@Knytie @JAYGAMING029 Part 2 is actually fantastic. Even knowing a certain character’s fate heading into playing it, the narrative and the way it unfolds is remarkable.

@JAYGAMING029 Somehow to this day a game that sits in my top 10 of all time, I’ve never once launched Part 2 even thing it’s in my library😂

@BMcSport Wild to have Ireland playing at a 25k capacity stadium. Perhaps they perceived this as a slight against them and that’s why they’re going so hard for Massimo?

@kikegames97 The snoozefest of a clip you posted is supposed to win people over to this game???

@TheTravelTinker @DomTheBomb There will be curveballs. That is way too clear-cut for Neil.

IRFU Reportedly Close To Convincing Australia's Top Prospect To Make Ireland Switch
This would be an incredible coup 🤯

@Jeremyakee Alex can’t even string together a cohesive sentence. ‘Tolkien is weak thinker because no redemption therefore not a Christian’.
Critical thinking tends to lead one away from religion.
A great thinker doesn’t need a hero.

There is a passage in The Two Towers which is arguably among the most important across the books.
Frodo and Sam are asleep outside the entrance to Shelob's lair when Smeagol sidles up to Frodo. Tolkien writes that anyone who saw him would have thought was just a very tired old hobbit. He is written in such affectionate terms here. It is clear that in this moment Smeagol was very close to embracing the Good. But Sam wakes up, assumes the worst about his intentions, and that's that. Smeagol was killed in that moment and Gollum was what remained.
The movies could and should have included this scene. It would have added SO MUCH depth to the already deep on screen character of Smeagol/Gollum.
We all wrestle with the good and evil in our own hearts. Not everyone wins that match. That is the lesson of Gollum in the books and movies alike.

@agingroy @JuneSummers__ And endo is not a vanity issue. Can be crippling.

You're pointing at something real.
Endometriosis affects ~190 million women, takes 7-10 years on average to diagnose, and there's been almost nothing new therapeutically for years. That's not acceptable.
The distinction I'd draw: clascoterone and rezpegaldesleukin were funded by private biotech capital betting on large addressable markets. Endometriosis needs more public research funding. Both can be true simultaneously.

For 28 years, if you were losing your hair, you had two choices. Minoxidil (a foam, works for about 1 in 3 men). Finasteride (a pill, works better but can cause sexual side effects). That's it. Nothing else since 1997.
Two new drugs just arrived, and they work in completely different ways.
This one (rezpegaldesleukin) is for people whose immune system attacks their own hair follicles. It retrains the immune system to stop.
In the Phase 2b trial, patients grew back scalp hair, and half also regrew their eyebrows and eyelashes. @US_FDA gave it Fast Track.
The other (clascoterone) is a cream for the common baldness men get with age. It blocks the hormone responsible, but only on your scalp.
No pills. No effect on sexual function. Tested in 1,465 people across two Phase 3 trials: more than 5x the hair growth of placebo.
87 million Americans deal with one of these two conditions. After nearly three decades with nothing new, both showed up in the same year.

There are some great case studies from the deck, too This is after 36 weeks with Nektar's Il-2 receptor agonist, Rezpegaldesleukin, in a patient with alopecia areata

@hemen78 @OscarPiastri Seriously small penis energy there mate. STFU and let the guy enjoy finally be able to race this season.
English

Oscar finally bags a trophy and we’re supposed to act like it’s the second coming 😭
“First laps, first trophy” my ass — the McLaren was literally the only car on the grid that didn’t have to fight for its life. Handed the fastest machine all weekend and still needed the safety car lottery to seal it. Congrats kid, but let’s not pretend this was some generational masterclass.
Real ones know the car carried harder than the driver did 🔥

@rugby_podcast The Reds have maybe two players with decent post-contact meters. Zero leg drive from most of them. Harry Wilson just gets airborne and bounced around. Tim Ryan is a paper man. They got absolutely manhandled by the Canes.
English

@BMcSport An utterly impotent and incompetent outing from the Reds.
English

The questions about the Hurricanes only beating bottom 5 teams were valid...
but this win suggests they'll be OK against the top 6!

@Shpeshal_Nick Mate, you don’t actually think OUR prices aren’t going up as well, do you? They just never bother to list us on these things. Aus prices are absolutely going up. Probably an amount greater than the exchange rate equivalent.
English

@Nitroid I’m 100% serious. I’ve replayed one game in the last 20 years. Movies aren’t a fair comparison. You can’t knock out a game in 2.5hrs. Books, maybe, depending on the book.
Playing an entire game again when there are plenty of solid new games? Hell no.
English

@TurboJJones You can't be serious. That's like asking why anyone would watch old movies or read classic literature. There's a HUGE catalogue of games from those generations, many of which are far better than what's being made today.
English

Sadly, this will likely the be the last generation of PlayStation that I opt into. I've been on board since the PS1, but with rising costs, mandatory subscriptions, and a lack of meaningful incentives (seriously, still no backwards compatibility?), there's just no value left.

@gvbrielvvllone @oliver_drk Used ps5’s will absolutely shoot up in price by almost the equivalent price hike.

@oliver_drk i was waiting to get a ps5 for gta 6. i have a series s (i like game pass and dont care for power) but i know gta 6 will be better on ps5. hopefully used ps5s dont shoot up in price 😭

@alexbward Do you honestly think Verstappen would be sorry to not have to do pressers?
English

F1 journalists should stop interviews with Max Verstappen until he apologizes and takes a question from the reporter nytimes.com/athletic/71485…
