It’s trickle-down with fancier words.

“Wait did you say Martha??”

I mean, you’re right, but I guess I can enjoy the weird plot advancement and character posturing and sort of “buy in” on the movie’s world long enough to get by. I mean, I actually enjoyed Prometheus and The Last Jedi while I watched them at first, but once I left the theater and turned my brain back on, I got angry at how offensively stupid and disrespectful those movies are. I see BvS as just kinda inoffensively stupid and simple in comparison. I’d rather watch BvS 3 times over than either of those garbage fires.

If you can turn your brain fully off, like shut down, hold the power button ten seconds, wait for it to stop blinking, and unplug it from the wall, it can be a reasonably enjoyable dumb action ride.

What it sets out to do, it executes with a reasonable amount of technical prowess. There are scenes that are fun. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch shit explode or someone punch a car through a wall or whatever random thing happens. But it’s easy to lose the zen and find a million reasons to (rightly) hate the movie. I’m glad you like it. I generally enjoy it myself, when I’m in the right mood.

I remember them boasting that an architect contributed to the level design. Turns out, real world environment design didn’t map to early 2000’s game design very well.

Now designing a modern VR game or something, that might be a different story.

Guarantee he hasn’t realized shit. In his mind, it was the best idea in the world when he had it, and now it’s the best idea in the world to walk it back. He’s so brilliant, he was right twice about the same thing.

Whoever wrote this headline hasn’t met a true narcissist.

"Well, it's not all going to be rainbows and path tracing."

Isn’t that like exactly why anyone would buy this thing in the first place?

They just figured out they can say “we won’t do a thing” and then get elected and then do the exact thing and people somehow will blame the Democrats.

The Drinkmate just has a different design that uses a carbonating adapter cap thingy. You don’t have to fizz plain water and add flavorings after. You can just fizz whatever you have directly.

Ugh. Then it’s just a “downvote and move on” profile.

When your sources include an episode of Star Trek TNG, you should maybe stop and reconsider posting your dumb article.

Yep. For those considering a Sodastream who don’t want to support Israeli settlement, the Drinkmate is awesome! Even better than most Sodastreams, as you can carbonate things that are already flavored.

Friendly reminder that this company is co-founded by Palmer Luckey, who sold out Oculus and now creates autonomous military technology that is criticized by the ACLU and many other human rights organizations.

Make your own decisions, but stay informed! I’m very happy with my Analogue Pocket for $20 more than this.
