Season one was great, but I hope they’ve greenlit future seasons already and it won’t be a two year gap for season three. It’s one thing to wait two years for prestige TV, but animated stuff (as excellent as it may be) should be on a more frequent schedule.
It currently has a planned season 3 ending, although it seems like a “you get one more season, wrap it up” so sorta planned.
In terms of future setup, until the announcement of Zodiac yesterday we had no live action shows lined up going forward and every other show coming to an end. It seemed like the MCU live action TV was coming to an end, or at least an extended pause.
My best guess is post Secret Wars soft reboot, and then we can bring the Defenders (and others) back for whatever multi season show we want including Heroes for Hire.
Leap Day Williams has to be my favorite. Inventing a new holiday with new holiday lore, and a classic Jim Carrey movie. Just perfect.
In the case of demons they usually have a “roll to disobey” clause. If someone wants to summon a room full of demons go for it, everyone will probably end up dead.
Plus if someone really abused it you can have some demon lord hunt them down and cause even more problems.
Makes sense for anyone who saw the first season, but glad to see it confirmed. Perhaps he’ll be the multi season big bad, always evading Dexter.
(Long ago, you lost almost everything almost instantly on death. It completely sucked and really should’ve been changed sooner.)
I used to play in the long ago and let me tell you it created a whole new type of player, vultures.
The biggest quest at the time ended with you fighting a big green dragon (Elvarg). The dragon was behind a door and as long as you hadn’t beaten the dragon you could open the door to the dragons lair.
Outside the door were a bunch of skeletons and demons meant to make the area a challenge to get to, however many high level players camped in the area for XP and loot. So the skeletons and demons were constantly under attack and the area outside was actually pretty safe. In fact whenever someone went in to fight the dragon most high level players cheered them on.
Well more often then not, those players died. When they died, as the article mentions, they lost almost all their gear. Usually keeping their weapon, body armor and leg armor, but dropping their helmet and food. The loot would fall to the ground and sadly the high level players on the outside were unable to open the door and retrieve it (since they completed the quest already and the door was locked for them). So they had to watch the loot despawn.
Enter the vultures. Run into the battle area after someone failed to kill the dragon, dodge the drag itself, and try to scoop up as much loot as you could. I forget if you could use the door to exit or if we teleported out.
Was it the most efficient way to make money? Probably not. Was it fun to run around a dragons lair? Absolutely. Did it suck when you were the one to die and have your loot picked by other vultures? Such was the nature of the game.
In the long run the modern death mechanics are probably better for the game as a whole, but sometimes chaos is just more fun.
Already, the company has managed to bring together the tech stacks of Paramount+, BET+ and Pluto TV, a shift that subscribers and viewers do not notice. Ellison credited “the way AI technology and other things have progressed” for providing a boost to that process.
This is the most managerial statement of “AI does nothing” that I have ever read. I knew it was bullshit, but to read it is a whole new level.
Ok but what if you’re American and the meme still applies?
FYI to post an image use,
I don’t think Google Drive links work.
They definitely could, as could any of the companions. I would bet a companion run in first and probably a Doctor voicing a guest non-Doctor character, but probably a Doctor crossover eventually.
I look forward to some weird lore being added to Doctor Who.
They haven’t announced a cast yet, but the show follows a young Doctor. Based on the image we have a young teenage Doctor. Of course that means… A new Doctor! The Doctor has never regenerated that young before, although as we saw with the Timeless Child, it can happen.
Do I think the show will address this in any way? Absolutely not. But will it cause some weird lore? Absolutely.
In “A New Hope” after R5 explodes he tells Luke they should purchase R2D2. Luke and Uncle Owen could have picked any replacement droid, but C3PO advises them to pick R2D2.
“Nobody stops to fuel their vehicle taking gasoline, gets out, rushes as fast as possible, puts as much fuel in the car as possible, and gets back in the car and drives away,”
Emphasis mine. I think the “gets out” is the big difference between a daily trip which I think includes the “splash n dash” and the road trip.
Because I think you’re right, it’s extremely common to pull into a gas station, fill up in 5 minutes, and then drive away. But I would bet the majority of those stops come immediately after leaving or on your way home (or work). So in an EV world we could eliminate those stops completely.
I think for trips where you’re traveling beyond one tank of gas or beyond one full charge, then I think the quote is closer to being correct. At that point most people probably take a break and a 15-20 minute charge is fine.
Is the Nolan Batman trilogy worth watching? Even after that horrible Clooney Batman film?
Yes. Lanterns is worth watching.
It’s a True Detective type show with a slow burn, so if that’s not your thing then maybe it’s the show for you. That being said watch the first episode, if you’re intrigued keep with it, if not then it’s not the show for you.
Finding communities can be confusing: There can be multiple communities about the same topic on different servers: For example: Linux@lemmy.ml and Linux@lemmy.world
I agree that finding communities can be confusing, but I don’t think the problem is the naming.
For example on Reddit if you wanted to talk about video games you’d look at /r/gaming. However over time, since that was a “default sub”, it became a bit of a mess and instead /r/Games was the community to have real discussion about video games. But of course over time that too became a bit of a mess and /r/TrueGaming was the best place to talk about video games. In fact for a long time /r/True<topic> was a common way to find the better community.
Of course the name of a community might be confusing to an outsider. On Reddit if I’m a fan of Game of Thrones there is /r/GameOfThrones, but what if I’m looking for something a bit more meme worthy, well that’s /r/freefolk.
And that’s true even on Lemmy. What if I want Star Trek memes? Well that’s !tenforward@lemmy.world
I think discoverability is something that can be improved. Of course at the moment so many communities are so small, so looking at all of them isn’t really much of a problem. You can usually find what you’re looking for.
Exactly! I’d be curious to see the reverse poll, asking Lemmy users “Why does nobody use Mastodon?” (and include Bluesky and Twitter in the poll.)
I use Lemmy (and in the past Reddit) because topic based conversation is what makes sense to me. Anytime I try to use Mastodon or Bluesky I lurk for a bit and then just come back here.
The West Wing is a fantasy show about how you wish politics worked. Then we got Veep, which is how we thought politics really worked. Now we realize Veep was also a fantasy.
Honestly just an excellent episode of Ted Lasso.
It’s one of those episodes where you can clearly see where the story is heading just a few minutes in. You know it’s going to end in heartbreak but you deny it. And of course you can also see the plot line of the episode ending in joy. Then it hits, the huge victory and the huge loss, back to back.
Just beautifully done.
Which is surprising when you look at Europe. Europe made text messaging too costly early on and everyone switched to WhatsApp. You’d think Europe would try to win people back with RCS but instead… Nothing?
