Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas have been problematic for some time. Her work, him not recusing himself from cases with her involvement.

5-4 did a good episode on Ginni Thomas a couple of weeks ago, or rather interviewing someone who recently put out a hefty report on her (maybe in the NYT?). Super awesome that your Facebook grandma has the ear of one of the more powerful political actors in the country.

The father of one of my wife's best friends back in Thailand is apparently a pretty prominent federal judge, I've always wondered what he (or anyone practicing law outside of the US) would think about the American court system. Unfortunately he doesn't speak a lick of English, and my wife doesn't care enough to pass my weird notes along to him :v: He was at the wedding that we did over there so I consider him a buddy!

I mentioned elsewhere that one way you know Thomas is doing badly with whatever he has is reporters finally hitting publish on what they have on Ginny. She’s a complete sociopath and a functioning government would have forced Clarence out years ago.

She had also been long rumored as the slush fund to bribe Clarence Thomas. But no one has dragged her because of decorum bullshit.

"We hired people who hated Halo"

"Having the Halo franchise was burdensome in a lot of ways -- meeting expectations, for example -- but it was great for hiring," O'Connor admits

"We had people who we hired who hated Halo because of 'X,'" says O'Connor. "But what that really meant was, 'I feel like this game could be awesome because of 'Y input' that I'm going to bring into it. I want to prove it, and I'm passionate about proving it.' So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product. That is a huge advantage, and that helped in hiring and forming our team."

So loving gross dude. You have a generation of Sci fi writers that grew up with the Halo series and you deliberately ignore them to shoe horn your own bullshit takes into an established IP.

I watched a five minute review of it and one thing the reviewer said was hopefully all the show runners for upcoming properties will look at Halo and take notes of what they want versus what fans are expecting. The minute they go "we're gonna try something different. Put our own spin on things" is when things go wrong.

It's all gas. 30k BTU heats the 24" griddle. It has temp sensors too so you can set the temp of the griddle.

Pretty much mate, like gently caress. You could tell any number of good stories with the bullshit they want to ram down the audience's throat with a simple side plot. It would actually be a nice side plot if you had master chief be the actual force of good he was, something he had to work against in the chain of command for instance, it would actually fit with the lore a little, instead its just so brain dead.

I'm assuming I'll need to wander into SA's QCS threads but I noticed that some Something Awful plugin got rid of the "livestream" button, which was invaluable for TFF GDT's. I want to channel my inner Karen and demand a manager to fix this injustice.

I believe there is a tech support area outside QCS itself, but the question would most likely be 'what changed that then broke SALR," and anything to do with like the Awful app, SALR, etc. are all things handled by those teams and not SA itself. But worth figuring out.

What?

I don’t have Paramount+ so I wasn’t that interested in the Halo show anyway, hell I haven’t liked one of the games since Reach from 2010 (After already being unimpressed by Halo 3, I didn’t like 4 either and haven’t bought anything since), but everything I’m hearing about this makes it sound like a complete clusterfuck.
