There's nothing there to confirm that. Not a single word. In fact, I suggest people read the entry, because it's clear that it's unknown. Yeah, I see that, but that's not supported by anything at all, and the same article also repeatedly calls his abilities superhuman and supernatural, so...

I see that and raise you: https://youtube.com/shorts/YAigY8QuTwE?si=62kamU950xOC5LMr I love the driver saying "Oh wow" in a way that suggests only disgust and contempt.

That's going a little older and more US-specific, I think. The NES wasn't really "a thing" in the UK and Europe, we were all playing on Commodore 64s and ZX Spectrums and BBC Micros and similar, with even Sega Master Systems (i.e. the pre-Megadrive/Genesis Sega) drastically outnumbering NESes. I...

Yeah maybe this is a demonstration that star power is still a thing, but you need to assemble a whole crew of low-A through high-C tier actors and combine it with an anodyne and inoffensive premise and simple "luxury"-oriented visual style to make it work? That's essentially what Ocean's Eleven...

LOL come on man, it literally says right there "innate" and "uncanny". Words have meaning. That you're not even suggesting where I would "do the research" seems pretty significant to me, too. Like, where is it I'm supposed to find this out? Do I need to read every single comic he's even been in...

I think you're confusing "shonen manga" (i.e. manga aimed at boys and young men) specifically with "manga" as a whole. This is an equivalent error to confusing "thrillers aimed at aging men" (like Jack Reacher) with "novels" as a whole. Manga isn't a genre. It's a medium. It literally means...

LOL it literally isn't true, and the Wikipedia entry completely refutes your claim that it's "mundane" and "trained", so I'm not going to argue this. You're obviously wrong and there's nothing more to it as far as I can see. You want to drop in a link to some lore confirming your position...

You wouldn't think so, right? I've never heard anyone comment positively about either of the other two. The first one I saw most (all? I forget) of and it was terrible (despite liking most of the actors in it), like not even intriguing. But... Somehow both of them grossed over $300m worldwide...

"no i had time to think about it" is an absolute all-timer. (Also I don't think this actually happened lol but so funny)

So because you personally don't understand the difference between changing volume and saving the total game state at any point, game designers are in the wrong? I mean, it's an opinion. It's a very "2025" opinion in that it dismisses experts (game designers in this case) and puts a lack of...

My issue is that object reading (psychometry) is a psychic power, and if he's supposed to have that, fine (odd that doesn't use it at other times though), but they're implying it's just super-touch, which is something rather different. I don't think that's true in the show. At all. It's also...

As someone with severe ADHD I have to admit the phrase "willing to contribute" really induces deep panic in me, because in the UK it tends be associated with people who have very specific but completely unspoken expectations, and get very snippy if those aren't met. And like, not meeting...

I think my biggest mistakes have been: 1) Not putting my foot down about unsuitable characters in Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun in the 1990s, and failing to properly call out and stop actual, honest-god munchkin behaviour from one player (i.e. repeatedly derailing the game to show off his...

And "nothing like as bad" really starts to fall apart when you look at the Bengal famine, honestly. It's more like "nowhere near as vile and devoted to day-to-day evil" as Nazi and Imperial Japanese forces, but causing 2-3 million deaths because Churchill was an incredible racist against Indians...

I think the cosplayers disturb me quite a lot because as a whole, they continually adopt the attire, epithets, mannerisms etc. associated with the oppressors and exploiters of that era, without any apparent recognition that they are doing that, instead seeing it as cutesy, which frankly it is...

Bullseye's ability is to literally turn any object into a high-velocity projectile. That's an absolutely straightforward use of his power. Did you think is power was just precision or something? And "pretend to" is not the same as "actual" realism, obvs.

I think I made a pretty clear delineation. Whilst D&D's whitewashing of what has often been essentially colonial violence or even reminiscent of genocide can be troubling at times (and certainly has drawn people who love those things into the hobby), the fact that it is consistently about pure...

All those terms are US terms, and I'm talking about the usage in the US in the 1980s and early 1990s. Nowadays they're absolutely used in the -gate sense described.

What I really, really didn't like about some of the She-Hulk court scenes was that they implied she was absolutely astoundingly bad lawyer, like worse than a trainee would be. In more than one of the scenes, she hadn't done ultra-basic stuff that you'd do when taking a case, or the earliest...

I just don't think it's false, because we've seen what happens when people romanticize something creepy for decades. At first they're joking, and they maybe acknowledge that time was messed up. Then they start equivocating and picking out individual things which they think were better. Then the...
