Outer Wilds gave me super anxiety when playing it. Something about the time loop aspect and having to redo a bunch of stuff.

Wait, what do they say about people who play minesweeper?

Is this post saying that if the landlord CAN afford the house without you paying rent, then it’s justified, and in that case they ARE providing you housing?

As someone who’s watched all the anime and read all the manga from the beginning, I’ve been watching the live action and so far really enjoying it.

No, the plot is not entirely accurate, the characters aren’t 100% the same, but honestly I wouldn’t want them to be. The One Piece manga and anime just wouldn’t translate 100% to live action and be a good show. I think the adaptation and the changes they make work very well for a live action show (without spoiling anything).

The things they needed to get right, they did, IMO. For example, Luffy’s pure optimism, the relationship within the straw hat crew, the emotional scenes (I cried a few times)…

A lot of people expect and want to see a 100% faithful adaptation, but that doesn’t make sense to me. If I wanted to watch/read One Piece, I would just watch the anime or read the manga. As a OP fan, the live action serves a specific purpose for me which is just to relive some of the moments I watched as a kid with real people and to see different take on the story. I think the show achieved that.

Exactly. I don’t care if it’s 3.5mm or usb-c, it’s the quantity of ports that matters.

Yeah I thought the same. They’re talking specifically about the event that happened on Lothal. Still not sure why they didn’t just say a specific number instead of just “a few years ago” but that was my understanding.

Not saying you’re wrong and I’m not a lawyer either so I don’t know, but that sounds pretty stupid for multiple reasons.

1. How would any website moderator even be able to moderate their site and report it to the authority if just by reporting it they’re confessing to doing something illegal. There would be nothing stopping people from posting it everywhere if there’s no legal mechanism for reporting it.
2. “Possession” a.k.a ownership is a huge part of the law. You can’t just say that just because I’m aware of something existing, I’m in possession of it. By that logic I can go to any jewelry store, look at a diamond and it becomes mine.

I have all my fingers crossed that we’ll see a more agreeable, Zahn verstion of Thrawn, instead of just a ruthless, ends justify the means kind of character.

Luthen’s monologue in Andor. Some of the best dialogue in all of Star Wars.

The Vader hallway scene gives me chills every time. We need more Vader badassery in live action.

Gotta agree with this. I have a big workstation machine at home for work, and a thin & light laptop that does the bare minimum that I use for travel. It’s 2 lbs but still has a dedicated graphics card and good enough to do light CAD work. Everything has a practical purpose, it just depends on your specific needs.

I’m pretty sure plenty of companies including Lenovo still make chunky workstations, no?

The sound of styrofoam rubbing together. Something about that specific frequency revolts me.

Tons. I don’t like super political stuff but I do like reading local news sites to know what’s going on around my city and neighborhood. Also a bunch of food related sites, tech stuff…

Feedly. No ads unless the news article itself is an ad lol

No man you glance at it like you would glance at a rear view mirror.

Same here, I tried getting into this game and I love the concept but actually playing it gives me too much anxiety!

Dang. My faucets only provide water.

I would argue that the Cube Rule belongs in the same annals of history as any work by Plato and Aristotle.

I don’t think of it as “how much does this person make”. Each channel is a business, and the YouTuber is a business owner. The things they buy for videos are business expenses. Only part of the channel’s income goes towards the YouTuber personally (like a salary). Some channels have actual employees they have to pay such as editors, event organizers, managers, which in turn work to make the channel bigger and earn more money.

If you think of them as businesses (companies), the fact that they’re buying expensive equipment for their business makes much more sense.
