I have a US copy of Tempo for the 32X? How did that happen? I was sure I had a Japanese copy.

I kinda love that users are reviewbombing Cory in the House for DS to the top of the Metacritic ratings.
It really highlights that review aggregators that rely on unflitered user reviews are pure farce.

I was intrigued by the claim that Leon would not "overshadow" Grace in RE9, but it was just paraphrased in a random article I saw. I have not been able to find a quote from Capcom stating this, and I don't want to comment until I do.

With that, Lego Technic set 42178 is complete. A satisfying build delayed by the usual horse shit.

I'm aware that Star Trek is replete with "return to status quo" solutions to even the biggest problems, but "they found more dilithium" is a little too convenient, so I checked Memory Alpha.
Now it makes sense, The Burn was a plot device to weaken the Federation. Gotcha.

Can someone remember to mail the long, long list of things Trump should be dogged by to the Democratic Party in just under three years? TIA
Trump should be dogged forever by these two words. In my experience, protectors protect their own kind, too.

I've just learned about "The Burn" in Star Trek canon. I guess everyone uses singularity drives, then? At least, to move between nodes of that myconid network thingy, right?

I hope Hobbs get the bag and didn't accept less money "just to be in WWE" like a mark.
I'm normally the "good for them" guy when people leave AEW for WWE and vice versa, but this one hurts me a little. I wanted to see more from Hobbs in AEW.
Powerhouse Hobbs' deal with AEW is up at midnight, and WWE sources believe he's headed there, FightfulSelect.com has learned.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Good to see, but I wonder if GW was worried that, with the incalculable amount of Warhammer fan content and the completely unscrupulous way corpos train GenAI, it was too much of a litigation risk to allow GenAI that is likely plagiarizing content into the creative process.

I am gladdened to learn that SIE and Bungie's careless plagiarism of art for Marathon has lead to the original artist, 4nt1r34l, receiving a settlement.
However, this does not mean that SIE and Bungie now guilt free. They must, of course, be continuously and diligently watchdogged.

Super Mario Bros. retailed for $29.95 during its nationwide launch 40 years ago.
A random inflation calculator I found online says that's the equivalent of $88.57 in today's money.
I can get behind modern video games costing $80-$90 if they present the complete value proposition SMB did in '86.
