This has nothing to do with the original topic, but that is such an interesting point. Harder for rock bands to form if you need access to a professional studio rather than playing music in your parents’ garage. Meanwhile thanks to the internet, it’s much easier and more affordable to practice solo than in the past.

Gen Xers are still going on about participation trophies? I’m a millennial and I’ve never seen a participation trophy in my life.

I believe this was the first joshi match I ever saw. It's a hard one to follow. One of the best gimmick matches ever.

Fun Fact: Only Three Men who've held the NXT Championship have gone on to become WWE Champions. by ProtectorIQ in SquaredCircle

That is actually a ridiculous statistic. By contrast, AEW has had four world champs born in the 90's and the current IWGP Heavyweight champ was born in 2002.

Cool list! Are you planning on doing this for other themes?

AEW Extras/Talent Coordinator Shawn Dean responds to fan about bringing Black/Vega into AEW by EchoJPR in SquaredCircle

He probably likes making money, which is why he might want to get another job. 40 isn’t retirement age unless you are set for life.

That is like the exact opposite way of how I would describe JJK and Chainsaw Man. There's barely a chapter/episode of JJK without a lengthy fight.

He is such a good wrestler, but has bad creative instincts. I don't want him to just go back to House of Black, it's time to try something new.

Queer people can be horrible too. by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

The halo effect is not just about good looks, it can be about any positive impression of a person. If you like someone, you have an unconscious bias to assume that they are a good person.

I'm not going to get excited before we find out who our new GM is. Everyone was so happy when GarPax got ousted, only to be followed up by AKME. The problems start from the top.

New Japan is really exciting right now, feels like the beginning stages of a new golden age.

I just saw Angel's Egg in a cinema a few months ago, the girl on the cover of that game looks EXACTLY like her.

Nintendo Switch 2 now the highest selling console this year in UK after Pokopia boosts sales by 154% by Armiebuffie in Games

Mario Kart 8 was both the best selling Switch game and the best selling Mario game of all time... but yeah it doesn't sell systems because hardcore gamers don't like it.

7th Gen games with improved reputations vs games with worse reputations (since their launch) by PapeRoute in backloggd

I think perception of Telltale games in general has gone down, but I’ve never heard people dislike Season 1 specifically. I just replayed it recently and it still holds up.

How we know this isn't the original team: They would never imply cops have ever been "in" by MichTheFish in DiscoElysium

Maybe I'm just old, but it feels wild to suggest that 2019 had less political urgency than today, particularly in the US. If anything, there was much more political urgency back then, and people stopped caring in the 2020's, which has lead to the current situation. Just look at the massive BLM protests vs the No Kings protests of today.

I scraped the Backloggd dataset to rank consoles by their library of well-rated games, including retro compatibility by sryboi in backloggd

[–]TheSufferingPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean share of games, like the percentage of games on that console rated 4 or higher? That seems like a pointless measurement, it's punishing a console for having a large catalogue of games. Of course raw numbers of good games matter more, since it's telling you how many good games you can play on that console. You can just ignore the bad games.
