"Snow White has been poisoned and put into a deep sleep! The only way to cure her is to find a female business owner and have them offer Snow White a mid-level management job with a firm handshake!"

Leading up to the FTX / SBF trial, we are reminded how scummy he is.

NRS always seem to make a game that has an uneven polish to them. Most characters look great, while a few look incomplete. I remember Wonder Woman in Injustice 2 looked really out of place.

I have no issue with bringing back characters from the dead either, this just was a ploy to bait comic book sales and give a character a clean slate. They couldn't even wait a couple of months to bring her back.

It just shows how creatively bankrupt comics are these days. It is just easier to hit the reset button before handing it off to the next creative team rather than build something. I am more shocked they managed to slap on every X Men logo on her costume.

Having kameo fighters be the key gimmick in MK 1 instead of a special battle tower mode is strange to me. It does seem that interactive backgrounds are gone, so there is that.

Happy July 4th! Behold the newest art meme: female cell!

From your experience, when would be the best time to apply aspects to your armor and weapons?

Playing through Diablo IV, I have been having fun just exploring the map, tackling side quests, hunting Lilith statues etc, all the while still on chapter 3 of the campaign. I am still melting critters with poison werewolf but almost every legendary I have found revolves around werebear, so I might switch to bulldoze to the end of the story. From my experience, it is not worth hunting down aspects until you decide on a build for the late game. Also since the first season will start soon, it doesn't seem worth it to stockpile aspects for other character classes.

I'm sure DSP will rant about this video, it would be interesting if he chooses to learn from the video but I doubt it. It would be funny if this twitter nonsense creates a resurgence of the forum format.

Interesting mix of funny and insightful.

Juri is very fun. Integrating her fuhajin move (gains charges) into combos and pokes is easy enough, so her charge moves are easy to accumulate. Plus she can do this:

Logo design is always on a mission to modernize, be sleeker, and still be recognizable. It doesn't go well with sports teams, usually losing their recognition in the process.

I might give this a try.

"When the Titan went missing Sunday, it prompted a massive search operation led by the US Coast Guard with French and Canadian authorities. US officials haven’t commented publicly on the cost of the five-day mission, though experts estimate the figure is in the millions." https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/24/business/extreme-travel-cost/index.html I also now know what heliskiing is.

Started playing Diablo IV as a druid. My build is focused on poison from shred, pets and rabies. Even at level 24 it melts groups quickly. So far I am enjoying the game and looking forward to working with the other classes.

I saw an interesting classic movie last night called Curse of the Demon. It was a story about the occult and had good special effects for its time. Martin Scorsese holds it in high regard. This was the opening sequence:
