I think there's a joke here about him calling it Optimus when he should have called it Prowl but I don't feel like workshopping it right now.

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison.

“If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.”

I mean, I get it, if you're doing a big remake like this you want to expand.

It's just funny to me.

Playing the Dragon Quest I 2d-HD remake and it's so wild how they've given DQ1 tons of story and recurring voiced NPCs and cutscenes for a game who's original story was so light as to be non-existent.

Seriously, there's a voiced cutscene that went on so long the screen dim on my Switch turned on.

Random Fandom: The Doom Patrol
As a kid, I always dug the weird outsider type heroes. One such group was The Doom Patrol from DC Comics. Here is a random take on the heroes of my youth.

Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but outside of the Daniel Craig movies, there's no real "canon" or continuity from one movie to the next, right?

Okay while I admit I've never been into James Bond ("superspy" is just a genre I can't get into), even I fucking know that there's been multiple "James Bond"s because it's an assigned name.

"You, our best agent, are now James Bond" there you go, now you can get on with the movie.

Willard Foxton @willardfoxton.bsky.social · 1d

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Waaaaay back when I was a kid, Claremont-era X-Men and the Legion were what got me into superhero comics. And even back then I knew that Nightcrawler was the best character.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore.
It happens a lot 'round here.

I really need to stop playing games that do corpse run "oh you died on the way to your corpse you lose all your stuff" systems because all that mechanic does is piss me off and make me want to just uninstall the fucking game.

Batman: The Joker is more than a man. He is chaos personified, madness incarnate, a twisted physical manifestation of the evil in the hearts of man.
Clownhunter: No, I’m pretty sure he’s a dude and I’m going to beat him to death with a baseball bat.

"Survival Kit for the Information Age."

Electronic organizers and early PDAs continue to be fascinating to me, and this is one of the more unusual hybrids: The debut OZ-7000 model, expandable via 'IC Cards', each with specific functions, memory storage, and touch-sensitive overlays.

A magazine ad for the OZ-7000 with its sleek folio type design and calculator style buttons and a small green LCD. IC cards flow to it to be slotted in.
