If you can afford it, I guess PC since you'll have access to the steam library, Sony exclusives, Xbox exclusives, Nintendo backlog, etc

Given how many Titans Kratos has bodied I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel here.

Maybe also Steve Weibie, Billy Mitchell or any of the twelve year old zoomers who keep killing me five minutes into Apex Legends rounds. Regardless I was thrilled w/ myself to keep up for ten or so minutes on lvl 10 starting speed and when the round was over the score was like 760,000+ vs 80,000. It's not even the fact that it happens, but how often. When it seems like all anyone wants to talk about is AAA stuff, recent indies or Nintendo sometimes it's surprising how popular and seriously-played a game like this still is.

It genuinely feels like one in six opponents in Tetris Effect is a fuckin prodigy at this shit lmao. How does anyone have the time to get so good at a video game, and if you do, why put it towards a video game (Tetris no less)?

The depiction of Thor in this game is kinda triggering the internet despite being fairly accurate to the myths: Here's Your Very First Look at Thor in God of War Ragnarok WWW.PUSHSQUARE.COM God of thunder revealed - Spoilers: Thor will be in God of War Ragnarok. Hardly a shock, considering he's one of the most ...

Is this supposed to be a standalone film, or the start of a new trilogy? Anything been confirmed yet?

Too early to know for sure but I'm guessing the goal was to make it seem like Harry 's gonna be Venom to make Eddie's appearance more interesting/surprising. ^_^

I forgot Krato's son is also named Loki. It'd be cool to play as him in a third game, but if Ragnarok is the finale to the Norse saga, guess that wont happen, or it'll just happen briefly in that one.

This won't be a trilogy? Well dang.

Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart, Wolverine, Spider-Man 2...Insomniac really never sleeps huh

Director's cut, Director's plus...whatever anyone chooses to call it, it's still Kojima's definitive version of the game ^_^

Assuming he chose to call it that. I think I read somewhere it might not've been his call. But even if it is, it kinda fits since the Substance and Subsistence versions of MGS2 and definitely 3 are more definitive than the originals. I'm not sure why there's so many takes expressing concern that DS:DC is just a version of the game with extra random stuff tacked-on.

Kojima's been releasing "directors cut" versions of his games since the PS2 days, hasn't he?

One of those actors who always made you look forward to any show or movie more just from hearing he's in it. Fuck, man RIP

Under the Silver Lake - An engaging enough mystery/thriller/noire to hang out with for a while. I related to it a decent amount and there were definitely some memorable moments, but also I think it's one of many examples of a movie that would be so much better if plot and character behaviors played out more believably. 7/10

Man if that last sentence is the point you're trying to make all along, maybe work a bit more on communicating it and putting it into action . Now if you had said something like "Vaush is mostly accurate here but could've been more precise in his phrasing and should've emphasized more details about it and some of the inconclusively around it, mentioned studies, etc", you'd have a hill to stand on, but claiming he only thinks it's a horse dewormer is uncharitable and false at the end of the day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So yeah of course it can be hard to have the most accurate takes on breaking political events, especially for more complicated ones or ones where there isn't enough evidence to see the bigger picture yet. Streamers are susceptible to it as well - reasonable viewers already know this and take it into account when watching - but those streamers also know that's part of the game and the most credible ones can help you with reducing bad habits that obstruct critical thinking, and getting better at putting it into action consistently. ^_^

Now I'm definitely confused. I've heard of the studies you're mentioning (as far as I know they're debunked), but ultimately you're saying it's more reasonable for an influential political commentator to say "Let's give the whole Ivermectin thing a chance, it might be our best shot against covid, we just don't know yet" instead of pointing out how prioritizing Ivermectin over vaccines is dumb/based in scientific illiteracy, willful ignorance, etc? Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19 WWW.FDA.GOV Using the Drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 can be dangerous and even lethal. The FDA has not approved the drug for that purpose.

He literally didn't . Watch it again, he mentioned its also used for treating humans. I think you're critique here is most sound if you say he should've phrased it more accurately and comprehensively by including more of the deets you mentioned in your recent two posts, but beyond that no. If you're gonna criticize a public figure for misinformation it kinda helps to not have misinformation in your critique of them The main point he's making is how crazy people are for using it to treat COVID, and that it's inffective for that purpose, which absolutely holds up. It's kinda weird you're pushing back so much on this instead of just accepting the fact that even streamers who are good at what they do won't be perfectly accurate sometimes. This isn't even that bad of a fuck up (most of your issues w/ him seems based on not following everything he said in that video) and as far as anyone knows, he course corrected on a later stream but again, feel free to disagree. Even if this isn't one of them, there's certainly legitimate reasons to not be a huge fan of Vaush.

He never said it wasn't used in treating humans sometimes lol. He actually pointed that it is/was, though maybe he should've emphasized it more? I'm not sure why you think he didn't specify this and that everything he says is invalidated because of it

Listen I may like watching streamers like Destiny's content but I'm far from having his memory and recall so everyone's just gonna have to cut me some fuckin' slack here ok lol I get most of my news from Reuters and twitch, not here. I can only be so many places at once and there's so much to keep up with I'm bound to be behind on hearing about at least a few things! And yeah, as Vaush mentioned in that clip I linked, there does seem to be some weird internet meme cult fermenting around Ivermectin, one of many new weirdo online cults and cults that are offshoots of new cults popping up every other week - just another day in increasingly stupid and misinformed America and who knows where else. Ok I'm confused. He said Ivermectin is a medicine often used as a horse dewormer but also for humans sometimes in treating some ailments (mainly parasitic infection), but as far as anyone knows is ineffective against Covid, and that anti-vax conservatives are incorrectly using it for that reason, and when someone like Joe Rogan promotes it, it quantifiably results in a decrease in the amount of people who might otherwise get vaccinated. You're saying there's not much truth to this? What specifically would you say he's getting wrong here? Also even if he did get some things wrong in that video you have to keep in mind that due to nature of the live format, there's always going to be some margin of error with how well fact-checked the research of most streamers will be the day of. It's kinda weird to not expect otherwise.. That amount will vary from streamer to streamer (in the case of someone like Ahrelevant it happens very infrequently, in the case of Hasan it happens all the time, etc). It's the kind of stuff that credible streamers course-correct over time. Vaush defnitely has some bad takes like anyone else, but as far as I know the thing he deserves most critique over isn't the frequency of them but how often he defends them when he should course correct. It doesn't happen super often but it does happen more than it should, so even though he's on point most of the time, it's always reasonable to be skeptical, sure. This is why I'd rank steamers like Destiny, Rele, WickedSupreme and Booksmarts higher as a source of unbiased info - they seem to have a better track record of unbiased takes and course correction when they're wrong. As long as a streamer still has good takes most of the time and makes effort to acknowledge when they don't, I don't see how there's not still some value in getting info from them, but feel free to disagree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh interesting, I didn't know so many people were actually taking Ivermectin (including the versions for animals) lol. Left-leaning and independent news sources are also reporting this. Man, it's complicated but cruel as it sounds, while there's a discussion to be had about public figures using their platform more responsibly in times of crisis, the unfortunate reality is it does get to a point where it makes little sense to put blame on some public figures when people listening to them go that far. I dunno... it's a shame...maybe I'm a psychopath for saying it, but issues like that should probably just be ignored as far as allocating genuine concern and efforts towards prevention. There's still too much normalization of apathy and ignorance (both actual and wilful) towards reducing effectiveness of preventing the spread of the virus to focus on and there's more that can be actually be done about that.
