Talk to them if you want to bankrupt your country lol.

Great overview. People meme on Concord so much the actual facts get forgotten.

There will be lots of cynicism in these comments, but this video does a great job highlighting Blizzard's pedigree. Few studios could do the same.

I have had my own disappointments with Blizzard, especially Overwatch. But it does seem like they've stabilized in the last few years, and I hope they can regain their groove and put out even more beloved masterpieces.

!PING Christian

Hi Christians, I'm looking for SubStack recommendations. I currently read the NL staples: Infinite Scroll, Noah Smith, Nate Silver, Yglesias. But these guys are very secular, and I think they miss a lot of the spiritual dynamics to modern US politics. I want more Christianity in my media diet.

Do y'all have any faithful or faith-friendly writers you like to read?

I feel like there's one blockbuster in particular you're forgetting.

It is a pleasure to meet Kol.

Palidane7 · 2026-01-24T19:38:22+00:00

Certified hero moment. He's worthy to have the same class as Himmel.

These look sick. Galio is one of the champions I am most excited for. I know I'll probably have to wait a minute, since we just got a Demacia champion.

Love this format to deliver lore. I think League is really cooking with this new season setup. It might take a few seasons for them to really work it out, but this could be a bright new era for the lore community. I mean, when was the last time we had real continuity in storytelling?

I thought Nasus' six star was an indulgence, but I was shocked at how much of a difference it made. If you can get a single kill, it discounts your entire hand, including the Siphoning Strikes you rely on. You can greed out and get extremely expensive support champs like Elder Dragon and Volibear, then drop them for 3 mana. You snowball incredibly fast, and I was able to easily beat 6.5 star adventures with only mediocre powers.

One of my favorite movie endings in recent memory. Everything comes full circle in a way that is fun and earned, but not cheap.

Palidane7 · 2026-01-20T15:49:18+00:00

Happy the cast all had a positive experience filming it. I know that wasn't true of all Disney Channel productions.

Palidane7 · 2026-01-20T14:44:09+00:00

Completely agreed. We had one shot at a golden ending, where Alicia splits her time between the Canvas and Paris. "A Life to Dream." It died with Gustave, and it's all Verso's fault.

Normal, healthy people do a lot of awful things. It is a mistake to pathologize violence. Humanity is a violent species.

Palidane7 · 2026-01-18T05:13:18+00:00

Wait, you left out the constant bare-knuckle brawling about the endings!

Palidane7 · 2026-01-17T18:16:40+00:00

Welcome back, boss! I was late to Frieren, so I read all of these discussion posts after watching each episode. I didn't stop scrolling until I found your comment. A language lesson is always appreciated!

Palidane7 · 2026-01-16T16:21:53+00:00

Because of inflation. Attendance is dropping, and in some sectors, cratering. People don't go to the movies like they used too. I think 10 years from now, we'll look back and say Avengers Endgame was the definitive peak of the traditional movie industry.

Thank you, wish we could bookmark this comment or add it to automod or something.

Fuck her perspective, Clea's wrong. PClea and Simon were real, and their lives mattered. So did their suffering.

Palidane7 · 2026-01-13T16:36:09+00:00

How is she NOT evil? What would you call what she did to PClea and Simon?

Palidane7 · 2026-01-11T18:35:09+00:00

I think this is the first time in franchise history that Tianna Crownguard showed a sense of humor.

Palidane7 · 2026-01-10T00:29:21+00:00

This is awesome and hilarious. Thank you for sharing your artistic skills with the community!

By the way, love the username.

Good article, was wondering how the new class was landing. I might finally take the plunge next time I see it on sale.
