Sorry, baby. No one rules the Tom Monster!

The simple charm of this exchange had me rolling

Yikes! Yeah, that’s messed up. Thanks for the info!

I’m out of the loop, what did Better Help do?

Sorry, should have mentioned.

I watched this movie for the first time last year and it’s shocking how relevant it still is. Aside from the fashions, you could have told me it was made last year and I’d believe you.

How dare you make me remember these things and realize how old I am!

Rad, thank you!!

What should I search for if I want to read up more on this? I hadn’t heard of these recent developments.

Weren’t there a bunch of mods for the original releases that upgraded textures, added maps and factions and all that? Why would anyone buy these rereleases instead?

I think the point here though isn’t as much ‘how do we play the game?’ as it is why there hell are we all forced into playing a metagame that is so inherently harmful and specifically designed to encourage risky behavior (I.e. the idea of debt being favorable)?

Virtua Tennis revival or gtfo!

It’s tone deaf as fuck. From the article: “If you can’t hire an artist to do advertising, I highly doubt you’ll do it with independent developers.”

As someone who lives in Japan, that is true as long as you stay inside the tourist bubble. Once you start venturing into places not meant for visitors, the difficulty goes from 0 to 100 real quick.

I, too, happened to me: Firefox.

Sunnova…

The SS Minnow with the nacelles is killing me. 🤣

the fact that the camera crew seemed to like focusing on them being intimate makes my brain say, “this must be important to 23rd century humans in some way”.

Might I also suggest that another possibility is that until very recently, there has been so little gay representation on TV that merely depicting it at all, as Discovery has done, can feel jarring to some.

A friend of mine was complaining about the same thing back on Season 1, but I asked him if it had been a hetero couple shown brushing their teeth together or having a smooch would he have minded and he admitted probably not. We chalked it up to just not being used to seeing that with a gay couple on tv.

Just a thought.
