The thing with China and Transformers is that mindless action movies (and also slapstick comedies) aren't very language-dependent, so they end up being very successful across a wide variety of cultures. TLJ wasn't exactly an art film, but it's heavily thematic and therefore relies more on the plot than the explosions to drive things, leading to more difficulty in audiences with different cultural backgrounds.

This is a fantastic idea for a thread. I'm surprised we didn't have it already.

Oh dear lord save me from JJ Abrams.

1) Trump has said Mexicans are drug dealers and rapists, Puerto Ricans are lazy, he'd rather have immigrants from Norway than Africa, just to name a few that spring to mind. His attorney general said he thought the KKK were good people until he learned they smoked pot. He said the white nationalists in Charlotte were good people. He's had the Justice Department take the position that it's okay to fire people for being gay and transgender. He keeps appointing homophobic people to various posts (here's one example). And don't forget "grab 'em by the pussy". This is far from everything. (I know I didn't provide links to everything, but I did provide links for the things that weren't major news so you might not have heard of them.) 2) As I said, he lost the benefit of the doubt a long time ago.

Trump has proved time and again he is a bigot on every conceivable axis. He lost the benefit of the doubt long ago, regardless of the larger context. If he does something that appears bigoted then the reasonable assumption is that it is, unless there's strong evidence to the contrary. In this specific situation his stated reason (that it will decrease military readiness) is not backed up by the military's own research, so it screams pretext.

Welcome to both of you! (Even though Bogie has already been hanging out a few days )

NPD gets data from retailers for physical copies, relies on devs for digital.

They've made $1.3 billion from The Last Jedi. Even if it's not what they'd hoped, they're not going to start delaying movies because of it.

Google has made an AI that makes AIs, and it's better at it than humans are. Pretty sure this is the beginning of the end.

You can't expect me to read things...

Yeah, sometimes after I beat a level I would hit "continue modifying" and stare at it as it operated for a while.

You can do low power ones. But then you wouldn't be able to see the brain through the skull, so your explanation still makes more sense.

There's no way that amount of x-rays is healthy.

If only it weren't locked inside CBS's stupid premium streaming site.

Blue Reflection I actually platted it, which isn't hard to do in one playthrough (I got all but 1 trophy naturally, and I did look that one up once I realized it was the only one I wasn't going to get on my own). I liked it, but it's nothing spectacular. Kind of a Baby's First Persona, with everything SUPER simplified but still kind of recognizable.

I tried that game on PC and just got so bored. It took way too long to do anything.

I think they've actually said it, but can't remember where.

Microsoft's plan with Xbox is explicitly to make it so everything is backwards compatible forever now. That doesn't mean Xbones will be forwards compatible forever, but every console they release in the future is intended to be able to play anything an Xbone can. I imagine we'll end up with a simplified version of system requirements on Xbox games, where they'll say "you need at least an Xbox One Z to play this" or whatever. Of course whether or not that actually happens remains to be seen, but that's the plan.

Sounds like how I feel about Halo.

You should get play Dishonored 1. And Prey.

Yeah, glass is the way to go, plastic ones are dumb because they don't protect the screen from breaking and the get scratched way more easily than the actual screen would.
