    Pirate cheap (not in budget but in taste) and low quality (not in production but in substance) movies and shows to contribute in their downfall. It’s one kind of activism imo. Go to cinema/buy blu-rays for actual good stuff. I may be a pirate but I’m going to see Dune 3 and The Odyssey in cinema.

    Before the switch 2 direct, I was arguing with my wife on how this will be my first console preorder ever, and that Nintendo did right by its fans so far and I wanted to support them.

    Well, long story short, I’m sitting this one out. It’s not about budget, I’m lucky enough that I can afford the console and the games. It’s about principles. There’s only so much shit I can take, and this is over the limit.

    Some games will get free performance updates, like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. If there’s a fee for upgrading, it’ll most likely include some new content

    I’m pretty surprised to see the reception this article is getting, in tildes out of all places. I thought tildes userbase would understand the dangers of proprietary platforms normalized as public services, but seems like even this take is too far left now. Funny how much the center has shifted right lately…

    Although I don’t agree with Russia on many issues, I believe it’s a slippery slope to start boycotting companies based on where their headquarters are. Does Yandex itself have scandals? I’m more interested in that.

    I haven’t watched this, nor King of Comedy, but I’ve seen Joker and quite liked it. I’ve seen quite a few reviews on this, even the ones including spoilers.

    My (not fully informed) take is that Phillips is a coward. If you want to critique antihero movies, worshipping fans, making heroes out of villains etc, create your own IP. He deserves the bad reviews because you cannot and should not piss on the floor when you’re invited to someone’s house as a guest.

    If you wouldn’t be given such a budget without involvement with a big IP, well, good luck. There are many indie filmmakers, with their own great ideas, struggling with the same.

    MCU kinda kickstarted (or reignited) so many careers, including RDJ’s (he himself said so many times). It’s a shame they stopped doing so. So many good actors could’ve been cast, with Victor von Doom’s backstory being a good addition, instead they choose a Stark Doom (or something similar, I strongly believe there’ll be a reason why Doom looks exactly like late Tony Stark)

    At the same time, it’s really funny they think they can catch the lightning in a bottle again, by bringing back Russo’s and RDJ. They don’t want to admit people have superhero fatigue. You cannot scale excitement, enough spacing is a key ingredient.

    It's incorrect grammar (see here) but it's definitely not grounds for the mod's removal.
