    i could only play squadrons for a couple hours until i got a headache because it only allowed a cockpit view. its frustrating bc you have to depend on that atari looking radar to track down enemies around you lol. when i was playing gamecube version though, only time i used it was final mission escaping death star after blowing up the core. its good for needing fast reaction right in front of you but not so much on overall battles.

    wowowowow...customers with kids who are using ebt/food stamps today have total balance of $3,000 ~ $5,000. one of them told me that theyll get that amount EVERY MONTH until december. i have no words..this is so irresponsible. is this part of ridiculous $300 per kids/month crap or are there more money coming in for them at the end of the year? and here we are, no 4th stimulus for hard working individuals paying taxes so everyone else can enjoy free money lol. america is so backward now damn

    ^ texas lifted mask mandate back in march but majority of businesses still have mask requirement in place so yeah it sucks. but now texas governor is going furthur and banning mask mandate from public places like schools and other govt owned properties starting june but says businesses are still allowed to impose mask requirement if they wanted to. only place i know that removed it completely is walmart but i hardly ever go there. but my bank is still drive through only but other banks are back to normal so wth
    and i didnt think asking around about vaccines could be offensive bc we all have been doing that since it came out lol. mostly they ask me first but there are lot of mixed reactions. most of them are skeptical and wont take it. had a pepsi delivery guy complaining to me last week that his company is offering him and his family 3 shots bc their reasoning is 3 shots are better than 2 and says theres no way in hell they are going to make him their guinea pig. i mean no shit thats flat out dangerous. what are they thinking O_o on the other hand yesterday this one guy was super excited that he got his very first shot and says its gonna help prevent cancer and im like okaaaay good for you..lol.

    i played it as a background noise while i was doing laundry and playing video games. it didnt even have a series description so i had no idea what was going on  whenever i hear a gunshot i turned around to look and it seemed like they were executing young recruitments in uniform. i also saw a dragon flying by so my guess is this is like reign of fire movie? ill give another episode a try 😛

    I was excited yesterday. I was going to finally get to go out and not have to wear a mask... only to find every store still requiring one. Wtf. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. I called and asked if masks are still required and they are. So CDC and NY says we don't need a mask anymore if we are vaccinated and regardless of the unvaccinated out there still spreading it the vaccinated are safe from it. Sure we could still get it but it'll be mostly asymptomatic symptoms and we won't be spreading it, which is why we'd be safe. So now I want to go around maskless, but everyone is either still afraid and will still wear masks even if they are vaccinated or stores will keep their own mask mandates in effect. Stores that still require masks now make me think their staff is not vaccinated. Because if they were vaccinated they shouldn't be having an issue now.
    And people don't want to be asked if they are vaccinated or to show proof of vaccination because that is offensive and they'll go full Karen on you for invading their privacy about it, because everyone is offended by everything. 😑 🙄
    I say let everyone be maskless now. The vaccines are supposed to keep us safe so let that be it. Everyone else without a vaccine will be rolling the dice on getting sick or not. It's up to them.

    Pretty much everything you stated is exactly why Deadpool (2016) is my favorite comic book movie, but not the best comic book movie I've seen. I took that movie as a chance to just stick to R Rated movies. Because all I wanted was for Deadpool to look like Deadpool. And to me Deadpool is this Red & Black ninja looking mercenary who belongs in R Rated movies. I could care less if Deadpool is pansexual or was made black just so they could say he's the deranged cousin of Sam Wilson or was Brie Larson just so they could make a Lady Deadpool movie.
    Woke R Rated movies probably still happen. But that's because Hollywood has yet to realize appealing to minorities guaranties a minor crowd. Sure it sucks for the people who want to be represented by major movies & whatnot. But if they knew where to look for entertainment they can identify with online without pushing their identities onto others they might find out its more fun to be a part of a niche crowd instead of a hivemind.

    I still don't care much for the quartering but I still watch a video here and there, lol. and I still don't get why so many male commenters on his videos have such a hate for Brie Larson that they have to bring her up so often. They have a hate on for her so bad it keep spawning more an more hate articles about her on so many other websites. lmao.
    I didn't mind the wokeness when it first started years ago. Props to minorities for getting their voices heard, props to women for getting equal pay, down with sexual abuse in the work place, props to lgbt people for bringing light to the hardships they've had to endure, etc. But since this movement all began it twisted itself into this horrible political correctness offshoot party of the democrats like how the republican party has offshoots like the tea party and trump loyalist party. The democrats have other offshots like the green party, but thats nothing compared to this horrible "woke/PC/cancel culture/pander to the minority party" that has invaded everywhere, especially hollywood. Don't get me wrong, there is cancel culture/karens in the republican party as well, but the bulk is democrats. Everyone has a right to their opinion, unless that opinion does not match up with the "woke/PC/cancel culture/pander to the minority party" in which case, those people will now make it their personal mission to ruin that offending person's life by ruining their existence online, calling their employers to get them fired, making sure they'll never get a job again, try to then spread their hate about that person to everyone else so now everyone hates that person, etc. FFS. People need to relax and scale their hatred back, maybe find something else in life that is enjoyable and fun and focus all that energy into that instead. I wish people would enjoy life more instead of focusing every waking moment on imposing their beliefs and opinions onto everyone else to the point they have to ruin each others lives to feel any satisfaction. 
    The "woke/cancel culture party" is too much and I have a feeling people will start getting burned out on it. Its that whole cycle of hatred the US loves and it comes back down to the "news", they all need people to fear something or hate something because being afraid or invoking anger is the only way to get those clicks, view and ad revenue. Much like how the quartering cashes in on it himself with videos hating against the wokeness. lol. Once the wokeness starts to fade away so will his viewers that oppose it.
    I'm burned out on the wokeness/cancel culture party. One example is the DC/Arrowverse shows on the CW. I loved these shows back in the day. The first couple seasons of Arrow were amazing, bad ass vigilante killing people that wronged him and the city. The other DC shows started up like Flash and Supergirl and they were great. And then years later the shows that exist now are nothing like those first seasons. The shows were completely taken over by wokeness. Every character that is introduced has to either be a minority, be a member of lgbtq, or be in an interracial relationship if straight. Like every single character. I like diversity, but damn... every single character has some lgbtq thing going on to the point that they are not minorities at all in the arrowverse, if anything there is so much lgbtq going on with all the characters that I'm surprised there is a sustainable population of people that actually have a straight relationship to reproduce. In comparison, the DC animated movies are damn amazing because they focus on the characters abilities, actions, morals, mental instabilities, violence, etc. Sometimes the animated series will have some sex or lgbtq like in the Harley Quinn animated series, but its not the primary focus of everything and it doesn't feel pushed onto everyone for the sake of hitting some equal representation goals set for every single episode. Maybe its just me, but all the CW Arrowverse shows don't seem to be targeting me as part of their demographic anymore. In terms of demographs, its the same with the relatively new CW Stargirl series, I watched a few eps of season 1 but everyone is a kid and I'm not interested in watching kids be superheros, I'm guessing they're trying to target a young group demograph to replace the aging fanbase thats losing interest.

