"Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack," Kathleen Kennedy revealed to Rolling Stone about developing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. "Theres no source material. We dont have comic books. We dont have 800-page novels. We dont have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be. We go through a really normal development process that everybody else does. You start by talking to filmmakers who you think exhibit the sensibilities that youre looking for."

Syndicate wasn't that bad. Kinda enjoyed it tbh

Wolfenstein, too. Though it wasn't a great Wolfenstein game, it was a decent FPS. I think they fell into the trap of trying to shoehorn some sort of Bioshock-esque gimmick into the game. But it was still fun imho

Raven developed another mediocre-level FPS around that same time called Singularity that had a sort of bullet-time/time travel gimmick. It was a pretty solid game though. Liked it more than Syndicate and Wolfenstein, if you're looking for suggestions

I might've played Turok, but I have no recollection of it. Liked the older games, so I would've played it were it on my radar at the time. I think I played AvP but don't remember much of it. I'll have to look up gameplay videos to jog my memory. Don't recall playing the others.

Only games I'm interested in but can't play for whatever reason. Mostly play on PS4 and Switch, so if a game is on Xbox, PC, VR, etc. I will watch a YouTuber play the game, but usually just enough to get a sense of what I'm missing, not to see the game played through in its entirety.

Examples include Ori and the Blind Forest, Escape From Tarkov, for starters.

How can somebody bribe somebody with money that a country already publicly vowed to pay?

By withholding said money as a bribe in return for favors that would have benefited Trump, not the nation.

("Oh, he decided to just randomly call somebody in a restaurant and talk loudly enough that we could hear him even without the phone!")

They didn't simply eavesdrop on the president, genius. There are staffers whose job it is to make transcripts of White House conversations. People were listening in on the phone call for the express purpose of making a record of the call.

TopicArizona sheriff's deputy tackles 15 year-old boy with no arms or legs

The boy responds that he does not have a problem. But after a brief back-and-forth, the deputy raises his voice and appears to become angry. The deputy shouts: "I will raise my voice to you whenever the [expletive] I want, you understand?"

C.J. then interjects: "Hey, you asked him a question, and he answered!" The deputy yells back at C.J.: "Shut the hell up!"

The officer orders the 16-year-old to go back to his room, but the boy responds that he is finishing his cereal and isn't allowed to eat in his room.

The deputy approaches C.J., orders him to stay out of the situation and again tells him to "shut the hell up." The boy tells the officer to "get the [expletive] out of my face." The deputy later says: "You're going to get arrested, too."

Later in the video, another person in the room appears to take over the cellphone recording as C.J. is handcuffed and slammed into a wall by the deputy.

Feinman said Immanuel and C.J. were arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to juvenile detention. Immanuel was originally charged with disorderly conduct, but that case has since been dismissed, according to Feinman.

"I'd like people to imagine that this is their child," Feinman said.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/arizona-sheriff-s-deputy-tackles-15-year-old-boy-no-n1083526

The Pima County Sheriff's Office in Arizona will conduct an internal investigation after a deputy was caught on cellphone video tackling a 15-year-old boy with no arms or legs, an incident that the local public defender calls "unconscionable and horrific."

The eight-minute video, first reported by local station KOLD, shows the boy yelling as the sheriff's deputy pins him to a kitchen floor inside a Tucson group home, restraining the quadruple amputee. The incident was recorded by another boy at the group home whose head was later pushed into a wall.

"These are boys who are already traumatized. That's why they're in a group home. These are children who society has discarded and left behind," said Pima County Public Defender Joel Feinman, who is representing both boys and withholding most information about them to protect their privacy.

"For them to be assaulted by an armed deputy with a badge and a gun, the personification of the very organization that is meant to protect and serve them, is absolutely terrible," Feinman said in a phone interview Friday.

The incident took place on Sept. 26 after an employee at the group home called law enforcement to report that the 15-year-old, Immanuel, had knocked over a trash can. Feinman said Immanuel, who is in state custody because he was abandoned by his family, was upset over a recent school suspension.

The deputy who responded to that call apparently found that Immanuel was disturbing the peace and restrained him, according to Feinman. C.J., a 16-year-old who lives in the home, then started recording the incident from a nearby room while he ate a bowl of cereal, Feinman said.

The video shows the deputy, who is white, crouching on the floor and putting a headlock around a shirtless Immanuel, who is black. The boy becomes agitated, loudly pleading with the officer to let him go. The deputy seems to loosen his grip, and Immanuel tries to get away.

That's when the law enforcement officer tackles him, bringing him to the floor by a refrigerator and pressing down with his body weight. The boy can be heard yelling. The deputy eventually allows Immanuel to get up, and he asks the boy if he has a problem.

What kind of argument is that?

"We shouldn't be so worried about people getting shot in schools because more people get shot other places."

We should be concerned with all gun violence, and there are politicians and activist groups tackling all forms of it. But they need to do more, or at least actually do something instead of just talking about doing something all the time

Also, gang and drug trade related gun violence has been on people's radars for decades. Not sure why you think that just because a school shooting gets reported that means that everyone forgets other forms of gun violence.

And if you don't think improving access to resources for treating mental health will help in "the ghettos" then you don't understand the issues affecting the poor. There have been studies into FAS, which is prevalent in lower income communities, linking FAS to violence later in life. And that's just one small facet of mental health.

If you think mental health is not a factor in poor people shooting each other, your head is in the sand.

When people say they want to prevent school shootings, that doesn't mean they don't want to prevent other shootings. The drug war is a whole separate issue, connected through gun violence.

That's the only thing that gets people excited, so I assume yes.


Nope.

There's a certain spectacle to a school shooting that the media cannot resist, given the general age of the victims in what should be a safe environment, but they're far from the only mass shootings (workplace/night clubs/concerts/etc) and even further from the only shootings that get reported, though I will concede that higher body counts get a signal boost nationally

have you actually looked up the individual cases of those "shootings"? they include someone firing off campus and the bullet happens to hit somewhere on the premises hurting no one as a "school shooting" or someone who commits suicide in the parking lot or by someone who got shot via a robbery as a school shooting


Oh OK my mistake.

Hey everyone, as long as people aren't hurt, or are only hurting themselves and no one else, we should be A-OK with shootings happening in public places. Nothing to be concerned with.

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/470321-aarp-exec-takes-apparent-swipe-at-ok-boomer-line-were-the-people-that-actually

https://www.newsweek.com/aarp-apologizes-ok-boomer-retort-says-point-divorced-its-context-social-media-brouhaha-1471670

A senior official with the AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, on Tuesday took an apparent swipe at millennials over the popular OK, boomer message, arguing that the older generations actually have the money.

"OK, millennials. But we're the people that actually have the money," Myrna Blyth, senior vice president and editorial director of AARP Media, told Axios in an interview in which she addressed the group's success with its digital and print assets.

The remarks referenced a meme that pushes back against older generations' criticism of millennials and Generation Z. The two-word refrain of "OK, Boomer" has been embedded in dozens of viral posts on platforms such as Twitter and TikTok. The line gained further attention last week after a 25-year-old New Zealand lawmaker used it to dismiss a colleague who heckled her as she spoke about climate change in Parliament.
