I know, right?
If only he employed, say, 100k people.
If only he revitalized a dead auto factory in Fremont, California and made cars there, again?
If only he invented a product to allow someone to get Internet access anywhere on the planet, affordably?
If only he proved that electric cars were something people wanted, helping to reduce pollution?
If only he revitalized American excellence in space, allowing us to not rely on Russia for orbital boosting?
If I had a loved one who died and a company cloned her but the clone only lightly resembled some of her superficial features but had none of her personality, charm, or experiences and they printed advertisements all over her skin, I’d rather they just never met her at all.
Remember that @valvesoftware's incompetent Steam Deck OLED pricing is not an indicator of what a far larger and more experienced competitor can do for the same price...
...after all, look at the XBOX Ally X price vs SD, and then compare specs...should they cost nearly the same?
My late husband @Totalbiscuit being mentioned in a monetized lazy listicle video by @WatchMojo called "10 YouTubers Who Made Videos When They Knew They Were Dying" is tasteless enough. Plugging their AI slop music project in it as well? Unforgiveable. You should be ashamed.
It's funny because most of Uncharted's big criticisms mostly stem from "she was replaced by a man".
In a world of Amy Hennig's, game devs keep choosing Alanah Pierce.
He-man is a reluctant warrior but very willing hero, and that’s what make him such a great role model for young men, and the new masters of the universe film conveys this BRILLIANTLY!
He-man is a metaphor about restrained but necessary violence in men. Violence is bad, but regretfully necessary to oppose evil. Men have this power, hence the classic catchphrase “I have the Power” and the message about using it with great care and restraint.
This is why making Prince Adam a goofy, uncoordinated, weakling in this adaptation works so well. Adam grew up being reluctant to fight because he was always so bad at combat. As a result, he does not like to fight and always wants to resolve conflict peacefully, but sometimes peace is not an option, which is why making Skeletor such an unapologetic unrepentant villain also works so well. There is no negotiating or redemption for Skeletor. So, He-Man MUST use violence against him, and he reluctantly does but he-man has such tremendous power. Power that could destroy and hurt, so he does not want to unleash all of it, and he keeps it in tight control and restraint, until he finally sees there is no other option and the time for talk is over.
His answer to Skeletor, “I know how to use the power, I just don’t like to,” right before unleashing his full power on him, encapsulates this theme perfectly!
He-man does not shame men for being capable of great violence, but teaches them that being capable of violence is needed and can be a virtue if applied properly, restrained, and used to protect the innocent.
That is what it means when he says "I have the power"
Boys need to learn that they will gain great power as they grow into men. They need to realise it, claim it as their own, and then use it for good.
THIS IS WHY HE-MAN IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG MEN! And why this hero is still needed in the modern day.
I love the new masters of the Universe film for capturing the core message of He-man so well and thank the director Travis Knight for bringing he-man back into the modern day.
Take your boys to see this film, it has a great message for them and full of great role models.
Gamers get upset at games.
It's literally part of being a gamer.
Sometimes the reasons are good, sometimes the reasons are retarded.
But if you have genuinely never been upset at a game for ANY reason - good, bad, or retarded - you are not a gamer.
And if you think gamers aren't allowed to be upset at games, you are not a gamer.
You are a larper using games for attention.
Darn, I think the writing depicted in the 20 min segment was extremely bad and I have no interest in playing a narrative heavy game with a story that doesn’t appeal to me, guess I’m not a gamer anymore.
Achhhhhtttttually. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, it's goofy in places and sometimes you may cringe. But it has a lot of heart and good humour (and adult humour too) which had me laughing out loud.
More importantly it was FUN that poked both sides of the culture war.
Perhaps it’s just due to the algorithm, but I’m seeing far more posts complaining that men are upset about playing as a woman than I am seeing posts that are actually complaining about playing as a woman.
Most complaints I’ve seen have been about the millennial coded quip-laden dialogue & the Jack Quaid jello cube
Rest in peace to John Blanche. The artist who defined Warhammer 40k. He was legitimately a visionary and creative genius.
Take today to look at his works, there's nothing else like them. A very sad day indeed.
A new report has revealed a heated debate inside Valve over pornographic games on Steam.
According to former employees, Valve’s top lawyer suggested the company take a stronger role in moderating adult content on the platform.
Gabe Newell reportedly disagreed, saying, “What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?”
The quote comes from accounts shared by former employees and has not been publicly confirmed by Valve.
If this is true, Gabe Newell is even more based.
