Kinda hard to tell the difference at times. There's a lot less Shakespeare in The Patriot, though.

I remember laughing my ass off at a 5-second loop of that scene with a Wilhelm added to it.

The "obsessively fixate on collecting Transformers and video games" quadrant.

You've clearly never had the transcendent experience of shitting in the woods. Or behind a dumpster at the Circle K.

Then why is the bill about DIVESTMENT of Tiktok from Chinese ownership? The operation headquarters are in Los Angeles and Singapore. I'm beginning to think you don't know what you're talking about.

60% of ByteDance is owned by global investors, most of which are based in the US. 20% is owned by the original co-founders, none of whom have any ties to the CCP, and the remaining 20% is owned by employees, almost all of which are in California. The overwhelming majority of the company is already owned by Americans. This entire thing is all about trying to silence a source of information that challenges and refutes government interests, particularly where Palestine is concerned.

You do know that the overwhelming majority of investment and control in TikTok is already based in the US, and the only Chinese national involved with the app was the creator who already cashed out and retired a long time ago?

Dude looks like the love child of Odo and Burt Reynolds!

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Metroid II really did the groundwork for what Super Metroid perfected? I don't think SM would have flown to the heights it has had Metroid II not taken the risks it did.

Edit: this wasn't intended as a reply to a comment and should have been it's own comment!

It really was a masterwork in that regard. I really see a lot of the creative genius of that era revolving around working around hardware limitations. Metroid II really did make me rethink what the Game Boy was really capable of back then. How it managed to play so well when the Castlevania games struggled to resemble their NES counterparts really told a pretty telling story in its own right.

Edit: that is a lot of "really"s.
