That's already been a thing. It's well documented that super hero movies' villains all usually start as people who just want to change the status quo, but then do one ultra violent thing to make destroying them justified.

Even Thanos had a very real point, they just made him a monster by acting on it violently. But they never went back to "uh, but he did have a point, his world did literally die because they exhausted the resources". But how could you ever side with him when he violently acted on it, so his point must be invalid.

Repeat ad nauseum for most other superhero movies.

I think I have...

I think that's why it becomes so noticeable - it's usually so calm and chill that when someone comes in to stir the pot it's so obvious

Battlefield has always had a cheating and skill issue. Battlefield 1 got the closest to being okay, I'd get in, have some fun, get heads hotter a few times and drop.

5 though was horrible. I'd have legit cheaters who could shoot me through mountains and people way higher skill than me. It wasn't a place where I could just go and have some fun.

So yeah, I don't see me picking up a new one

Thank you! After Admiral Patrick left I felt like there was a void here, introducing Captain Swift!

Did someone say AI?

Honestly out of all of the uses of AI... I'm okay with this one.

I think you might have missed the joke

That's true in most places, but until now it's been relatively quiet I'm here on the fediverse

Interesting, I haven't noticed this but I'll keep an eye out on accounts

Unsure personally, but I'm keeping an eye on it personally

Rider is the best C# IDE IMO, works on linux, mac, and of course Windows. Very happy it's now free!

Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Original Broadway Poster:

Movie poster:

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.

This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually. Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night AND …. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD will all be available for the first time ever only at @Target starting Nov 29th. 🤍
