True. Most of us are too paranoid or anti-social. (Including myself, to a fair degree.)

Likewise. Though judging from the Lemmy community for my province and it’s biggest city, maybe 3 people would show up.
A few assorted thoughts:
Overall a really great episode. We’re at the halfway point in the season and things are starting to pick up.

Jesus. Sorry about all the deleted replies. It looked like my reply was being posted as a top-level comment. Here’s what I was actually saying:
Sadly this seems completely realistic these days. Not with most mainstream media, of course, but the particular base Firecracker plays to eats that up.
That picture is forever burned into my mind when I think of Reddit.
I’d love to see one for Lemmy. I suspect it’d be largely the same except about 25% of us pasty nerds would be trans women, and there would be a lot of Linux merch on display.
Anyone pick up what the camera panned to in the scene where The Deep and Sage were making out? I couldn’t tell if it was a needle or something else.
I’m still not sure what she’s up to, but now I’m less convinced she’s planning to take down Vought from the inside, and beginning to think she’s trying to take it over for herself.
The battle request was great, but for me the ice rink scene topped it. That friggin’ song and the insanity that occurred during the chase sequence were great.
I somehow missed that but you’re right. That’s so in character for him to do after being disappointed in his son.
A few assorted thoughts:
You’re reminding me that I’ll have to prioritize watching Gen V asap. I think I’ll catch up on the current episodes of this season of The Boys and then jump over to that while I wait for ep 5 to drop next week.
Either way, you bring up some great points and seem to have a better grasp on the lore of the show than I do. As I said in my comment, I spent half the episode trying to remember all the in-progress plot points from last season, but it’s starting to come back to me.
Speaking of changed appearances… Erin Moriarty. I literally don’t think I’d be able to recognize her if comparing S01 to S04.
I’m all for people doing what they want with their own body, but that sort of plastic surgery just really makes me sad. I wonder how much of that is caused by filters and social media in general ruining people’s perceptions of what is normal.
Like, I understand if people want surgery to correct a significant disfigurement or for gender-reassignment. I’m sure there are also countless people out there with minor plastic surgery who still look great. It’s when you hate how much you look to the point where you start to make yourself look unnatural that I get bummed out. I hope if that’s really caused by some form of body dysmorphia that she’s able to find peace. If I’m wrong and that’s just genuinely the look for her, then I suppose I’m happy for her. Again, I stand by the fact that how she looks is her choice, I just can’t help but worry when someone changes their physical appearance so drastically.
I’ve spent most of this episode trying to remember what happened with the story this far as it’s been a while since I watched S03. With that being said, here are my loose thoughts (which are mostly questions):
Overall I think it’s a strong start to the new season and I look forward to seeing how it develops. I understand it’ll end after season 5, so I expect things to progressively get crazier leading up to that.
Given their infamous quality issues, robot guessing at building a car sounds about right.
Ooooooo. I haven’t listened to this in years, but it was a staple in my early 20s. I think I’ll be taking this album for a spin this week.
It seems like the consensus of this thread is that the name isn’t holding it back. That was my thinking going into it, but the article makes some very valid points such as the name (being related to a sexual and sometimes derogatory word) making it a non-starter in some organizations.
I have it installed on all our computers at work for basic image editing, but we’re a small business and never gave it much thought. I can absolutely see it being problematic in a school setting, however. More to the point, Adobe has ably demonstrated: get them hooked on your software in school and you’ll dominate the market. Imagine if kids had been learning GIMP instead of Photoshop all these years.
Anyway, I’ve got no dog in this fight. Just pointing out what I see as a valid point in the article.
Also, I like their original name possibility of IMP much better. The mascot could have been a cute little imp instead of … whatever it is now.
Good call mentioning pre-orders as well. I never did it back in the age of physical media, but there was at least a reason for it then. Now the only reason to do it is to get some bonus skins or other garbage with your buggy game.
I mean, let them try? I, for one, basically stopped buying new games (with the occasional exception for an indie dev). By the time the worst bugs are fixed, it’ll be on sale for 50% off anyway.
Good catch! My eyes kinda suck (I could use some V) so I didn’t even notice it. Now that you mention it, the first set he looked at were indeed empty. This is why I need episode discussions like this.
