- Comment on Does anyone play Final Fantasy XIV? 1 day ago:
I don’t play MMOs anymore (nothing can satisfy me like City of Heroes used to), but just wanted to chime in to say I love your vintage anime character names.

- Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s really all just cost savings. On their overpriced “luxury” cars
- Comment on Anon likes trains 2 weeks ago:
Amtrak is not cheaper, but trains in other countries are. Because Amtrak, specifically, sucks.
- Comment on The Most Popular Window Air Conditioner Has Disappeared from Store Shelves [Aftermath] 4 weeks ago:
Good point
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 4 weeks ago:
I understood their point. My point is that it was a one line throwaway gag on The Simpsons. Not necessarily a commentary on real world police hiring practices so much as a joke about both the police in that show and Homer.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 4 weeks ago:
Considering how dumb the police chief is on that show, I think it was an intentional joke
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)’ Debuts in The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 4 weeks ago:
It’s the debut of the re-recorded version. The re-recording of the album that it’s from hasn’t been released yet.
Now that said, I’m personally a bit upset that I know this. People like to describe her as being eclectic and versatile, but I find her to simply be the most bland, generic pop star of all time.

Seems like you can drill a hole in the bottom to make it drain more effectively and reduce the chance of mold buildup
- Comment on Controller for ShieldTV and AppleTV 5 weeks ago:
8Bitdo is good. I have the Pro 2 and it’s quite nice.
That said my current favorite controller is my RetroFighters BattlerGC Pro

- Comment on Pixar’s ‘Elio’ Overhauled: Rewrites, Director Swap, and a $300M Budget 1 month ago:
Inside Out was great. The sequel was just “more but less original”
- Comment on Star Wars Shows the Future of AI Special Effects and It Sucks [404 Media] 1 month ago:
Yeah, with old stuff we just don’t remember the crap, so only the gold sticks around.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 1 month ago:
For real. Digital Choose Your Own Adventure type books are fun if that’s what you’re trying to buy, but Doom is about gameplay
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 1 month ago:
There are certain stories where a good amount of the first-time enjoyment is trying to guess the outcome/twist, like murder mysteries. IMO it really depends on the story structure.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 1 month ago:
I mean, maybe. Doom 3 was pretty plot-driven too, but yeah. I guess my point is that the series is really all about fun gameplay.
- Comment on Some retailers have broken Doom: The Dark Ages' street date, and huge spoilers are already out there [Eurogamer] 1 month ago:
Oh no, not spoilers for the plot of Doom. Now nobody will want to play it /s

Greedo didn’t shoot at all

Return of The Jedi takes place 4 years after the end of A New Hope, but I agree with your overall point.
- Comment on What’s your favorite “flop” of all time? 2 months ago:
Shocked nobody mentioned The Shawshank Redemption yet. Box office flop, they had to re-release it back to theaters after it got nominated for 7 Oscars and it only really took off with home video.
- Comment on With 5,700 Movie Screens Shut Down and the Box Office in a Slump, Theaters Are Still Waiting for a Post-Pandemic Comeback 3 months ago:
A whole generation of kids missed out on learning movie theater etiquette
- Comment on An extremely biased review of The Beekeeper (2024) 3 months ago:
I liked this movie a lot. Yeah, it’s kinda silly in its concept, but the execution of it was deeply satisfying.
- Comment on Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini | TechCrunch 3 months ago:
I just tried those questions with Gemini on my phone. It got them all right. For the directions one it gave me a Google Maps link with the route dialed in in public transit mode

I’m gonna be that guy:
inciteful
insightful is the right word here. As in “full of insight”.
Incite is pronounced the same but it refers to instigating or provoking, e.g. “incite a riot”, so something that’s insightful could also be inciteful if you’re inferring something embarrassing about someone to try to start a fight
