It can be overstated how monumental and impactful Biden canceling so much student loan debt is for the country. It's such a fucked up, predatory system that serves no one but greedy, useless corporations, as usual. It keeps millions enslaved for their lives.

Imagine the financial progress and boost for the economy we'd have with student loans fully canceled.

Of course, chucklefuck Republicans knee-jerk any attempts to reform this, since they must blindly oppose anything a Democrat does.

So the appeals court is basically saying if you crime hard enough, you can get a break, because the monetary amount of the crimes you need to pay on is so high.

Fuck this useless country. It's all but declaring the rich are above the law.

The only silver lining Trump has had for the nation is showing the limits and weaknesses of our system. Or, it would be a silver lining, if anyone was willing to fix our broken-ass system.

TopicHow are FE Three Houses and Engage?
CyborgSage00x0
03/22/24 6:26:22 PM

Hard to say, especially if you were kinda meh about Awakening. The series could a hard evolutionary turn from then on out, so any resembling FE7 or FE8 is long-since dead and not coming back.

They both have a similar "hub" mechanic that functions like X-Com (that series itself which functions a lot like FE) in between battles/missions, with Three Houses being the school/monastery, and Engage being it's own castle town thing. General agreement is TH has the much better story (with 3 different stories (well, technically 4) in one game that branch out, giving it good replayability), and good combat/mechanics, while Engage has a very generic story with few surprises, but the Engage battle mechanic puts a wildly different spin on the combat (and ditches the min-army mechanic thing from TH that no one liked).

I.e., both are really well liked for their own reasons, but TH is generally considered the stronger entry. Be warned, the hub mechanics are a pretty big element of the game, and they do tend to drag on (although you can ignore and skip past the stuff that shouldn't ignore).

I'm pretty sure every single AI platform is being bogged down with lawsuits at the moment, due to the fact that it needs to source copywrited material in order to learn and generate, so it will be interesting to see what happens when the dust settles. If some sort of royalty has to always be paid every time AI goes to generate something, then it goes a long way to crippling the supposed artist revolution of "now anyone can do it."

Personally I was really into the color symbolism. And how so much of the visual storytelling really worked perfectly.

Talking about other "wire-fu" movies, I definitely enjoyed it more than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers, which where the other two movies along those lines that came out around the same time.

But I've got them all (and a few others) in my DVD collection - I've got a foreign film section in general, but the Asian martial arts film section is about a dozen or so deep alone.
Same.

I'd say Hero>CTHD>HotFD for what it's worth. I'm like the only one that felt a little underwhelmed by Daggers, it seems. Then again, I also haven't seen it since it came out, despite owning it, so it may be time to take a view again.

My gf dragged me to see it in the theater when she was going through her artsy phase. She kind of hated it, but I loved it.
It definitely is easy to believe it's just another wire-fu movie, but the neat twists and turns of the story, and itself being a fictious version of real historical characters and events was cool.

According to Wikipedia, it is the 5th highest non-English film in North America. It was #4, but Godzilla Minus One surpassed it. Pretty damn impressive. Also, the film would likely never have come to NA if not for Quentin Tarantino getting involved in pushing it through.

RoS deserves more sympathy in that regard. It had to try and pick up the pieces, whereas what TLJ tried was a terrible idea to begin with.
This is true. It was obvious a mile away, but 3 different directors (2nded up being 2), wit no Kevin Feige type making sure there was cohesion or continuity between the films guaranteed a mess.

That said, RoS is still full of sins, the biggest being the Palpatine ass-pull. Just Saturday-morning cartoon levels of lazy and bad.

Mam, this looks like a mess.

The casting is wildly off. Blanchett is too old and doesn't have the energy to be Lilith (and the Siren tattoos are missing)

Kevin Hart, nuff said. It seems he's trying, but he's Kevin hart.

Jamie Lee is also way too old to be Tannis, even if she may have the kook factor.

Tiny's energy is way off and toned down. Plus she's supposed to be like, what, 13?

Why the fuck don't they just use Cl4ptr4p's actual VA? Bless Jack Black, but it's so jarring.

Kreig actually looks...fine, but my next problem is: why is he and Tiny even in this, but not Mordecai and Brick? Tiny ain't even an actual vault hunter, so I'm not sure why they dropped Mordy and Brick, especially due to the irony of they actually are still alive by the end of BL3.

This seems so bad. Not even giving it a chance.

I don't get this "precision" about weather issue at all.
It's more precise degree over degree, since there's less of a leap in 1F , compared to 1C. And humans are extremely sensitive to minute temperature variations (i.e., 72F definitely feels different than 73F), meaning F is a more accurate read out, since the variation between 1 degree in C is too large.

And yes, using decimals could solve this, but no one does, and it's clumbsy.

TC almost got it. Add Fahrenheit for weather temperatures being objectively better. The short scale ~0-100F, give or take, allows it to be more precise in a degree-to-degree basis. That, and a scale meant to measure water freezing and boiling is simply a poor way to measure weather temperatures humans care about - about 70% of the scale is enough to kill humans, and thus irrelevant. Fahrenheit ironically does the base 10 = easier to remember model of temperatures better than Cel for weather.
