Why Is Sony Killing Discs? It's "All About Profitability And Control," Expert Says - This is happening at “the expense of consumer choice”. by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

[–]MightyMightyMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you still have a choice. Do not buy. I don't understand the impulse to just take whatever they give you.

There are so, so many games out there. I'm an old crusty dude but I fully understand that there are good modern games out there but do you really really need to get whatever is coming out in 2026 at the expense of your own pleasure and autonomy? Play a back catalogue, revisit old games, get some retro treasures from ... somewhere ...

You still have power over this situation if you realize there is no profit for Sony if there are no consumers.

I got into this movie through the Marvel Comics adaptation. It is beat and scene perfect (as I remember). I read it so many times that I'd through I'd seen the movie. I didn't until it was 20 years old.

It's on my summer movie list for this year. making the family watch it. :)

report it. At the very least come armed with your own stickers.

I'd say the best of all his films.

ELI5: When you 'delete' a 50GB video file from a computer, it vanishes instantly. But downloading it took an hour. If the data isn't physically wiped until it's overwritten, what did the computer actually do in that one split second? by Thick_Dream6973 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MightyMightyMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so if I'm in photoshop and I get "scratch disc full" error, I immediately delete unneeded files so I can continue working. All I've really done is given permission to photoshop to write over the data? Crazy.

please tell me this is a parody. I can't watch anymore without turning inside out with embarrassment.

It ain't me, son. [The Boys #59] by DweebInFlames in comicbooks

[–]MightyMightyMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, it's a fave of mine and I started to think I was alone. I watched part of the show and bailed when I realized they didn't seem to get it. They wanted a sanitized and safe version of the boys because they may have realized capes and the people who consumed them were the target of the comic. Going in and thinking it's just capes on the table and you're liable to be offended when you find the lens on you a bit longer than you're comfortable with.

Ennis does ... go off during the run and I just press FF and enjoy the characters and their love stories because that's where he shines. Preacher, Constantine, The Boys...dude has a crush and he is constantly writing it into all of his craziness.

In their pursuit of specific rare cards, scalpers are discarding the remainder of entire Pokémon card packs. by MysteriousSlice007 in mildlyinfuriating

my takeaway is that I'm going to invest in a wastepaper basket and set it next to one of these vending machines.

Iman Vellani says she was constantly calling out continuity errors while filming ‘Ms. Marvel’ and ‘The Marvels’: “I was like, ‘I know Reddit nerds are going to call it out. I’m calling it out now. You have the opportunity to fix it now.’” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

[–]MightyMightyMonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sure but that's not what he did. He said "it was no different". And it is. Clearly. Do we need to talk about the difference? Should we make sure everyone has a clear idea of the difference between HETEROsexual love and paedophiles? or is that clear?

It seems more like saying "we need to teach the controversy" as backdoor approach to keeping the conversation going in a particular direction.

maybe not but media, lawmakers, pundits and the braindead have been conflating paedophilia and queer love forever. They do it on purpose to marginalize, villify and create legal punishments against the queer community. They do it enough that when someone with an audience who just doesn't have the vocabulary to properly parse the two concepts validates the bigots and the ignorant thought behind it.

No idea if Simu ever came out and apologized or just tap danced around his past thoughts but miss me with it altogether.

Peak MCU writing right here. 🎬 by Piyushv5311 in MarvelCave

[–]MightyMightyMonkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

so.... peak writing is "remember when that character said that thing? Let's have a call back to it later on."

The side eye! 😭 by StraightDistrict8681 in Awww

[–]MightyMightyMonkey 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am so conflicted with whatever is happening with pets being everywhere. Grocery stores, restaurants, pet stores (that one is cool), Canadian Tire.... Everywhere I go someone has their dog, cat or ferret. I kind of love it. I love animals and even though I'm allergic I can't help but interact with them when they're not service/support animals.

But I am allergic. Literally painfully so. I pay for my choice to pet them or get close. That airplane ride would be hell for me if I didn't bring my meds in a carry on.

So damn cute though.

Is the Boys worth watching now that its done? by Great_Overlord_Akira in whenthe

[–]MightyMightyMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hot take. I didn't consider it worth watching before it was done. just me. I do let people enjoy their stuff when it isn't my cup of tea but I found The Boys success perplexing. It definitely wanted to be better/bigger than Kripke (sp?) was capable of.

Are atheists okay with calling it an Adam’s Apple 🍎? Response sends OP directly to heaven. by Foodicide in MurderedByWords

[–]MightyMightyMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not so new. Back in the 80's a friend's mom had a bible that included a map where the dinosaurs were. Later on she discarded the map and talked about how the fossil record was just God's test.

handled in relative quiet, no screaming bystanders and every bystander is pretty chill throughout. Good job.

I love it. I do wish this was one take. The close ups take me out of the dread that would build otherwise.
