    To be honest on this, it doesn't matter if Punk or anyone else thinks that frame data is ruining fighting games because inevitably SOMEONE is going count frames and that person is going to put their findings up on the internet.  Putting the frame data up in the game just streamlines the process so everyone has access to the same information because if you didn't, the conversation be about people who know and have access to that data versus people who don't.

    Im more facinated by harada. Punk complains about something new every week but harada is the real enemy. Because he actually has sway, its annoying and all its gonna lead towards is more hacking the pc games apart lol. Like its the fgc, we figured frame data out long before the industry actually gave it to us

    lmfao finished the boys...the ending wasnt a let down to me like alot of people. just they wanted to end all the storylines. i personally dont feel its rushed but i guess thats me.

     

    jensen ackles was good but at the same time...he was literally rated r dean winchester lmfao. i guess thats kinda the point, but maybe not. literally never seen him anything outside of supernatural so i dunno if hes a 1 note actor. but overall i liked it.

    All of this drama is because Elon has been playing the long game, in order to force twitter to sell, and to sell cheaply.

    Elon knows that they are smoke and mirrors hence why he asked for the users number data, and how many bots plague the platform (We are talking about bots that "engage" by posting shit to inflate engagement)

    His offer was a way out for many investors, since twitter has never really made money, only seeing growth in returns and useres once Elos offered to buy the platform, and now that he is retracting, the stock price is going down.

     

    They are desperate, hence why they want to sue, but suing him only helps him, since it force them to reveal the data that they have not wanted to reveal to him, since him knowing the actual data will likely diminish the value they could ask for it.

    from what ive read they gave him the info on bots already and hes just saying that to say stuff. whether thats true i guess we'll find out in courts

    whats the difference between might gai's red beast 8 gates mode, and goku's kaio ken tech? seems like both techs are exactly the same. dontcha think?

    No. While both are amplifiers, but each gate level gives you access to a different ability. As well as opening the final gate is instant death of used too long. Supposedly rock can use it but we haven't seen it. Only two people have used the 8th gate and both died. Might had to be brought back by ninja jesus. Gate of death is literally eating up your body. That red vapor? That's actually blood being vaporized. 

     

    Kaio ken while theoretically could kill goku he just gets exhausted and relies on a diff tactic.

    Yup. Elliot Page (fka Ellen Page) said he was proud of how they introduced him being trans on Umbrella Academy, and that triggered JP into pure "old man screams at cloud" shit. It's equal parts hilarious and cringe.

    He lost his gawd damn mind. He got bullied off of twitter for a day and came by with the most meme worthy material. 

     

    I swear every fucking time someone starts losing their mind about mahood its always a dude whos about to get blown away by a strong gust of wind.

    So saw Thor: Love and Thunder. 

     

    Overall, I had a good time. It was a far better "feel" coming out of the theater than Dr. Strange 2. 

     

    Things that I enjoyed

    • Thor and Jane's chemistry is on display and it's great.
    • Soundtrack
    • Humor is used in timely ways.
    •  The overall premise that underpins the movie.
    • Bale's performance.

    Things that hurt the film

    • Gorr and Valkyrie (as wasted/underused opportunities),
    • The movie is more concerned with a lighter tone than the actual themes. 
    • Pacing - for a 2hr movie it felt a bit long.

    Personal gripe

    • Pick a leitmotif and stick with it. 
    • I don't need Thor to be a lighter take on "Party Thor" . 

    This wants to be Ragnarok, but doesn't have the right balance for the story it's tryin to tell. I do think it's worth your money, but I'm not over the moon for it. Bale brings its, when he's on screen,  but his character becomes a way to move the story than impacting it. Out of 10 (with a 5 being "middle of the road"), i'd give it a 7. 

     

     

     

    Funny it being 2 hours is prob one of the shorter marvel movies

    This is every Trek tho. Those first 1 or 2 season tend to be AWFUL. Next Gen didnt start to find itself until halfway through Season 2 and while DS9 is rather strong throughout, the first 2 seasons are pretty dull to compared to the rest of the show. Like its not great when I'm most invested in Quarks schemes and Odos babysitting then i am the actual issue of the episode lol.

    Yeah this is pretty true next gen, ds9, voyager all took time to find their voices.

    Janeway, like Star Trek Voyager, has a lukewarm reception from the fanbase. Janeway usually near the bottom of the Captains list but it's not because she's a woman. It's because Voyager was a disappointment. 

     

    A bunch of people hate Sisko, you can miss me with this one. SIsko, like DS9, is well regarded over all. DS9, like TNG before it, took a couple seasons to find it's footing, but hit the mark once it's found it's identity. DS9 is one of most well regarded series in the franchise. 

     

    I completely disagree with your take on Discovery and why it was criticized. Discovery took a lot of heat. Michael Burnham's race and gender was not focus of the issues people had with the show. Although there was lot of mockery of the media for making a big deal about Michael Burnham's race and gender. Because, actual Star Trek fans knew about Sisko and Janeway. Discovery, like Enterprise before it, was yet another prequel series. Fan sentiment heavily favored moving forward in the timeline. That was the biggest issue with Discovery prelaunch.

     

    The series was supposed to be in the original timeline. Post launch It made a multitude of changes that didn't line up with the original timeline. Burnham's relationship with Spock's family made no sense. Spock wasn't a minor character that hadn't been explored. He was explored in TOS, TNG, and as well as the movies. A character like Burnham would have come up. It's part of the danger of making prequels, you pigeon hole yourself.

     

    It further jumbled the issue of the appearance of the Klingons. This already happened with the previous change in appearance 1960s to the 1980s. They gave some lame excuse about them not being changed or them just having shaved heads because their ridges were some sort of sensory organ impeded by hair. It was a joke. Just say you made an artistic choice, take the criticism, and keeping it moving.

     

    The in universe technology seemed too advanced for a pre TOS series. The Discovery was flying around through space doing things beyond the Enterprise D's capability. A ship that is 100 years past it in technological capability. Yet it precedes the original Enterprise by a mere decade. Star Trek is full of "techno babble". They put out tech manuals with fictional explanations about how things work. Fans are going to notice technological inconsistencies. Again an issue purely caused by going the prequel route. 

     

    TLDR: I basically disagree with everything you said. Saying Star Trek fans were up in arms about Michael Burnham's race and gender is like Putin saying he's trying to De-Nazify the Ukraine... a country with a Jewish president. It's diversionary tactic plain and simple. 

    In terms of janeway or sisko.. I wasnt the one bringing them up. But the idea they are universally loved is wild.
