  • Any advice for pushing through season 5? I burned out there on my first watch-through last year, and am really struggling to get back into it. So many of the characters I cared about either died or left.

  • In with the Digg exodus, out when I learned my favorite 3rd party app was shutting down(Sync, though I'm excited for the Lemmy version!). It's disappointing to learn Reddit's leadership views communities as their property, and their disdain for volunteer moderators and 3rd party apps.

  • Are they really describing Valhalla as a 100-hour game? I spent that long on Origins, and Valhalla has way more to it.

    But overall a shorter AC game sounds great. I miss the days when even going for 100% took 45 hours instead of triple digits.

  • Check the section labeled "Appointment to CEO and resignation" on Eich's Wikipedia entry. He also expressed some COVID doubting nonsense during the pandemic. To my knowledge Brave doesn't have an official stance on any of this, but it's not a good look when the CEO does (or at least, did in the recent past).

  • About the bed: There seems to be an ongoing sub-plot about random systems on the ship glitching out. I've seen speculation they're quietly setting up some kind of AI takeover issue later on. Note the odd shot the episode ends on, with the bed's info screen flickering again.

  • I wish that movie didn't spoil itself with its opening scene. They make sure you understand you're seeing the post-story world first, then jump back to actually tell it. Makes me wonder what it would have been like skipping past that bit, not knowing how it had to end.

  • The plot was pretty straightforward (though often rushed). I see why critics would roll their eyes at another kids movie that plays it safe like that. It's not anywhere near the level of a Paddington or Fantastic Mr. Fox.

    That said, it wasn't really trying to be that, and was all I wanted in a Mario movie: show me you respect the franchise, add in a bunch of easter eggs and references, and be at least moderately entertaining. I just hope the eventual sequels and spinoffs aim a tad bit higher.

  • Eh, sorry, gonna have to agree with critics that it was pretty bad. What makes it more painful is that last time with Bumblebee showed a lot of promise, but here they fell right back into spectacle over substance. We didn't need to go right back to a world-ending threat so soon. Maybe it needed to be split in 2, so we get a separate Beast Wars movie first, then later bring in Unicron.

    I never thought we'd see the Beast Wars bots on the big screen, and sadly they weren't strong enough to overpower the suckage. Too bad.
