Jesus dude, look up history of Canada and the US. There are plenty of historical accounts of trade networks and hubs from the Spanish, French, etc.

They had trading networks and hubs. The French fur traders exploited the existence of this heavily to get goods they needed, like pemmican

Another good point - the Black Plague was devastating on Europe, so there is plenty of evidence of a non-resistant population suffering heavy mortality rates to disease. 40-60% of the population died from it. This fucking smooth brain "hur dur diseases don't kill lots of people" is what...

It does make a disease potentially more lethal or impactful because the population was never exposed to it and therefore you don’t have a population descended from people who survived the disease in the past and therefore genetic predisposition to a bad disease outcome had not been weeded out...

Disease was the main factor in the conquest of the New World. It's quite feasible that colonization would never have been as rapid as it was in our history if that were not the case. That and existing political rivalries that fractured what could have been a unified front against European...

He used the wrong argument for Bobby. You have to speak in a language he understands Review bombing being toxic to the CM people, he wouldn't care. Review bombing driving people away from the game and in turn, less profits from the RMT shit, he would care.

She probably just wasn't captured. But ya, really solid finale. Last 3 episodes were my overall favorites. That teaser shot at the end of the last episode was pretty cool if you watched the Loki finale.

The 1602 episode that came out today was cool. Guess we find out what Supreme Strange is up to tomorrow

It’s always the Rani or Valeyard until it isn’t

Fansly has tried that already afaik

Episode 7 was decent - Hera and the ancient Shang Chi universe was fairly entertaining

It feels like half of the fans of Chronicles of Riddick love it because it is the closest thing they've had to a Warhammer 40k movie lol

The carry-on problem only exists because airlines started to charge for any checked baggage. As a result, people try to cram as much shit into the "free" carry-on bag and it eats up the limited space available to stow carry-on luggage. Yes, the people trying to game the system at the expense...

Disney+

Episode 6 suffered by trying to cram an entire hero origin story into less than 30 minutes. Conquistadors in New York I can kind of forgive since Nordic history was changed by Odin never going to there and dropping off the Tesseract there and maybe the Spanish decided to land in NE America for...

Episode 6 is out - the ending of 5 and the ending of 6 seems to be connecting to an larger scope finale.

There is also Onx - it's a lot of the old Ignite people on there.

I liked episode 5. I thought it would just be a straight up retelling of Winter Soldier, but I liked how they brought in the Red Room stuff. The scene with the robots reminded me of something you'd see in Fallout.

Episode made me think the writers were given a synopsis of the movie Labyrinth and then got confused I know they’re trying to make “mystery girl” again as a companion theme. I bet Ruby is the “mother” that drops off the baby to satisfy a timeloop. Her DNA test coming up with no matches for...

Ya, they releasing one a day. Episode 4 came out today

EP1 was best of the bunch so far. EP2 was a cool concept, but needed better writing and would have probably worked better with a grim end. EP3 was a throw away holiday episode. EP4 was basically Marvel Wacky Racers. Next episode will probably be Captain Carter vs. Steve Rogers who has been...

Ya, when I wrote that I immediately added movie because Lexx definitely wins the horny Sci-Fi award for all media

This was the real problem - college quickly transformed from "you should go to college to get a nice job in a field that needs a degree" to "you need to go to college because companies are starting to make a degree mandatory for any job". The companies didn't need it to be a degree with any...

Haven't tried a looter-shooter since Outriders, so might give this a go

Barbarella is the gold standard for horny sci-fi movies

Season 2 Episode 1 came out today. Was kind of cool - had a Bladerunner vibe to it. Looks like 1 episode comes out a day for this

A fine after he was locked up in Japanese prison/jail for months. I doubt he has a work visa or student visa, so I suspect they’ll make him leave the country after this is done

Hmm https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67782869

I forgot about that - the season 1 elements highlighted a more positive view on true belief in the message vs corrupt people cloaking themselves with “belief” as a means to enrich themselves. Like for example, the humble priest that just wants people to be good to eachother vs the televangelist...

Since when has that last bulletpoint ever been part of Castlevania? Dude is tipping his hand with that Culturally Japan and Christianity have had a very complicated relationship and that is usually reflected in the games and media from that country.

Bubbling is something mormons would frequently do as a "loophole" because the person isn't technically naked lol

It's normal coroner/medical examiner speak - they usually try to account for all major factors that they believe contributed to the death.

Given the concept of the character of Kang, it actually would be super easy to recast.

Guess there is only one solution then

BWL would honestly be scarier in terms of getting perma killed. You basically need to get ony cloaks on everyone to avoid dying on Nef (and that other boss if you happen to get caught in the flame AOE). And the 2nd boss has that ability which will basically death touch whoever gets the debuff.

Very true - although it is MC. I do wonder if they'll ever do BWL. There are a lot more "kill the raid" type of mechanics there, although I would be shocked if they all farm Ony long enough to get the cloaks

Well, that was a clean Onyxia kill

You know Gaben isn't playing when you get a special perma ban notification

Gonna assume at the very least
