  But the point is there’s a reason that happened this way. The answer is Yahoo was a news site and had ads, and so did most others or they performed worse. Google worked and had nothing else on the homepage. Using Google as a verb is the result of that.

  From memory yes. I can’t find the image, but the discussion of dinosaurs getting lifted by tornados can be seen seriously (with finger quotes) asked “to scientists” on multiple forums (Facebook, WordPress sites, quora…) from 10 to 12 years ago, so the joke was making the rounds.

  I do see the “less than 6 months old” resurgence of that image, extended with extra shit on the side that was clearly added much more recently,so that may be why you’re seeing it as slop, I’m guessing someone revived it with that slop.

  I don’t know what other slop OP may have posted but I’m pretty sure this particular image existed before AI. Slow down and check what YOU do.

  But it does make sense, even if you don’t know it. It’s weird to get hung up on something that’s clearly just your lack of knowledge. Why would you assume that it’s everyone else who’s wrong?

  Don’t worry about it, the countries splitting off the UK will rejoin the EU. You know, since they’re leaving because the UK broke out of the EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other (non-American?) superhero movie franchises besides Marvel and DC?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Japan has a variety of superhero adjacent series, starting with tokusatsu that have been going on for decades like Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Super Sentai, then you have manga from the entire genre of magical girls to unique series like One Punch Man or My Hero Academia. Most of those have a very clear targeting aimed at children, but many can still be enjoyed if you can look past the goofy designs. Most of it is purely entertainment with some good themes, so you might realize that US comic books are far more politically engaged against the oppression of minorities (X-Men, Black Panther…)

  CIA/FBI that

  I can’t think of which mainstream comic book from Marvel pushes FBI / CIA, they mostly come up with their own fictional equivalents (SHIELD, recently Damage Control which is going full ICE in the latest Spider-Man movie), DC might have a bit of it because they’re more “grounded” but I still can’t think of what series actually uses them.

  Rebirth is almost 150GB. In Revelation, they’re cutting the Mythril Mines and some places like the Gongaga reactor that you wouldn’t return to at this point of the game, and they’re adding the Northern Crater, Wutai, Mideel, Rocket Town (remade as a space center), and Midgar is back. They’re not adding full underwater exploration, but there are underwater events.

  I don’t know how this game can be under 250GB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was Castle Town, there’s also the Temple of Time entrance, there’s not that many maps where the OG just had a literal JPG flat background. And we saw Castle Town in the demo, it’s still a 1:1 map with the exact same fountain square, the same people, the same shops, and the same back alley, not a single change. Everything they showed had the exact same flat ground, flat walls, square rooms - only the Gerudo Hideout has ONE extra pillar stump that appears to go up to the cell you escape out of with the hookshot. Only Hyrule Field seems to have more variety and UE5 look in the hills and river banks and apparently a spot where the river kind of becomes a mini swamp area with Tektites (not sure which map that shot was in the trailer, could be the drained Lake Hylia)

  It’s looking like the maps will be 1:1 down to the pixel, only filled up with space in the area past Castle Town walking up the guard trail to the castle. Except Kakariko where they apparently flipped the Skulltula house and the construction spot with the cuccoo coop in the back, for some weird reason?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No dawg, you did that because the hardware required a load screen there.

  Have you heard of Breath of the Wild? The hardware does not require a loading screen there. There is a load screen because they separated the maps, so they do have to load the new assets between each screen transition, but splitting the map is the choice they made. They didn’t have to split the map, they could have made one big open world-style map (except for the dungeons) and they chose not to, that’s what they’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Saria, Malon, the Kokiri shop kid, look decent. Young Link looks like a doll face with shimmering eyes and rosy blush cheeks and glossy skin, young Zelda has super weird eyes and nose proportions, but the other kids look a lot better with skin tones a lot flatter and less random shading, Saria’s and Malon’s eyes are much less jarring than Zelda. In the shot with Saria and Link facing each other at the beginning of Miyamoto’s play demo, Link’s face profile is glimmering from the lighting, and Saria’s face is normal in the same lighting, they’re clearly not from the same art / shading style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC devs faced “diametrically opposed” feedback from players in the West and Japan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The term friction in gaming is a good thing, it’s basically engagement, keeping you awake while going from point A to B, a challenge, a puzzle, making you think or act / react, test of skills. Seeing it as inconvenience just shows the disconnect between what the dev wants you to do and what gameplay loop makes you happy.

