I like how he says it was all a setup, but the dude was convicted. That means they had plenty of evidence and proof, because it takes a lot more than allegations to convict someone of something like that.

Insert some sort of clever "WHAT I ORDERED ON WISH" meme joke here...

They should just switch to CG, image how much better everything would look.

My boys (and most of their teenage friends) spend a lot of time in Roblox (and also Rocket League).  There are some Roblox games that they have played for a long time (i.e. TDS, Arcane Odyssey) and eagerly await updates for.  These game are mostly free, and it's a social experience for them (as they play with their friends).  Some of these games have incredible player counts.

I don't want to hijack this thread but maybe I do, whatever... but yeah, it's very weird... both of my kids play a lot of video games... but what is bizarre to me is that they always play the same games over and over again. I just find it weird how little interest they have in new gaming experiences. They've been playing the same few games for years and years and years. They do dabble in other stuff, but 90% of their playing time the last 5 years have been with the same few games that sort of phase in and out of favor.

I mean, I guess that's how I am, because I play the same small handful of mobile games and also never seek out new games... but that's now that I am old and set in my ways. When I was young, I played everything. I wanted to try every kind of game and I played so many different games. Kids these days... they have access to literally EVERYTHING and yet, it's just Fortnite all the time.

I guess they go where their friends are, but sheesh... it's a little weird. If you ask me. (and no one did)

That's some real growth for the average fox news person! In years past they would have made zero distinction between one Semitic group and another. Now they're calling for genocide of a particular group. Someday they may see people as actual people! 

Not really, as bad as Fox News comments haver been over the years, I've noticed the overall level of discourse on there has been trending more and more violent, belligerent and desperate. I think die-hard right wingers are feeling more and more backed into a corner and persecuted and it's going to get ugly.

It's been amazing to learn just how much of an expert so many people are on this. Who knew we had so many people over here with such deep and thoughful well considered opinions on this topic that they have all cared so deeply about for so very long.

This comment isn't directed toward this board, but just the world in general...

The Fox News comments section is about 90% people just calling for mass extermination of all Palestinians with zero nuance.

I don't have anything to add beyond... good god is Roblox a giant turd factory. My kid plays it non-stop and I do NOT understand the appeal.

Pick from thousands of home made ugly weird glitchy garbage games. Thousands! Think of the possibilities! Let's spend $20 on coins on some random terrible buggy garbage fest I won't be playing in a week. That's a fantastic idea!

This is the best news ever.

Even as someone who is basically 100% inside of Apple's ecosystem, this has always been super frustrating. Like 50% of the people I interact with have Android phones and it will be nice to not have every single group text be completely borked up... it will be nice to not have cute videos of my niece look like they are digital video from 1997. It will be nice to be able to text my cousin hockey clips from my son and not have them be postage stamp size...

It will just be great. I've always hated Apple's stubbornness here, because as an Apple user, it greatly affects us to. It just made it worse for everyone.

It's still insane to me that prominant right wingers have full permission from polite society to joke and mock this incident.

I don't really give a fuck, I just find it very hypocritical. If someone attacked McCarthy's wife with a hammer and Biden made jokes about it, it would result in months and months and months of non-stop outrage on Fox News and everywhere. It would be 50% of their coverage for weeks.

This is pretty great... and so so so much better on a big TV than on the little screen. I have my own personal Switch Lite that is only for my use (because my kids destroy everything) and I had been playing it on that and it just kills my thumbs with the weird grip and bad ergonomics... figured out how to make my saves sync (easy, I just didn't have it on) across devices and now it's so much better playing on the main switch on an actual TV.

Does he eat Oreos as power-ups?

The Directors Cut makes some pretty massive changes to the ending of the movie if I remember correctly...

This used to be one of my favs and I haven't seen it since I was a teenager... I might actually go check this out.

Edit, so it's out one day only and that one day is a Wednesday???

No, but I miss the days in my childhood when I would listen for the mail coming and run down in hopes that the newest issue of EGM or whatever would be there. I subscribed to like 3-4 gaming magazines at a time and I would read them all cover-to-cover every single month. It's wild to think of how slowly information traveled back then compared to now.

Expectations for this movie were already incredibly low and somehow the trailer still managed to slide in under them.

In my entire life, I cannot name a single instance where I felt like something negative happened to me because I was Jewish.

I've heard a decent amount of bad Jew jokes or messed up commentary by people who did not know I was Jewish, but never from progressives, almost always from conservative country folks.

Most people treat Judaism as an interesting novelty.

He's the perfect person to run for President. A true compromise candidate... one that everyone can hate equally.

I've seen some early review on tin Tok that were pretty positive... oh well...

I think I'm pretty much off the Marvel train at this point anyway. I've only seen about a third of the content they've put out the last 2 years or so... including Secret Invasion and Ms Marvel which both seem like they would be important to enjoying this...

I also did not like the Captain Marvel movie very much.

They are pro whatever their church or Fox News tells them to be. They are dumb stupid idiot people who believe dumb stupid things because they are dumb and stupid.

Feels unnecessary.

I don't even know, that's why it's so dumb.

My guess is that it's either in response to something one of the other sub contractors did or the owners of this general contractor are just extremely pro-isreal.

My wife's company is owned by evangelical mega trumpers, so I'm sure they are okay with it.

My wife works for a construction company and has just been sent a rider to an existing contract that makes them promise not to boycott Israel or use any other companies that are participating in a boycott of Israel or they will lose the contract. This is from a large local general contractor construction company for a job for a community college in Missouri. Good times.

A live action Zelda movie is a bad idea.

Werner Herzog as Link.

Christopher Walken should be Link.
