For me it is opening credits sequence in Nier Automata, Shadowlord’s castle in Nier Replicant and AI reveal in MGS2. All these three games are masterclass in storytelling.
Running from Monster-Ock while the facility is exploding around you. That game was such a banger. And it’s short length is made up for by it’s replayability. Collecting all the comics and suits. Amazing.
Daily temperature records will tumble as sizzling early season heat from a summerlike heat dome sends thermometers skyrocketing into the triple digits in parts of California and the West this week....
I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!...
But if you quit then you can leave them a few clues as to why you’re leaving and how they might avoid losing more staff. That can help the people you left behind.
At I place I worked they had a few useful people leave in a short time span. All left amicably. They took feedback from the exit interviews on board, and now they are redoing a bunch of the procedures to try and improve the way the workplace functions.
Keeping more people from quitting is helping the company.
Just because I might be leaving doesn’t mean I want it keeping being a sucky workplace. Ideally I’d move on to something better for me, and people left behind might get an improvement as well.
It might be better not to buy a ticket at all. Finding out that you didn’t board a plane gives them more information about your whereabouts than not being able to determine if you got on a plane with fake ID under a different name.
The AI has made it out into the world, and the submarine has something that can stop it. The ai probably was recovered from the sub by the same people who went for the keys.
YouTube has a feature where it will remember where you were up to on a video if you stop watching before the end.
I used this feature to watch this video over several days. When I felt like I’d watched enough for one sitting, I stopped watching, then later I started watching again from where I left off.
I know the joke is that it sounds like they filmed “on location” on other planets, but “on location” is an industry term for filming away from the studio lot, not that they filmed at the specific location depicted in screen.
I think the prequels were fine. Not as bad as people made out, but still not a good as the original. The sequels were just bad and I think they’ll stay bad.
If Lucas did the sequels I don’t think they would’ve been good, but I would have preferred to see whatever they would have been than what Disney made.
I think it’s a bit of a stretch. The businesses reasoning was that the severe weight of the staff member would interfere with performing the job, claiming it was “a full house” and that it wouldn’t be possible to walk around properly in the venue. That can easily be formalised as an OH&S concern.
As long as they did it in a professional manner, I don’t think that’s promoting fatphobia, which is being claimed, even though I’m pretty sure obesity is not a protected class. The fact that part of the article tries to support the case by saying the film contains fat jokes shows there’s not a lot of weight to the case.
Maybe they could go for workplace bullying, but that won’t work for an isolated incident.
I feel that lore-wise, the doctor changing sex was a bigger test of suspension of disbelief. But they prepped for it by having the Master do it. The Master has previously spent time being a walking corpse, so that is a fairly straight line of baby steps to get there.
Once that’s been established, changing race is nothing. And arguably the doctor has shown a not insignificant amount of racial diversity already to prove it’s not impossible.
The show just sucks for a variety of other reasons.
All weight loss diet plans are just tricking you into eating less calories. Grapefruits don’t have magical weight loss powers, it’s just if you go on the grapefruit diet you can’t physically bring yourself to eat more than one or two, so you eat less than you normally do.

For me it is opening credits sequence in Nier Automata, Shadowlord’s castle in Nier Replicant and AI reveal in MGS2. All these three games are masterclass in storytelling.
