A culturally relevant joke at our expense that still has class? See guys, it IS possible. You, in fact, CAN make fun of America without going “lol your children get shot lol”.
Okay, but you do realize that comeback makes you look bad right, not us? No matter your reasons or intentions, you are mocking children being murdered. Like in the example below:
American: lol British people eat spotted dicks.
A brit: lol American children get shot at school.
Wow. What a zinger, you really got me with that one, a fool I was to not recognize the comedy of children dying horrifically.
(To be clear, I didn’t come up with that example randomly. I’ve seen the mocking of spotted dick be met with “lol child murder” more than once)
America is indeed two continents, North and South. Continents aren’t just connected land masses, they are the major tectonic plates that the earths crust is divided into. North America is on the North American plate, South America on the South American plate.
There ARE some interesting facts on this though. Unlike NA and SA, which ARE distinct continents, Europe and Asia genuinely are NOT separate continents; both are contained on the absolutely massive Eurasian tectonic plate(NA plate is technically bigger, but a lot of it’s in the ocean). Another fun fact is that the absolute most north-eastern part of Siberia is technically part of North America.
If we go by plate tectonics, NA and SA are distinct continents, as they are on different plates. Europe and Asia are definitely one Eurasian continent though, as they are on the same plate.

Amazon has made some decent shows, but has Amazon made any decent adaptations? Rings of Power wouldn’t be completely awful for example if not for the butchering of the pre-existing lore.
Vox Machina is the closest they have, but that’s kinda cheating, the VAs who originally created and played the characters in DnD are, naturally, the VAs for their characters on the show.
Fair, I forgot about The Boys. That being said, it still has the issue of not following the source material very strictly, it’s just that in this case it benefits from that. As far as “edginess” goes, the show is a dull butter knife and the comic is a freshly sharped sword.
Both of you are right. The general public will give this a passing interest at best since it’s not roswell greys or some shit… but this would still be the biggest news in history if confirmed. As far as “big scientific questions still unanswered” goes, actual confirmation of extraterrestrial life existing is only 1 tier of holy-shitness down, imo, from things like fully understanding consciousness or dark matter.
For most of history humanity thought we were alone, and even now(or till now if this is confirmed I guess) the “official” stance is still only “there’s no evidence but the universe is so incomprehensibly large there probably is something, y’know, somewhere. Maybe.”

Bruh, they managed to escalate all the way to God himself. Literal God is reduced to a mere human by the benevolent spawn of Lucifer, somehow, and said spawn becomes the new God. Seriously.
Season 7 is also pretty bad tbh. Hallucifer was hilarious and of course it introduced Charlie, but the Leviathans were so fucking boring. Their master plan was… capitalism?
This is bullshit. Even with multiple refills, the biggest hit to their margins on the soft drinks is the actual cup itself. The syrup is basically free in the quantities they buy it in, and the water is filtered(…hopefully) tap water.
That’s because The Matrix(the movie) is actually a meta-commentary on being trans, the confusing at best sci-fi is just the veil over the actual meaning.
The matrix(the virtual world) represents cisgender. For most inhabitants, everything is totally fine and nothing is amiss, because they are cis.
The ones that notice something is “off” about the Matrix represent trans people. Taking the red pill is the equivalent of leaving the closet. They end up in a world that mostly hates them and want to control/destroy them(the machines represent bigots) and their safety is much lower than before, but they do it anyways because while it was easier to live the lie, they were never truly happy living it. Living in the real world doesn’t guarantee them happiness, far from it, but it at least gives them a chance for it which they never had in the Matrix.
This chip isn’t merely “very spicy food”, it is explicitly designed to be a challenge. One single chip costs $10 and the packaging is literally shaped like a coffin.
Exactly what I was gonna say. The show was just starting to get good again after a couple mediocre seasons, and then they fucking cancel it on a cliffhanger?
It’s easy to miss it if you try the simplest most obvious combination. Player 1 using kb+m and player 2 using controller isn’t an option, both players have to use controller.

A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.
Raytracing, no chance just from a performance standpoint even if it “supports” it, but DLSS is a given. If anything, I’m worried they’ll end up relying on DLSS to get games “playable”, just like what’s happening on PC.
It’ll definitely be DLSS 2, though. No chance they get DLSS 3.
Lmao nope. In my state you cannot be scheduled more than 6 days in a row(for most jobs. Some jobs can go a full 7 out of 7) and employers are required to give one 24 hour rest period… but that’s per job, not cumulative. If you have two jobs, the only thing stopping you from being scheduled 6 days a week at both and working at least one job every single day is if your schedules overlap, in which case you have to choose which job you like more because you’ll probably be fired soon from the one you don’t go to.
Except it’s literally not playable on my system, so I can’t appreciate shit. I meet the minimum requirements, but the second I leave a building interior my fps goes from smooth as butter to unplayably choppy. This is with everything on low, and even the DLSS mod installed.
I’d accept my PC just isn’t actually up to snuff if not for the fact other people with the exact same specs are saying they’re playing at medium settings comfortably. The only way that makes sense is if Starfield IS, in fact, badly optimized.
Happily, PlayStation 5 manages to deliver a creditable rendition of the game, but the now legendary Act Three continues to humble CPU performance - perhaps more than we anticipated going in.
I don’t get all the performance complaints about Act 3. The worst lag I ever had in the entire game was the first time I walked into the druid grove, dropped to 1-5fps for like 20 seconds and then it was more or less fine the rest of the game. One crash in 160 hours of playing, and I’m still on patch 0.2 atm.
That is the full release only. It’s also less than accurate to say 5 hours a day everyday, it was more like 10-15 hours a day with some days where I didn’t play at all.
I get the complaint with starfield since transferring stuff to your companions or ship is such a pain with their awful UI, but it’s not even an issue in BG3.
99% of the time my party members have plenty of room to store all my shit, and in the rare occasion they don’t it’s a sign I have tons of shit to sell. On the even rarer occasion I run out of room in a situation where I can’t easily leave, I can just send my extra crap to camp. Mind you, besides Shadowheart(Str 18) me and my party members all have base strength.

The pictures are usually what I need from those forums though. Ex: Trying to figure something out wrong on my car, find a thread on a car forum thar seems to have my answer… but for the answer to make any sense I need to see the included pictures, which requires making an account on a forum I’ll never use again.
This is what I feel. I’ve finished ToTK and Baldurs Gate 3 once(so far…), but beyond that I haven’t finished a game in probably years. Hasn’t stopped me from having fun in tons of games over the years. I usually play for gameplay more than story anyways, with a couple exceptions.
