Playing as Emily in 2 is really fun. You have the option to ignore stealth, go all out with your powers, and still not kill anyone.

PlayStation is probably going to still have exclusives, or at least timed exclusives, driving some sales. But this announcement may be the final nail in Xbox’s coffin.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and mouse heavy games hurt, but playing with a controller is great. If this can easily replace a mouse and keyboard setup then I’ll be playing with it a lot, and those track pads are a big reason why.

They’re also good for emulating certain consoles with quirky controllers, like the N64.

Also, as far as everyone knows, Superman doesn’t have a civilian identity. It’s pretty public knowledge in most continuities that his name is Kal-El, that he’s a Kryptonian, and that he lives in the Fortress of Solitude somewhere in the arctic. Sure’s he’s in Metropolis a lot, but he also clearly has something going on with Lois Lane.

IIRC, a horse can output more than one horsepower in bursts, but can sustain one horsepower all day.

You should try chicken, tomato, jalapeno, and pineapple on a pizza.

The first Red Angel was Burnham’s mom. The second Red Angel was Burnham, because of-fucking-course it was.

Narnia and Dune are so up-front about their messages that after a couple books it stops being subtext and just becomes text, so they’re technically correct there.

Cheap to duplicate is great for them. That means larger profit margins.

Gameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.

Like Bruce in Batman Beyond. Typically he was on comms helping Terry be Batman, but it was always memorable when he went into the field.

Seriously, the whole reason the right is obsessed with Portland now is that the Portland police used incredible levels of excessive force to put down BLM protests. And since they believe the police are always in the right, then Portland must be a hellhole. I used to live in one of the smaller towns in Oregon and mentioning that I went up to Portland for a day would typically result in someone telling me I was lucky I wasn’t shot. Never mind that the PPB is so brutal that the federal government sued them for excessive force back in 2012. To unfortunately minimal effect. That you can be too brutal for Portland police is just insane.

I once had someone flip me off because I put my turn signal on. We were in the right lane, I was turning right, and the left lane was completely empty.

I’d point out that ‘an observation event’ is just hitting one thing with another thing, which is always going to have some kind of effect. And wave-particle duality is probably more of a spectrum than we give it credit for. Particles vibrate constantly and can be easily made to do wave-like things, like resonance. Collapsing a waveform into a particle may be less of a mode or type change and more like putting your finger on a resonating tuning fork.

Yes. The pupils were generally only visible in the pre-rendered videos.

That the Jedi Council is incredibly hubristic and far less aligned with the light side than they think is a major theme of the prequel era.

Jon doesn’t go back to the Watch in the finale. He gets exiled to the Watch again, but immediately goes AWOL to join the free folk.

Cincinnatus was actually cool. Rome’s neighbors violated a peace treaty and tried to invade them. They called up Cincinnatus, a retired general, and gave him full dictatorial power. He resolved the situation in two weeks, abdicated all of his powers on day fifteen, and went back to his farm. Then he did it a second time when someone tried to end the republic and make themself a king.

Someone like Crassus would be a more appropriate Roman to reference.

He actually did that. Part of the reason Miles Morales was created is that Peter had started a business and actually started making money, which made him less of an everyman.

Hmm, still not working for me. 8, 9, Experimental, and Hotfix all fail to run the game.

Edit: Actually, looks like I might have a different problem. Proton seems to be failing to launch anything at all.

Edit 2: Looks like something went wrong with the way Proton interacts with NTFS drives. Moving the install back to the primary ext4 drive fixed it. Removing the compatdata folders on the NTFS volume and replacing it with a symlink to the primary compatdata folder also fixes it. Weird, because this is the first time I’ve encountered this issue, but it’s apparently fairly common.
