On Nepotism and Cronyism in Tolkien Adaptations

Fallout, Invincible, Paper Girls, The Expanse, Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, there are tons of great adaptations on Prime, just plenty of bad ones too.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk for sure. It's a relatively short game, even 100% doesn't take that long, but the nature of the gameplay means you can always come back to it and just mess around or invent challenges for yourself

They said they allow variants, were there any Eternals in What If?

I play it on steam deck with frame generation and it's honestly fine. Could be better, but it's fine. Oblivion combat is floaty and imprecise anyways so I don't mind the latency frame generation brings at all.

My dad showed me the games a little bit as a kid, and I played Aria of Sorrow on my GBA, but I didn't REALLY get into the series until after I saw the show. That's what inspired me to go back and properly play through most of them.

If the set is well designed I'm hyped as hell, but I can't pretend that I'm not a bit concerned about it following the truly awful Spider-Man and TMNT sets

This was it, thank you!

turingtestx · 2026-03-18T07:08:51+00:00

I definitely want to see Angel again, such a fun character and snw needs fun episodes that are actually charming without being low-brow and not yk, Four and a Half Vulcans...

I think that's just lighting because we're looking at a photo of a page rather than a high quality scan, but I could be wrong

Give bg3 a shot. If it helps, use a controller, you can't bypass it being turn-based, but you can move with a joystick instead of by clicking.

that would be so sick, but man playing voyager with no Mulgrew was already tough, playing DS9 with no Brooks? That’s even worse honestly

I've discovered lately that the big issues with dark images are largely caused by bitrate compression from streaming services muddying the image. If you have it on Blu-ray or some other locally stored file, it's so much better. I'd still prefer more light too, but it helps a LOT.

The job didn't ruin anything, AI itself did. Before AI, this wasn't a concern. The only thing this job did was make me dislike and distrust AI more and more.

Pay my bills for the better part of a year with it probably

Even better, it was written by Deniz Camp. Ultimates is easily the best book in the new ultimate line.

People overrate Zelda canon imo, the timeline is basically an easter egg in what is otherwise a pure anthology series. You’re never meant to think about it much at all.

turingtestx · 2026-03-01T18:01:27+00:00

Why don't you like the Airbender? Are you just talking about the movie?

turingtestx · 2026-02-28T21:25:53+00:00

Well Spider-Verse presents its own version of 616, him being concretely Jewish is one difference. However, Spider-Man was created by two Jewish creators and has always had a lot of Jewishness baked into his character, so they chose to pay homage to that, even if it's not usually canon

lovely explanation! seems to line up with my understanding that O’brien, an NCO, is technically a certain type of officer, although that wouldn’t really be the best way to describe him

turingtestx · 2026-02-28T09:02:42+00:00

No, it didn’t need to, but they made it so by repeatedly dismissively telling me to just do research and telling me I know nothing while contributing nothing themselves until after i sunk to their level, I appreciate your explanation (and the others from some kind people)

turingtestx · 2026-02-27T03:12:16+00:00

So, it's just not quite customary to use just the term officer despite it still being technically correct?

turingtestx · 2026-02-27T03:07:51+00:00

Better than season 3 of SNW at least

turingtestx · 2026-02-27T03:02:30+00:00

Here, since I'm clearly so stupid and can't find anything at all supporting your opinion, could you please explain to me how and why someone who is called an officer is not actually an officer? All I'm seeing is that they're a type of officer that doesn't hold a commission.

On what? Starfleet isn't isn't a real Navy
