The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They’re usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.
I’ve grown more fond of Wesley as I’ve grown older. He’s only ever really “annoying” in season one, but the entire show was rough back them. I wish we had gotten more of Wesley post season 4, during TNG’s peak years.
Janeway is a fine character. Like all the crew on Voyager she is inconsistently written, but she is one of the better characters. Neelix fits the OP best.
I’m good either way. if the last thing I see in life is my wife’s tits, then I die a happy man!
Its possible. I recall reading somewhere that they regret the ManBearPig episode. Good on them for being able to change and grow.
Still, unfortunately the damage has been done.
South Park has always been Right Wing. Trey and Matt are self proclaimed “Libertarians”. There’s a significant overlap in the Venn Diagram of Joe Rogan bros and South Park fans. “They make fun of both sides bro” and yet some of their most enduring cultural contributions are downplaying climate change and dehumanizing trans people.
They may clutch their pearls about MAGA now, but their promotion of political apathy among Gen X and Millennial men is part of why we have MAGA.
This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote
"Unarmed and/or “innocent” beings may be hunted if they:
Are the specific objective of a hunt."
Sorry Op, you’re still screwed.
Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.
Even where there is viable public transport, there’s a stigma against using it. The city I live in has a decent and cheap Metro system. It’s reasonably clean, mostly runs on time, and you only have to deal with the occasional crazy. I took it for a summer after a car got totaled and it was fine.
Yet I work with a bunch of impoverished young people who spend $30-$40 on Ubers every day getting to work. I’ve suggested taking the bus to many of them, there’s even a stop right outside our workplace, and they are always dismissive and disgusted by the idea.
Humanity stands on the brink of self-destruction because we have yet to overcome the primitive, selfish aspects of our nature. I have to believe that any civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel—without having destroyed itself along the way—must have achieved a certain level of cooperative enlightenment.
Lying, the secret to success that THEY don’t want you to know
100%. The graphics may be dated but gen 2 is peak Pokemon aesthetic. Peak sprites and soundtrack.
Ask me any other day and my answer will be different, just highlighting a few GOATs this tread is neglecting.
1: Raging Bull
2: Citizen Kane
3: Dr. Strangelove
I still enjoyed the first game but wasn’t one of the lead devs on KCD a capital G Gamer? I remember some… interesting tweets from him. Was he booted or did he change his ways?
Edit: Derp, should have just read the article before commenting. Fascism eats its own yet again.
Ah yes, my vegetable plot lots in Manor Lords!
Unrelated to the opsec, why is a SpongeBob Movie premiering on Netflix? Isn’t Nickelodeon Paramount?
As someone very burnt out on Marvel, I’m cautiously looking forward to this. Daredevil was the best thing to come out of the MCU.
Paramount did Halo but yeah. I think a key difference here is that there is actually passion and care for the source material on the production team rather then a bunch of Nepo hires trying to do their own thing with an IP they have been forced to work with and don’t really care for.
Many misconceptions about the medieval period stem from the fact that the average person doesn’t even know when the medieval period was. To most laypeople, the entire span of time between the fall of Western Rome and the Industrial Era is considered “medieval.” This is an incredibly broad stretch of history that can actually be divided into two distinct eras. The latter of these eras—spanning from the late 15th to the early 19th centuries, depending on the region—is often referred to colloquially as the Renaissance, the Colonial Era, or the Enlightenment. Most historians, however, use the broad term “Early Modern Era.”
Interestingly, many misconceptions about the medieval period actually originate in the Early Modern Era. For example, the famously gruesome methods of torture and execution often associated with the medieval period largely belong to the Early Modern Era. In comparison, torture and execution in the medieval period were relatively simple and practical. Similarly, in relation to the article, it was the people of the Early Modern Era—not the medieval period—who had truly questionable hygene.
There are a few key reasons why hygiene declined in the post-medieval world. The main factor was the rapid growth of urban centers, which led to nearby waterways becoming polluted with human waste. With clean water harder to obtain, people bathed less frequently. The introduction of sugar from the New World into the European diet also wreaked havoc on oral hygiene, and it took centuries for proper dental practices to develop. Finally, as the article points out, there were many widespread misconceptions about hygiene and its role in preventing disease, particularly with regard to the much-feared Black Death.
In short, William the Conqueror was likely a well-groomed man, while George Washington probably stank.
And Cyberpunk
I had mixed feelings about the first season. I’m more of a West Coast Fallout Fan then an East Coast Fan, so while I can acknowledge the show is well produced and entertaining, I cant help but be irritated by the direction its taking the franchise. I’m interested but cautious of season 2, especially since its content will now align closer to my favorite game in the series. I’m also doubtful of the long term success of any show from the creators of Westworld. I’ve been burned before.
