I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at...
It’s sad but she just wasn’t able to do well in any of the tasks. She was too ambitious with the toilet idea, and just missed the mark with the raspberry ganache. She was an awesome sport though!
I played WoW a bit after its initial release through the first couple xpacs. Getting the MMO itch again, but I know the WoW I grew up with doesn’t really exist anymore, so now I’m pretty out of touch....
All the activity in every zone I visit really does just feel so great. There’s no better sign a game is alive and healthy. It was totally that which hooked me.
So true! It’s a game that really respects your time and there are always people around to help you if you get stuck.
Welcome to GW2, I genuinely hope you continue to enjoy your time here!
I’m biased because I’ve been playing it since launch, but I’ve also dabbled in the others and simply couldn’t justify a sub fee when
a) there are so many other games I’d like to play simultaneously and not feel guilty doing so b) there’s no gear treadmill! It really sucks in games like WoW where I want to check out the older content to get up to speed and just the zones were dead. Conversely, I’m doing map completion with my wife in GW2 and even the core maps had a bunch of people running around doing dynamic events and world bosses. The game feels so much more alive!
Went with my wife and I’ll admit, considering the bad press fit it going into the movie, we were pleasantly surprised, and both enjoyed it!
The quantum entanglement of their powers was a genuinely cool and tangible way to bring the galaxy-faring Colossus that is captain Marvel to give a damn about a street level young hero like Ms Marvel.
Nia DaCosta wanted to make the shortest MCU movie, and while the movie didn’t outstay its welcome, it definitely could’ve been longer. The singing planet was weird, but a fun, GotG weird, and definitely needed more screentime, e.g. having Darr Benn try to parlay with them in the medium of song (kind of how Star Lord and Ronan had a dance off lol!)
IMO It was a decent enough plot; it’s getting harder and harder to create a “the world is ending” storyline without treading old ground, but it held up nicely. It might’ve been cooler for them to happen upon a planet that’s already dead to really convey the stakes to the viewer, and they really should have tried harder to save Aladna
Darr Benn being able to hold off the three Marvels did break my immersion a little; even with being able to absorb the energy via the bracelet, 3 on 1 is a bit generous for someone who was just a generic grunt. Can’t complain though, it was still a fun fight.
The X-Men mid-credits scene was super hype! What the MCU needs is a host of recognisable characters to hold up the flag for the viewers to attach to. No one cares about Moon Knight, for example.
I just hope the MCU doesn’t become all about the X-Men, Fantastic 4 and Deadpool, and heroes like ant Man don’t just become footnotes in the current roster.
Overall, I’d rate it about 7/10! Definitely above average, fun, and Ms Marvel and her family added a lot of classic marvel comic relief that DC just doesn’t seem to understand!
Also can we talk about how incredible Brie Larson looked in her suit? She worked out like crazy and it showed! Big props to her! I just wish the internet wasn’t so upset with her!

He’s not an organic tech reviewer. All of his devices are sponsored. He exists in a completely different world than the vast majority of his audience. Money is not an object for him and he promotes always having day 1 tech.
That’s true to some extent, I guess.
I’ve always thought his approach has remained broadly consistent to his roots (I’ve been subbed to him since he was much, much smaller) but yes, the products he reviews now are almost always provided to him rather than being bought by him personally. This becomes true of any channel of his size, but I’ve not seen his opinion change as a result.
He addresses the topic about bias in this short , but we can look to his phone of the year awards to assess his biases objectively. For every year since the awards began in 2014, an Android device has always won Phone of the Year. An iPhone has never won an award for Best design, Best Value or Best Big Phone since records began either.
iPhones have won best camera system since 2018, but he maintains that this is due to the superior video capabilities of iPhones, but still prefers the ‘look’ of a Pixel photo, or the hardware of a Samsung (20x zoom etc). Androids dominate every single category simply because there are so many companies developing and competing against each other to make better and better Android devices.
Marques is personally almost always rocking a Pixel or Samsung Galaxy device as his main daily driver (because he loves the customisation and the freedom that android devices give him), and has an iPhone in his other pocket for apple things. He calls out bad Android and Apple devices in equal measure, and he actively advised against buying a newer Mac because the M2 and M3 products just don’t give you enough of an upgrade over M1 to make it worthwhile.
I watch every single video he puts out and just don’t see the Apple shill thing. He has always come across as an Android fan to me, but I hear the Apple shill thing all the time.
You have to renew your driver’s license every 10 years. That means in the worst case scenario, the image they’re using of you could be 10 years out of date.
Those images are also not detailed enough to be used for facial recognition. Sure, it could help narrow down the list of suspected people, but they’re crazy if they think they’d be able to pinpoint someone based on what they looked like 5-10 years prior.
I suspect these powers are being used for something else more sinister. Immigration, for example, to clamp down on people who have licenses and are delivery drivers, or taxi drivers for example.
