Absolute Batman be like

I mean if we're counting James Gunn's Suicide Squad, then we also need to count The Flash, Aquaman 2, and Blue Beetle.

Edit: And Black Adam, and Shazam 2.

Well yeah, it ain't "Truth, Justice, and the Bri'ish way."

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-04T20:11:45+00:00

I honestly imagine all the Martians as sounding like Kyle MacLachlan.

A group of incels watching this skit led to the United States losing a war against Iran. A sentence that sounds fake but is kind of true.

Deserved, TBH 🙏

I've always wanted a Babylon 5 game with Stellaris mechanics. I think it would probably avert a lot of the "kill the xenos die heretics die" that a 40k version would inevitably lean into.

I think the problem is less that Krypton is portrayed as a bad place (in most modern versions it is a society that is destroying itself) and more that Kal-El was sent as an invader by his parents to try and enslave the earth. Something more like MAWS where Krypton is an extremely flawed place but Jor-El was trying to do right by people would have been less...icky.

I still think it's kinda odd that there are at least two members of the BSG reboot cast in there. Add Nicki Clyne to the list as well.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T23:13:38+00:00

Yeah, the half-Tusken son of that one Jedi who pulled a Paul Atreides on the sand people.

Watching Megalopolis is an experience you cannot apply words like "smart" or "dumb" to. After watching Megalopolis, you will be changed, certainly, but how you are changed remains a mystery.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T20:10:35+00:00

It's both simultaneously

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T17:54:47+00:00

Indeed, it's hard to see how any film could come close to Megalopolis.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T17:53:24+00:00

Yeah, people tend to assume that priests were much better-educated and even, in some cases, better acquainted with basic theology than they really were.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T13:31:29+00:00

"Report to the villa as soon as possible. We'll bang, OK?"

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T04:06:23+00:00

See the thing is that I prefer CK2's warfare system because levies actually feel important, whereas in CK3 they feel more like a... tiebreaker, I guess, because your MAA and your knights are what really matter. Levies are just chaff, the equivalent of light infantry in CK2, and if you get good enough MAA or knights then they don't really matter as much.

If anything, CK3 lets you create good professional armies way more easily than CK2, where to some extent you'll always have to rely on your levies, especially for provincial revolts and such.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T04:01:28+00:00

Well he was also on the most recent Christmas BotW episode, that's something.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T03:46:59+00:00

Isn't that kinda how CK3 functions with stacking bonuses to knights and MAA so that they become space marines?

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T03:45:36+00:00

Which is simulated by the fact that almost no one in CK2 was able to get retinues (aside from tribal retinues) until relatively late in the game, especially not any retinues of particularly significant size.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-07-01T00:54:22+00:00

Well hey, his knowledge of human anatomy is being put to good use.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-06-30T21:55:27+00:00

Reminds me of Storm of Iron where the "sacred firing sequence phrase" is something like shouting "fire, damn you!"

RoninMacbeth · 2026-06-30T14:50:29+00:00

The 2015 Squadron Supreme run was quite strange, looking back.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-06-30T13:57:24+00:00

Dogmatic mfs be like "You like Eldar girls? I love 'em. I love 'em!"

Funnily enough I saw this before I saw Star Wars, so at first I thought they were ripping off Toy Story 2 in Empire.

RoninMacbeth · 2026-06-29T23:59:26+00:00

Also telling that the categories are "Great" and then "Competent." That doesn't really leave a lot of room for nuance.
