I am still but a tourist enjoying the horny fruits of the Love and Deepspace community’s labor, so I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that there are months-long controversies and discourse within the gacha game I had never heard of. However, when I saw IGN reporting on dark-skinned custom characters being essentially “invisible” in some of its cutscenes, I was flabbergasted at how true it was, and that it’s apparently been an issue since the game launched last year.  Something you’ll learn in film or art school is that you will sometimes have to frame shots, adjust lighting, and consider…

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings novels—and the associated “legendarium” of characters, histories, myths, maps, and constructed languages—have served as a bedrock of so-called “nerd culture” since their publication in the mid-1950s.With its clear-cut characterizations, and (more-or-less) cleanly delineated lines between Good and Evil, Tolkien’s imagined Middle-earth—a vast and geographically variegated realm teeming with elves, dwarves, wizards, dragons, orcs, and halflings—can be fairly called archetypal. It is the sort of modern myth that can be adapted to any time, place, or scenario. Well, almost any.Recently, the US Department of Homeland Security has taken to “Shire-posting.” That is: using quotes…

It can turn ants into “zombies,” help fictional plumbers grow, and even look like creepy fingers. One newly engineered strain of fungus uses the power of smell to kill Earth’s deadliest animal—mosquitoes. Mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria and dengue, kill thousands of people per year. In 2023 alone, malaria killed over 500,000 people in 83 countries. These illnesses are often difficult to control, and mosquitoes have gotten better at resisting chemical pesticides that used to work.  However, fighting nature with nature…

Guillermo del Toro loves a challenge. Nothing the 61-year-old director does could be termed “half-assed,” and each of his movies is planned, scripted, and storyboarded with immense attention to detail.Such discipline is evident in Frankenstein, his adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel. It’s a movie del Toro has been trying to make for years, and it shows. The elaborate sets and costumes—as well as some embellishing of Shelley’s story—could only be the work of someone as connected as he is with his source material.Raised in a deeply Catholic family in Guadalajara, Mexico, del Toro was so enthralled when he saw…

The Republican-led FCC has voted on and approved a proposal that would make it harder for consumers to receive itemized bills with accurate information from their ISPs, . This proposal revises previous “unnecessary” requirements on the grounds “may confuse customers.”These changes would minimize the benefit of the so-called “nutrition labels” which are otherwise known as Broadband Facts labels. You’ve likely run into these simple itemized labels when shopping for a broadband plan.
