No, I don't think so. Whether it happened by accident or on purpose is a different measure, but the end result is the same, a movie that is so lacking in qualities that would normally be associated with a "good" movie that it is remarkable. I have heard of plenty of people that don't like it when movie makers intentionally try to make a movie that is "so bad it's good", but I've never heard anyone accuse those movies of being regular old "good".

    Why yes, I was born in 1988 but luckily when I first started making usernames in middle school, I decided to use the random number 45 in them instead. Yup, good old 45, nothing awful or related to white supremacists associated with that number... Sigh.

    The only way I could see this working is if they somehow made it so that the Steam Deck was far and away the best way to play HL3. Don't make it exclusive to it, just figure out a way so that it would be unthinkable to play it any other way because of how great an experience using the Steam Deck to play it is, to the point of being the reason anyone who hasn't yet gotten a Steam Deck (who conceivably ever might) runs out to get one. I really don't know how they'd pull that off though.

    Definitely fuck the Sacklers, but I'm not sure I understand what the part about being FDA approved is supposed to mean. Is it saying that it's surprising that Oxy is FDA approved because it can and does kill so many people? I would argue that the reason it kills more people than heroine and cocaine combined is precisely because it's FDA approved and therefore easier to acquire, not because it's inherently less safe than other opioids. Or is the argument something else?

    But see, that's one of the things the Kinsey scale doesn't really address. Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia? I wouldn't say it is. I know femboys and trans women are obviously different, but with regards to this question, you pretty quickly get into transphobic territory if you go around implying that it's gay to like trans women or anyone else presenting feminine just because of genitalia. Or is the argument that since femboys identify as boys, that it's automatically gay to have sex with them by definition?
