I'm generally pretty bearish on video game adaptations these days. There is some good stuff coming out, like Cyberpunk or Castlevania that I enjoyed, but there's also stuff like Sonic and Last of Us which are... fine. But in general the pendulum has swung towards being TOO faithful with the intent o...

I most certainly did not panic, thinking our god had forsaken us and that the only path left was the path of blood, that's for sure

I'm living in the path of totality so of course next Monday is predicted to be all day rain storms

To honor him, pay some more on your next insurance premium. It's what he would have wanted

Sure, he can be in jail, or he can have his properties seized by the state. Or he loses his property to his victims. Instead there's a pattern of consequences coming near, only to be arbitrarily allowed to delay. Hell, the Supreme Court made damn sure they could keep on state ballot's while delaying...

He'll get the money back and will continue to hold his properties, when before that judge's decision he was liable to actually start facing consequences. Now he'll just pay that bond with other people's money like he always has. How many court dates get near only to then be pushed back by a month, t...

I'd Like to See Ol Donny Trump Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam! Jam starts wriggling itself so Ol' Donnay can walk out A New York appeals court agreed to slash millions off of the bond Donald Trump must post to cover a $454 million civil fraud verdict while he appeals it, reducing it to just $175 mi...

This joins the Super Bowl and the Oscars as cover for the IDF that show a lot of people have lost the plot completely

There is precisely one hopeful ending to Cyberpunk and it is still a downer. Cyberpunk is just a world where people cannot win. Which is why its characters long to burn brightly before they burn out And Edgerunners it's good. it's not a tragedy, David gets exactly what he wanted. Also he's named Dav...

House passes bill to ban TikTok

This is not because of privacy concerns, since the US government does not recognize its citizens as having privacy, but instead because of their beef with China and because Meta and Elon Musk are tired of being outplayed

Happy Leap Day, everyone!

Hope you encountered Leap Day Williams and exchanged children's tears for candy

Raiding the GOP coffers will take 10s to 20s of dollars off his debt

Whether Willis stays on or not seems secondary to the actual goal, which is reinforcing the Trump camp's claims that he is being unfairly pursued by a corrupt deep state that seeks to enrich itself. Normally these claims are backed by little more than bullshit claims, but Willis seems to have fucked...

Watching the X-Men cartoon got me into reading X-Men comics which in the 90s were just full of people dying

or having all the adamantium ripped off their skeletons while still alive, things of that nature

Last we saw him he was being taken off to outer space by Lilandra and could never return to Earth. He didn't actually die, so I'm not quite sure how we get here from that ending. Don't think I ever actually finished watching the original series oh so long ago, so I'm not up on how it ended. Is that...

Extremely in character for Xavier to have had his will bound into a novel with a custom cover

The only thing that could be more Charles Xavier is if he had Lilandra and Moira show up at his funeral but intentionally left them out of the will
