You missed the start of all this: https://lemmy.ml/post/24811284

No joke, this year’s CoD is the 21st game in the series. (Main series, that is. I don’t even want to know what the grand total including spinoffs/handheld/mobile is.)

If you’re referring to the rumors of killing animals during filming, those appear to be false. Several Humane Societies even put their names on the movie. The belief might come from them using so many different cats and dogs, but that’s because it took 4 years to film and they kept aging.

When they’re getting pulled down toward Atlanta:

How many atmospheres can this ship withstand?

Well it’s a spaceship, so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.

Are you sure about Giant Bomb? AFAIK Jess, Jason, and Bailey were all laid off by Fandom. The GB crew even spoke about being caught off-guard both times, and how bad they thought those layoff decisions were.

Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”

I think it’s because they’re quoting her use of the word. But I agree it’s almost indistinguishable from scare quotes when used around a single word like that.

Lio. Another comic strip.

FYI you can trim 80% of that. https://www.amazon.com/LEXiBOOK-Educational-Activities-Mathematics-Dactylography/dp/B0B6HKB3JF/ Amazon sure loves its tracking data.

It was both countries, sadly.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Supposedly a lung infection caused by inhaling very fine volcano dust. Technically invented by a group of word puzzle fans, but it’s appeared in dictionaries.

This might also be the first time since I learned it (30+ years ago) that it’s been even close to relevant in a conversation.

A variant of Eat hot chip and lie.

A great place to have some friends over for dinner.

And the follow-up, Big Gas Savings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pxBh42TrGw

I believe the game showed pronouns on the character select screen. That’s all it takes to make certain people mad, unfortunately.

There was a followup movie 6 years later, but as you can see from the audience score it wasn’t very good. None of the actors from the Tanner family came back for it.

There are way more rings than that, and they’re actually the best parts of the game. It gets so much worse in the levels without rings. Awful combat, terrible puzzles, inconsistent framerate, and thoroughly unclear objectives.

Oh, and everyone’s favorite: escort missions!
