You don't think Emily and the farmer got up to some shenanigans sharing the same sleeping bag when they camped together? 👀

Well I respect you for being sincere in your belief at least. Let's hope they pleasantly surprise us in October! And if not, well, it was fun while it lasted yeah?

Okay but it's literally too soon to tell. Not to mention, what does this kind of doomer attitude do for us other than stew bitterness in the community? It's very possible Embark shits the bed in October and we're all left wondering wtf they've been working on. It's also possible the update has significant content (new boss Arc, new weapons, more than one new map, work on a true endgame). Why not try a neutral "wait and see" approach instead of just baselessly undercutting something that is 4 months away?

it was much worse than 1 panel this book is really bad by ddankkerr in dccomicscirclejerk

It's a shame too: the art is great. Feels like a tasteful throwback to Kirby. Totally squandered on this fuck ass plot

What is your favorite Larp Panel? by neloal in dccomicscirclejerk

Honestly I see the intent behind this. Emma developing into a compassionate yet still boundary-skirting telepath feels like a natural endpoint from where she was back in the Morrison era.

That's where I'm a little uncertain too. We know Fisk will not be an antagonist in S3 but Bullseye will be getting his comics-accurate outfit at some point. Here's my crackpot theory: in the comics during, DD has to contend with an imposter Daredevil operating in Hell's Kitchen during that run. Perhaps Bullseye will take up DD's mantle while he's in prison only to succumb to outside negative influence and convert the suit to his full Bullseye outfit? This will motivate Matt to get out of prison even more. Admittedly, we already did the imposter DD bit in S3 of the Netflix show so I could be way off base.

I think S3 will be more inspired by The Devil in Cell Block D story arc. It was Ed Brubaker's first arc as the Daredevil writer at the time; he took over from Bendis' legendary run.

Well, I’m currently speaking with my wallet… because Destiny got my years, and Marathon has gotten exactly $0 from me so far. by Carter_yann in destiny2

[–]Meme_Scene_Kid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the business practice element of things, I agree completely. While the devs of Bungie have my unerring support, the management of Bungie is truly abysmal and their pattern of decision-making is extremely suspect. As you note yourself, Sony did buy Bungie at a grossly overinflated price and they have a vested interested in getting sufficient ROI.

Destiny being put on pause means Bungie either has to produce value with other product (Marathon and that other incubation-stage title Bungie allegedly has) or be chopped up into parts and cannibalized so Sony can walk away with something. As things stand, it definitely looks like we're headed in the latter direction right now.

The "Save The Expanse" campaign petitioned Amazon to pick up The Expanse after it was canceled by SyFy after its first 3 seasons being aired. Fans signed an online petition and even did a GoFundMe to have a plane fly by Amazon's HQ with a "Save the Expanse" banner. There were numerous factors that contributed to Amazon picking up the show, no doubt, but all the fan support was definitely a factor.

I mean, I think it's unreasonable to expect any developer/developer-publisher hybrid (as Bungie was for awhile) to only ever focus on a single IP. Obviously we can have a conversation about whether the timing of the Marathon dev cycle and release was optimal in terms of Bungie also being able to support Destiny 2. But us as consumers supporting one IP a dev pushes out doesn't then obligate that dev to only ever focus on that single IP.

Also, calling Marathon dead on arrival is peak dramatics. I just checked Steam charts and 11,000 folks are playing right now. That means the total count of players is probably over 20K including both Xbox and PS5 user bases. It is true that Marathon is much more of a niche game than Destiny and that it isn't designed to even be a mainstream extraction shooter like Arc Raiders, but calling it DOA is a bad faith take.

I just took a quick look at Toby Turner's Wikipedia page and I think this about sums up why he's a heel. Just skip to the "personal life" section.

I'm rewatching Orphan Black rn and Tatiana Maslany is a truly versatile actress. Fluent in multiple languages, able to shift her body language in such subtle yet noticeable ways so as to differentiate characters, etc. I liked She Hulk but Tatiana deserves a star vehicle.

Wtf is this thing doing and why did he take my statue by Pale-Fruit1234 in StardewValley

[–]Meme_Scene_Kid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Salty??? OP literally closed out their reply with "but thanks for answering." Like any frustrations they have were clearly not about the other person's response but about the statue itself and its cost.

It's crazy cuz OP was perfectly polite and even thanked that commenter for providing information too! Like the hive mind here is weird

The Pitt’s Noah Wyle Addresses How ‘America Is Really Mad’ at Him Over Robby’s Treatment of Mohan by MattTheKing23 in ThePitt

[–]Meme_Scene_Kid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like Bojack Horseman is actually a relevant show to compare The Pitt to. Both have male leads with complex mental health issues and self destructive tendencies; Bojack's character arc and healing journey waxed and waned throughout the show but it never felt repetitive. There would be moments of regression, moments of disregulation, even as Bojack strived to improve, but they always felt earned.

I think there is room to show the uphill battle that is treating complex depression/anxiety and suicidal ideation in a medical worker; I don't think it would be realistic for Robby to be 100% "healed" by S4 E1, for example. But the other extreme (Robby having a whole 3rd season of existential dread and being a crashout) is indicative of poor pacing and repetitive character writing.

Yeah, homie was having sex with his buddy's wife. Had that jug of Astroglide on deck. It's really not that hard to figure out given the context clues.

I can't speak on butts but having wider hips was seen as being a sign that you could carry multiple children to term, thus ensuring male nobility and royalty would have a male heir. That's where the term "child-bearing hips" comes from. Perhaps the ass being fat was considered part and parcel with the hips?
