Robin is my favorite superhero, and, for his 80th anniversary, I was lucky enough to explore the long history of the Boy (and Girl!) Wonders in a piece for the Guardian! https://t.co/a70J00oXJS
@oldmanbayin This seems to have resonated quite a bit with people!
Just to illustrate how far this goes, this is a snippet of the entire Southern Air Temple I designed/created for the film.
..and yes it is built so someone could walk from the bottom gates all the way to the top!
There are too many people in the replies going "he couldn't have cared that much if he hasn't played it in ten years." It doesn't matter if it's ten years or ten days, you should be able to access the games you paid for, you bootlickers.
This is by far the most insightful review of The Odyssey I've read--it meets the movie on it's own terms and genuinely engages with the theme of civilizational collapse that Nolan is addressing.
Visually this does have some things going for it (notably its vibrant color scheme!) but the death of ATLAs original art style (which was mostly carried into korra as well) for a more generic voltron-esque burger shonen style really sucks to see tbh
BBC literally built the greatest sound library on the internet.
It is called BBC Sound Effects, and it gives you access to more than 30,000 recordings from around the world.
Just search any word, and it instantly finds matching sounds.
You can filter them by category, duration, and even the continent where the sound was recorded.
Every sound can be previewed inside your browser, downloaded, or added to the built-in mixer so you can layer multiple recordings together.
And the archive gets insanely specific.
You can find creaking ships, old typewriters, jungle ambience, distant church congregations, and even someone vigorously washing their hands.
There is a good chance a BBC engineer recorded the exact sound you need decades before you were born.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?
AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.
So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.
Don’t mean to be hyperbolic but this is genuinely one of the most compelling things I’ve ever heard a famous person say about surviving paparazzi-driven celebrity culture my jaw is kind of on the ground.
The District of Columbia Archives has released its largest digital collection of historic photos — showing new views of the city from 1947 through 1959.
