ain't no doubt quentin tarantino had an axe to grind.
I’ve come across enough of them over the years (and not just in Hollywood) who want to mansplain Bruce Lee to me and use Bruce Lee when and how it suits them without acknowledging his humanity, his legacy, or his family in the process that a bit of a pattern has emerged, I’m … not saying that no one is allowed to have a negative opinion of Bruce Lee. I’m saying your opinion might be colored by personal or cultural bias, and that there’s a pattern.

i don't blame his daughter for getting so mad. bruce lee was a culturally significant figure whereas quentin tarantino is b movie director.

it was hardly criticism if quentin put it in his movie to boost ticket sales.

The whole movie (like just about any other movie) is about making money, that's a business. It does not make it wrong.

In this particular movie, we know it's a fiction. This is not a thesis presented in some peer reviewed journal. Enjoy and get over it.

it made no sense considering quentin is in love with the time period and bruce lee was a key figure at the time.

I just rescued the diamond city detective as well. I am trying to save up caps for special items. I have about six thousand right now. I spend a bit on stim packs. I have about 100 now. I am just exploring for a while. There is supposed to be a really good sword in Pickman's gallery. I want it. Other than general chao's revenge sword, I usually use a combat shotgun, and I have a hunting rifle for longer shots. I haven't started any settlements. I use the underground cellar or bunker in sanctuary a couple houses over from his old home to sleep and store stuff.

it looks like the helldivers 2 steam community won the battle. sony backed down about the requirement to sign into psn from steam. that being said almost 250000 steam players left negative reviews so sony had to take the hint.

the whole reason i play games is to "kill time in an entertaining way".... building a town from the ground up is pretty fun.... i found a farm that has an all ghoul population called The Slog.... i'm gonna try to fix them up when i'm done with Sanctuary and the gas station.... i might reopen the drive-in theatre too.... if i do anything "super amazing", i'll make a video and post it.... :D

i agree that games are a distraction, a way to occupy the mind for awhile. which is why i sometimes enjoy a good programming game that challenges the brain. the grind in programming games is a totally different experience. having programming experience is super helpful in terms of logic but solving (very) abstract puzzles is probably the key skill.

i enjoyed shenzhen IO for around 34 hours. the reality is i didn't get very far because i finally realized i was banging my head trying to optimize my solutions when in terms of gameplay i hadn't made it to the part of the game where those types of solutions were available yet. i wish the developers had warned me that the players on the leaderboards had those solutions because they unlocked those components later on:(

p.s. i was nowhere near the level of this video.
