  1. When I think of the target demo for a Frasoer reboot, I immediately think those people are very likely to subscribe to a new streaming service! ... OLO
  2. The CW isn’t perfect or anything, but them doing this kind of stuff really endears me to them.
  3. Also as a 5’7” man married to a 6’ woman, I applaud Sony for letting Zendaya be taller than Tom in that clip.
  4. The 4:3 thing is fucking wild to me, part of me suspects it’ll be 4:3 until Superman comes back to life and then they’ll stretch it to widescreen like it’s a CBS broadcast of the chariot scene from Ben-Hur or some shit.
  5. I only watch Legends and Flash, but I agree with this take. Similar to my post in the WandaVision thread, I think Flash especially could stand to have... 33% fewer episodes per year and the show overall would be something pretty special.
  6. TFW The CW does Superman’s origin better in minutes than Snyder did in a whole fucking movie.
  7. Snyder would make an absolutely atrocious live action Berserk that I would pay to see and hate myself the whole time.
  8. The Arkham Horror line from FFG is one of my favorite tabletop franchises, I’ve spent a lot of time with Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition. Arkham Horror TCG is probably in my top 3 games ever, it’s quite good. The standards and expectations for storytelling in tabletop games vs video games are pretty stark so I’m curious to see how this is received. FFGs app based tabletop games have been getting better but it’ll be a jump from those to this.
  9. Some of these motherfuckers think Jews started California wildfires with space lasers, one of whom harasses school shooting survivors while outdoors. We’re not dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer.
  10. I keep unfriending people who are at the top of my feed that post nothing but Q / conspiracy bullshit, and people whose content I have not seen in my timeline for literal years keep popping up at the top when I log in. This is absolute lunacy.
  11. He fucks up Dr. Manhattan pretty badly, too. In the comics it’s easy to tell how far away he is from the accident as he gradually behaves less and less human. In the movie he’s got a pretty even keel almost the whole time. In Vietnam in the comic, his face is condemning when he’s dressing down The Comedian for killing the woman, which makes Blake calling him out more poignant... John is “acting” concerned but did nothing. In the movie he’s sorta curious about why Blake did that. Snyder also lets Dan beat the shit out of Ozymandias which... again, dude just misses the point all over the goddamn place, Adrian didn’t feel he had anything to atone for, he wouldn’t have let Dan just beat his ass after so clearly establishing that he doesn’t think Dan is on his level in any respect.
  12. Stuff shrinks when it gets cold. Yet I’m supposed to believe that my pipes are going to burst when the water inside them freezes??? What did the government do to the water to make it expand when it shrinks, what else is in the government water?
  13. ‘ I can’t tell if you’re being serious, a clunker is just something that isn’t successful.
  14. It’s fine to be naive to politics or political takes, everyone has to start somewhere. But if your foot in the door involves comparing yourself to Jews in Nazi Germany, maybe cool off for a fucking minute before mashing send? Come on, now. I didn’t know any Armenians or about Armenian genocide until I moved to Watertown, MA, and my first reaction wasn’t to talk about how my specific struggles were pretty similar. This isn’t difficult. And unless my recall of events is wrong, Pascal talked to her about her putting something like “beep/boop/bop” in her twitter bio to poke fun at people listing their pronouns wasn’t cool, so it’s not like this was the first time, either.
  15. I think you're giving people too much credit. It's way more "grr government bad" than it is worrying that a legislator is going to executive branch something.
  16. Human After All is also the only Daft Punk album that has clunkers on it, so that still tracks
  17. Homework, Discovery, and Random Access Memories are all incredible fucking albums. Human After All isn’t. It’s not like it sucks or anything but it’s EASILY their weakest album. Homework, Discovery, RAM are all statements, they’re fucking shots; Human After All is just a bunch of songs, some of which are really good. Also this.
  18. But if I had a browser open, I hit back, and the last thing I’d done was edit something in Excel... Windows / macOS won’t switch me back to Excel from Safari or Chrome. The way Jason explained it, I had assumed that the Android back button sometimes WOULD bring you to another app. The Xbox One does this and it’s never made a lick of sense to me. Dusty. Now seriously, what did you mean with that keyboard example because I cannot wrap my head around it and I know I’m being dumb.
  19. What desktop OS has an OS level back button? And is it a “back” button or an “undo” button like Riley said? And does it always take you back / undo within an app, or can it sometimes bring you back to a previous app? I think the fact that I can’t get a clear answer on what an OS level button does means the button kinda blows and y’all are just used to it, but I can only imagine the iOS jankery that I’ve developed muscle memory for and don’t even realize I’m behaving around... so I’m not trying to claim any kind of epeen superiority, here. That said I still have no earthly idea what Jason was describing with the keyboard, explain yourself @Jason
