“I can tell you that it’s a lot about Jessie,” Allen said about the fifth “Toy Story” movie. “Tom [Hanks] and I do — Woody and I — do realign. And there’s an unbelievable opening scene with Buzz Lightyears. I can give you that, but I can’t give you much more.”

Andrew Stanton is directing “Toy Story 5,” which will center on Buzz, Woody and the rest of the toys as they go head to head with the electronics that now consume the attention of children. Stanton has writing credits on all the “Toy Story” movies and won Oscars for his acclaimed Pixar efforts “Finding Nemo” and “Wall-E.”

Sounds like Woody is back. Maybe flashbacks? Or maybe some other method.

I think anarchy chess allows for such rulings.

Exactly, Chess is Mario Kart.

Anyone can learn how to play Chess. Anyone can learn how to play Mario Kart.

You slap a controller in someone’s hand tell them “A” is go and they can play Mario Kart. Sure they have to learn the track, where to collect power ups, where the shortcuts are, and eventually they have to learn about and master drifting.

But being a genius in Mario Kart doesn’t make you a genius. No heist movie ever said, “And this genius over here? They scored first place in 200cc Special Cup.”

OMG! I HAVE THE EXACT SAME NUMBER!

Wait what three digit number do you have on the back? No way those match too.

This reminds me of a short story/presentation by computer scientist Ken Thompson titled, “Reflections on Trusting Trust”.

It’s worth reading but basically we use software to create software. We trust that the software we use to create software can be trusted. We have the source code, but that’s just words on paper, it doesn’t do anything. We have to use software to turn that code into software.

To light a campfire take a burning stick and apply it to the pile of tinder and dry wood. Where do you get a burning stick? Place one in a campfire.

I’m still confused by what happened with this film. I knew it was coming out, but I didn’t get around to seeing it opening weekend, then by Wednesday of the next week the headlines stated that it was leaving theaters and heading to streaming.

I would have seen it in theaters, but once the streaming was announced I didn’t mind waiting another week or two.

I just saw it and enjoyed it.

I feel like it didn’t have any time to build momentum, just kicked almost straight to streaming.

To be fair the Switch launched with Zelda Breath of the Wild, which is arguably the best Zelda game and possibly the best game on the Switch.

So even with only a single title, the Switch had a strong launch title.

Now for Switch 2 they’re launching with Mario Kart. Now I know Mario Kart is the top selling Switch game, so it sounds like a good launch title, but I’m less confident.

I know Nintendo hasn’t made a new Mario Kart game in 10+ years, just updated the existing Mario Kart 8, and I’m sure it’ll be fun, but I think Mario Kart is too casual of a game, I think it sells systems eventually, but not so much on launch.

History shows it does pay off.

The Wii U had Nintendo Land, which was the 5th top selling game for the console.

The Switch had 1 2 Switch, which was the 40th top selling game for the console. 40th might sound low, but that’s about the same as Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, Pikmin 4 or Paper Mario Origami King.

Now this “game” looks to be terrible so far, but that can always throw it as a pack in after a year or two and suddenly the total sales bump right up. No downside.

So Donkey Kong lore can be weird, depending on which Donkey Kong you subscribe to.

The most well known version design of Donkey Kong starts with Donkey Kong Country, where Donkey Kong is the grandson of Cranky Kong. Cranky Kong was the original Donkey Kong that threw barrels at Mario (Jumpman at the time).

That also means we’re missing a Kong, Donkey Kong’s father, Donkey Kong Jr. The design shown here does closely resemble what a grown up Donkey Kong Jr might look like.

SO, the Donkey Kong show here might not be Donkey Kong, it may be Donkey Kong Jr, better known simply as Donkey Kong. It could also just be a young Donkey Kong or Cranky Kong, since they’re related and may look similar.

Let’s start with Vodka. What a fucking waste. Vodka, at it’s best, is supposed to be flavourless. So you’re already off to a terrible start. If you’re asking for a Vodka Martini you’re asking for Strong Vermouth.

So let’s get that out of the way. You need the standard gin. Gin is delicious. There are many different Gins to choose from. Gin has actual flavor. I like Hendricks, but try and figure out which Gun you like best. Beefeater is great for a gin & tonic, might not work as well in a Martini. Try a few different options.

Now we’ve got Gin and vermouth. Those two work together beautifully.

Now I like a good olive. I say make that fucker dirty. Extra dirty. OLIVE ME THE FUCK UP! That’s what I want. You want it straight up? Fine. I think it’s packing but it’s the traditional way and I won’t complain. You want a cocktail onion? That’s called a Gibson and I ain’t complaining.

But GIN THAT FUCKER UP. Fuck off with your weak ass Vodka Martini. I don’t care if it’s Grey Goose or some other “fancy” shit. That ain’t no Martini.

Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart has this right. A gin martini, specifically Hendricks has it right. Dirty is ideal.

Good catch, so 2nd to 3rd for the Switch.

I know the headline says PlayStation, but this whole thread is ignoring the Nintendo Switch. For every PS5 sold, two Nintendo Switches were sold. Maybe PlayStation and Xbox are on the decline, but the Switch is nearly the bestselling console of all time (the PS2 is still in the lead and will likely hold that title.)

Also when it comes to MUST HAVE games, Nintendo has so many of those to choose from. Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, the list goes on.

Nintendo has absolutely dominated the console market and this article seems to just ignore that.

I would agree the cats out of the bag, so there may not be anything that can be done. The keys aren’t going to those who can afford a server farm, the door is wide open for anyone with a computer.

The interesting follow up to this is what Disney does to a model trained on their films. Sure lawyers, but how much will they actually be able to do?

Also DMs work on both new & old Reddit. Chat only works on new Reddit.

(Unless something has changed recently.)

Basically, yes.

If I were an alien and you walked up to me and said, “Good Morning”, and I looked around and everyone else said “Good Morning”, I would respond with "Good Morning ". I don’t know what is “Good” or “Morning”, but I can pretend I do with the correct response.

In this example “Grok” has no context on what is going on in the background. Musk may have done nothing. Musk may have altered the data sets heavily. However the most popular response, based on what everyone else is saying, is that he did modify the data. So now it looks like he did, because that’s what everyone else said.

This is why these tools have issues with facts. If 1 + 1 = 3, and everyone says that 1 + 1 = 3, then it assumes 1 + 1 = 3.

Super Metroid is definitely the gold standard. Zero Mission definitely feels like it uses Super Metroid as its base. The same is also true for AM2R.

I think if you are getting into the series for the first time, Zero Mission, AM2R, Super Metroid & Metroid Fusion is the order to go in. They all share a similar set of gameplay & graphics.

I think the 3DS Metroid II remake is great, but in terms of cohesiveness, it’s going to stand out among the four games.

That being said it’s made by the same developers who will then go on to make Metroid Dread, which is probably my favorite Metroid game behind Super Metroid, which is the best.

I completely agree and to I’ll add that this also applies to Metroid II. As Metroid II was on the Game Boy the game resolution is far too small to ever revisit. For a side scrolling game you can barely see what is in front of you.

Luckily the fan game AM2R, or the slightly less good but still excellent 3DS remake do for Metroid II what Zero Mission did for the original.

Tony Hawk 1+2 was good, if they literally just do that again, then yes. There are areas to improve, but the core gameplay, which is just the Tony Hawk games, is still fun.

Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Assuming US, it actually depends on the state (may be all states, but I can only speak of those I’ve lived in). The law is that the money must go into a separate interest bearing account and that is the money that is to be returned. So the money isn’t supposed be their own pocket.
