RIP Marcia Lucas. Feel like the internet's scramble to turn her into the Actual Genius Behind Star Wars does a huge disservice to how her input and collaboration helped a number of great movies.

Bethesda fans like to complain about how small the cities in the games feel like but the moment a BGS game decides it would rather go with scale rather than interactivity (New Atlantis in Starfield) people lose their minds. (Yes, I'm aware a good bit of it is Goombaposting.)

Honestly, it kinda feels like post-2010 or so, the art of 'how to do an on-screen space battle' has been lost or at least badly fumbled (honorable exception to The Expanse).

It's funny how Microsoft in 2021 looked like it had a stacked video game studio lineup... then for some reason (coughAIcough) decided that wasn't worth it, axed a ton of people, and are now left scratching their heads after losing out to Sony and Nintendo again

I'm pretty sure this was at least a couple of the experiment Vaults in Fallout

I should just ignore this sort of click-bait, but it really bothers me... I hate this world-view, where some games are inherently "obscure" no matter how popular & beloved - that if you're not a AAA or a few specific types of indie, you will never get the same exposure & standing in games media.

For a century from 1815-1917 Russia was *the* guarantor of conservatism in Europe, making Prussia and Austria look moderate by comparison. Seems they want to regain the role

I know this isn’t always the case with all writers and adaptations (such as Zach Snyder) but I do feel the need to point out that the important thing to understand about the gulf of differences between Clark and Lois isn’t the superpowers, it’s that he’s a cornfed farmboy from Kansas.

When you have the best race pace on the grid and your competitors either lack power, are too heavy, or are too stupid to capitalize on your mistakes.

It’s official. K-POP DEMON HUNTERS is getting a physical release at the end of the year.

Yeah this is why I'm skeptical of the "they were misled" or this was a "wishlist" theories. I think they knew exactly what they were signing up for, but also at the time they made the seemingly common mistake that Trump was a lot more popular than he really is.

573 years ago, on the 29th of May 1453, Sultan Mehmed II captured Constantinople after a 53-day siege. This signalled the definitive end of the Byzantine Empire, and by extension the Roman Empire. #otd #history 🗃️

Once again reminded of the American man who was furious about traffic exiting Monza (lol) and dealt with it by shouting racial slurs about Lewis Hamilton He had a Paddock Club pass around his neck. These are the people F1 as a whole will see as equals and peers, and will grovel to at any cost

Three fantastic drivers IMHO

🚨 The 3 longest active streaks of consecutive years with a podium Max Verstappen - 11 (2016-2026) Charles Leclerc - 8 (2019-2026) Lando Norris - 7 (2020-2026)

been stewing over this for about 24 hours because it's hard to know where to start talking about it except wow, if this isn't the worst qualities of motorsport - the ones it now tries to keep hidden away in those cloistered VIP areas - gallery showcased www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

The fact that parts of the industry are reporting record profits while so many developers feel exhausted, uncertain, and disposable only makes the disconnect feel even greater.

1/ Oh god this again. Straight mode isn't an overtaking aid! If anything, straight mode actually makes overtaking (very slightly) harder, since the leading car can trigger it earlier and therefore get a bit more gap, somewhat akin to a corner exit. Except...that might not be true either:

Yea it's people doing that thing where people pretend the person never made anything good just because of them turncoating on people. I wish people would realize there's no shame in liking their previous works because making art isn't some big virtue that fully refects the character of the creator.

Japan's population dropped by a record 2.5 percent in the span of five years, census data shows. It was the biggest decrease since the twice-a-decade survey started in 1920, and more than triple the decline recorded between 2015 and 2020 u.afp.com/SDGE

Absolute tragedy. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Only 11 drivers in F1 history have more podiums than the 61 podiums Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have shared together 🤯 That's the definition of levels above.

getting blocked for this reply probably felt good as hell

I want the American people to understand that: 1. The worst elements of the Trump administration are taking notes as we speak, 2. In-depth international coverage is even more crucial than ever before to know thy enemy, and 3. Therefore billionaires are racing to dismantle international desks

American legal culture is what you get when you combine Anglo common law with German litigiousness apparently.

Another thing worth pointing out here is that the Russians literally did do a very big, very important, genocide of Muslims in the last stages of Imperial Russia, one with long-standing regional reverberations. ausisjournal.com/2023/12/06/t...

That’s not a choice between “doom” and life for anyone on the planet. It’s “will we have a horrific humanitarian crisis, which, again, will not prevent young people in school in the US right now from living full lives” This matters! Especially for young people like I was who suffer from OCD!

Dumb slop account engagement bait post anyway. Oh you mean the 2 most populous wealthy countries, so 2 countries that send a lot of tourists overseas, also have a lot of problem tourists? Woah, man.

OKC never led tonight, making this their first wire-to-wire loss in the playoffs since 2016 in Game 1 of Thunder/Spurs!

Spurs win by 27 points, the largest margin of victory in an elimination game in Spurs playoff history.
