I think Cyclops needs to work on his strategizing a little bit. When dividing up the team to fight Magneto and Mr. Sinister, maybe consider where to send the guy whose bones are made of metal and the only person who can actually harm Mr. Sinister IIRC Wolverine losing his adamantium was the result ...

⋅ Lighting and sets are looking a lot better than they did in season 1. It’s amazing how SNW got something so basic so right, right out the gate. I mean TBF saying "right out the gate" kinda omits the Discovery episodes they got to use as a trial balloon. I read somewhere that t...

I guess that makes sense in isolation but I'd probably use a phrase like "currently running" instead of a word that, in this context, is typically used to mean the opposite of a miniseries.

I use some variation on the "when Marge first told me she was going to the police academy, I thought it would be fun and exciting, like that movie, Spaceballs" joke on at least a weekly basis.

Various Doctor Who deals on, what with tonight's premier. Humble's got a comics bundle ; there are a hell of a lot of them and I haven't read them all but Paul Cornell wrote a few and the ones I've read of his are pretty good. I don't think I've read any of Al Ewing's Who comics but he's been doing ...

This is the setup for Resurrection of Magneto, an ongoing miniseries by Al Ewing and Luciano Vecchio.

wait, what the fuck is an "ongoing miniseries"

Fanatical's got some deals on. Eiyuden Chronicle for $38 instead of the usual $50, Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series for $8.59, SteamWorld Dig for a buck.

Classic Marathon now free on Steam, with Classic Marathon 2 and Classic Marathon Infinity listed as "Coming Soon". It's the Aleph One versions of the games, which have been available for free for close to twenty years. But if you've been, say, waiting for a way to play them on a Steam Dec...

Yeah, the open moderation stack is what caught my eye in the Masnick article I linked. That's at least potentially a big goddamn deal. I'm still concerned about the centralization (open APIs are all well and good but having to trust a single for-profit company not to turn them off isn't, even if it ...

Yeah, I was thinking much the same. TOS was originally going to end by setting up Generation X, back when season 4 was planned as the final season. Mostly because X-Cutioner's Song and Generation X are probably the last remaining 90s stories that haven't been used. The last two Big Event stories, ma...

We've got screencaps from Batman: Caped Crusader , including some very '40s-style images of Batman and Catwoman, a redesigned Harley Quinn, and Scarecrow looking a lot like he did on New Batman Adventures. (Or, based on the text, Clayface looking a lot like Scarecrow did on New Batman Adventures? Ok...

You know, it's kind of impressive how seamlessly the old "slot Rogue in for Colossus" move works. omg I just realized that after 5 seasons of retelling stories from the '70s and '80s with Gambit in place of Nightcrawler, now they're retelling a story from the '90s with Nightcrawler in...

Went ahead and snagged Hi-Fi Rush in that Humble Choice bundle and I'm only about half an hour in but it is a gorgeous game with a soundtrack that rocks and I was already mad about the studio being shut down on principle but now I'm also mad because they made something genuinely great.

Boy I wish I'd known about threeSD before I manually extracted all my games and saves from my 2DS and copied them to my new 3DS XL! ...which I thought was a capital-N New 3DS XL when I bought it, so that kinda smarts. But oh well, it's not like I was going to play Xenoblade on it or anything anyway.

I guess I'm a little surprised they're doing Fatal Attractions again, but not that surprised. You know, it's kind of impressive how seamlessly the old "slot Rogue in for Colossus" move works. Nice job with everybody getting an alternate costume. Good meta jokes: "Morph wa...

Not going to link to the New York Times, but it turns out that in RFK Jr's case, "brainworms" is not a figure of speech. The dude literally had part of his brain eaten by a parasite. And in case that wasn't on-the-nose enough, apparently the "thimerosol causes autism" guy also ha...

Can't say I'm surprised -- not just because Cannon gonna Cannon, but because of SCOTUS slow-walking the immunity ruling. As for the Georgia case, AIUI Georgia RICO prosecutions can take a very long time. It's never great to hear about another delay, but I think that one was looking at a pretty long ...

May's Humble Choice has Hi-Fi Rush and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, among others. I'm thinking I'll grab it; I've been wanting to check out Hi-Fi Rush and $12 would be an all-time low price for that game alone. (Y:LaD is a Steam code; the Steam version inexplicably still has Denuvo even though the game's ...

I heard a couple of months back that Threads was joining the Fediverse but didn't actually see anything from Threads in my Mastodon feed until the past couple of days. Nothing bad; it was some posts by Aaron Rupar that somebody was boosting. There's a debate going right now about whether or not Mast...

I'll believe it when I see it, and Merchan's pretty clear that he'd really rather not, but it's more direct and blunt than any of the other judges have been up to this point. I think Merchan's made the very reasonable judgement that stochastic terrorism against jurors is a red line and he can't let ...
