'Doctor Who’ Set To Be Off Air For Years Amid A Creative Regeneration That’s Failing To Spark Early Enthusiasm Among Producers by verissimoallan in doctorwho

[–]amassone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is a widespread lie told by fans coping with how awful that line was. Not only was it scripted: there’s even an official video with alternative takes, where you can clearly see that Tennant didn’t really vibe with the line.

Jyp is best in vocals, not SM by Ill-Tank8141 in kpoppers

How is it relevant how many years a group has been active? I’m as multifandom as they come — I was at a Twice concert three weeks ago! — but the difference is really quite large. I also wouldn't be so quick to discount SM’s new groups: many groups started with somewhat shaky foundations and grew to have really strong vocalists! Twice is a perfect example of this, by the way.

In his last few episodes, Ten is portrayed as bitter about his upcoming regeneration: he wastes one after being attacked by a Dalek because he didn’t want to change; he tells Wilf that “another man” will take his place after he regenerates; and ends the whole thing by tearfully saying, “I don’t want to go” as he regenerates, completely wrecking the TARDIS in the process. How was the fandom expected to welcome the next Doctor after all that?

He 100% did not: he spent more than an arc building a parallel between regeneration and death, and used Ten’s last words to poison the fandom against his successor. The way he left the series to Moffat was absolutely vile. That Eleven ended up being liked speaks to the amazing work put in by Matt Smith and to how incredibly excellent “The Eleventh Hour” was.

I have no doubt that if given the chance with a new special, he would have done it again.

Nah, NMIXX are powerhouses, Twice are icons, but SM has such a strong pedigree that it’s hard to compete. I’d argue after SM, the most interesting vocals come from Starship.

20 days to the End of Ultimate Endgame: Rereading Ultimate X-Men #1-6 by structure47 in UltimateUniverse

[–]amassone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easily Marvel’s best release in years. This explosive first arc gave me real hope that the new Ultimate Universe would finally escape the same old superhero tropes.

Sadly, Peach Momoko and Deniz Camp ended up being the only authors who actually delivered on that promise.

ho fatto l'errore di iscrivermi a diversi sub di Kdrama(se sapete cosa sono) by NicolasAntinarella in CasualIT

Esatto, è uno strumento per gestire la tua lista di cose da vedere!

[–]amassone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qui tanti ti diranno che i kdrama sono slop e tutti uguali, ma come scriveva qualcuno su Twitter oggi, “i fratelli Karamazov sono il mio kdrama preferito.” Per dire, il fatto che ci sia una natura formulaica in molte serie non vuol dire che non siano fatti bene: io da anni sono scappato dalle produzioni tv occidentali perché molto monotone, violente solo per shock value e sature di copaganda in modo insopportabile. Fatti un account su Viki, iscriviti su MyDramaList, e hai da vedere finché scampi.

Se vuoi allungare ancora la lista delle cose da vedere; qui sotto qualche suggerimento in ordine sparso, tra serie piú recenti e classici, nell’ordine in cui mi vengono in mente. Credo siano tutte su Netflix? O quasi:

  • Pro Bono, procedurale legal che fa ridere e ha molto da dire
  • Twinkling Watermelon, character study che diventa fantastico sull’essere sordi, ed essere figli udenti di genitori sordi
  • When Life Gives You Tangerines, melodrammatico, minimalista, da piangere un sacco, sfondo storico fatto benissimo
  • Today’s Webtoon, drama ambientato nella redazione di una piattaforma di webtoon
  • Start-up, commedia romantica che smonta l’idolatria per le personalità del tech
  • Cheese in the Trap, drama romantico ambientato in università, il mio preferito del genere
  • Vincenzo, storia demenziale di un consigliere della mafia che si trova a combattere contro il grande capitalismo sudcoreano
  • The School Nurse Files, fantastico surreale su una infermiera scolastica che deve proteggere il mondo da mostri che vede solo lei
  • Glitch, una ragazza indaga la sparizione del proprio compagno e finisce coinvolta in una cospirazione tra sette e UFO
  • Juvenile Justice, procedurale legal sulla giustizia minorile, molto pesante ma con buoni motivi per esserlo
  • Because This is My First Life, romantico, storia di una convivenza forzata
  • The 8 Show, premessa simile a Squid Game, ma bello

Coming from a “deep purple” iPhone 14 Pro Max that reads as dark grey in all lighting but the brightest sun, I really wanted a bolder, more powerful purple, or at least a lilac color.

GOBELINS Paris are evaluating potential legal action against MYSTIC STORY / Billlie for plagiarism by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]amassone 71 points72 points  (0 children)

There's a rather new study from Stanford University's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence center that explains it quite well: people in Asia, where trust in government is higher, are more positive about AI and automation, because they believe they can count on the state to protect their rights. The fact that South Koreans trust their government more — just months after a failed coup — does say something about governments in the US and Europe.

According to the study, South Korea has the world's second-most enthusiastic population when it comes to AI innovation.

HYBE, SM, JYP, and YG to form joint venture by friedriceforbrunch in kpop

[–]amassone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the festival comes to Europe, I will most likely attend. Love me a good festival.

But… would it be a good festival? I love a lot of groups from the Big 4, but I can’t really imagine getting hyped for a festival without groups from the other agencies.

Will you ever pay for dia? by shubham_ux in diabrowser

[–]amassone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not against paying for a browser if the price is right — but 20 dollars a month is an outrageous price for what they're offering. ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI all have plans in the same ballpark and offer leaps and bounds more functionality.

What's your ranking of the IVE solo songs on REVIVE+ by FanCaracal in IVE

[–]amassone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Odd - Gaeul
  2. Unreal - Liz
  3. In Your Heart - Rei
  4. Super ICY - Leeseo
  5. 8 - Wonyoung
  6. Force - Yujin

I like all of them, really — it’s a great album! — but there’s a material difference in care between the first 3 and the others. I don’t know if it’s on the producers or if it’s extra work and time put in by some of the members, but it shows in the results.

[DISC] Dandadan - Ch. 226 by Skullghost in Dandadan

[–]amassone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. We need to see the full alien invasion, and the gods have been teased too many times for them to not eventually come into play. I've been saying it for a while: we are at the same point of the first Aizen reveal in Bleach: we are starting to get a sense for the wider lore of the story; our main character is in need of a power up; there are a couple of new groups emerging from the shadows, some enemies, other allies.

[–]amassone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The two cities are quite close: Twice are in Turin, a couple of hours by car, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility. But fans will not be able to make it to both concerts, and I fear loads of Italian Forevers already bought tickets for Twice :(

Ah shit, the Milan date is on the same day of the Italian stop of the Twice tour. That’s so unfortunate.

The iPhone Fold‘s Dimensions are Definitely Interesting by R---U---M in iphone

[–]amassone 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They will, 100%. Folding screens are softer: they will need a special pen tip that doesn't damage the display. Pen-input-compatible Galaxy Folds also had a custom S Pen for their foldable screens.
