    Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

    I rather liked it. There were problems with the final act, but no more than other genre films. The zombies were laughable and making the average joe able to take them on made them even more so. But I liked the movie.

    I loved Pierce Brosnan Dr. Fate and would watch the hell out of a JSA movie with him.

    Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

    To me, the best superhero media have been the ones where they use a different genre, with good writers, and go with that over a straight superhero show. Trying to make a comic into a movie doesn't really work as well for me most of the time, especially because it's not going to be the same...

    It tracks. Hal doesn't really acknowledge Guy very much and everyone hates Guy.

    Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

    That's in the regular comics. I like the idea that they train their successor while they are still alive and in the role rather than the ring choosing someone local and them having to find their way to Oa to get trained. It always seemed rather convoluted, and is really why Hal is the way he is.

    Trailer Avengers: Doomsday | Only in Theaters December 18, 2026

    It was the retooling and loss of direction that did them in. And the need to do underlying series' to establish some of them. We still might see them, but they're getting long in the tooth. We have IronHeart that set up Strange Academy in addition to a member of the Young Avengers, MoM for...

    Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

    That's just a campaign of Theseus.

    Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

    Real Life for the most part. That and the mentality of we'll finish eventually, or we'll get back to it once Real Life lets us and it never happening.

    Poll: VTT Users - Do you prefer self-hosted or cloud-based VTTs?

    I had the same problem. As I understand it, this is not true cloud hosting, it's just a way to get around port forwarding.

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    And that's anecdotal based on your own experiences and abilities. What's that old saying about underestimating the limits of human stupidity? I think that applies in this case. Not exactly stupidity, but perceptions.

    I don't think that was the point, better stated, it would be companies that care about IP.

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    I have anecdotal evidence. But that's all it is- anecdotal. I don't think there's a way to get empirical evidence around this, which is the reason that, IMO, the query is useless.

    Ryan Dancey & AEG Part Ways Following AI Comments

    I just had an interesting experience which shows something on the other danger of AI and anti-Ai. I was using a site I haven't used before and doing some coding in a language I haven't used before to automate it. I read the documentation (admittedly not a rigorous read) and attempted to write a...

    One reason I settled where I am and stopped contracting was because of the culture and environment. We've been through a few mergers/acquisitions and have had RIFs based on that. We've also had RIFs based on political maneuvering which sucked. And we have product lines that aren't performing...

    I didn't say that some won't do it. They're just going to experience pain on the other end. They could have made use of that trained staff to accelerate their bottom line. What's better? To reduce headcount, eliminating trained workers for savings and keep your growth stable, or to empower your...

    Anyone using AI to reduce staffing levels to this extent deserve the pain that is coming. The correct usage of AI, IMO, is to increase the quality-of-life and productivity of your workers, to allow them to more effectively drive your company. Just one example of what I meant above about taking...

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    There are many more factors that are being left out of this equation. And this comes from someone who is a proponent of responsible AI use. A lot about energy use is based on what model you're asking, no matter how complex the query. Most of these models that you would ask this of are not simple...

    Is this anecdotal or do you have empirical evidence? From what I've seen from my company and perspective, there definitely is a lot of use coming out of it. It's taken a lot of the drudgery out of my day-to-day work and I'm a lot more productive day-to-day.

    Poll: VTT Users - Do you prefer self-hosted or cloud-based VTTs?

    I know. I was saying that's what I'd want in answer to the poll. I already use Foundry and started out on my own Amazon instances and have since moved to another host.
