I hope Nintendon't

Remember that tagline from the 90s? "She's does what Nintendon't"?!

I can't remember what they were doing, maybe allowing blood in Street Fighter 2 and Kortal Kombat but by MK2 Nintendo changed their mind

Looks amazing, like a whole new game with all new characters. The only DLC I've played was for Bloodborne, so I'm not familiar with FS's approach, but if Old Hunters is any indication, this is going to be so good!

He was not portrayed very well in THE LAST DANCE, and it was heavily narrated by MJ. He was to blame for breaking up the team, but it wasn't that simple given the contracts and aging team.

Kinda what's going on with the Warriors right now.

In the 90s, my cousin had a Super Wild Card, an awesome device that you put into the cartridge slot of your SNES that allowed it to play games off 3.5" floppy disks. Every time I go over to their apartment I would play all day long.

I would be onboard if I can kill Benny an infinite number of times

There were some Korg music creators on DS and 3DS.

The writeup on Section 31 is very good and was following along until you listed almost every couple on DS9 being in toxic relationships. Maybe you're confusing relationship conflicts with toxicity? Maybe I don't know what toxic means.

I'm pretty good at seeing different sides of an arguement, but you'll have to do a lot more convincing on Kira/Odo, Jadzia/Sorf, Sisko/Jennifer/Kassidy being in toxic relationships. These relationships work for me because they are trying to overcome cultural and professional challenges. One character might not budge on something but overall they try to work things out.

Harden and Westbrook...I guess that was the the only post-OKC combo left

I feel the same way. The writers do such a good job integrating ST lore that it just really displays their knowledge and respect for the universe.

Off the top of my head:

  • random references to made up Star Trek words and concepts, like Ponfarr and Chadeetch (I'm not looking these words up)
  • getting to revisit 1 off species. Everyone loves the metaphor aliens (TEMBA ARMS WIDE OPEN) so it's fun to bring them back and poke fun. It's basically the Airplane scene ("Excuse me miss, I speak jive.")
  • Characters are very aware of various ways to die as red shirt

It's a fun show

 

So I asked ChatGPT for a list of the best players. I ran it 3 times so see if its opinion would change. For the most part, the list remained the same, with KG and Dr. J making an appearance on the 3rd list. The order seemed really locked in, only a couple of players moved around. Hakeem moved into the top 10 kicking Kobe down on one list. The top 7 never moved.

The only one that I would move up would be Bill Russell, seeing as how he 11-peat’d with the Celtics.

  1. Michael Jordan
  2. LeBron James
  3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
  4. Magic Johnson
  5. Larry Bird
  6. Shaquille O'Neal
  7. Tim Duncan
  8. Kobe Bryant
  9. Wilt Chamberlain
  10. Bill Russell
  11. Hakeem Olajuwon
  12. Oscar Robertson
  13. Karl Malone
  14. Jerry West
  15. Moses Malone
  16. Dirk Nowitzki
  17. Charles Barkley
  18. Kevin Durant
  19. Stephen Curry
  20. Dwyane Wade
  21. John Stockton
  22. David Robinson
  23. Elgin Baylor
  24. Isiah Thomas
  25. Scottie Pippen
