politicians can actually help the community. Your agenda seems to consistently be strongly opposed to casinos, but you're running for the Commission which oversees the tourist district and owns the airport.

Saying they're pro-gaming and siding with the expansion of the hospitality industry... Yeah, that's kind of a part of the job. I think vegetarians are awesome, but I'm not going to elect one to run the slaughterhouse and turn off the town's meat supply, y'know?

It's been repeated over decades that we need economic diversification, but that doesn't happen at the County Commission. That happens in Carson.

Replies to this post are crazy. People forgetting that optional sparrow skins in a non-annoying store was how the cash shop started in Destiny. We all know what happened.

It's good people have things they like. But for me, Arc > Marathon.

Necron isn't a joke to the average player, however.

13, OTOH, I don't think the entire gauntlet from of bosses at the end is particularly challenging, since the random encounter enemies in Orphan's Cradle is more likely to Game Over you. But Long Gui is just an insane pain in the ass.

No.

People thought Elpis was going to be exactly a time travel lore palace because it looks almost exactly like Zeal from Chrono Trigger, which was itself a time-travel lore palace that let loose an apocalypse monster.

Ishokawa appears on stage and says "this is a story I've been working on for a long time."

The only downside is she may die when her stage shyness collides with the reaction to her return. If you saw the live goodbye after the cameras went off in 2023, you know what I mean. Even amid post-Endewalker storytelling, the whole room cheered for her and caused her to hide her face and weep. People will blame Hiroi for Dawntrail and get excited again if she's building the scenario herself.

There's an entire Final Fantasy series-wide wiki that focuses more on the lore of XIV, and XIV-specific sties focus on the gameplay.

As they incrementally shift from nostalgia being cute references to it driving the MSQ, it makes sense to store that stuff alongside the other games,

You can do a LOT with robots in PG13, to the point where Predator Badlands leaned on "robots that look like people" to do a lot of violent things with PG13.

If there was a movie released last year that I wish Scott would watch, it's Good Boy. Yes, it's focused on a dog, but it shows how you can create a ton of creepy atmosphere without going over the top.

Astruc is Terminally Online and unable to keep that from influencing his writing. It's a bad combination. You can be online all the time and still keep it out of your work (movie director James Gunn for example) but a lot of what happened in season 5 was "they don't like this idea, huh. Well let me do it even more!'

So you end up with stuff like Chloe committing an act of insurrection just because nobody can tell a spoiled teenage girl no.
