no games and super expensive

This. Also, there's not really that much of a jump from the regular PS5 - the jump to "4K" was a huge thing to cross for the PS4 Pro/Xbox One X, and there isn't an equivalent one here.

I will say one thing with modern Simpsons is every time I hear Marge speak I wish Julie Kavner would retire before her voice is gone completely.

I'm also hoping when the main cast inevitably do retire that Disney recasts instead of using AI voices.

I think it's more likely that when the main cast starts to go the show will finally end. Julie Kavner sounds the worst, but really not many of them can still manage the voices from 25 years ago.

And then once its over Disney will start dropping the 2000 Simpsons spinoffs they've had in mind since they bought out fox.

The Simpsons is super interesting, because it's just basically never happened before where we've been able to see a TV show develop its own identity and be such a huge part of pop culture, lose it, and then find a new one, all while still maintaining a pretty solid and loyal fanbase.

It's hard to keep being the subversive, edgy cartoon (remember when Simpsons was considered edgy?) when shows like Family Guy and South Park took that away from them nearly 30 years ago. Heck, Family Guy has largely lost what made it exciting when it first dropped, and it still hasn't found a new identity for themselves that still fits the spirit of the show like The Simpsons has.

Modern Simpsons is kind of the kind of sitcom The Simpsons was originally making fun of in the 90s, but is allowed to be its own distinct identity, because that kind of sitcom also doesn't really exist anymore.

I was told it was a lot of fun, but I haven't bothered actually watching it yet.

I mean, booing should be the least being done given the man is currently overseeing a military occupation of his own capital.

The sad thing is, if Trump keels over we have this clown and Maga Mike in succession. We're literally fucked unless there's an election in 2028 to end this shit.

Trump comes off to me like he'd be narcissistic enough to have a Palpatine-esque "blow everything up in case I die so nobody else gets to control the Empire" button. That might be better than letting JD Vance run anything.

It's just you. Literally every single game release for thr past several years has been hordes of people begging for Silksong.

tbf, I thought that was kind of a joke. Like the "Half-Life 3 confirmed" jokes.

My brother set our house on fire and left me to die. He didn't even know I survived. Years later, I resurfaced to get my revenge by holding him down for three seconds and taking his big gaudy belt.

That doesn't even keep up with Matt Hardy's "I'm jealous you won the title, so I burned your house down, rigged explosives to detonate in your face, and killed your dog".

I know of a criminal with over 60 felony convictions who has yet to pay his debt to society.

He's also allegedly involved with the most significant child sex trafficking ring of the developed world.

died at 89. What about being evil tends to keep people alive so long?

I hate it. Why is it choking itself?

I'll probably get used to it like 3/4 through the game. But right now I hate it.

if you want an actual Harry Potter game, no. It feels like all of the soul is sort of removed from the game, and we just have a generic open world action game but you have like a wand instead of a gun or whatever.

If you want a open world action game with Harry Potter set dressing, then it's fine. Game is pretty mid, but probably worth like 12$. The game is like, fine.

You can tell like 85% of the interest went into specifically designing Hogwarts itself (and maybe Hogsmeade - the little town outside of the school), and then literally everything else was just sort of awkwardly thrown in after the fact without much effort.

As if any of Trump's other policies have been based on well-thought-out and rational ideas.

Isn't that just a regular meal from KFC? It just has Guitar Hero branding.

So much trouble with the diagonals on this one. I'll probably try again a couple times and get the score way down, but man I didn't do well this time.

Little Marco says America should walk away because won't affect real Amernicuns.

Right, so when the Iron Curtain strolls up on the Euros, I'm sure Little Marco won't mind.

It'll distract them so America can stroll on through the rest of North America.

Turns out the meeting with Putin the other day was actually just him looking for setting-up-an-invasion tips.

That's what I'm saying. It is just about finding whatever socially acceptable justification they can to attack the people they already hate, even if it means they have to make shit up.

The real question is what are they gonna move onto if the Epstein stuff ever comes out and God-Emperor Trump turns out to not only be a pedo, but also an active component of the most significant child sex trafficking ring of the modern era?

UnsteadyOwl posted...

The people who do this shit are so pathetic. It's so obvious they don't care about protecting children or whatever it is they say they're doing.

They need something to paint the other guys as monsters, and being a pedo is basically the only monstrous thing left republicans don't actively treat as a point of pride.

Gave it a couple tries and was able to get it down to 10. Pretty lucky some places, don't really believe I would be able to make it much lower.

He was fully aware of the relationship Anakin and Palpatine had, but put absolutely zero thought into how Anakin would react if he tried to extra-judicially murder Palpatine in front of him.

Would be a bad sign if that guy was a head of any order.

Trump and Putin decide to merge Russia and America into one big oligarchical ****hole. It doesn't matter that Russia offers basically nothing in this scenario.

Yeah Joker is the far and away #1.

There's a bunch you could get away with for #2, but its still a distant #2.

XY is the game that's sort of stuck with me the most of any of the "recent" pokemon games. Its good enough as it is, but never felt like they actually had a chance to finish it the way they did with other games.

First off, best art style - the "2D style, but in 3D" was fantastic and its such a shame they seemingly immediately abandoned it with Gen 7.

Second, never getting the "third version" to make a more definitive game, makes the whole thing feel so weird. Because there's so much that's underbaked, but in a way that feels like they just didn't have the ability to finish it on time. Like you have 1/2 the puzzle pieces, and you can tell how all the missing pieces fit in, but they just aren't there.

