The thread title could probably do with a refresh.

I have an Orville the Duck money box

Ah yes, Batgirl's greatest enemy - taxation.

I guess there's a fair amount of CGI that they don't want to pay for.

Surely that drop off is because people aren't in lock down any more, and so have less time for buying and playing video games?

They already shot it?

Ja, alles klar?

A better time would be in August, when it'll be available on PS Plus.

I'm really enjoying the films, but the TV shows haven't exactly lived up to my expectations. With each one, they seem to be getting worse and more missable. I'm happy with the whole Phase situation as well. I'm assuming that the tentpole 'Avengers' film at the end of the phase will lay out what's happening, in the same way that Avengers Assemble tied up the first phase of films.

Like you're going to get any time to play any games at all for next few months...

Sorry, the American way of doing numbers is what I agree with. Using commas in punctuation is not specifically American, I just worded it weirdly.

See this is one of the few things I agree with the Americans on. When punctuating a sentence, you put a comma in the places where you pause but not stop, to help with legibility - and then a period at the end, to differentiate from the next sentence. When writing a number, I like to put commas in the number to help with legibility (1,000,000), and then a period at the end to differentiate from the decimal part of the number (1,000,000.000).

How do these people keep climbing so high?

I wrote some stuff in Fortran and Matlab for my PhD, but since then, i've mainly used VBA. I've never sat down and learned any of them though. I tend to just cobble together something that works, and then cannibalise that code for when I want to do something similar.

I'm sure your dad will be fine, as long as he wears his hat:

I finished watching Ms Marvel this week as well as going to see Thor 4 at the cinema. Ms Marvel Thor 4

It wasn't the best episode, but I agree it was good to get some background to the Kaylon. And Bortus had some great lines. The bit where he's sat on the Bridge, and they all turn to look at him to leave, and he just says "......what?". I'm really bored of the episodes focusing on the Doctor and Isaac. Just feels like they're going round in circles. No, he doesn't have feelings. He is a robot. No, he's never going to fall in love with you. He is a robot. No, he doesn't feel remorse. He is a robot. I thought this was heading in a direction where all that would change, but no, by the end of the episode....he was a robot. Hopefully they can move on now?

Today I found out that the voice actor for Sebulba in The Phantom Menace is the guy who voices Postman Pat. My Postman Pat viewings will never be the same again.

This thread got me thinking about shorts.

Who else split off to join the discord? I wondered where Dazzybee went.

£33 for a 512Gb, or £200 for 1Tb?

Assassins Creed: Black Flag is probably the best pirate game. Best be quick though before they de-list it.

It's clearly something that happens once you get to Union command level. Ed Mercer does this weird lip pursing thing when he's thinking as well. Maybe it gives them a commanding presence or something.

Started binge-ing Umbrella Academy Season 3 the other night. It's started off really well. This might be my favourite scene from a TV show in the last 5 years:
