Pretty much the only option they could have: Far enough in the future that someone built teleport gates between Andromeda and Milky Way to allow Andromedan races in the Milky Way. (Also, Andromeda already took place centuries (500+ years?) after ME3 due to travel time.) I'm not upset about...

Even as a divisional rival I have to admit that Caleb is a whole lot better than their backups, and that the Bears are a legitimate playoff contender _if_ Caleb stays healthy. January Chicago weather helps too, so the Bears getting ahead of the VIkings in the division really does matter.

Edgerunners Gig: In the past, I was expecting (completely out of my ass) more from the tie-in. You have access to the whole voice acting roster, make a new Fixer and add a number of new quests to the game using those characters. Instead, two voice actors did lines in a booth, for 5 and 15...

Note that The Electric State people didn't get residuals, so their salaries were larger than usual which bumped up the budget. That said, while $226M _may_ be up there for Star Wars releases, it isn't even in the real conversation for most expensive movies ever, even tossing out Covid costs for...

Thinking 'incompetent/propaganda-first leftists' and 'sexist women' are mutually exclusive is an odd take...

Much like the movie industry, creatives have always been leftist, and videogames stopped being controlled by programmers decades ago. The problem is the corporations _used to_ say 'Hey, let's not demonize nearly half the population and block our project from not losing money' and would dial...

I tried skimming through it and gave up. This seems like a better summary in a world where text is dead:

Err, yes, that's how it works - if players are cleared and refuse to play, they don't get paid. Whether Hurts should have been cleared is an entirely different question than _if_ teams can dock medically cleared players. Note that Hurts could / should have filed a grievance with the union on...

NFL players do realize this is fiction (bordering on satire), right? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50238315/source-jordan-elliott-attempted-retrieve-gun-car

The presumed Edgerunners 2 tie-in update, out on 10/22 (Thursday), is both less and more than expected: https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/52098/redstreams-cyberpunk-2077-edgerunners-2-update-2-5-is-coming Supposedly, there's only one tie-in gig (and who knows if that's anything more than video...

I'm not a doctor, but this seems like a lot of speculation over a comment with the depth of a tweet. I could see the actual scenario being they had him get up and move around every hour or what have you, which might well be worse to his mental faculties than not sleeping at all.

So the NFC playoff teams are basically down to: 49ers and Seahawks Vikings and Bears NFC East Winner between Cowboys / Giants (I don't think it's a lock for the Giants yet) NFC South Winner (Panthers with a sizable lead) with the only real question being who gets the 7th seed between Lions...

Hurts officially done for the year (and the Eagles* as well, to be honest): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50218378/eagles-jalen-hurts-season-due-blood-clots-lungs As far as Ballard, good, it is long past time people recognize that there is only so much the coach can do with a given...

Eh, while the free agent o-linemen they were able to grab are holding up better than their backup linemen they were down to, their run game is still non-existent, even against this Dallas defense. They might still look competent against the Lions, but are going to get hammered in succession by...

Speaking of not hitting expectations, are the Rams really about to go 2-4? I still think they make the playoffs, but having to deal with the 49ers / Seahakws / Vikings on the road isn't going go be great for their chances. Edit: And Davante Adams goes hobbling off after a non-contact. Not a...

Unless you're a divisional rival, the Chargers' incompetence isn't even fun to watch. Hell, if the Dolphins can squeak out a win next week vs the Jets, the Chargers would be the last winless team in the league. Talk about not hitting expectations.

It sounds like six weeks is the bare minimum he'd be out, but by that point the Eagles' season will likely be a wash and they'll keep him shelved regardless. Remember, the Eagles are keeping Lane Johnson on the active roster for the rest of the year because they can't take the dead money hit if...

Seahawks need a run game, Darnold cannot do this on his own.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of CBA Negotiators suddenly cried out in terror...

Not the first replacement that springs to mind, but https://deadline.com/2026/10/steven-soderbergh-the-batman-part-ii-1237158482/ They just have too much money in this thing, and Skydance has too many movies to put out per year, for this not to get finished.

I wasn't kidding - I expected the Dodgers to win, or if the Brewers won, would take seven. But if the Brewers can not only move on, but with their pitching core mostly rested? Holy crap.

Looking around on the internet, apparently Mistborn Era 3 is early computer tech, and the space fighters and such seen in Isles of the Emberdark and The Sunlit Man are Mistborn Era 4? These series (and the overall meta-narrative) are never going to end.

The RAM market has always fluctuated wildly based on their overall capacity vs total demand, as a handful of big players with a few fabs each means even +/- 1 fab is a huge swing in overall capacity. The last year has probably skewed the big three against rushing to produce more fabs (keeping...

Eh, people have been going on about the 'Death of The Movie Star' for decades, frequently in terms of the market having less and less blockbusters, but the older I get the less I believe it and the more it seems like raw demographics. The Baby Boomers had a ton of big name stars -...

The Fires of December: It's fine. Taking place in a world where people bind 'demons' (Negative Investiture beings) into doing their bidding, you can already guess what the ending is. Another story taking place in the gap years between Mistborn Era 2 and 3 and Stormlight 1 and 2, it is...

If Atlanta doesn't get a stop immediately, they're not going to have time to even counter-score for the tie.

The Texans gave up a second (and a 6th into a 7th) for Marvin Harrison? When even if he turns around he's only under contract for a season and a half? Woof.

Eh, the NFC is back to being the NFC West-Off, with the Bears hosting an outdoors mid-January game being the only real spoiler: No one in the East is a real contender. No one in the South isn't an embarrassment. The Vikings will get a playoff spot but don't have the offense to survive against...

Let me repeat about having a second on the clock.

Modern kicking is really skewing the importance of having _a_ second left.

Pre-internet, there were absolutely scenarios where you'd only be able to see your old team once on MNF, and read two articles about them in the print version of Sports Illustrated, per year depending on where you lived. But even now, while you can watch your old team, like Hoss said, you might...

Independent of my living in Milwaukee, I am so rooting for a Milwaukee / Cleveland World Series just to watch the coastals want to kill themselves being stuck in those two cities for a week.. No, this is not cope as we march to the inevitable Dodgers Three-peat.

I thought it was kind of sad when Jack started with the trivia as well a couple weeks ago, but I'll view it as practice for this. As fun as Mike's passive-aggressive editing against Rich may be, it did spoil that Mike didn't win.

Man of Tomorrow doesn't come out until July 9th (and is still being worked on). He'll likely be kept on* until / close to then, but I very much doubt we'll see approvals for any new projects until they decide to extend him or not. While Clayface comes out in two weeks, Season 2 of Creature...

Yes, which is why theaters do have some say in how many theaters / screens show a given movie, and flops lose all / nearly all of their screens quickly. From what I've heard, the distributor (Sony, Warner Bros, etc.) and the theater would agree to a minimum number of weeks those theaters will...

It's the 24GB part that matters: If you want a 32GB card for local AI, you now _have to_ buy the Enterprise-priced RTX Pro.

Yeah, other than throwing _maybe_ a 5*th round pick at him to see if his attitude improves, there's been no evidence he's worth having around. Arizona still will eat $11M in dead money, IIRC, so its not free for them and you'd expect more than the bare minimum 7th.

The Giants are going to win the NFC East, aren't they.

Eagles: We had an offensive lineman retire suddenly? Quick, trade another o-line player away! Bad olines aren't a problem anywhere!

I liked it enough, but I wouldn't consider it a return to form either. To summarize, it feels small - both in overall page count (like 80% of the already short-feeling No Life Forsaken), and scope: this is clearly simultaneous events and cut from No Life Forsaken, with Va'Shaik mentioned...
