I'd say whichever lever in each group feels the most like a "Steve" to me.

Nothing against Hamish Linklater, but when your cast already has Diedrich Bader you already have your Batman. He's really underrated and deserves a shot at a serious incarnation of the character.

I love Enemy Mine and hated Picard, so I'll just pretend I didn't read this.

It was probably the best lineup they've had since the 360 days. Doom, Fable, Perfect Dark and South of Midnight are all the ones on my list.

Could have done without the huge CoD bookends, though. People in the room said a noticeable number of people started to leave during that part.

This would be a great screensaver game like The Endless Forest.

This is another reason why "groovy" needs to make a comeback and I've been consciously inserting it into my daily life.

If I had my way all remotely realistic spider pics would be blurred and then also burned. But I'm a wimp.

What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors?

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

Anything by Tool carries really well if you need to battle noisy neighbours.

I had a friend in college who fell deep into the libertarian septic tank. If I hadn't completely cut him out of my life sometime after he called me, verbatim, "a communist who hates freedom," I would send this to him.

I'm one of the few people who thought his Joker was fine. Most versions are heavy on the "clown" and light on the "prince of crime" part. I like seeing him depicted as a gangster rather than just an anarchist, and the modern version of that in Suicide Squad worked for me. The brief scene we get of him in the club has a lot of subtext. You could get an actual sense of how he fit in among and also disrupted the traditional mobs in Gotham by running his own enterprise that threatened them by creating chaos that the other gangs couldn't adapt to. The only thing I'd get rid of is that "damaged" tattoo on his forehead.

Most of that is independent of Leto's performance, though, which is... fine.

The only other thing I saw him in was Blade Runner and he was also... fine. More over the top than anything else in the movie so he didn't really fit in, and he felt tacked on to what would have been a mostly complete movie without him.

I guess that's it. His performances are fine. Not great, but get a lot more hate because he's generally known to be an insufferable, arrogant douche in real life.

I definitely tempered my expectations when I heard about that, at least until we know more about what role he's playing. If he's the main character, I don't think he could carry the film and it could definitely suffer as a result. But as a weird, quirky antagonist like in Blade Runner, even if he's not very good in it the film as a whole could still succeed. Give him a role like Michael Sheen's in Tron Legacy and he could do alright.

I recently watched the D&D movie, so this is what an obese dragon looks like to me.

I think they might be surprised when these highly conservative legislative bodies execute their hometown pastors instead of drag queens.

These are the same people who want to classify being gay or trans or dressing in drag in front of children a sex crime.

An astronaut crash lands on an elongated asteroid with extremely strong gravity. He manages to crawl away from his ship and finds that the gravity in the middle is normal and the gravity at the far end is reversed. Time is also affected by gravity and goes backward at the far end of the asteroid. His dog was injured and he...

Not what you're looking for, but there's an episode of Doctor Who from the Peter Capaldi era with a very similar plot that might interest you. The episode is called World Enough and Time.

It's less about profit and more about sustained growth. During the COVID lockdowns publishers saw a big bump in cash flow due to increased sales and subsidies. That caused them to hire new employees en masse among other investments because in the corporate world there is no such thing as leaving money unspent. Money needs to earn more money because capitalism and shareholders.

After the lockdowns, that extra cash flow receded quickly. The response from publishers to keep their growth rate from also falling is to lay off employees and reduce risks.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Oh shit, that's good. Write that down!"

Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak ( arstechnica.com )

A 2020 Cochrane review that assessed the two clinical trials concluded that "whether adults see their dentist for a check‐up every six months or at personalized intervals based on their dentist's assessment of their risk of dental disease does not affect tooth decay, gum disease, or quality of life. Longer intervals (up to 24...

This is one of those cases where I invoke my policy of "don't let the person charging you money for something tell you how often you need to do it." It's like companies selling mattresses saying you should replace them every 6-8 years.

When I turned 35 my family forgot about it and I accidentally ran over my neighbour's cat on the way home. I drank more that night alone than on my 21st birthday when my Australian friend fed me shots and I ended up vomiting in my gift bag.

The moral is birthdays are overrated.

Or did she remember that every other day wasn't your birthday? That's how you show you really care. She only forgot about one.

There's a similar network in Calgary, Alberta called Plus 15 that is the largest in the world (16km). I used to work in a connected office building.

It's definitely my favourite of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. I really like the story in it, focusing on a family caught up in the war.

If you haven't already checked it out, Armed and Dangerous is by the same studio and is very similar in terms of gameplay and humor. Not quite as polished, but a lot funnier in my opinion.

I saw this Criken video a while ago of him playing it with friends and it looks awesome. The video is hilarious too.
