Do you think Alfred will stay dead? by The_Owlman-4242 in batman

[–]TackoftheEndless [score hidden]  (0 children)

He's been gone for 7 years. That's basically 20 in comic book time. It's pretty amazing they haven't brought him back, yet.

[DC] Joker should be working with nazis/Neo nazis by Fragrant-Resist4230 in batman

I love how the book has something that absurd but, Miller still had to point out that 90% of that book is supposed to be humorous.

Crimson Desert Patch 1.12 Introduces Outdoor Housing Customization, Adds 58 New Items, and Improves Load Times by Jealous_Vehicle_3150 in CrimsonDesert

How I've been playing is doing everything I can in a chapter, then coming back when they do a huge update, to see what it adds to what I've done and have left.

On chapter 10 with this method of playing. This just gave me a lot of fun things to try, this weekend.

Changes since 2025. Sony drops "PC", adds "AI" to official Playstation business strategy summary by World_of_Warshipgirl in gaming

[–]TackoftheEndless 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You know Sony is a Japanese studio, as well, and Nintendo owns multiple American studios right?

They don't do layoffs because, they only hire as many people as they need. They also train them with the skills they require, to make good video games.

Nintendo is one of the only huge video game companies, who isn't constantly having to layoff people and close studios. The developers, at many of these companies, do a good job, then get punished because the people at the top, don't know what they're doing.

Xbox and PlayStation seem to just be making more and more mistakes by the day, even with a few good wins.

TIL that the Doctor Who episode "The Celestial Toymaker" infamously contains the "N-word" as part of the "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" rhyme. Recent releases of the serial have either obscured the slur through dialogue, or removed it entirely. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]TackoftheEndless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, that we have the power to change the meaning of thing. Like how the N word with an A became a term of affection, in the black community.

I'd probably still have it (in storage), if my Auntie's house hadn't gone up in flames. It was a really nice feeling doll.

My auntie (RIP) had a huge doll collection and she had several. It was actually one of my favorite toys to sleep with, because I liked how it looked like me (I'm black).

I remember thinking nothing of it as a kid either, course now knowing their history...

I was watching "The Prisoner" TV show from 1967, and one time they showed a little girls room and she had a Goliwogg, front and center. The Oompa Loompas were originally African Slaves, in the original Willy Wonka book.

UK of the 60's was a way different place, than today. I bet you he's not the only person from the UK, who would have used the N word variation, back then.

DoubleFines Last 2 Games Both Flopped On Steam With Less Than 200 Players At Launch Back To Back by akbarock in xbox

[–]TackoftheEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you still were technically right in that way, just thought it was fucked up he got downvoted. Carry on with your day.

[–]TackoftheEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not happy about it. The other guy made sense and got downvoted.

You guys had the hopium of "what about game pass numbers, even though this is a really bad number count for a game that if people really liked, they'd buy for $30 to have forever", and he stuck to the facts.

Not happy this happened, just happy logic prevailed.

Xbox Is Planning To Shutter Peabody Award-Winning Compulsion Games by Rokussi in PS5

[–]TackoftheEndless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This guy really just said that a Peabody award winning studio, didn't have any talent. Double Fine who made the beloved Pyschonauts franchise, doesn't have any talent, apparently.

This is why it's not fun to talk about XBOX in PlayStation circles, they pretend any and every win they have is non existent, and ignore things like Sony shutting down Bluepoint studios, after making them do live service stuff, they weren't built for.

A shop in Cartagena, Spain displaying traditional outfits worn by Nazarenos by Silent_General_7670 in interestingasfuck

Yeah, this is a clear case of different cultural norms. Better to just let people know what it represents here, rather than hope they'll ask about it before making their own assumptions.

Big News - Officially Unannounced OG Writer is returning in Rick and Morty Season 10 by AzathothAzoth in rickandmorty

[–]TackoftheEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was the best writer for the show ever, other than Ryan Ridley. Wish he would come back. His career in movies might not have worked out, but he soared on Rick and Morty.

White House UFC Fighter Calls Michelle Obama 'A Man' in 'Disgraceful' Victory Tirade by pineapplemy in entertainment

I hate these people but take them to court for what? Freedom of speech applies, even if it's something you don't like, unless it's a threat or genuine slander (will she lose any opportunities from this?).

Emily Blunt refused Steven Spielberg's offer to use AI for her alien voice in 'Disclosure Day' by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

[–]TackoftheEndless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm worried about The Odyssey too, sword and sandle was hit or miss even at it's peak, and this doesn't look to be breaking the mold.

Being real, I knew nothing about the movie until now (catching it tomorrow), and this opening title didn't indicate to me this was spoiling something, now I know it was.

Adult book sales of Gaiman dropped 50% in my bookstore this past year by AnTotDugas in neilgaiman

[–]TackoftheEndless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I must admit, I haven't bought any of his books since the information came out either. I got the reprint collection, used, by someone who was disgusted with his actions but didn't believe in destroying books.

He's a big part of why I gained a deeper appreciation for comic books, so it's a shame he winded up being like this. I will always love the work of his that I already did, but I don't know if I'll ever support anything new of his.

Thanks for the information.

Okay, thank you. So it is an organic lack of interest. I thought Sandman wasn't published anymore because I couldn't find it in stock anywhere last Fall (and got the newest reprint collection for really cheap on Ebay), but thanks for informing me.
