TBH, I feel like the Marvel hype has mostly died off at this point. A few years ago, pop culture was all about it and you couldn't avoid hearing about every new movie coming out. Now, I couldn't even tell you what the current Marvel movies are and nobody I know is talking about them. The biggest super hero franchise now seems to be "The Boys", which is pretty much a deconstruction of the whole idea of superheroes.

No artist exists, it's AI generated.

I've spent a total of $5 on the game and FWIW, I think I got my money's worth. The game's development is severely mismanaged and I don't think it'll ever realize its vision, but I think it's worth checking it out even if it's just for looking at some of its technological achievements.

You get ten ships to fly for the free fly event.

So, who's the third party candidate that you think will defeat Trump?

That goes for both sides. If that agency leads you to provoke a crime and beat someone up for content, that's pretty fucked up.

I hope they'll improve the management side of things. Planet Coaster has great building tools, but without good economy and progression systems, I quickly lost interest in my parks.

Opportunity makes the thief. These people are intentionally trying to get people to commit a crime that might have never otherwise have happened, just so they can beat someone up and/or create content for their channels. That is morally wrong.

It’s the same as seeing a person rob an elderly person in the street, and kicking the shit out of them.

Not really, because it's not a random occurrence, but one they're actively trying to bait. It's more like dressing someone up as an elderly person with a clearly visible full wallet and having them walk laps through a dangerous neighborhood until someone tried to rob them.

Taken seriously, yes, but I think it's problematic painting this as the opinion of Arab Americans in general. Taking a look at their press releases, it's immediately clear that they're vocally against Joe Biden. Granted, that's probably a majority opinion among Arab-Americans for understandable reasons, but most Arab Americans who do support him, or Trump for that matter, will not be signed up with them. So I think this survey has an inherent bias and very likely paints a distorted picture.

surveyed to measure vote choice in the upcoming Presidential election amongst Arab American voters, and our allies.

What does "our allies" mean in this context? Who did they actually survey, a representative group of Arab Americans or just members and supporters of their particular organization? Because it sure sounds like the latter.

That much is a given. Nintendo never goes for top-performance (well, not since the 90s) and it wouldn't make sense for them either.
