No. He deleted all references to the current US administration, their associates, and statements they made about the deal, of which they have oversight. Just factual statements about reality. Apparently no politics means no reference to government or government officials, at all, even if it has direct bearing on the subject at hand.

To be an exploit or a gross abuse of a bug doesn't it have to actually outperform stuff? I thought changeling brought kheldians up to the level where they were just marginally worse than the top performing builds.

I like to live my life and embrace the diversity of thought by misrepresenting strangers on X talking about what their friends said about something. Yolo!

The stakes have never been higher lol.

So an article based on a post on X, that is itself responding to someone else's post on X. Original post: several people had nothing but good things to say about it. Reaction post: Was not great but not a bad film according to people I talked to. Article title: Supergirl Test Screening Bombs. FFS.

This thread, like all of the other movie threads, is just about the film. Not the trailer specifically. There is ample evidence--most of the recent movie threads in fact--of people trashing a trailer, ruminating why the film will be bad, publicly discussing why they won't see a film or they will wait for streaming or whatever. And then a fair number of those film are actually good. So this repetitive activity of crapping on trailers has an established dismal track record.

The irony of accusing me of trying to shut down the conversation while you're pointing to the door. If people want to share their disapproval of a film they haven't seen based off of a trailer-fine. Whatever floats your boat. But maybe don't get mad if people don't agree with you. If you're that sick of it, sounds like you're getting a lot of disagreement.

The issue is that he said it looked like a typical James Gunn movie and that if you've seen one you've seen them all. But it's not a James Gunn movie, so that's a non sequitur. Capiche? Heaven forbid somebody actually see a movie before drawing conclusions.

Superman and Fantastic Four were solid, enjoyable films. Go back and read the discussions on the boards, the parts that weren't modded out, and you'll see then being ripped apart based on trailers, promo materials etc. I think it has less to do with the nature of nerd fandoms and more to do with the influence of social media grifters whose business model is to drive bitterness and controversy over films that no one is compelled to go see.

Also: Lol? You spelled out why you thought it was a bad thing in the earlier post. Again, Gunn is the producer, not the director. So unless you think that a director is just a puppet for the producer, the assumption should not be that this will just be a typical James Gunn movie. Despite superficial similarities people are fixating on from trailers.

Yes, but you posted a bunch of stuff talking about James Gunn and his movies. The inconvenient truth is that he didn't direct this. Maybe it will be like all of his films, maybe it won't.

Or it's just a grift where key players are looking to line their pockets or achieve certain goals and they couldn't care less if the rest burns down.

Hades and Hades 2 are amazingly well crafted games that get better the more you replay them. There are so many things to do and try that you almost never feel that you've wasted your time, even if you don't succeed on a given run.

An analogy would be a city where everyone leaves their doors unlocked. Thieves can just walk in and take things. That has been the situation with scraping. Now that same city suddenly starts locking the doors. That doesn't stop thieving, but it raises the level of effort that thieves have to commit to in order to do the theft. That makes a difference and it also helps other types of initiatives have meaningful impact.

I don't know what you mean by this. Digital drawing, painting, sculpting etc. is generally done via some input device like a wacom tablet. You do not command something like Photoshop or procreate to create for you, unless there is some AI process involved. Works created by hand are your copyrighted creations, unless you did them as part of employment. Whether or not they are printed doesn't matter. Works created by AI are not subject to copyright as they are not considered to have a human author.