  If you think that a particular thing matters a lot, and other people think that thing doesn’t matter at all, then clearly they’re nihilistic degenerates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Random goofy faces where the person just does the same face everywhere is terrible, but if it’s a channel I know is serious about what they do (not necessarily serious as in never make a funny), I can understand that putting on an appropriate face for the content does send an easily understood message about what kind of video it is just by scrolling quickly. It’s not a bad thing to tell if it’s going to be a complaint video or a happy news video and the likes. Of course, the face value drops pretty quickly if it’s a random channel I’ve never seen, because I don’t know how relevant it really is and if that random person’s alleged feelings will inform what I can expect to feel in that video, or if it’s just random engagement bait that I don’t resonate with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In Comics and the MCU what is an "Incursion"? Is it where one reality moves into another or another earth destroys another earth? If so who or what has the power to move realities or earths?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In the MCU, Loki came first, and the Marvel heads were hinting early on when Spider-Man followed that none of the events of the other movies would have happened without the events of Loki first, and / or maybe that Spider-Man just gave the final push after Loki - but none of the characters in either movies are aware of who broke it first (except Loki). But then, that was when they were making plans for Kang, and throwing in Ant-Man that was also intended to suggest that the quantum verse was common to all universes, and quantum travel was going to play a part in the incursions (pushing the theory that they all played a little part in breaking the walls), but then they gave up on that, and that’s why the loss of some context made it weird. We don’t know yet how Doomsday and Secret Wars intend to fix that mess, retcon it entirely, or just… handwave it away - but they’ll probably pull a random explanation. So far, it’s looking like Doom is angry at Steve for breaking the timelines just to have a child, so maybe he’ll blame the careless time travel that the Ancient One warned Banner about.

  It cuts to a different scene when he hits the ground. I thought it was someone cracking an egg to eat, thus the joke, but I just checked and it’s someone dropping an effervescent tablet in a glass. Close enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be a punk rocker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You also got the Superman summary wrong because Hawkgirl does drop the guy from the sky at the end and it’s made very clear that no one catches him. He dies. Superman doesn’t drop-and-catch him, just pins him to a cactus. That doesn’t stop him, which is why Hawkgirl later flies in, points out she’s not Superman when the guy groats that she won’t do shit to him, and then she cracks his egg.

  They announced Mega Man Dual Override for next year back at the game award event before new year, yeah. I don’t think we know why they didn’t name it Mega Man 12, considering that from what little they showed, it’s directly in line with the latest entries of the main series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Japan 🌸⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know they’re the only axis power that still openly celebrates their WWII generals, yeah?

  Okay so this one is ultra cultural. They still openly “celebrate” generals who tried to overthrow the imperial family then cursed the capital after their death to be hit by a plague, natural disasters, and famine, over a thousand years ago. With people from the imperial family dying from it. There’s several people like that who literally have an active cult today, to alleviate their anger. It’s not about being happy with what they did, it’s about appeasing everyone who wielded power and caused fear even after their death, because they have a culture of vengeful ghosts and Chinese Buddhism gave them the idea that people with power in the “real world” court still maintained the same power in the court of the underworld and could cause natural disasters and plagues. That said, I don’t know how many of those cults are still observed by the Prime Minister.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Japan 🌸⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if the Japanese text says “if you can read this, you’re welcome”, it does suggest that English or Chinese people who speak and read Japanese are welcome. It’s a real weird thing to pull, like they think they’re being cute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before Wolverine got his adamantium body, could he grow back his bone claws do to his healing factor? Or is it just for skin muscile and organs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the sense that originally, the writers just threw a guy with claws on his gloves against the Hulk, and people liked it so Marvel said make more of this guy, but pretty quickly the writers decided that they didn’t want to say anyone could pick up the gloves and be Wolverine, so they decided that the claws were part of him and not the gkloves. And the Weapon X plot came around with the adamantium. I don’t know if any writer actually said that Wolverine didn’t have claws at all before the adamantium skeleton? It’s just that Marvel kept adding details just as new readers kept asking questions about how it works, and then Marvel suggested that Wolverine’s healing factor might mean he was actually very old, and then they said well what did he do before the adamantium skeleton, and bam, there’s the bone claws. It’s not even a retcon as long as no one said “no claw before the metal bones” before, that’s just how writing goes over decades most of the time, new things get piled on.
