Three Body Problem?

I disagree, that's an ideal time to exert labor leverage and make it more obvious to executive turds that workers have solidarity with each other.
Wasn't that the Loki show, where all of time is run by a boring dystopian corporate bureaucracy?
Now that I think of it, I guess you're right, that show probably did do better than Black Adam.
all of the kids are progressive
I'm not so sure that's entirely true, there are plenty of angry social regressives among the young too.
requires you to own the original Thief Gold
Happily, that's no longer the case these days. TDM was originally a mod, but despite keeping the name, it's now a standalone game using the open-sourced Doom 3 engine. The whole game is currently free without any purchases necessary!
Putting everyone into these little boxes and arbitrarily pitting them against each other
Just because you apparently don't have any strong political opinions and the status quo works fine for you, doesn't mean that everyone else's opinions are "arbitrary". What an ignorant thing to suggest.
can we stop with the divisions and no true Scotsman bullshit on the left
No, because (A) liberals are by definition not leftists regardless of how little they know about their own right-wing political advocacy, and (B) ignoring the fact that there are differences among leftists (and liberals and leftists) is both wholly unproductive and furthers political alienation of the people whose opinions you want to be able to conveniently pretend don't exist.
Additionally, just because you don't understand leftists when they tell you that liberals are not leftists, doesn't mean they are engaging in a No True Scotsman fallacy. It means you haven't engaged enough with them to understand.
I use it intentionally all the time to distance myself from liberals, especially when talking to liberals (it's a pointless distinction to conservatives). It breaks liberal brains a little less often lately than it used to, but while the repetitive conversation about the distinction is annoying, it also usually results in some wheels turning a tiny bit inside them.
Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock is what I think of as an example of turning a good character into a Mary Sue. He's always pulling things out of his ass that he's inexplicably been planning all along, or surprise he's incredible at some random thing that just happens to be crucial at the moment.
Every Sherlock is like that to an extent, but that version was the worst.
Give it a shot again, something changed recently in Proton (I assume) that made Vortex "just work" for me on my Steam Deck. I didn't even need to do any fiddling, I just ran the installer exe from desktop mode using Lutris and whatever Proton was latest, and it installed perfectly. Vortex now runs entirely as expected, even from game mode.
I don't know that we can necessarily rely on bot creators to never implement automated ban appeals.
You got all that when you didn't even finish the first episode? Damn, you are a tough audience.
I thought the show was pretty decent. It wasn't literally perfect, but it was entertaining and beautifully shot. Some of the acting was kinda underwhelming, but some others did a great job IMO.
Especially Morfydd Clark, Joseph Mawle, and Ismael Cruz Córdova as Galadriel, Adar, and Arondir, respectively. Sophia Nomvete as Disa gave one of my favorite performances yet of a Dwarven character, and I enjoyed her scenes immensely.
I'll probably rewatch that show more often than I will the Hobbit movies, which makes it a solid entry by my reckoning, and it's okay that it wasn't perfect.
