I would've preferred someone younger if this ends up being both good and a hit.
(I wouldn't normally cheer for franchise-Hollywood but comedies are in a pretty poor place ATM that I'd welcome even a new Police Academy movie if it just was good.)

Comment on 007: First Light announced (Gameplay reveal next week) in ~games
GunnarRunnar Link ParentLooks promising but I'm getting more of a Mission Impossible vibe right down to Bond's resemblance to Tom Cruise. Maybe that's just me though, as I'm not really a fan of either franchise. Anyway...Looks promising but I'm getting more of a Mission Impossible vibe right down to Bond's resemblance to Tom Cruise.

Anyway popcorn action is something the Hitman sandbox format suits well for, so I'm interested to see more.

It's an isometric open-area driving game where you blast through buildings while delivering packages. Gameplay's designed to be fun first, easy to understand and every mission has some sort of unique gimmick where you don't feel like you're repeating the same chore over and over again.
The first third is clearly more fleshed out than the rest but at the same time the game doesn't overstay its welcome. I could write more but I'm posting this just to notify folks who want to grab it for free to grab it. Though I definitely could see myself paying like $15 for it.

Which is also ironic since the game copies Batman Arkham's combat (though no idea if that combat system even would've been possible to patent but it's definitely a distinct style).
Like everyone benefits from shared gameplay features.

Comment on Tron: Ares | Official trailer in ~movies
GunnarRunnar Link ParentI don't think I've really seen a role where he's been bad. Like Suicide Squad Joker was what it was, didn't like it nor did I hate it (probably one of the more interesting parts of a bad movie).I don't think I've really seen a role where he's been bad.

Compared to what the general reception seems like, I find the actual game pretty mediocre collection of gameplay features and writing that's forced to fill the silence with boring banter. There's some soft-shock level whimsy to be found, in the "I can't believe they just did that" way and that's fun in the same way killing that plushie was in It Takes Two.
Anyway, as always the secret sauce in co-op games is the co-op and the smart design decision here is to take players through different gameplay systems fast so you don't get bored like in an amusement park. It's just all very banal at the end of the day. Too easy to offer challenge and the joy is mostly in bullshitting and screwing around with a friend.

Too bad preordering a device from the US seems iffy at best right now. I'll wait until I know what the actual cost will be with whatever tariffs and alike.

Comment on Repeatedly upvoting violent content on Reddit can now get you flagged in ~tech

They can flake off unwanted users and control what and by which crowd ends up in Reddit's frontpage.
So basically something like Luigi fan club members can be driven off the site without directly saying as much. Or for example pro Palestine activists. Verge article about Reddit flagging 'Luigi' as potentially violent content (even though the flagged post was about Nintendo's 'Luigi's Mansion 3').

The meat was ground pork/beef mix, added some leftover egg wash and panko bread crumbs because why not and seasoned the mix with spicy bean paste (intended for mapo tofu). Probably most foodtubers would crucify me for this, but it was excellent, probably could've been crispier but I didn't want to burn it.
Other toppings were just fresh cucumber, iceberg lettuce, red onion and mix of chili crisp oil and mayo. And of course american cheese.

Pretty excited about this or specifically just excited to see Nathan's next step in pseudo-reality. The first season probably suffered because of covid, toning down story-per-episode to one big one (I assume that was the original plan, no knowledge of this) and the one episode plot I guess you could call a pilot.
Nonetheless, whether it's one, season long arc or episodic stories, I'm ready to cringe and laugh with Nathan.

Comment on ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ insiders say ‘everyone knew this is probably not going to be a good film’ in ~movies

I guess they kinda are there, but things like the upcoming Fantastic Four movie still apparently being tied to family friendly MCU multiverse (even though it's its own universe) they aren't really ready to revisit established characters with stories that parents might deem unfit for their kids. I don't think Deadpool fits this category because it's just more blood and "fucks" than your average MCU movie. We'll see if they ever get rid of the comedy angle with these popcorn movies.
Maybe consider starting a sourdough starter if you enjoy the taste. Seeing as you go through a lot of bread it probably would be pretty manageable for you and wouldn't create waste.
