Yeah, pretty much. It was originally geared towards evangelical Christians, and while it was critical of Trump at first, it eventually turned fash around 2020 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Babylon_Bee

Javascript’s type coercion is rather insane, yes, but there is an actual, practical reason it’s done. JS, having been designed to be run in web browsers, wants to avoid blowing up and crashing at all costs. If it gets an unusual type comparison, usually the result of a bug, it tries to return something, such that the script can continue running if at all possible. In JS’ mentality, keeping a page running, even if it might not completely function properly, is preferable to throwing an unhandled exception and completely crashing it.

Whether or not that is the right approach is debatable, but there is at least some logic to it. Personally, I think that the proliferation of Node letting JS run outside of browsers exacerbates a lot of JS’ issues, but TypeScript does a lot to make it look like a more sensible language.

I like how RealD looks well enough, but the glasses tended to give me a mild headache after a while. I’ve been able to wear VR headsets without much issue in the handful of times I’ve been able to try them, so maybe that would work better, but I don’t think I’ve actually worn one for multiple hours at a time, so who knows.

The thing that I think a lot of people forget about the first Avatar is that it was pretty much the first big blockbuster to be available with those RealD 3D glasses. I distinctly remember wanting to go see it so I could check out RealD and find out if it lived up to the hype.

Of course, it had the James Cameron name recognition, so it was probably going to be pretty successful regardless, but I don’t know if it would have been quite so record-shattering if it weren’t for the novelty of RealD, combined with the higher ticket price of 3D showings.

The longer dems can keep the Epstein issue in the public consciousness, the better. If it slips from the news cycle for too long, the average voter will forget about it, and at that point the whole thing will be moot. It doesn’t matter if they actually succeed, the longer they can draw this out, the more damage it will deal.

They didn’t seem to fill quite the same role as modern generals, as we usually saw them leading troops into battle directly rather than overseeing large strategic battle groups or delegating orders to subordinates, but even in the films, the Jedi were directly referred to as generals during the Clone Wars.

“General Kenobi!”

Ohh, that’s probably what it actually is

It looks like “Cream Blindness” to me, not that it makes any more sense…

Every now and then I see something from the Babylon Bee when they’re not being expressly political, and it makes me think they could be maybe a halfway okayish humor site if they weren’t so grossly hateful and bigoted most of the time…

I love the gameplay of Dead Rising, but the time limits and save point restrictions really do not mesh well with how I want to play it. The game has the perfect setup to be a sandbox where you could just fuck around with finding silly ways to kill zombies, but the time limits - even if they are as generous as people say - just give me constant anxiety and I can’t really relax and screw around with it like I’d want to.

I like the idea of Scaled, but last I tried it, most of the posts were one-pointers and it didn’t feel that much functionally different from New.

Even Master Yoda doesn’t have a space weed count that high!

Yes, because the Hutts would be totally cool with a couple of Jedi rolling up to their gambling dens and blatantly cheating for several hours. Screwing over one random used car salesman on a single bet is much easier to get away with.

Not to mention the whole “he could be the chosen one” angle, at which point freeing Anakin was just as important to Qui-Gon as getting off-planet.

…Me? Overthinking a silly meme? Noooo…

Goddammit, Nappa!

It was a self-imposed challenge.

I’ve always been curious about Arma, but I’m not sure if I’d like it… It appears to have a lot of depth, but the learning curve always seemed rather steep.

Starfield faked me out for a bit when I took the character creation perk that gave my character living parents that I could go visit and would show up from time to time. They were funny and adorably charming, and I thought it was an inspired touch. Little did I know that was the absolute best part of that game…

Kung Pow is one of the rare few movies to do the whole “we’re intentionally making a campy, so-bad-it’s-good movie” and actually succeed in emulating that aesthetic and also making something enjoyable to watch.
