To be fair, he must be very afraid that they'll make him get an abortion.

I read my progs and Megs in one sitting every few months or so, and was quite enjoying being above the week-to-week concerns about prompt delivery.  Not looking forward to visiting the LCS for my pickup run and subsequent prog hunt.

They found a way to improve perfection.

Everyone knows the Moon is flat, that's why we never see the other side of it even if it's windy out.

That's just crazy talk.

I don't see Droids or Caravan Of Courage anywhere on that list, so how accurate can it be?

Canonically - nope.

I kept seeing "ABY" in games and stuff Star Wars-related, and eventually cracked and Googled it to discover that it means "after the Battle of Yavin" which is when the Death Star blows up at the end of the original film, so theoretically, Lucasfilm - which seemed to run a tighter ship than most when it came to its multimedia continuity - had a solid idea of when events occurred in relation to each other, even if they didn't always stick to it in every last game, novel, comic book or whatever.
Whether Disney has knocked that continuity on the head during their clean-out is, of course, another matter.  I suspect it doesn't really matter for our purposes as viewers.

Sorting the artist for new Charley's War stories is probably not going to be the hard part.

One of the Youtubers I follow posted a video in which she spoke of her recent miscarriage, and she was just so resigned to what's coming next, because she's an openly pro-choice public figure.
Not all Christians are hateful myopic shitheads, so I sometimes wonder how pro-lifers square the circle of the people they consort with and the things they do.

[Star Wars Squadrons]

I am well-aware I was playing Star Wars Squadrons wrong by not using a PS4VR unit, but I've got along well enough with aerial combat games to date without one and I didn't foresee any problems here.  It's playable, but I think the static view and limited interaction beyond the shooty-shooty bits betray that it was designed for a different interface than the one I was using, though even then, it's hard to see what the thinking was behind some of the talky bits.
Combat is fine, but very old-school.  I don't see how a VR interface would improve it much beyond immersion, as a lot of issues for me concerned knowing what to shoot at, and when.  The use of the speed throttle isn't great, but this has long been an issue with flight combat games that try to go for arcade thrills.
It's still easy to play, though, and the reloading times are perfectly good, meaning it isn't such a drag to have to restart when you wipe out, so it doesn't feel like you have to avoid taking risks.  A perfectly entertaining game for 20 quid - available as part of TESCO's Black Friday deals, which include other games like Marvel's Avengers and Star Wars: Fallen Order.

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla - more of the same, but to be honest I have played the crap out of Origins, Odyssey, and a lot of Syndicate, and that's all, really.  Valhalla seems very similar to those, and that is fine with me.  It retains the scaled enemy level system, because Ubisoft has XP boosters to sell you, but joke's on them because it means I get more play time out of the game.
I don't really like the main character that much, but I liked that you get to play a prologue and the activities you engage in decide whether you have prominently male or female characteristics if you "let the Animus decide" your gender - likely problematic for various reasons, but come on: it's a game, it can handle binaries, but the rest is still entirely up to yourself.  Also, I think you can change genders during the game anyway.  I could happily never have to play another second as Layla Hassan, though.  I find the future/present bits in these games really dull.
Like I say, it's more of the same and I am perfectly happy with that.  Fair warning that there seem to be a lot of technical glitches that haven't been patched out yet.

Does that mean that this in Block Friday?

I'm calling the police.

[specifically]

What if Disney specifically screwed ADF because they are banking on him dying soon?
There is zero chance a company with their Orwellian marketing machine doesn't know what the optics on this are like, yet they did it anyway.  One has to wonder how they thought they'd come out ahead.

"I was born a snake handler and I'll die a snake handler."

I don't think the two ideas are incomPatible.

I was, of course, making a flippant remark, as is my wont.

The forum is cancelling Pat Mills?  It must be a Tuesday.
