Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Beadle]

Let's see what this Falcon + WS is like.

I was disappointed a bunch by where WandaVision ended up going although I still liked it well enough overall. With this one though my expectations are at a low so I shouldn't be disappointed I hope.

I refer the learned member to my previous post on the matter.

I think after watching it I feel, nothing much.

I know even less about any Captain America content than the very tangential stuff I knew about Wanda so things that should be bigger probably are passing me by.

The quieter stuff works more for me than the big action scenes like with Wandavision but that stuff also feels uneven in terms of dialogue, character motivations.

spoilers:

Cool to see Batroc again though. Also something about this is reminding me of The Boys although I didn't see season 2.

The Boys Season 2 was really fun. Better than season 1 for my money, they really stepped up their game a lot and went in some interesting directions.

And both are better than the comics.

Then again, I would class being set on fire as a better experience than reading The Boys the comic so maybe I'm not the best metric of objective quality here.

It's funny that I'm more accustomed to DevilArtemis' portrayal and voicework for Cell than TFS's now.

They laughed, they cried, they killed monsters: How friendships thrived in video games during the pandemic

For someone who is hours away from his family, living alone on a college campus without in-person classes, and who infrequently sees a friend in the flesh, Hugh-Jay Yu has an impressively active social life.

Every night between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m., the 19-year old college sophomore in Evanston, Ill., hangs out with a group of friends on the chat and audio app Discord. There are 130 people in the group total, but usually around six to eight are logged in at any given time. Using a combination of audio channels and text chats, they play video games, have movie nights, share inside jokes, vent and laugh. The crew, which grew from people Yu met in college and others he knew in high school, now spans time zones and friend groups. He credits the games they play, from fighting in Super Smash Bros. to showing off geography knowledge in “GeoGuessr,” with helping everyone bond.

“This phenomenon of my friends meeting my other friends and becoming this close wouldn’t have happened, but for the thing ruining the rest of my life,” said Yu.

People who played more video games online also reported higher levels of stress, though Pennington said they didn’t specify what games were being played or if they were doing it in combination with other communication tools.

Video games have long been social, even when it was just people playing side-by-side on the same sofa. A 2017 Washington Post-University of Massachusetts Lowell poll found that while 80 percent of people said they played video games purely for entertainment and fun, more than half said it was a way of enjoying time with their friends. The addition of apps like Discord, which started as a place for gamers to gather and communicate better while playing, makes socializing even easier.

it's stuff like this that makes me happy to be alive.

and how one of my friends could have such hatred for max makes me feel sad inside.
