Pretty much all modern joystick controls are like this and it baffles me. 1% of the stick is walk, 99% is run. Or they don't use analogue input at all and make you hold another button to run. WHY.

It still plays fine with an N64 controller.

Court packing was always the only appropriate response to McConnell's cynical move in 2016. All today's news does is strip off the razor-thin veneer of an excuse he gave for denying Garland. Democrats must be willing to rewrite any rule-- and break any unwritten rule-- that stands in their way, then close the door behind them.

Hyrule Warriors is some pretty good filler. The game is deeper than it looks on the surface, although I'd still characterize it as repetitive. Provided you don't get tired of it, there's a stupid amount of content to see-- hundreds and hundreds of hours if you have the DLC. It would be an understatement to say that the game is generous... it feels like there's no end... which is great if you're looking for filler.

I'd recommend it. At worst, you'll get tired of it by the time you finish the main story. Or, you could still be playing it 300 hours later. It's worth trying.

I don't really get why the Holdo Maneuver gets under people's skin. Tiny ships implausibly take out huge ships in, like, a majority of Star Wars films. The Death Star vulnerability in Ep 4 required a pretty healthy suspension of disbelief until Rogue One gave a whole movie's worth of justification for it. If the Holdo Maneuver bothers you, just tell yourself it only worked because of the Hyperspace Tracker.

I've got nothing against other devs mimicking a good formula, and there's a lot in this Ubisoft game that looks brand-new. That said, there are some elements that are so weirdly an exact copy-paste that it makes me back up in my chair and think, really? There are definitely some bits of laziness in there, but hopefully they're outweighed by new ideas in the final release.

They don't need to get enough episodes to get to syndication any more

I suspect that this is the most correct answer ITT. Although Netflix has sold syndication rights in the past, it's not a major part of their business model in the same way syndication was for cable TV networks. Netflix also tends to order shorter seasons, so 4 or 5 seasons on Netflix can still be well short of the 88 or 100 episodes they'd need to make the sale attractive to buyers.

Without the carrot of syndication hanging in front of them, Netflix is less inclined to hang onto old series which aren't pulling in new subscribers.

Theyre always annoyed at the fact they knew they're going to be renting forever, whereas Gen Zs know were just not going to be able to buy a house.

Gen Z is going to be just as annoyed when they discover that they'll never be able to afford to rent an apartment and instead are forced to live in shipping container favelas.

ST 09 and TFA are spectacular revivals and I don't believe anyone else could have done a better job at setting the table. Unfortunately, both franchises really stumbled after that, although it's not JJ's fault that Star Wars had poor planning.

I'm really surprised at these developments. Ellen seemed like such a nice person... But for her to try to say she's the victim in this situation is really weird.

Everyone in the industry has been talking about it for years, but it's been easy to put out of mind since she never, ever shows that side to her audience.

Edit: I guess there have been plenty of hints in her interviews, which people have picked up on. I haven't been paying close-enough attention.

I did a 100% playthrough earlier this year, for the first time in over a decade. The graphics are rough but the gameplay mostly holds up. The only thing that really annoyed me was trying to destroy automatic turrets from outside their range... even if you memorize their locations, you still have to squint to see the faintest hint of a blue pixel or two to shoot at.

MMX tried to go 3D too early, sure. Still, I wish that the 2010 prototype (developed by the team that split off of Retro) had more time to develop into something. It looked really rough (as all prototypes do) but they had all the right people in place to make something amazing... if only it hadn't gotten swept away in Capcom's fued with Inafune.

I think this kind of thinking is incredibly dangerous at this point, and also assumes a lot about Trump's course of action should he lose.

I don't disagree with any of that... but I think if you don't concern yourself with voter complacency or over-compensating for those wild 2016 Clinton predictions, TC has a pretty defensible interpretation of the current polling data.

I don't have a very high degree of certainty but if I had to place a bet on one possible outcome, this is the most likely. Biden is on the path to a blowout and Trump needs something to change to have a plausible path to winning (e.g. economic turnaround or a sudden advancement in coronavirus treatment / vaccine).

Is he a good comedian?

I don't think he's one of the greats, but Rogan has had a pretty respectable career in stand-up. When you have hours upon hours of airtime to fill, a background in comedy is helpful. He doesn't bring meticulously-prepared, pre-written sets to his podcast like his guests do, but he's funny enough to buoy his interviews with a little bit of levity.

It's a never-ending game of bullshit-whack-a-mole. As soon as you correct them on one thing, they shift to another line of attack without stopping to acknowledge how and why they were wrong about the first thing. I don't know how you have the patience for this, TC, but good luck to you.

This covers Rogan's appeal pretty thoroughly, imo. But maybe even more fundamental than that, Rogan is simply a good host and comedian-- the two most essential skills that all the most successful streamers / podcasters possess.

Also, he's a neutral template of the friend that many guys wish they could hang out with. For some people, the act of watching our favorite stream / show fills a void of friendship that opens up when we become adults, move away from the people we grew up with and become preoccupied with work and marriage. Rogan offers a persistent, one-way "friendship" that will always be there for you when you have time to tune in.
