Andor is an espionage show, not an action movie. (Much like The Mandalorian, especially early on, was a western.) Even modern FX is much too expensive to make a weekly action/ war movie plausible. If you didn't find episode 6 tense as hell, I would advise you not have it on your TV while you're...

Real talk, wasn't rape one of, if not the, original safespace word? I don't think I was even aware of the concept of trigger words until The Sixth Slave - Penny Arcade of all things became a internet flashfire. It's always been my belief that rape was such a banned word solely because it was...

Packers: B+ The general consensus at the end of the season was the Packers needed a real legitimate #1 WR, and Golden gives us that while also giving us the room to not burn through our 2026+ salary resigning at market prices all the WRs whose rookie deals are about to expire...

Am I the only one annoyed with Dedra's backstory? I think it's very unclear how old Dedra is supposed to be - she's 45 in real life, but the show seems to be portraying her as a young up and comer - but unless she's supposed to be in her early 20s, the orphanage line makes no sense. Because of...

Watson may never see the field again for the Browns, and Flacco's falling off the QB cliff. Unless you're pinning all your hopes on Kenny Pickett, they can't afford anyone else and might as well go in bulk with the rookies.

I think there's some split between 'Superstars in the NIL era only after the fame of starting (since they already have their college cash)' and specifically 'Sanders being from the Sanders household'. I expect to see more self-inflated superstars get their draft day comeuppance in the future...

Come on third day! (Not sure how Shedeur hate became _the_ topic of the draft, but it doesn't seem like anyone is talking about anything else.)

Not seeing the TV feeds, but wasn't Jalen Milroe also in GB? The league really whiffed as well as to when they thought these QBs would be drafted.

2005 only had one QB taken in the top 20 in Alex Smith at #1, and then no second QB until Aaron Rodgers at 24. Sure, Rodgers is a toxic diva now, but every other team in the league would have traded for him in a heartbeat fifteen years ago, and the Packers didn't even need Rodgers in 2005 and he...

I wasn't a Sanders fan, but I didn't think he sit this long - hell, is he #33?

The excitement is palpable at the NFL Draft..... 's waiting line. (I should not have stepped out to throw my purchases in my car.) Not a surprise given how awkward GB is to get to vs every other NFL city, but the crowd is like 95% Packers fans.

The current Mon Mothma actress showed up in Ahsoka and also apparently does Mon's voice in current cartoons (I don't watch them). But jesus christ people, I may be borderline assburger, and even I could recognize that Mon's dancing was supposed to be symbolic of the crew recognizing that their...

Launch cooldown manager. Doesn't have trinkets, DOES have two talents (my assuredly non-optimized build) has as passives. Can't edit Blizz's layout. I suppose its better than nothing, but not massively. Edit: Also, only ~one third of the patch content came out this week, and it still doesn't...

My pen and paper history was AD&D to Shadowrun, with a lot of dawn of internet forum / newsgroup arguing over SR, so its just my personal nostalgia. Disclaimer: I need to give serious reattempts to Disco, BG3, Divinity, and Witcher 3, all of which fell off due to real life time crunches.

What the hell is an RPG now anyway? I mean that literally - which do you include / exclude out of Mass Effect / Cyberpunk 2077 / Fallout 4? Those characters have wildly different skill sets and narratives based on your choices. Is it background stats? Because then Grand Theft Auto San Andreas...
