A good start! I appreciate how Hypatia seems to be a little more of the 'detective' here. A good bit of mystery to kick things off!

Twitter can't pick and choose any more or less than the baker shop. BOTH are equally obligated not to refuse service based on how you were born. Sighh.... special pleading. You once more created a category that does not exist. "Born with" is no different of a get out of jail free card tha...

That's fair, and thanks for pointing that out as it wasn't really what I meant to imply anyway. Poor usage of language on my part. Censoring, yes. People may not like it, but everyone is actually within their legal right to censor you when participating in their forum, this isn't a 'Twitter' issue....

Femina

Fwiw, one article suggesting there may be censorship afoot with Twitter in the past (and I can think of several phrases and ideas being completely censored on Twitter). https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-becomes-a-tool-of-government-censors-alex-berenson-twitter-facebook-ban-covid-misinformation-...

When you purchase a company for 20% of your net worth because you feel but hurt that your speech is being fact checked and then run it into the ground instantly so hard that even its most supportive userbase have morphed into what are essentially hilarious anarchists, then you're an idiot. You don'...

He's an idiot, he did a stupid thing for a stupid reason, and if we're lucky his stupidity will rid us of both Twitter AND him with the same stone. We aren't that lucky so it certainly wont, but we might damn well just get Twitter, and for now that'd be good enough. Richest man in the world. Hardly...

I'm a bit surprised to be seeing ANY of this 'maybe Elon's playing culture chess?' crap considering how horrifically this is impacting him financially. If his goal was just to destroy Twitter, then he could have gone about it more strategically than purchasing it well out of his means and then losin...

Who could have predicted that Twitter would be destroyed so rapidly by one man's mid-life crisis?

I guess if I was really thinking about it, a mid life crisis does sound like the sort of thing most capable of destroying an otherwise perfectly stable business platform...

Femina

Omg... it might be happening! You guys! It might actually die!

Keep your fingers crossed.

I'm calm dun worry about it. Just confused why AK keeps being brought up as the game to emulate all of a sudden since, as previously mentioned, it's launch was awful. Because the launch doesn't matter. 7 years is an eternity in the game industry. GK should have been a dramatic step up. I'm sure the...

Femina

I'm not attacking the game. Why are you so dead set on needing to argue. 7 years is a LONG time not to advance in tech all that much. Just settle down. I'm calm dun worry about it. Just confused why AK keeps being brought up as the game to emulate all of a sudden since, as previously mentioned, it'...

The thumbnail on that video is also clearly showing a side by side image of Arkham Knight vs Gotham Knights at the lowest possible settings. I really hate thumbnail science. Problem is GK won't allow the user to turn off raytracing to get better performance. I'm not squashing the game. I'm in agree...

So is that "The V Perils of Hipatia" or "The Y Perils of Hypatia?"

Yup, still a wise wiseass. Back from Europe.

God damn it!

Femina

I think you'll probably find we here have a pretty varied answer to this question as well. A good number of us would consider most non-powered crime fighters, spies, dramatically dressed video game characters etc. to fall under the SHiP banner. There's perhaps a few who would get nitpicky about it.....

Femina

Probably due to cross platform design though the new consoles are supposed to be more PC like in the way they handle multi threading. The PS2 had SPUs that could independently execute which allowed nifty things like instancing but that was not very translatable to other platforms. Could also be the...

Femina

Well, the thing is that performance is like that (around 40fps, with bad frame pacing) regardless of your computer, due to the nature of their engine and its limitations. People with expensive top of the line machines still have the same performance, with their CPUs and GPUs being used less than 30...

Femina

I just haven't really had any performance problems like... at all? I have all my settings maxed except ray tracing. If I turn ray tracing on it start's to hitch when I move around the city too fast so I leave it off.... and that's it, the ONLY option that isn't at maximum. The game has crashed twice...

Femina

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7o9VHxXTwg Good example of the complaint against GK The only way this comparison is totally valid is if we do it after Gotham Knights is seven years old. This isn't what Arkham Knight looked like on release. On release it was a buggy mess. Besides. Graphics today ar...

Femina

I don't know what all the review whining is about honestly... It's basically exactly the game that was advertised. Maybe it runs significantly worse on consoles? One issue is a comparison of the Arkham .Years and the graphics haven't improved much. People keep comparing it to Arkham Knight and goin...

No dog in this fight, but JSG vids do come up in my recommends, and he knows what's he talking about more than most, so I figured I'd place this here - people can feel free to disagree or agree as they like. Again, this is just a reference - I probably won't post in this thread again. https://www.y...

I'm talking about the dialogue, there's a lot of great stuff in there but I don't think the dialogue is necessarily it. And even the bits that are great are heavily diluted by the musical numbers, which it turns out don't work so well in book form. idk Dogfish... most of the songs in the films were...

Femina

This whole "This is bad! This is so bad! Grr!" attitude has one of those fucked up culture war deals doesn't it, has to be. You should probably add some spoiler tags to some bits of your post here. It's pretty spoilerific for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. And yes it's entirely a culture ...

this series generally only refers to the book Rings Of Power, everything is incompatible, they add characters that Tolkien did not create in general, so this series gets a 1/10 rating from me In my opinion, Amazon has completely destroyed the Rings Of Power brand, this series gets a 1/10 rating Ama...

