  1. Interesting that we are going to get adaptations of two of the more funny game series I played: Fallout and also Borderlands.
  2. Well to be fair Bethesda has always been a bit janky. To some it's part of their appeal. So I never was bothered by the lack of polish in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. I thought the writing was the biggest issue with Fallout 4. Just no truly compelling main quest lines. Perhaps the Railroad was the most interesting of the ones you could choose from but that seemed to have fewer big quests. I liked the settlement game dynamic but that was a bit of a side-show (and also got repetitive).
  3. Yeah, a series not really known for its humor.
  4. My main issue with it is Jonathan Nolan. A staple of the series - right back to its pre-Bethesda origins with the original Interplay game - has been its dark sense of humor. Whereas I don't think Nolan does comedy well. And I especially doubt he will nail Fallout's specific tone.
  5. It's funny how they always choose a terrible picture of Pete Davidson whenever he has a new conquest.
  6. People are shocked at this but he is actually a much better choice of rebound guy than Brad Pitt (who she was also being linked with).
  7. VS bought Adore Me, didn't they? I hope it doesn't mean they are going to start using their own art direction team on the Adore Me shoots.
  8. It will be interesting to see what happens. Supposedly Murdoch has informed Trump he will no longer back another run at the WH. I will say that for all his faults, I like Trump a lot more than DeSantis. Who seems to be the figure the GOP leadership is now rallying around to Trump's detriment.
  9. Russian rockets land in a Polish town near the Ukrainian border. Two people dead. Probably won't trigger article 5 but Poland might ask for measures under article 4.
  10. Kara-mella are always so sexy together.
  11. Source: her IG stories She's really been flaunting her chest on socials lately. Not that I'm complaining.
  12. This is all older Guess stuff that I am unsure about whether or not it has been posted.
  13. He'll need to do a lot more of this kind of stuff just to keep the company afloat in the short to mid-term. The degree to which he was fleeced on this take-over is hard to believe.
  14. Greatest Batman. Batman The Animated Series was also so far ahead of its time.
  15. I'm tired of discussing this now. We will see what happens to Twitter. In any case, Musk claims there haven't been substantial changes to how they moderate tweets so by your definition the bird is not yet free.
  16. "The bird's freedom", defined by what exactly? I don't see a huge difference on the app itself, other than the nonsense of people pretending to be someone else using their newly acquired blue tick.
  17. It's not a strawman, it's based on financial analysis. Unless Musk pumps a crazy amount of money into it to keep it afloat, there is a very good chance the company will go bankrupt. Even Musk himself has communicated this to the staff. And since there is no clear way for him to fix the negative cash flow issues in the short term, it's not really obvious how he can avoid that. Unless he keeps on selling Tesla stock to prop up the company. Obviously he cannot do that indefinitely.
  18. Your definition of "progressive" must be different from mine. All the ones I know hate his guts for not paying any taxes and how he treats the Amazon employees.
  19. Oh yeah, progressives famously love Jeff Bezos.
  20. Not sure why you are making this about progressive vs. conservative. Every serious business analyst cannot make sense of his decisions, which seem to run counter all logic about how you would run this company shortly after the acquisition. He has alienated advertisers in a matter of weeks. Has gotten rid of almost all of the staff in charge of user security. The Twitter Blue roll-out was such a disaster that it has now largely been retracted already. By any objective measure, the first few weeks of his ownership could almost not have gone any worse.
  21. It probably won't exist within a year. So by your logic, no twitter is better than old twitter. It's a POV I guess.
