Don't worry, the games industry has you covered on that now. They just release games that are broken or half-finished without the day 1 patch, but then allowing it to update removes all of the licensed content.

Hard to tell with chicken. I could imagine biting into that and it still being juicy.

Seems a bit weird to do that in a completely unrelated community as well as in the part of posts that people usually use for alt text.

I liked him in Super with Rainn Wilson. It wasn't a perfect movie but I thought his performance was fine and it was a fitting movie to anticipate the Marvel saturation in the coming years (which director James Gunn would eventually actively participate in).

I also thought he was fine in Inception. Not the standout performance of the movie but I didn't walk out thinking "ugh, Elliot Page really gunked that up" or anything, and he apparently worked well enough with Christopher Nolan to get brought back in for The Odyssey.

What's wrong with Elliot Page's acting? I thought he was fine in previous works I've seen him in. Maybe not Oscar-winning but I've seen plenty worse.

If you're referring to having customizable icon silhouettes, Android has been doing that for a while with Material Design, which has gotten old at this point.

I don't believe any desktop environment behaves similarly because they don't have a dominant app store and OS-level app standards encouraging design compliance like Android/iOS do.

That's how I read the intent of the author, at least. Getting scientists out of their isolated bubbles and allowing them to actually experience the world drives innovation.

That, or the one physicist who figured it out was so traumatized by merely being outside that she figured it out as quickly as possible to make it all stop, haha.

Wait what does this have to do with Trek?

Fair, I guess I'm just letting the world get to me!

I almost kinda dislike the messaging on this one because it implies authoritarianism is the key to discovery. Scientists are implied to be passive and unindustrious when left alone, so the government (FBI-type characters) declare a truth they want proven, force development of it through the threat of violence, and it eventually yields an answer they're happy with.

I'm reminded of the film The Death of Stalin and it's depiction of the USSR's treatment of bourgeois intellectuals like doctors.

It was $15/mo before it's first price hike, too.

And before that, a lot of people were taking advantage of the Xbox Live Gold conversion deal, where folks were getting access to GamePass Ultimate for $60/year.

I once spent $180 for 3 years of GamePass, and now that same amount only gets you 6 months.

I barely even buy 5 games a year, and often not at full price. And usually the games I want aren't even on GamePass anyways.

$360/year is crazy. Only a good deal if you're buying more than 6 full price games a year and plan to 100% beat them and never play again before they disappear from the catalog.

Mar-a-Lago Face

Reminded of the time when RuPaul put the fear of God into Jimmy Fallon.

The man is spineless and clearly doesn't know how to navigate any subject he sees as too touchy.

I feel like there's still some public, high budget fetish porn being made. Like A Folded Ocean (potentially NSFL, kinky body horror).

Better AI than humans. Humans have the potential to be gay and will end up shoving their corrupt ideology into the minds of our children.

I've definitely been there. I think it's like what English teachers say when they see their students reading whatever latest YA drivel has been published (e.g. Twilight):

At least they want to read something.

Encourage their passions, even if you really hate what they're currently doing with it, and trust that eventually they'll get a better sense of taste when they learn more about what else is out there.

Take the "lead a horse to water" idiom but add the corollary that the horse definitely will not drink if no one leads it to water in the first place.

Lots of journalists are reporting on this buyout.

But not too deeply.

Can't find a link to the referenced comic

Got you covered, fam.

There's other versions around as well and I have no idea which is the original. Just replace "Bioware" with any studio that EA has purchased and chances are there is a version of this comic that followed that news.

Some humor is timeless, like this one from 1921:
