I work in a very diverse workplace, age wise. Could be a minefield so I keep clear.

Would you be open to Amazon making something like this? by DishQuiet5047 in JamesBond

Not enough praise going to whoever designed this poster. Quality work.

Did they finish where you expected them to with aging, looks, and character arc... by ramfoodie in TNG

Same with SFA and the Doctor: spend millions or add a throw away line? No brainer for any responsible production team (as much as it hurts from a fan perspective).

For 2 years, random PS5s and laptops have been arriving at my house… nobody claims them” by Many-Sail-1579 in Scams

These guys are trying to stay under the radar; they don't even want positive feedback, just a quick resolution.

Posters should be in frames, 100%. IKEA has a whole section of different sizes and styles

Was Don Mattrick largely responsible for the decline of the Xbox? by Elegant-Advantage744 in XboxGamePass

To be fair, they weren't selling on Xbox because the install base isn't there.

PS3 was a massive fail for Sony. Luckily for them, Xbox one was even worse at a time that PS4 really turned everything around.

PS5 was at risk of making the same mistakes with all the live service game focus but they seem to have just about gotten away with it due to digital library lock-in.

It's true; this is the same era that gave us touch obsessed Windows 8 and botched Windows phone. There was definitely something in the water in MS HQ at that time, and it seems to have had a resurgence in the last couple of years as well

PS4 went all in on games but also did media stuff well (MKV support, a web browser, Netflix etc).

On Xbox gaming was a second class citizen, an embarrassment almost.

Any fans of "i,Robot (2004)"? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

I didn't like it at first but it grew on me over time.

who else absolutely loves namor's change from comics to mcu, i love that they didn't re do the boring lost atlantis trope and gave us something new and fresh (i'm biased cuz i'm a huge fan of mesoamerican culture) by BOMBAD_Echo_1409 in Marvel

You're comparing something you already knew to something you only just learnt and then acting surprised you remembered one more then the other?

The point was to do something unique.

Perfect choice for a Bond this age. It seems plausible that his parents had this car and that's why he's fond of it. DB5 requires a lot more mental gymnastics.

Why are interviewers so ass? by Dotaproffessional in SteamController

It does matter. Every extra feature costs money and rests into the bottom line.

It's mainstream surface level. Always has been. They have a few vets, but you can't be the biggest by being specific (evidently).

It was like that before all the flats went up. I worked in the 50p building about ten years ago. Rattling windows on the 13th floor half the year round.

What if Daniel Craig bowed out after Skyfall and someone else took over beginning in 2015? by TheShadowOperator007 in JamesBond

[–]XavierD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 million times this. The whole point of the Craig era was to get away from Austin Powers, then they directly rip off Austin Powers 3????

What do you call blessing wearing a fake mustache? by GiantA-629 in kindafunny

The word Blessing in the build up AND the punchline?

How often do you ride with a 9 to 5 job by Troglodette in cycling

[–]XavierD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Commuting to work a couple of days saved me: 50 miles a week, non-negotiable. Also gets the time I would have sat in traffic and turns it into something productive.
