Hell yes! What I love about it is the same thing. I love about the lower weight class matches in most sports.
There’s an emphasis on speed and technique over raw power, although that still does play a factor.

Honestly, one of the things I really love is that they give a fair amount of attention to women’s matches.
And not just as some sort of catfight fetish sideshow, but they’ve got one hell of a roster.

Shit, Saulnier did Murder Party?
I never noticed, and I never see it mentioned with the rest of his work.
Awesome.

Sadly, this is the unvarnished truth.
All American flags left in his office for more than a fortnight metamorphose until they are emblazoned with a swastika.

lol, now they're saying the Nazi flag is an "optical illusion"

Swastika” Flag In Office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) May Be An “optical illusion” and “easy to miss”

The weird story about an aide to Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it, has just gotten weirder.

Multiple sources tell Fox – including those investigating the issue – the flag in question is an American flag – but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. And here’s the strange part: the swastika is not obvious to the naked eye. But is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo.

One source described this as an “optical illusion.” Another said the swastika was “easy to miss.”

Fox has learned that dozens of Congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill early in the year. One office tells Fox that the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera.

It is not known what group brought the flags around. That is under investigation. The US Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. Fox is told that that the group brought the flags to multiple offices. At issues is if the group knew the swastika was embedded into the flag. It is also unclear if this was an effort to covertly deliver American flags to lawmakers with swastikas on them. Or, if this was an effort to deliberately embarrass offices by bringing them an American flag – which featured a swastika which wasn’t obvious to the naked eye.

I would argue it’s necessary for any media to progress. Even films that take big swings but miss, I love for trying something different. Even if they don’t succeed, somebody is going to watch that, get what they were trying to do, and come back in the next five years with ‘Everything, E,AAO.”

I call it “The Hollywood Problem”.
Games are a lot like movies; there may be a central creative vision for it, but that vision requires a lot of money and manpower to make it to your screen.
And so, people who aren’t artists wind up making decisions about what gets made based on profit, not merit.

Definitely. And it’s only going to get worse.

Fair. Did a little looking around myself, and apparently he distrusted unions despite being “pro labor”.
Basically, he felt that workers ought to get a fair shake because the government had their back, rather than them relying on a shady private organization.

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

They’re ACTUALLY DOING PHYSICAL MEDIA RELEASES OF LAST DRIVE-IN EPISODES?

I love that there’s literally an episode where one of them gets stuck on an away team with a bunch of gung-ho nuTrek protags and goes off on them about how he got into Starfleet for the weird space shit, not for gritty, serialized action.
Bradward, you truly are the best of us.

By stripping away a lot of the extra gadgets, money, identity drama, etc., Snyder has found the heart of Batman.
A man that never quits.
You throw him in the gutter, he’ll fight his way out and spend the next month cobbling together a bat-themed dumptruck to make you shit your pants.
