If this is an accurate depiction of dating for us younger millennial and Gen z? Then no surprise it's such a sh1t show. First and last one bruh....

 

This is just turbo speed dating as reality TV. I think there was one episode where one girl went through the entire room of guys and they walked out.

I'm ALMOST shocked

There was no way that guy was going to live to see next year.

any idea guys which social media game devs like capcom are active now besides twitter?

Capcom also uses facebook, instagram, and discord. There are newer options coming up like threads but so far the alternatives are not sticking yet.

More Billy Mitchell craziness:

Rachel horsing around while jeopardizing future Disney paychecks isn't smart, especially since Disney is scrutinizing everything these days.

Happy Birthday HD-Man!

Funny and corny club, but nostalgic for its time.

I know it was played out as a completely separate entity in WCW, but looking back on the NWO, it was bizarre how many wrestlers were involved, the factions etc.

Command grabs still have the huge recovery they were given mid-way through SFV, because SFV was all about being in your face and grapplers could get really snow-bally with V-Trigger, but in VI it's Drive Rush to be king, and Drive Rush makes a lot of characters able to go for heavily damaging mixups and be plus if they're wrong. Grapplers' Drive Rushes universally suck and they still die if they guess wrong. There's no reason to pick a grappler if you only care about competition because everyone else has safer, better roads to damage.

 

Not that I really care personally because Manon is fun to use and everyone can win with anything online. I'm the guy who switched from Cammy to Falke when she was released, because she was fun and she somehow carried me to Diamond while she was labelled the worst character in the game and Cammy was Rashid tier. There's no low tierdom that scares or concerns me.

Before the game came out I thought grapplers would have an easier time because of the drive system, especially when I saw that Zangief had no green hand in the game once again. Most of the characters in 6 appear to be built to work with multiple strategies. Manon is good at mid range and Lily has her ground game and wind buffs. Zangief needs to be in the opponents face with no alternative, meanwhile like you said everyone else has safer, better roads to damage.

Combofiend: "Now we have a Zero May Cry mirror match and......" 

Hard. Pass.

I am going through the Granblue tourney vids and that is fun to watch. I might pick up the first game since it is super cheap now to prep for rising.

It's literally his job to research his guests, how did he think Daniel Pudi makes private jet money?

 

The guy whose whole gimmick is to eat hot wings with his guests and torture them under spicy sauce does more research and asks better questions then veteran ass Larry King. 

At that point of his career I don't think Larry King gave a shit. I got the impression that he was more interested in cranking out interviews to fill a time slot.

It's... a sign. It's literally just placing a sign. How do you screw that up when you have access to planners and shit?

 

I'm beginning to think this dude is just Wheatley from Portal 2.

At a time when the company is going to court over unpaid rent, Elon thinks it is in the best interest of the company to make a giant, flashing Las Vegas sign on top of a half empty office building. What kind of a play is this? Is he opening a dance club on the top floor?

I haven't watched any of this show yet but this trope of "YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT YOUR SECRET IDENTITY SO NOW I'M GOING TO FORCE MYSELF ON A MORAL HIGH GROUND" is annoying.  There's rarely a time that this trope is pulled off correctly and justified and most of the time it just makes the person who is trying to feel "vicitimized" over not being told selfish and almost instantly insufferable.

I have been watching the show and this a weird speed bump on everything the show was built on, especially since Lois was forcing Clark to confess.

This was episode 5 of a 10 episode season, so I assume this will be smoothed over quick. Even then, it was a strange scene to have.

I had this show up in my Twitter feed and it was marked 2 hours ago so I jumped on google to double check it.

So...what are we gonna call tweets now?

X-es? X-snips? X-its?

Seems like the worst thing to do is to throw away the entire brand and make it sound like a porn site. At this point, I assume Elon is looking for an excuse to shut down the company and use that as a tax write off.

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

Quote

The temperature got cranked even higher on the hot water FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was already submerged in. FTX’s new management sued him and some of its other former execs this week, hoping to claw back over $1 billion of company funds.

The collapsed crypto exchange claims the ex-execs misappropriated the money for “pet projects” and personal use such as…

• Gifting $10 million to Bankman-Fried’s father—cash that FTX believes is now being used to bankroll SBF’s legal defense.
• Routing $725 million in FTX stock to company executives who provided nothing in return that would justify the equity.
• Using $546.1 million to buy a stake in Robinhood.

Perhaps most surprisingly, FTX also contends Bankman-Fried’s brother planned to tap into its budget to purchase the Pacific island nation of Nauru as a potential apocalypse hideaway.

Separately, the Justice Department accused SBF of leaking the PERSONAL DIARIES of his ex, Caroline Ellison, to try to influence the criminal trial over his actions at FTX. Ellison was the CEO of Alameda Research, the FTX-affiliated crypto trading firm the company allegedly funneled customer funds to. She has already pleaded guilty to fraud and is a key witness against SBF. Prosecutors claim SBF, who has pleaded not guilty, leaked her candid notes about their relationship in order to portray her as a “jilted lover” who committed the crimes on her own.

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.
