Not according to the original producer. He considers it a spiritual successor. (Link)

There’s another possibility: they didn’t stay home, but there’s just more of the other guys.

Shouldn’t be too hard. There are loads of alternatives out there on various platforms.

An astute observation for a dumbass.

Is the statement that the dog is chicken?

reeSilva is correct, but for the sake of everyone’s sanity: AVOID LINKEDIN AT ALL COSTS. That’s where all the self-important and out of touch people hang out and they’re the absolute worst.

Exactly. There’s no moral dillema here. I’m keeping the switch in the “left” position and welding it in place, just in case.

To be clear, XMPP is the name of the protocol, not the app. If an XMPP app with a Discord-like UI is what you’re after, then Converse.js is probably your best bet. Here’s what it looks like.

“It has a gradient so you know it’s AI.” <- Uh, what does this mean?

omg, how is this scene still being taken out of context after 10+ years? In the scene mentioned, Tidus, the protagonist of the story, is feeling depressed and Yuna, the summoner who Tidus is guarding, tries to cheer him up. One of her methods is forcing(!) yourself to laugh. It looks ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous, heck, the other characters watching the scene think it’s ridiculous and even Yuna herself at some point tells Tidus he should probably stop. The laugh sounds forced, because it is. And intentionally, at that.

What, no Microsoft Word?

omg, you’re right! The “hand” on the left looks like a foot.

Ah, enough said. Thanks.

Wasn’t this debunked as fake ages ago?

I’m out of the loop. What did HF do to make you not take them seriously?

Okay yeah, true enough. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that people are now much less likely to go see a mediocre to bad superhero movies. To give an example, the first two Thors and Iron Man 3 weren’t great, but they were still box office hits. I have to wonder if it would pan out the same way if they were released today.

Soooo, would this be a riposte to a repost?

Yes, that would be one heck of a twist… if they hadn’t revealed Dr. Doom’s identity at Comic-Con. And we don’t even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they’re making, they would have kept RDJ’s involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.

Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:

• This Dr. Doom is an alternate universe version of Tony Stark. But if this is true, why the heck would they spoil the reveal?
• Second option is even worse: no alternate universe chicanery. This is MCU’s version of Doom. But that’s just lazy casting.

Yes, hello. I recently found out that wikipedia has a whole article about you and the, uh, challenges you have faced over the years. In light of this, have you considered renaming your mascot to Dicky Louse?
