His politics are fine for a democrat, and overall his presidency has been very 'normal' (obviously he's had divisive issues/actions, but so has every other president in history). He's just a safe bet politically, but with how old he is now it's unclear how safe that bet actually is when it really wouldn't be surprising if he randomly croaked through his next term if elected.

Comment on Dune: Prophecy | Official teaser in ~tv
Nichaes Link ParentI think the point here is that it doesn't matter that it's art to the people who approve of/finance making these movies/shows.

The goal is to make money, and they're more than willing to oversaturate and expand upon a universe that really doesn't need it in that venture.
The two main instances of this happening before are Star Wars and Marvel, but both have grossed so many billions that there's no way those film execs aren't going to keep chasing that dragon. Does it really matter if they sour the IP when it eventually flops?

I used to engage in online shouting matches all the time, but eventually I realized that I'm not really contributing to anything - at best I've alienated whoever it was I was arguing with from relating to my viewpoint, without ever intending to see theirs.
I'm not really content with the apathy I've since adopted, but I'm not really sure how else to be. I don't think I could ever commit enough of my life to take whatever action I would need to in order to actually contribute meaningfully, so I guess I'll just vote for X color every few years and call it a day?

Comment on Elden Ring DLC: Shadow of the Erdtree | Gameplay reveal trailer releases tomorrow in ~games
Nichaes (edited )Link ParentYeah, Sekiro isn't really about player freedom at all - there's different prosthetics and special moves, but they're mostly secondary to the parry focused gameplay. It's a samurai/ninja fantasy,...Yeah, Sekiro isn't really about player freedom at all - there's different prosthetics and special moves, but they're mostly secondary to the parry focused gameplay. It's a samurai/ninja fantasy, so I can see someone being turned off of it if that didn't match their expectations/preferences.

Nichaes Link ParentIs it a problem to be ahead of the translated source material? Or is this a GoT situation?Is it a problem to be ahead of the translated source material? Or is this a GoT situation?
Yeah, it's been used as a talking point for decades with nothing to show for it. The research might be legitimate, but I can't see it having any purpose beyond being used to delay actual climate change legislation.
