Gonna be one of those days.

Why Is she in a black panther film though.

They’ve been filming at MIT. Most likely because Black Panther kept their promising and brightening the future of children like at the ending. So Wakanda probably has a program there to help students out. Also given the fact Riri is a tech genius, it would make sense for Shuri to meet or know about her in the film if they are enriching lives.

So I imagine there’s some type of plot there. Maybe relating to how you can better the future by honoring those who have been lost.

So I'm playing Sonic Forces for the first time.

First impressions are... not that bad.

Writing is atrocious but I'm having fun with the modern Sonic and Rookie stages. Bearbo the bear is rocking his shades. The classic Sonic stages are butchered though. I don't know how they made two gameplay styles that feel so good and then make one that feels like its broken.

I'm enjoying 2/3 of the game basically.

YOOOOO

Forces enjoyer

I don't see that many people out there have calm and reasonable takes on it. Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I honestly don't think the game is all bad myself, it just struggles with getting its ideas across in a fleshed out way IMO. It's definitely not the Sonic Boom-tier disaster the Sonic community wants everyone to think it is.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the Rookie stages. Player Character was such a good idea and I hope they revisit it someday. The Wispons were a genuine joy to use!

Modern Sonic is okay for me. He feels a little...Off. Like, they took Colors and Generations Sonic, and made weird tweeks to him to make him feel less precise and a lot more slippery. It's weird.

Yeah they butchered Classic. It's Sonic 4 level bad with him.

I stand by SwSh and Three Houses are proof that a game can still be fun despite looking butt ugly in certain areas.

besides the black and smarts connection, could easily be something that leads to either members of the next generation of Avengers or Champions…or even the Illuminati

Honestly, I liked this episode even more than the second one.

I really like the approach they took with T'Challa in this episode, and his motivations were ones which I deeply felt connected with (wanting to explore the universe, helping out people anywhere I go, making new friendships and all that.

It also had some really funny situations, such as the twist they had with characters such as Thanos or Korath. It was nice to see those doing good guys stuff to put It in a way.

And yeah, this episode did also have a lot of emotional strength as It was one of Chadwick Boseman's last works. I still miss him, as I feel he was a great actor who was truly passionate about the stuff he worked on.

So yeah, so far this series is delivering as much as Falcon & The Winter Soldier did for me.

So I finally had the opportunity to watch the second episode of What If:

And I have to agree that I prefer this episode a lot more than the first. The storytelling of the episode was very well executed and compelling at the same time. Surprised that they gave Korath, Thanos and Nebula with hair a bit of a twist and it works.

But at least it is great to hear Chadwick's voice for the last time before he passed away.

I really hate school questions that say "Find five words you don't know in the text, find them in the dictionary and explain what they mean"
I get there's people that applies to, but like damn it sucks actually knowing what the words mean, as it means I basically have to look dumber than I am to answer the question, as teachers think it's impossible for students to know every word in the book.

I have my own gripes with Sw/Sh but honestly the graphics aren't really one of them.

The Wild Area wasn't the worst but the weird mix of environments and many open yet barren areas makes it feel more like an experimental, beta area than a finished product. That's a fair criticism.

Everywhere else in the game looked fine, optimization with field Pokemon aside.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask:

How did general Pokemon fandom react? Still demanding Game Freak be burned down?
Click to expand...
The general fandom seems pretty optimistic, from what I’ve seen.

Sure not everyone is happy. You’ll always have people looking to be angry, Internet personalities looking to profit off the discourse. And of course some people just aren’t into it, which is perfectly fine.

But for the most part, the fandom seems alright on BDSP. Though still iffy on the artstyle. And cautiously optimistic for Legends.

Like, why can't people like/dislike something without ****talking the other side? Why always the need to put others down just for having a different opinion? It's really just pathetic. I don't give a **** if you like or dislike something, as long as you remain civil about it.

Twitter was a mistake.
