To quote Steven Colbert: I have kids - that I know of!

I appreciate the thoughts and analysis. I would counter that for neurodivergent folks such as myself it is not that simple. If I turn on do-not-disturb or airplane mode, will I remember to turn it off? Will I remember to set a timer to remind myself to turn it off? Will I set the mode to turn...

I don't see how using Do Not Disturb mode is excercising willpower. Is it the willpower to turn it on? It has to be because after turning it on there's no willpower involved - the DND mode is doing it for you. Unless the willpower is also in resisting the urge to turn it off? Regardless...

Yeah - that is not a game I want to play. When digital comic books first became viable everyone in the print comics biz was worried it would be the end of comics. Instead, the presence of digital comics made more people aware of comics in general, or that comics were "still a thing". (I used...

I didn't realize this until now, but for the first two decades or so of my gaming life I never used a computer for anything ttrpg-related. I'm that old! It also occurs to me that - maybe partly because of the above - there is nothing appealing to me about using AI for anything in my gaming...

"MORTAL ENEMIES!!!"

IIRC, Reed's dad is canonically a real piece of work, so it's takes little to imagine Reed and Victor sharing that dad.

Oh, and we have an electric stove from 1956! It came with the house. It's a big one, with warming drawers and everything.

I have one of those black portable audio cassette players, about 9x6", and a large shoebox full of cassettes that I play on it. In it? Anyway, I don't use it often, but I do still use it. I also have this little portable tv/radio I bought for $1 recently that partly works. Trying to figure out...

I picked "3", and then read the first post! :D Thwen I changed my vote to "4". D&D 5E has a level and type of complexity that I dislike, and because I know it well I think placing it at level 6 makes sense - although it does beg the question "if 5E is a 6, what lies at 7, 8, and 9 before we get...

66.67% of vampires: not evil.

People are talking about how the shot of Ben when he's shaking hands with M'Baku is framed oddly, as if one or more characters were removed from the shot for this latest teaser. Maybe other members of the FF? In fact, Sue could be there - but invisible!!! 😉 So now I'm going to assume that Sue...

The "AI Overview will be equally wordy regardless of how much information it has found (let alone how much reliable information it has found). Basically, it's set up to make you think it's providing a lot of utility, even when it's not.

We clearly experienced that differently. Loki season 1 was Disney+' most successful series at the time, and season 2 had a ~35% drop from that. So, plenty of people watched it.

Jonathan Majors is quietly menacing in Quantumania, and really interesting in Loki season 2, but that movie has conceptual problems and story problems. That compounded with Major's harassment and assault convictions to sour the whole thing. Recasting and continuing to focus on Kang would have...

Based on the comics, the premise of these movies, and Namor's disposition in Wakanda Forver, it's not hard to imagine Namor working with Doom...for a while...

...and a hapless Reed trying to figure out what to do about it - that whole thing could be a nice little source of drama/comedy. I can see Sue nemused at Reed as he tries to nerd-ily out-macho Namor.

Seeing ANH way back when, I just assumed Ben was wearing weather-appropriate desert-y robes. Then TPM comes out and I'm like "HUH-uh?!?!?" Makes no sense any way you slice it...unless the Jedi took to wearing desert robes for some cultural reason (did the Jedi start out on a desert planet?) and...

The thing about Ben "hiding" in his Jedi robes is a real head-scratcher.

Maybe there's are no lawyers in SW, so there are no regulations about where dangerous buildings/rooms/chambers/pits can be located and no one has to spend time or money preventing people from falling into them. Maybe he went full Death Star after realizing how much darn trouble a galactic...
