Curious about this too

It depends on how far the desk is. In my gameroom, I have my desktop PC connected to 3 monitors plus a very long HDMI cable running to my Samsung TV. You could also stream to the TV wirelessly, but then you introduce some latency.

nobody buys consoles because they want to save money. everyone knows PC is cheaper due to steam sales and no online fees etc. people only buy consoles for exclusives or because they are tech illiterates and they paid someone to hook their ps5 up to their tv for them

I find that unless the game has been out for a long time, I can actually find console games cheaper (during sales) than PC nowadays. Steam sales are not as good as they used to be. I usually use slickdeals, cheapassgamer, and gg.deals to find the best prices.

Why compare the cost of just 2 PC parts to a complete system/console? For me, I would choose a $500 console over a cheap budget PC.

If you have the money to build a mid to high-end PC, that would be preferable though.

Just started watching last night and finished the first 3 episodes, I like Lucy's character so far. Too bad Sasha (girl from ED theme/trailer) was gone before the start of the series though.

I'm considered a casual when it comes to anime as I only really watch the more popular, well known stuff. I'll watch dubbed or subbed depending on the setting and characters usually. Mostly 'western' characters (ex. FMA, AoT, Spy x Family, ect), dubbed. Mostly Asian characters, subbed. An exception is if I find a major character's voice super annoying/distracting, I may switch. If I rewatch an anime, sometimes I'll also switch on the new watch through for something different.

It could just be a normal bear market rally, but earnings haven't been as bad as people thought they would be. Gas/oil prices are coming down. Also, some people interpreted that Powell said the Fed would cut rates sooner than expected after raising them to around 3.5% or so. I personally don't think they will cut rates that soon unless inflation goes way, way down.

This is so strange to me. There are more white people than any other race in America. Why wouldn't they have more white people than any other race in the movies? Of course they are more white than other races, it's a movie made in America where that's what more people look like than any other race. A chinese movie is probably mostly Chinese.

The US as a whole is like 75% white, but most of these movies take place in major diverse cities like New York, not rural America though.

Isnt marvel in the middle of like a half decade long thing where all the mutants are living on some sort of sentient island cult base that for some reason is letting all the mutant badguys also be on the ruling council like mr sinister

This is a really weird choice considering I have no idea how this fits into the persecuted minority metaphor

It started in 2019 so about 3 years ago. Xavier and Magneto find out that mutants basically lose every time in the future, so they decide on trying to change things by bringing all mutants together on Krakoa (mutant island) so they have a better chance. They also basically solved death and can bring any dead mutant back to life and are currently in the process of resurrecting 16+ million mutants.

Again though

Angel, Riley, Spike that dude that hit and quit her

A lot of Buffy's plots revolved around her wanting big juicy dicks.

"Oh yeah she likes girls too but only hot ones. It just never came up all this time she was chasing bad boys." does just feel like fanservice .

Would feel the same way if Spike and Giles hooked up. It just doesn't make sense.

I only read season 8 a very long time ago, and I think Buffy sleeps with Satsu like twice before ending it and Willow basically says Buffy is not really bi or something... According to the wiki, Buffy gets with Angel and they break up again. Then gets with Spike for a few years and ends the series single as a cop with Faith. Also, Xander and Dawn are together, Angel and Illyria are a thing (with Fred being brought back and sharing her body).
