Having not watched any of Season 4 yet: Season 3 was already a massive downturn in story quality from season 2, which was a massive downturn from season 1. It feels a lot like a long-running comic, where character growth and development get tossed out the window at the end of a run, and the next...

I'm actively playing right now and I'd be happy to talk about it if I'm an adequate substitute for (or addition to) Poe's insights.

That pretty much sums up the anti-vax movement at this point, doesn't it?

I wouldn't have expected this even a year ago, but Allegaeon are quickly climbing my list of favourite bands. I've had their new album pretty much on repeat for a few weeks now and it's not getting old.

Nice. I'm assuming there are a ton of commentaries that can help with that as well - though, in the little bit of interaction I had with Biblical translation, the Greek was pretty straightforward as well. A decent understanding of the Grammar and a good dictionary should get you a long way.

Modern or Ancient? My degree is in Classics, and my experience learning Ancient Greek was that it was all very confusing and arbitrary until it wasn't and it started making sense. That said, declensions - just like gender, tbh - are a matter of learning them as part of the vocabulary, rather...

...and a good chunk of the non-mobile market for good measure.

That would be a hell of a prank, anyway.

New free DLC for Battle Brothers got me playing again. I love this game, and the new origins do a good job of changing up the basic formula and giving me different things to worry about, without removing the (crushing) difficulty that makes the game compelling.

That's my exact feeling. 15 minutes into a run I'm sitting there wondering why I'm wasting my time on it, then the run finishes and all I want to do is start another.

I watched Reacher on Prime, and it felt like a Punisher (the Netflix series in particular) fanfic to a pretty incredible degree. To be clear, I like the Punisher series a lot, and I mostly enjoyed Reacher as well, but where I felt like Punisher made an effort to keep things grounded and show...

I actually can't quite believe that it's 2022 and GameFreak can't figure out how to make their pokemon look like they actually exist inside the game world. The trailer legitimately looks like the team developing the world and the team developing the characters/pokemon are totally distinct and...

If "Wanda got stronger" is all the information you need to get the full experience, why bother watching any of the movies at all when there are handy plot summaries all over the internet? Why not just wait for the final movie of each phase, watch it, and fill in the gaps with pithy one-line...

This is true as far as it goes, but the question was whether you need the context to get the full experience of the new Doctor Strange movie. I can't imagine going into it without having seen what Wanda went through in her show and not feeling left out when Strange is suddenly going to her for...

I got nothing out of the first few episodes of What If and bounced right off, honestly. Thought WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye were all well worth the time, though.

Honestly the D+ shows are mostly on a level with the mainline movies, albeit maybe heavier on the character interactions than the spectacle. I found them a lot more interesting than Shang-Chi or The Eternals even without considering that they're setting up the new status quo for the movies going...

As the resident Ontario-person...yeah. You're not far off. The RCMP are very romanticized here, at least where I've lived.

I heard this constantly from the people who convinced me to play, but my experience - starting the game after the mass exodus from wow - didn't match. There were at least 5 times during leveling where I had an absolutely shit experience in a dungeon, told one of my friends about it, and he said...

Now I watched Shang-Chi. It's okay. It's a paint-by-numbers application of the Marvel formula to a new character to the point where I was thinking "oh okay, so the next scene will be exactly..." a handful of times through the movie and was never surprised, but at least I was never actively...

"That elaborate conspiracy theory I went on a diatribe about was never part of my beliefs" is a wild approach to taking responsibility.
