NINTENDO has won the console wars… again… The insistence on “next level graphics” is what priced gamers out of the console market… That should have always been the real of PC gaming and everyone should have been fine with where graphics topped off in 2018-2020. There was never a need for more than that and now here we are… It’s going to be unaffordable for anyone below median income.
Xbox is reportedly planning for their next console to release in late 2028. Microsoft is internally projecting that the console could cost consumers between $1,200 and $1,800, unless they decide to subsidize the cost. (Source: fortune.com/2026/10/20/the-n…)

Guarantee they don't actually have a plan and are making it up as they go. They're gonna bring some original actors back after Secret Wars, but I doubt they know for sure which ones yet.
Bucky Barnes’ future after Avengers: Doomsday is raising questions. Sebastian Stan has reportedly revealed that Marvel hasn’t contacted him about Avengers: Secret Wars yet. That’s interesting, considering Bucky is confirmed for Doomsday and has been part of the MCU since Captain America: The First Avenger. Could Doomsday be the end of Bucky’s MCU journey, or is Marvel keeping his future under wraps?

I’m not reposting it, but the website TF-Direct has put up a photo of Studio Series Optimus Prime posed into the shape of a swastika Absolutely disgusting There’s no ambiguity or nuance to stuff like this - it’s just awful, and it has zero place in the Transformers fandom

Replying to @djsmith42
Software companies made desktop apps commercially unviable. NOBODY WANTS TO PAY A SUBSCRIPTION to use desktop software that runs entirely on their own hardware. And very little, if anything meaningful has changed in MS office or Adobe creative suite in decades.

Yeah but... if every movie got to release and then re-release and then Encore Release their numbers would be higher too. Just sayin'. #ApplestoApples
‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME’ is $60M away from surpassing $3 BILLION globally. Potentially becoming the first film to ever reach this mark.
