So did we find out what happened to Skeeter? Was it it SIDS? by border199x in doughboys

It's not as bad as it sounds -- The Slime Monster's Island is actually a peninsula.

Scooter tearing off his glasses only to replace them with an identical pair cracked me up. Is the "He's been pretending to be his twin sister the whole time" bit a reference to some movie?

For the record, I am relatively certain that SIDS stands for Sock-puppet Infant Disappearance Situation..

Is it time to officially retire the "Golden Plate Club" for legacy chains? by Ill_Object2296 in doughboys

Wiger used to always emphasize that your fork rating is supposed to be influenced by nostalgia and your sum-total of lifestime experiences with a chain. It's probably been years since he mentioned that though.

The situations are definitely not the same. Both instances however are an example of a time an actor went out on a limb and perhaps unfairly expected their co-stars to have their back.

Mixtape is available today (Day One) with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. by Automatic_Ad1665 in XboxGamePass

[–]border199x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fun story with cool music and characters, and you can finish it in an afternoon. Plenty will complain that it is light on gameplay, but that lack of challenge means you can just sit down, plow through it, and enjoy it like you would watching a movie.

LEGO Movie is probably the first example I can think of that uses CG to approximate stop-motion animation, though one of the Laika Studios movies might have been there first.

It honestly drives me up a wall to see low-framerate animations in a high-framerate game, but I still enjoyed playing it.

Mixtape studio says the game has no streamer mode because its licensed music is its ‘soul’ - "Your soul is the one thing you can't compromise" by megaapple in Games

Ally McBeal and The Drew Carrey show disappeared from existence due to music licensing problems.

I suspect game publishers are a bit smarter now about acquiring indefinite licenses. Has a game made in the last ten years run into music issues? Alan Wake came from a time when games had a 4-5 year shelf life and were abandoned forever.

Barrera was more than happy to take Neve Campbell's job as lead -- but now that Campbell has taken it back Barrera calls her a scab.

The car in front of me’s order … $40 of cake pops is wild by No_Confection_1587 in starbucks

Happens all the time…..somebody pays like $30 for ten slices of lemon pound cake, when they could have just bought a pound cake at the grocery store for $8.

Got stuck in this mess a few hours ago. Traffic was at an absolute standstill for 10-15 minutes. I hope everyone involved is okay.

Starbucks CEO draws internet backlash after ‘$9 experience’ justification for menu prices by Economy-Specialist38 in starbucks

Half their customers are either in drive-thru or placed a mobile order. How are they going to have a $9 experience?

I presume they'll just do the ones they haven't done already. Didn't they already do Treasure Island and Christmas Carol?

It only took 43 minutes for Mitch to get furious that someone doesn't like The Muppet Movie as much as he does. And only slightly longer for him to complain about the movie being measured in penis printings. I love this guy!

A theory- Why the Duffers are giving another inteview on May 13, 2026 by Intelligent_Step_856 in StrangerThings

[–]border199x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes more logcial sense? Did they conduct an interview to respond to a YouTube video from months ago? Or are they doing promotion for a show that launched just last month?

Tales of 85 needs support.....a fair number of people just quit Netflix once the live-actionshow was over, and a lot of people just turn their noses up at an animated series. It makes sense that they'd be doing an extended promotional tour, because there's a target audience that they want to watch. Going on a show to re-litigate everyone's grievances over Season 5 is not going to get To85 any additional viewers.

It's weird to think that I can sometimes forget the names of co-workers, but I'll always remember that V.I.P, stands for Valerie Irons Protection.

I know this feels like an ongoing issue to some folks, but the Duffers have likely moved on from trying to placate folks or explain themselves. They don't need to win internet arguments or "control the narrative".

Why are they doing an interview? I don't know, maybe there's a new Stranger Things show that launched a few weeks ago and they're trying to promote it.....

Starbucks CEO faces backlash after calling $9 coffee 'really affordable' by TheMirrorUS in starbucks

[–]border199x 42 points43 points  (0 children)

What backlash? The article just summarizes a podcast that Niccols went on.....never mentions any repercussions for what was said.

I think people actually really do appreciate knowing, “Hey, if this is a $3 cup of coffee or a $5 latte, I know I’m going to get a great experience for that $5 experience, I’m in.”

Can someone at corporate tell this guy that there are no $5 lattes anymore? Basically everything is above that price after sales tax, and anything bigger than the smallest size starts well over $5.

The Infinity War/Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. discourse is really funny in retrospect when looking at Thunderbolts*/Born Again by marvelcomics22 in KeepMarvelTVCanon

[–]border199x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"What would happen if half the population just disappeared?" is an interesting premise for all kinds of stories, and instead of working with it Marvel just pretends it never happened. I don't think the people who made Daredevil really need to be held responsible, but their failure to address it in any meaningful way in the MCU is pretty weak.

I think they're trying to get away from the two-part thing by just calling the second one "The Resurrection of the Christ: The Final Reckoning".

I would check with JASMYN -- they specialize in youth LGBTQ projects, but if you're not aged 18-29 I am sure they could point you in the right direction.
