Wow, this success is truly something to be proud of. I extend the most unreserved compliments to the whole group involved. Nintendo’s most well known title is thoroughly deconstructed now. I, for one, find myself delighted by the outcome.

I played games before there were consoles. I am fucking dust, man.

not the biggest fan but doesn’t TNG suggest that all (most?) biped races in trek share a common ancestor?

when your car is under fire, yes.

you’re meant to move jobs every few years, you can keep employees a few years longer with stock incentives or yearly raises but if there’s no financial advantage to staying, why would I? Like if it’s better in every single way to move, why stay?

interesting. I haven’t engaged in any online dialog about the expanse so maybe this is a super unpopular opinion but I felt the actor seemed really uncomfortable with the swearing and didn’t start off as that kind of character and just weirdly changed one episode

Amos on the other hand was incredible. He, Drummer, Draper and Miller really carried that show.

I’ve worked in all sorts of performance disciplines. Comedia dell’arte, High clown, low clown / children’s ents, improv, film, theatre in pros-arch, round…, puppet , Grotowskian devised theatre, Boalian Theatre of the Oppressed…

Only one small subset of that work demands word-perfect adherence. Performance is much more than post-Stanivlaskian Aristotlean drama.

Even Beckett, who was completely, insanely anal about everything from the design of the tree in Waiting for Godot, to the size of the spotlight in Not I, to the length and timing of the tapes in Krapps Last Tape, still made on-set changes right up to the performance.

Not to mention, often on set the script supervisor will sometimes give you last minute changes between takes.

Then, no script is ever perfect. I did Glengarry Glen Ross (which is suuuper tight in terms of interruptions, e.g.

A: “And a man has to shiver in his…”

B: “…shoes…”

A: “…boots…”

B: “…shoes… boots…”

A: “…And for what?” )

But one night the cop missed his cue during one of the sections where people are coming in and out of the office to be interviewed, and I’m (as Roma) trying to put the screws on the guy from the Chinese restaurant so I have to keep vamping on convincing him not to call his wife until the cop remembers to come out and confuses him for Shelly Levene.

It’s so much better for the audience for me to vamp than it is for us to stop the play and go and tell the actor he missed his cue. The show must go on.

I reckon you could do it with Himalayan Chhurpi (yak) cheese.

Some people find it so hard they literally can’t eat it.

I see your point but also, unless you founded the city you might not have a choice if you were born there.

We have so much money in the USA, so much the human mind cannot conceive how much there is. It constantly moves, back and forth, and it constantly, constantly grows.

There is no dispassionate reason why, with so, SO much money practically lying around doing nothing — it can’t be used to make sure everyone is fed, watered, homed, clothed, and has Healthcare.

The resources to do so are just sitting there doing nothing.

The target isn’t someone who was born in a city 20 generations after it was founded, the target is someone saying that they shouldn’t have water because it would decrease their excess money they don’t need and will never touch by 0.00000001%

grew up with c64, spectrum+3, master system, genesis, nes, snes. So when I bought a ps1 with my paper round money and started up the intro to Soul Blade, that would become Soul Calibur, the graphics jump shook me to my core and brought tears to my eyes. I was like "THIS is the peak of graphics. Nothing can beat this.

probably the nostalgia talking, but it was satisfying having all your games look the same on the shelf
