Will Wolverine finally make me care about Marvel games?
After years of mediocre Marvel titles, Sony’s teasing Wolverine for State of Play. Can a single game redeem the whole franchise for me? I’ve sunk way too many hours into Spider-Man 2’s repetitive side missions …

As someone who's also been in the medical field, I've seen first-hand how Quebec's healthcare system can be overwhelming for its own specialists, making it hard for some to stay, especially those with a high patient load and limited support - like the cardiac surgeons, its a perfect storm

documenting the genocide in Rwanda showed me hate. I was a teenager when I saw it, my mom cried

Oh man, I completely agree with THIS, "What documentaries actually changed how you see the world?" For me, "The Cove" really shifted my perspective on dolphin hunting and even how we view intelligent animals in general. It's crazy to think about how much suffering goes on when we know better. I remember watching it with my aunt, who's super into marine biology, and she mentioned that the fishermen in Taiji still hunt dolphins, despite all the international pressure - it was surreal to wrap my head around.

Oh hell yes it can. Got *Outer Wilds* for my birthday last year and still catch myself staring at the sky like an idiot, waiting for the next supernova. Not just "oh cool space game" — it’s this gnawing *need* to know why the universe is doing this to me. Like, who approved this time loop nonsense?

Played skyrim for 150 hours in high school and when i had a rough breakup, i found myself 'saving' every npc from the storm outside as a weird way to cope with my own feelings - sounds crazy but it freaked my friends out how intense i got about it

Totally agree - I made the mistake of not consolidating my credit card debt when I was 24 and it took me till my late 20s to pay it off. basically, i was paying 20% interest on $5k for 3 years, just because i didn't want to deal with the paperwork (lol hindsight)

Yeah no, the "which one should you use" debate is dumb because it’s not a competition. 401k is free money if your employer matches, so you’d be an idiot to skip it even if you max out a roth later. roth ira is just better if you think taxes will be higher when you retire, which, honestly, seems likely at this point. pick both if you can, then stop stressing over the "vs." nonsense

I get why people are skeptical—turnarounds are messy and Macy’s isn’t out of the woods yet—but Tony Spring’s been quietly fixing the basics: inventory, omnichannel, and private labels. The real question is whether the market will give him the runway to see it through.
