I’m betting on $400, quote me on this

That’s what I said, it’s Troy Baker (Indiana Jones) talking to Nolan North (Nathan Drake)

Two. My experience with mechanical pencils is that they’re often unreliable and a waste of time. I hate having to reload my pencil, I hate when it breaks if you accidentally make the tip longer than it should be, I hate when you accidentally put one more in the pencil and it gets clogged, I hate having to carry refills all the time, I hate buying an expensive pencil and worrying about losing it (as opposed to just buying a dozen regular pencils for backup)…

Just hand over the regular pencil and a decent sharpener.

Only 10 years too late

This is exactly what I wanted. I might make the switch now.

This was a really fun video. The context is that the voice actor for Nathan Drake (Uncharted) is talking to the voice actor for Indiana Jones.

Discord is a terrible format to manage large, complex communities and projects

Terrible how, though? That’s exactly what it gets right. You have easy-to-setup roles and channel accesses, onboarding experiences for people joining a larger server, a huge ecosystem of bots for various purposes, etc.

okay, it is bad for not being indexable, but it’s good at what it does and it’s popular for a reason.

Articles like this are constantly like “if only there was something we can do about it” while omitting the thing people are doing about it because the writer is too lazy to research properly

Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.

Because there hasn’t been a single proper alternative until very recently, and even then they’re not as user friendly.

I’m surprised they never followed up on it, it was kinda cool. I really liked the reflective blocks.

It is in the Control universe so that checks out

I have zero clue how they’re going to make a sequel. It was clearly supposed to be a one-and-done story.

But I did say that for Inside Out and got pleasantly surprised for the sequel so I might give Pixar some benefit of the doubt.

Discord already allows users on other platforms to hide in-app promotions for specific Quests, or opt out of personalized promotions. These options will also be available for mobile users.

Wonder how long that’s going to be an option… The way every tech company is going I’m fully expecting them to force ads on everyone in the next two years.

sure, but it was fanfiction in the sense that the whole story is centered around fan service. It was mostly “hey, that character you like is back!” and “oh my god, the villain people like made an appearance for 3 minutes!”. It didn’t feel like its own movie, just a collection of “give the fans what they want” scenes.

Spiderman no way home. Everyone was raving about it, when I finally got around to watching it, it turned out to be high-budget fanfiction.

New sci-fi horror enemy just dropped

Also Karen

Yes, but they wrote her out of the show unfortunately. She might be back next season.

When I was a boy…

He said it! He said the thing!

I missed Jon Bernthal as the punisher. Such a fantastic actor, and a great entrance scene to the show. Now that Foggy is dead, it’s kind of sad that Frank is really the only person he can speak to about daredevil.

Also, we finally know who Fisk has been punching all day. This won’t go over well in therapy.

They’re backed by Sony now, no way the company is going under at this point. Worst case scenario is they pay some money to Nintendo and move on.

It’s been really good so far. It’s too early to tell if I like it as much as the original, but it’s the best thing that came out of Disney or Marvel in ages.
