Television WandaVision OT - For the Children!

If they’re going to bring the X-Men into the MCU (snore) I kinda hope this show ends with Magneto showing up and helping Wanda. -
No, he doesn’t. He’s the richest man in the world and has a history of manipulating stocks via social media.

Musk does not get the benefit of the doubt in situations like this.

The fact that we’re talking about HRC’s “likeability” is inherently misogynistic. Any traditional, career politician is a chameleon, HRC gets more shit for it than men do because of misogyny. This is not to say that the ONLY reason to not vote for her is the patriarchy, but she takes an outsize beating because of it and that’s not up for debate.

Yeah, I should do that. I’m waiting on a couple things too come in before I finish a bunch of Hoth themed Rebels for Legion...

Nice, thanks for the impressions. If you end up getting paint on the minis, show them off!

I don’t dispute that, but I think that lost in the memes, the stonks, and the tendies is the notion that while some hedge funds got washed, “Wall Street” fattened the bag with the tremendous trade activity that went on, and that individuals who chase trends in the interest of getting rich quickly via day trading are almost always going to get worked. Not everyone is going into the venture with their Snapple money, people popping off about holding and shit going to the moon need SOMEONE to be the mark, “TO THE MOON,” and talking about how this is a crusade is a way for sharps to get fish to ante up. You really wanna fuck over hedge funds, elect representatives that are motivated to regulate them. Anything else is playing whack a mole with one hand and shooting at the craps table with the other. I know which is more fun, I know which is easier to do. Let’s also not pretend that the industry being fucked with didn’t just absolutely thrive through a debilitating recession... hedge funds are going to be fine.

GOW 2018 is absolutely more ambitious than the games that preceded it in the series. But GOW2 succeeds at everything it attempts to do more so than GOW 2018 does. And yeah, it’s fucking dumb, sure. Kratos fucks women until they cum health orbs, he’s a complete moron 100% of the time, etc. But the action is better in GOW2, the pacing is MUCH better in GOW2. Does the story have aspirations as lofty as 2018? No, but again, I’d say argue that GOW2 better realizes its raison d’etre better than 2018 does. Kratos has another wife fridged, her motivations area largely unknown, the primary motivation of the antagonists is unclear, etc. GOW 2018 is a REALLY GOOD game, I just don’t think it succeeds at what it attempted to do as well as GOW2 did. I suppose it gets a couple more points for being more ambitious, but I’d rather have a tighter, better executed game than one that aims higher and doesn’t hit the mark quite as true.

but this was about sticking it to hedge funds and proving the little guy could make a difference and other falsehoods

I just saw this. And I agree in general, yeah. I’ve got good memories of chats with Tali, Liara, Mordin, etc. But I can relive those in YouTube without playing 50 hours of game to get to them. I think I’d get more out of watching someone stream this than playing it myself, since I can be doing something else while it’s going on. I know that’s damning with faint praise, and I REALLY liked Mass Effect. But the combat is just literally never, ever interesting.

You definitely don’t need those moves on the hardest difficulty, either. It’s been a while since I played, but I remember my issue being that a lot of the moves seemed to increase your positioning ability, either by kicking you back, or pushing enemies back... and I just never felt like any enemy required that level of management. It’s still a very good game, I just don’t think it’s a masterpiece or anything. Its reception confirms my bias that showing strong men who have genuine emotional bonds with other characters is all a game needs to get a glowing reception for its characters which says an awful lot about our standards for games, media, and men... And if you put that in an well produced game people you can just rake in the awards.