In my opinion, Amazon has completely destroyed the Rings Of Power brand, this series gets a 1/10 rating, this show is a travesty of the Rings OF Power book, how these Amazon mobs could destroy it like that Did you seriously post this exact same thing in TWO topic threads? There is no 'Rings of Powe...

In my opinion, Amazon has completely destroyed the Rings Of Power brand, this series gets a 1/10 rating Amazon didn't do that, idiots and people spamming the 'downvote' button cause its popular to do so are the culprit. As someone whose WATCHED the show. It's definitively not a 1/10 show and anyone...

Ron DeSantis may be the worst thing to ever happen to gay people in the last twenty years (I put in the qualifier because some really horrific shit has happened to gays), but he has pumped more money into the Magic Kingdom than any tax loop-hole ever could…. The Little Mermaid will be another smash...

The irony of whining about a political slant in somebodies post on a threat that includes a youtube video from 'Midnight's Edge' as part of the originating posts thesis statement is pretty funny to me. This thing was built on politics from the first rung.

I just can't be bothered to care about Andor? :/ even with the mostly positive reception I find myself with no drive whatsoever to watch it. For starters. I really don't like Rogue One, thought it was pretty basic, not really a good star wars movie, not really a good war movie with lackluster charac...

Today was by far my favourite episode yet. Darna has finally become a proper superheroine and showcased her strengths against a group of criminals in what was not a bad action sequence at all. Reminded me of a lower budget No Man's Land. If we want to see peril they first have to show us how easy s...

Femina

they plan like five seasons or something. Yeah this is just the start.

Femina

She's literally an amnesiac super soldier character for the first 2/3's of the film. My strong suspicion is that the direction was 'be an amnesiac super soldier in this scene' and there's a strong history of films about emotionless super soldiers to draw from in the action catalog PARTICULARLY the ...

To be fair... I've never called us a Grand Enlightened age? We aren't. I don't argue there aren't double standards either. There are. Both ways. I get it, you're not only talking to just ME on the site... but I promise you, when you ARE talking to me, you're not talking to someone who thinks we've g...

Me, I want more heroine movies because playing it safe will erode over time and spin offs and copycats will crop up from the wider ecosystem But that hasn't happened. If you look at movies from the 70s and the 80-s compared to today the standards have become MORE prudish, not less. Oh but there is ...

Femina

There's legit nothing wrong with her power level AT ALL. The plot had a vague idea it was going for and it just didn't pull it off well. The point of the climax wasn't 'overcome the seemingly invincible foe' sure... but it doesn't have to be. The 'climax' of the film was Carol standing up. That's i...

It is odd the show is at its 5th episode and has not gotten into an overall plot. Usually the Marvel shows are 9 or so episodes with a running plot. This is just week to week procedural stuff. Do they ever explain how Titania is so strong? Is she getting blood transfusions from Abomination and that...

I didn't do any "research". I merely stated the anouncement date, and wondered if that was the confusion in the guy's claim. If what Critical Drinker said was flat-out wrong, then it's wrong. Fair enough. I'm fine to admit it. It's no big deal, nor the end of the world. The Critical Drink...

Femina

The point of the climax wasn't 'overcome the seemingly invincible foe' sure... but it doesn't have to be. I disagree. Humans have not fundamentally changed and neither has the concepts of story telling. Sure you could have a story of her "standing up" but is that interesting? No. It could...

I mean we're all guil...

Femina

I do not disagree that quite a few storylines can be made interesting if done well (a big caveat though), but the originality of superheroes matters. Agree to disagree on that point. As for the Supergirl point, I don't know if that matters in the discussion. The character had a movie in 1984, has b...

Lets not forget that WW1 was actually pretty good, involved essentially an 'invincible' Diana (at least in comparison to whom she was fighting) and people still consider it one of, if not the best, DCEU film right? So Captain Marvel being incredibly powerful isn't itself a problem. I partially agre...

I'm not hugely familiar with CM, so forgive my ignorance but what is her weakness? I assume she has one The most oft utilized in the comics actually does tend to be some form of power drain. Her powers work 'something' like a battery. She's charged with an unimaginable amount of energy, hitting her...

Femina

Four episodes in and I'm consistently either at an 'above average' level of enjoyment to occasional bouts of full on absorbed in the show. It's GOOD. It's not like the BEST EVER television... but it's not mediocre either. It's GOOD, and more importantly it's getting BETTER with each episode.

Femina

Yeah honestly... this whole thing where Disney is remaking EVERY animated film ever in live action is ITSELF something of a tedious trend I think. I'd rather the effort go to NEW animated shit. P.S. - Also 4 episodes in and I can say Rings of Power is actually GOOD...... so the crybaby bitching abou...

I also posted the source of the direct twitter thread he quoted. By all means ignore the video if that's how you roll.

Femina

And now there's a perfect excuse for any salon-racists to bitch and moan whenever they see a person of colour, or a gay person, or a trans person in anything. And that's what I meant about poisoning the well. This tactic does not help any of these groups. Its done out of corporate greed, nothing mo...
