  • Honestly, it doesn’t really matter, the joke works without knowing who it is. But it looks like this was the singer “Jennie” from a Korean Girl Group called Blackpink. A lot of these groups will swap out members to keep the fame and fans of the group but allow talent to move on/retire, looks like Jennie is a new member and she’s doing so well because she was able to order her own Porsche. Yay for Jennie pulling herself up by her gold inlaid bootstraps.









  • It’s the problem with how companies operate. As a whole we should be working towards utopia. But there’s no desire to pay into social programs, only to extract money from other (usually non-billionaire) people, and avoid paying them so that extracted money stays in their hands. It’s the “No Take, Only Throw” dog meme but “No wages, only spend.”




  • I think you’re right, and like other people said “the tent” has become a sort of icon of the series.

    I think it’s also from the “art direction” point of view, it also makes it appear as more of a “pop up contest”. They’re not going to an established venue, they’re saying “and here we are today at (location) for the British bake off!” It makes it feel more like a travelling “festival style” event like a local baking competition than a hard “we brought challengers to the Bake Off Challenge campus”. It feels more approachable when it looks like it could be “in your back yard” than in some far off studio.



  • I think the thing people always forget was that Pokemon was never at the bleeding edge of tech. Don’t get me wrong some of the games did some impressive actions here and there, but they were never at the far front pioneering the way unless it was something pushed by Nintendo consoles themselves (like the 3DS or motion controls).

    Not that excuses them, they’re a massive company/IP but they don’t need to do all the bells and whistles to sell Pokemon so why would they.



  • I think they’re saying it’s Pokopia that’s a “ripoff” but Nvm I’ve seen some gen 10 stuff now, it looks like more of the same. anything nintendo makes lately it’s just animal crossing with a story and a different coat of paint like pokopia. Which is basically what Tomodachi life is too, minus the story and plus generated voices.

    Idk if it’s “AI Slop”, but it definitely doesn’t shine like some of the old Nintendo polish used to. But maybe I’m also not their target audience


  • The problem is that you’re not just sending parts out there. You have to:

    • get the upgrade rocket going fast enough to actually catch up with something going very fast with a 20 year head start
    • slow down once you get to it.
    • make the upgrades while floating in space on a piece of hardware that was designed not to be upgraded and built on earth (hope you don’t need gravity for disassembly) that you control on a 30 minute delay.

    At that point we could just launch a whole new satellite with better hardware, going faster, and covering a completely different area of space. Which is what we have done. But we can still make use of the system we have out there. It’s still the furthest out, so it’s still worth using for as long as we can


  • 100% agreed. Like I said I think it should be legal regardless, the punishments are way too severe for what it is. But on a completely different note, we do still need the tests. I love drinking and I love smoking, but there are rules of the road, and one of those is “don’t drive the death machine with impaired judgement”.

    But yes you’re right, the legality shouldn’t be based on if “but what if they drive”. I’m more saying “if you do some life-disregarding level ignorant” shit you’re still getting in trouble.
