Live look at the arena servers right about now

Hella good. Compelling in a way that makes you want to watch the next episode immediately but enough going on to think about for a week. Incredible performances across the board, obvious that a lot of thought been put into direction and cinematography too. Story is a mystery and slow burn but great

Witcher profession she was obviously going to do. Full on "I've done a trial of the grasses and have witcher eyes" Witcher wasn't what I expected. I hope Geralt or Yennefer is still kinda angry about her risking her life like that tbh. It's an opportunity for some good writing.

The year is 2025. Crime is out of control in America. The police are owned by private companies and corruption is everywhere. Only one man is trying to make a difference, his name...

*Stallone's or Arnie's Character name that is also the film title*

If Felix doesn't get in then after Greinke, Scherzer, Kershaw and Verlander get in there won't be another SP inducted on the writer's ballot for maybe decades. That's basically the argument.

A sandwich with a hole in the middle that lets the fillings fall out? Sounds like a daft idea to be honest mate.

Hey it works well enough for Hollywood

I'm going to quote the swashbuckler from my guild 10+ years ago. "Of course I play as a chick, if I'm gonna spend hours staring at an ass I'm gonna stare at a chick's ass".

He will outlive us all.

Timesplitters 2, vomposed by Graeme Norgate. Wild West, Nightclub, Chinese (which is in all the timesplitters games), Ufopia, Streets are all great. I've even seen a random youtuber in the wild using songs from it in their videos and immediately got hit with nostalgia.

Desperately awaiting a story from an ex-teammate who says "No I didn't room with Juan Soto, I roomed with Juan Soto's briefcase"

@bsky.app A setting to save your last used volume level on videos would be great. Having to change it every time I'm in a new tab or have my ears blown off gets old.

The "The nothing ever happens" meme guy's face pasted on to the body of the "The masculine urge to say we're back 20 minutes after saying it's over" body.

#southkorea Had me going there for a minute

Keir Starmer, leader of the free world?

Mr Jon posting just for fun? I am shocked. Shocked I say!

It depends. Paradox games have their own launcher but within that launcher is basically a mod manager, which is really nice to have built into the game as a default. Nothing wrong with that.

Why didn't Vader enter in A New Hope in a similar style to the end of Rogue One? Originally I had a sense that the while situation was below him and he was there because of incompetence from those below him. The Rogue One ending gave him a very different vibe, closer to a horror villain.

Feel weird not having a post on a new account so cat tax, her name is Amy

Oh well then that's obviously what you do! There might be one look of outrage, a tut or two but that's easily worth it.

I don't know anything about US education but we actually did start algebra at 11/12 but calculus is at 16/17. Seems fine? I was like this for a while in maths, olympiads at 14, sucked at calculus at 17.

I am sadly far too socially British to do the right thing. We are all getting delayed for the 3rd floorer.

Around my way it's the NIMBY pensioners who won't let us build flats on an old disused carpark because it's "historic".

The interest rate is the traditonal first and most obvious choice of a central bank to control inflation. Ignoring a lot of nuance, higher interest rate = lower inflation and vice versa. With rates already high and inflation spiralling something really bad is going on (no prizes for guessing what).

Unrealistic. The parent would use the money for a second home, luxury vehicles or some other thing for themselves. Then they would claim things were harder when they were young if the child asked for some help.

I'm going to have to go with "Bad use of polling" on this one.