It's the only gen I feel comes off as "unfinished". There are parts I don't like about other games, but stuff like SV feels like its a "complete" game and pretty much what GF was going for, but I don't see that for XY, and so its always stuck with me. Like on its own as it is, its "fine", but it feels like there was so much more, in a way that makes you feel like you didn't get to see the "true" version.

Honestly, most of the franchise isn't very good.

The first movie was good, but that seems like almost an accident. The Book its based on reads like a cheap B-movie on the SyFy channel, its impressive they managed to avoid that so hard.

None of the other movies really do that though.

Jurassic World is fun as like, a big disaster movie, but instead of like, a big hurricane, its a bunch of dinosaurs attacking and I can respect that.

Fallen Kingdom was interesting, but felt like they were trying to push a theme, but weren't willing to actually support it. Like there's a clear theme in the movie thats like "conservation bad?" and then at the end just go "no its good lol" its so weird and clunky and you don't really believe the movie believes its own statement. But this one is the only one I think could have actually have been any better than it ended up.

Like, The Jurassic Park/World movie series is like, max 2/7 right now. At this point nobody should really be expecting them to be good.

Looks pretty dope, but serious question about something going on in AEW here: Who is the Edge/Christian reunion for?

They broke up as a tag team almost a full 25 years ago. In the 18 years I've watched Pro Wrestling, I think they've teamed together once? (now twice I guess). Its been mentioned they were friends, but the two careers really haven't actually intersected very much since the team split up. My entire frame of reference for both of their very successful singles careers have zero influence from them being a tag team.

An easy one this time, but I'm pretty happy about it - I've been doing awful my first runs the last couple.

Does Rambo need an origin story? I thought part of the point was that he wasn't that special in regards to being a Vietnam vet.

Makes him look very fashionable.

The Ring just completes his outfit in a way that makes it abundantly clear that without it Sauron doesn't have "the fit" and therefore, isn't fit to rule middle earth.

Like my 14th attempt, but finally got something I was happy with

That super annoying checkpoint at the end I really shouldn't have gotten, but it was on there just enough to apparently count before it rolled off.

Trump has a pretty long history of just not paying his bills. Why would people even trust this?

Or just something like "after 5 years of service we'll wipe your student loans" and then you'll get fired after 4 years and 11 months.

I remember his kickstarter for this - seemed like a kind of generic story, but a low budget low risk horror movie is probably a great place to start out.

Trailer does seem kind of generic, but definitely comes off as a potentially fun start to open more doors down the line.

I'm actually looking forward to this - might even actually buy a movie like a weirdo to show support.

Stuckmann seems like a pretty cool dude, hope this ends up really working out for him.

His "President Trump" act has always been performative, and in this term we're seeing him get older and older. Mind's the first thing to go and all that jazz.

He was already sundowning during his first term, and you could see just how muchTrump was already slowing down if you compared his 2024 run with his 2016 one. And it seems like he's getting worse quickly.

The problem is that unlike Joe Biden, nobody expects Trump to be capable of doing anything.

Its weird they aren't really trying to distract from it like they were with Biden - they're just letting Trump go out and do whatever because it doesn't matter if Trump is competent or not.

Was doing pretty well until the last one. Just could not make that down shot at the end.

I would love to be able to play some of the classic PS games on my Xbox. Especially given the PS5 and Series X are really similar anyways - when the consoles were coming out the main comments was that they were both just PCs now as it was.

Especially since Sony has had some success sending games to Steam and PC, and the "console war" at this point is a pretty one-sided beatdown, it would make a ton of sense to put the exclusives everywhere.

Every third party game is on both PS and Xbox anyways, I can't imagine porting across consoles would really be that difficult.

Apple's over-pricing has had a more negative impact, because other smartphones have realized they can just charge the same for their high-end phones, and nobody will bat an eye. So there basically isn't an "Apple Tax" anymore, or at least not to the extent there used to be, because Samsung and Google and whatnot have just joined in.

Also, I'm still salty about Apple removing the headphone jack.

Nintendo definitely has problems - If I go back and look for a Switch game from 4 years ago, it's more expensive now than it was then - and that's not even accounting for inflation.

A New Hope is the best Star Wars movie. But the only one I'd put in my top 3 - I think Empire is mad overrated.

What are your 3 favourite Star Wars movies in that case? Though my most irritating Star Wars take is just "I liked The Last Jedi"

Thats the issue, its not the age gap itself, its when the age gap is taking place. As I said above, theres just so much a person experiences and goes through at 19, which youve likely already done long ago at 27.

its not always like that universally of course, but I would have 0 problem with the same age gap if both people were older

This. The gap between 19 and 27 is a lot bigger than the gap between 27 and 35, even if they are technically the same age gap.

Did it again and was able to get my score up to 20 from 38. Still don't know how to get the goal without a ton of shots tho.

I mean, legally there's nothing wrong, but big age gaps are way grosser the younger one of them is. There's so much life experiences that you have between ages 19 and 27, the one who's 27 is clearly a problem here, much moreso than if it was 27 and 35, even though that's the same age gap.

What's the silly thing about this, half your age plus 7?

That's what happens when 1/2 the administration is run by 4Chan s***posters who never grew out of it.

Dean Cain is nearly 60. If ICE was like, a competent military unit like they LARP as, Cain would have been laughed out the door.

Cain being sworn in as an ICE officer should be a statement to what losers ICE are.

Trump keeps pressing the "blow up the economy" button, and is wondering why its taking so long.
