He was a good but very different type of villain in Bad Times at the El Royale, although that's a pretty mediocre film.
Peter musicey? The big zoop band? Mooose? Spider-Man 2? Donny and the fridge raiders? Pitbull? Shani Block? I can't believe you haven't heard of these guys.
Yeah as a doctor with a PHD in this exact topic and a huge dick, it's not really in my interests to misrepresent myself.
The third one down almost certainly intentionally has the numbers 14 and 88 as a reference to a nazi dog whistle.
I can't decide if this makes it more likely to be satire or less.
I've been using this for years>
.It's part of my phone's overall aesthetic of lock screen, home screen and keyboard.
As for where I found it, I believe somewhere on Reddit 5 or so years ago that I changed to my phone screen resolution. I also made a version with animated twinkling stars and moving waves but ithe waves were less pretty so I dropped it eventually.
The only silly thing is that all my friends and my partner all have eachother as our lock screens in a cute way, but I am too committed to my lock screen to change.
People have ripped this image apart for it's AI use. I believe Kate's entire face is also just copied from a vogue photoshoot or something too.
The photo is absolutely true. Not just are there several AI artifacts but her face in the photo is identical to a photo from a photoshoot that came from vogue, meaning it's very likely that she wasn't at this photoshoot at all.
Honestly, particularly as someone who only married into the royal family, my heart goes out to her for whatever is going on. It's clear that since that operation she's been out of the public eye, whether she's just recovering, in a coma or as some believe dead, it's still sad.
What I don't understand is the cover up and mystery, particularly when it comes to the wife of the future king after the massive amounts of drama and conspiracy around Diana.
I've had a (probably wrong) take on the ridiculous direction modern GPUs have gone, that isn't just because of crypto mining, ridiculous profit margins and machine learning. From when I got into the hobby until the release of the PS5 and whatever Xbox competed with it, if you built a PC at a similar budget to a console, it would consistently outperform it. The PC I built 8 years ago has started showing its age but in its prime was about 1½ times the cost of a console for triple the power, now 1½ the cost of a console more or less gets you a console.
Part of that is the horrendous inflation of PC parts, particularly the GPUs, but also that the hobby has shifted away from being competitive against consoles to having no chance of being cost competitive. When they stopped being in competing fields, the cost of PC parts just exploded.
Some people have mentioned that some people with foot fetishes have a habit of trying to get people they find attractive to talk about their feet which makes everyone uncomfortable, to the point that it's kinda of the main reason I think a stigma has formed against it.
If I met someone who for some reason I suspected was into feet, I'd be a little wary until I felt they weren't gonna be weird about people's feet, but I think if i met a knee fetish person, I'd be so surprised they exist that i wouldn't think about this aspect even though it's just as likely.
I also assumed the swooper still decelerates you a little even if not by much. If you're falling at 50m/s as you are trying to slow your fall by taking a skydiver pose, and a superhero caches you midair, you could decelerate over half a second and stop moving within 12 meters while still only experiencing 10g.
12m is pretty tall but not insane in a superhero style piece of fiction where people may be dropped out the sky or from tall buildings. If you want to increase that g-force to the maximum survivable limit of near 100g (in theory), you'd only need to go from terminal velocity to 0m/s in 1.5 meters. Being reasonable, being caught 5 meters above the ground would be enough for most people to survive without major reprocussions, and is always better than hitting the ground.
Unfortunately I suspect we'll get third party 'consoles' that are basically the equivalent of the handhelds from nthe console market, potentially locked to set stores.
The only reason we currently don't have any prevalent under TV consoles that are glorified steam deck competitors is because anyone interested in that market is tech savvy enough to see you may as well have a PC doing the same.
I don't see consoles dying out for a decade yet but I suspect the next step is this. That or they'll embrace cloud gaming, where people are just streaming games of their servers, making them much harder to pirate, easier to charge a subscription for and easier to maintain and release smaller hardware changes. This has 99 downsides although does come with the upside of basically not requiring the larger tech companies to hold back innovation by generation, which may accelerate the the gaming tech industry slightly. I saw an article back when the PS5 was releasing that was basically about how a huge field of graphics tech has a boon on a major console release and stagnates with it, which is caused by so many of the people making content for high end graphical tech being people making games for consoles and there is little reason to outpace what they can perform.
All of that is my speculation from absolutely nowhere in the industry, so take it all with a big swig of salt.
MCDM were plagued with shipping issues for this product. I don't remember the specifics but it really was just unfortunate issue followed by unfortunate issue.
I believe most people received them a while ago though, I saw this book in a game store maybe 4-6 months ago I think.
They did make a great game with that framework :) In may 2002, we got Morrowind, and not just that, they even iterated uponcthat framework slightly in the 22 years since! If you look at it today you could almost believe that the framework would be great in the late 2000s!
That could be phrases differently.
Is Shawn his name or the noise he made in the car crash?
Two hours on it and still going strong.
I don't even think this is the fast charging prank, I think she thought it was be a cool tiktok dance shot.
I think Spiderman is a decent example of not being comically ripped but I always believe he's as strong as he's depicted due to his powers.
A popular suggestion has been to implement the ability for communities across instances to 'subscribe' to eachother, which puts the networking of these communities in the hands of the moderators of that community.
I want that feature above all else.
It's a shame cities skylines 2 doesn't run on many PCs, or even that the first one became so DLC heavy because watching SimCity implode under EA's bullshit just for an amazing successor to take to the field was amazing.
I'm very excited for the successor to the Sims but I've been waiting for it a scarily long time without any major promising news.
