Not fundamentally, minus exposure. It's too obvious a statement to be making—we develop relationships with studios, which come with expectations. That'll affect reception in some form.
But if he thinks the very same game would've been a big hit under a different developer, I think he's mistaken.

Regardless, we're dealing with multiverses here. To be honest it kind of cheapens the idea of death. Not the same person in terms of memories, but...they are.
Even if 616 Wanda is truly dead, can just pluck another lol.

There'd be no reason for her to be dead unless she voluntarily suicided when she destroyed the Darkhold. But it was my understanding that the flash of light we saw in MoM was her teleporting away.
At least, that's what the Internet was saying.

C'mon man, surely there's a way to actually censor the video itself instead of that Mickey Mouse disclaimer...
I've just witnessed several seconds of something truly horrific and had utterly no choice in the matter.

Most coffee nowadays is liquid shame. I'll white girl a mocha coca latte tatte or whatever on the occasional weekend for the sugar boost, but otherwise I'm drinking regular coffee 99% of the time.
I know people that go the whole nine yards like every day, whipped n' all—can't understand it.

From where I'm sitting this is indistinguishable from like the Schutzstaffel—masked goons driving around in unmarked vehicles, harassing and arresting people.
If you didn't know what you were looking at, you'd think this was footage out of North Korea or something.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any facetious, celebratory slogans take wind yet, like "Get Iced," but then again I'm not on X or Reddit.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social would have to be craaaazy not to entertain a good Constantine 2 script with Reeves and Stormare fully on board, so I'm not worried at all.
Doesn't necessarily have to be part of the DCU either—can just be a "The Batman" type deal.
Script has gotta be genuinely good though!

I don't really interface much with GameStop nowadays outside of merchandise like Pop!, but they tend to be pretty based of late from what I've seen.
Though I suppose you'd have to be in the age of on-hardware, digital storefronts subsuming the consumer market.

Sorry I don't watch films with dogs in lead roles because there's a chance the dog will die and I don't wanna cry.

All respect to Sapkowski, but it's not really for him to say what was and wasn't necessary for them to do. We've seen the fruits of that labour, and they've been juicy as hell.
Seems to me the expounding was a good call ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If it was such a throwaway, what would there be to regret? He's obviously just irritated that he didn't expand upon it himself.

The Dark Knight is really the only Ledger thing I can rewatch, since he's borderline unrecognizable in it. Allows me to enjoy his work without feeling such an obvious sense of loss.
It also happens to be his best performance imo, so lucked out there.

As for Mads as Hannibal, typical masterclass of acting that I don't think surprises anyone so why even belabour it. He's incapable of giving a bad or uninteresting performance.

I'd also like to add what this show did for people like me with extreme social anxiety. Hugh Dancy's portrayal of Will was so relatable & shined a spotlight on something that's very debilitating for a lot of us, and did so in an honest way.

Easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. It has characteristics that make what happened to it palatable, but that doesn't make it any less of a crime considering how damn good it was.

This is facts, whenever I take Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen and near invariably feel better, I think to myself, "Only an autistic person could've produced something so reliable" 🤌

Yeah that's what I'd do. Your OS might've just bugged out honestly.
Iirc you used to be able to rollback Android updates on Pixels but Google doesn't let you do that anymore without flashing your device which wipes it :p

OOF. You should try taking it to a 3P place. I still have my Pixel 7 Pro and recently both my volume buttons just fell the fuck out for no reason at all. I'll have to order replacement parts from AliExpress or something.

You're still right though, at least the others have support channels that are easily findable, even if the service is bad.
You'll sooner find the Holy Grail than get on the phone with a human being at Google, if you can find a number at all.

I switched to the Pixel ecosystem but now I'm just really careful with my phone, because I know if something goes awry I'm f'ed.

Or Apple, or Samsung, or etc. lol. They all suck.
I remember contacting Apple support a while back before I switched to Android, and they scheduled me in for a support call the following month 💀
It was at that point I said "I'm out" like they do on Dragon's Den.
