  • Me with the 1993 Mario Bros movie

    Jump

  • I hope you're not referring to this fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper. First, Keith David's never been a wrestler, and second, it's a hilariously awkward, unnecessary, and drawn out fight that deserves love, not scorn.

    Was there some other fight with a pro wrestler in the movie that I forgot about? It's been a while since I saw it and didn't see any wrestlers I recognized in the main cast.

  • The first MK movie was the archetypal "It's good... for a video game adaptation" movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.

    But yeah, there's always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.

  • Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report says it all: Voters saved Trump from prosecution

    Jump

  • We don't elect presidents anymore. We elect short(-ish) term kings

  • Civ7 is officially steam deck verified

    Jump

  • Good point. I remember needing a pretty beefy PC to run Civ V at launch. Even coming back to it after a hardware upgrade, the game could get pretty chuggy towards the end of a playthrough.

  • This is why it's important to get good grades in math class.

    Jump

  • The goofy light-hearted sitcom Ghosts has a terrifying setup for how the ghosts can move about. They can move through matter laterally, but still use stairs and inclines to change elevation. Go down to the basement and through the wall? Then you'll be trapped in darkness and unable to find your way back except by accident. One character falls down a well and is trapped for most of a season. Another is missing for decades.

  • Sonic has beat himself at the box office

    Jump

  • No, Reubens got his ticket and went into the theater like a normal weirdo. Beating it outside the box office is just being extra.

  • Stream fatigue? Americans spent 23% less on streaming services in 2024, study finds

    Jump

  • People also have less disposable income. It's easy to be lazy and keep a streaming service or two going that you're not really using when money is flowing. When you have to cinch the belt, you tend to remember that you can cancel at any time and just jump from one service to another.

    Assuming you don't have more... piratic tendencies.

  • One dead after Tesla Cybertruck catches fire outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas

    Jump

  • A picture from this ABC article shows gas cans, camping stove cans, and fireworks in the back of the truck. The truck battery somehow survived.

  • Batman is a MENACE!

    Jump

  • Hmm, I dunno. I see a distinct lack of bat nipples in this costume

  • the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

    Jump

  • Is this some New Social Media platform problem I'm too elder millenial to understand?

  • r(ul)etro

    Jump

  • I was going to quibble with you regarding the OG Xbox and PS2, but then I looked up their release dates. I feel so goddamn old.

  • More Americans are taking the train than ever

    Jump

  • I took a train trip from Raleigh to DC earlier this year. It worked okay, but had big delays in both directions, and the seats were only a little bit bigger than economy flight seats, not super comfortable for 6'2" me. The Wifi was also out for most of the trip and that route takes you through a whole lot of cellular dead zones. Still hard to argue with a $105 round trip ticket though.

    My understanding of the scheduling issues is that freight rail companies break regulation by overloading their trains and jumping the line over passenger rail.. Amtrak has been lobbying for the government to enforce existing laws to prevent it. I doubt that the incoming administration will do much to alleviate those pains though.

  • TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.

    Jump

  • If you have an Echo device, you can also ask Alexa to "thank my driver" and it will apply it to the most recent order on your account. Just did it for an order that came in on Monday and Alexa gave me the $5 spiel.

  • Why are Republicans struggling in Swing State Elections?

    Jump

  • Can't comment on the rest, but the NC gubernatorial race is pretty obvious. The GOP nominated an anti-trans blowhard who turned out to also be crooked, perverted, racist, and pro-slavery. He was trailing in the polls before the CNN piece about him.

    The GOP basically set out to find just how low they could go with a candidate and finally found the bar. Black Nazis are apparently that bar.

  • James. Fucking. Holden

    Jump

  • We don't deserve Shohreh OR Chrissy. Such a great character and actress to bring her to life.

  • Social Media Users Remind Trump He Also Pardoned a Family Member — And Then Made Him an Ambassador

    Jump

  • I'm sure the This you? meme is going to get plenty of play through the next administration.

  • cozy

    Jump

  • Bold of you to assume winter fans are outside.

  • XMPP using nearly 10x less battery than Signal on a degoogled Android phone

    Jump

  • I'd also be curious how it scales as you add more contacts. I don't think Signal does presence monitoring, does it?

  • Embarrassed Teslas Drivers Buying Huge Numbers of Anti-Elon Bumper Stickers

    Jump

  • Yeah, I bought mine in 2019 back when Musk just seemed like a dorky edgelord. I'm definitely not going to buy a new car just because Tesla's CEO is a tool, though when I AM ready, it's certainly not going to be another Tesla.
