It’s my wife’s birthday this weekend so we’re going out with a bunch of friends. This is extra special because we scored a babysitter for our one-year-old, and we haven’t really been out together much since he’s been born. We’re gonna go hard.
That, and Helldivers II, if the servers will let me in.
…though sources say that even before Majors’ conviction, the studio was making moves to minimize the character after Quantumania underperformed, grossing $476 million
Jonathan Majors-related stuff aside, this sentence makes me shake my head.
Why does it seem like Hollywood always takes the wrong lesson from box office results? Quantumania isn’t well received, and instead of assuming it’s because of the bad script or bad story or rushed CGI, their impulse is to retool their entire franchise to minimize a character? Especially a character who people were generally into (at that time, at least…again, Majors stuff aside).
People disliked Quantamania not because of Kang, people disliked it because it wasn’t a good movie. Maybe if you tie good stories and good filmmaking to your multi-billion dollar franchise and stop plopping out half thought out turds, then people will go see your movie.
That sounds terrible. I hope you are doing ok now.
Paying them with an education is a good start, but it’s a pittance compared to the amount of money they are bringing in for other people. Arguing that their education is the only compensation they should be getting is akin to saying “we don’t need to pay the staff at our restaurant because we give them a free lunch during their shift.”
I don’t know what the answer is, but continuing to just offer them a scholarship while the adults in charge make money off their labor definitely isn’t it.
I think the rule is worded really badly in a way that makes it more confusing that it needs to be.
As for the rule itself, my table usually hand waves it and lets you cast whatever you want with your bonus action and action, provided you have the slots to do it. We haven’t had any issues with that feeling game breaking for us yet.
Which rules about bonus action spells are you referring to?
Cool insight - thanks!
Same!
I feel like every week we hear about some huge breakthrough that is supposed to revolutionize clean drinking water technology and save the world, but nothing ever comes of it.
I know this stuff takes time to develop, and not every idea is going to work, but it would be nice if one of these things actually did pan out and start being useful to solve our drinking water issues.
But they didn’t say that though?
They pointed out those countries also have jails/prisons that detain people against their will. That isn’t the same as saying the systems are identical.