    Definitely good news for folks who refuse to wear a mask/ don't believe in wearing masks - this's their chance to shine with no accountability or reason to be shamed for not wearing a mask. The media and Tiktokers will be upset though cos there will be less videos of karens being confronted for not wearing a mask.

    If you're asymptomatic, you won't get Covid or even know that you have it, but you'll pass it on to someone else. Wearing a mask is good, even if you're vaccinated, if you're in close vicinity to someone else or a group of people like if you were on a bus or train with closed windows. Wearing a mask or getting vaccinated is also more to do with the safety of people around you - if you're absolutely immune or sure you'll never get Covid.

    ^ it was his 2nd pfizer shot, but for like 7 years ive known him, he never even had a common cold until he got that shot. idk call it another coincidence or whatever but damn these vaccines scare me more than covid itself lol. O_o
     
    yeah i use to play Plague Inc (similar game i suppose) and iceland or greenland almost always survived bc they didnt have airports lol. but once you manage to get just one person infected via ports, then its too late to save the rest. even with travel ban on india works somehow, the southern border is wide open so it wont work in the US lol. thats why i remember when trump started travel banning selective countries (except china wtf) and liberal media were outraged saying its racist, all i could think of was well damn its too late now because 8 covid cases have already been reported in new york and california and it was like one month after wuhan outbreak. so it was everywhere by then. but back then most ppl thought it was going to be something serious and lethal like ebola. but as the virus revealed itself and we learned more about it, it mostly attacks who are old, sick, and vulnerable. if it was like the game and even the first infected could die as it mutated at a fast rate within a few weeks, then yeah i could see ppl take extreme measures to protect themselves, but covid isnt like that. its like a big hit or miss kinda thing, some dont even know they have it until it goes away on its own. ill keep wearing my mask as precaution but anything other than that, i dont think its necessary to go as far as take something i dont want or need. now im hearing some companies are forcing their employees to take their vaccines or risk losing their jobs sigh

    I think I stopped watching the show after S4 or S5, I don't remember. I remember there was a massive (orgy?) or sacrificial scene in the forest somewhere with his new wife at the time. I'll need to find it on one of these streaming platforms and watch it.

    I love that they actually listened to feedback on the last 2 movies and worked on showing more fights without occasionally cutting to the human element/ story. This movie was dumb and awesome. Very enjoyable and I'm so pissed I wasn't able to get vaccinated in time to catch it at an IMAX near me.

    Very satisfying and I was not expecting it to be good at all. I think that's what surprised me the most. I actually didn't like the ending or the fight sequence because the narrative felt rushed. Maybe if they fleshed it out more, it would've been cool but there's something about the direction it took that was jarring next to all the other episodes. Great build up though. And coincidentally, I watched The Truman Show last week - what a cool movie.

    Lets face it - the story sucked, script sucked, there was no actual tournament (although I get that it's a setup for the sequel that's happening), nobody to stay invested in emotionally or feel for any of the characters, not that great special effects and bad fighting angles. But, I still watched it - twice - for the heck of it and nostalgia haha. But if I'm being honest with myself, this was very forgettable.

    I don't think I ever got cable TV when I moved here, so it's been what ... 15ish years? My current streaming goes through Apple TV and here's what I have - 
    YouTube

    HULU
    HBO MAX
    Crunchyroll
    Disney+
    Amazon Prime
    Netflix
    I feel like I'm forgetting an app or two aka subscription service we pay for. Also, I just realized that listing these seems like having a lot and paying for a lot. Whichever accounts allow you to share/ have different profiles is how I have it currently set up - to the max profiles legally allowed. So overall, we're paying a fraction of the total subscription cost.

    It was a fun movie with great special effects and awesome fatalities... and that was it. Horrible acting outside of Kano... but that didn't matter. The pacing and Cole sucked. Cole should have never been in there. He wasn't in the games, he was so out of place... and his first victory was stupid without spoiling it, you know why.
    The pacing... it was all the pacing. Started out strong... then lets go searching.... then lets train... then boom everyone fights at the same time... no focus on individual fights.. then ok.. we won.. time for MK2. Such an abrupt ending. It was pretty jarring. The original movie was better.
