I'm studying to be a polyglot of programming, while trying to write stories in English. Also, I'm trying to take time to enjoy my life in NYC.

Plotted the CPI-U of Honolulu vs NYC for 2013 - 2016 as part of my project. This is why I never experienced sticker shock when I moved to NYC

It's not even that I think the Comptroller's report is wrong, https://t.co/Pi09z29VN4, but their report is not like an Rpubs with reproducible code. It's just a pdf. How exactly did they control for things? What were the dummy variables?

Kinda have to side with AirDNA on this. What variables you choose for analysis matter.

The report by the city comptroller made mistakes in how it interpreted the data, according to the company upon whose data the report was based.

Really, Flash Thompson's #Venom is probably simpler to adapt since his struggle can be visualized through his wheelchair.

And so the emotional crux has to be Eddie trying to reign in the symbiote, after realizing it is only reflecting his own damaged psyche

The symbiote offers Eddie power, and new means of investigating, and his star returns on the rise, but the symbiote is also a corrupting force, quick to resort to violence, and becomes maligned in the media

It'd be more interesting if Eddie started out as a fallen figure, maybe one who lied about a high profile story, and stumbles upon the symbiote as he tries to make a comeback

It seems like the movie is going for Eddie Brock, noble reporter, but the most compelling thing about #Venom as a character is his redemption/healing

Eddie Brock might be the first #Venom, but he's the most difficult to carry a solo movie. So much of their character is tied to Spider-Man/other symbiotes

It's also the first Zelda game I've played since Link to the Past--or no, I randomly picked up Minnish Cap for my DS at some point. I liked it, but I wish there was just more?

Breath of the Wild was such a game of contradictions to me. Beautiful world for exploring, but so empty; not terribly interesting side quests, which is good and bad; variety of weapons, but poor inventory management; etc, etc.

Obviously there’s more I could’ve added: Super Mario Bros for getting me into gaming, Tetris for being the game my dad loved, Metal Gear Solid for the 1st cinematic experience I ever had gaming, WoW for being a bonding period between me and my wife, etc.

SFII is my arcade days. FFVII brought be back to console gaming. KOTOR blew my mind. Dark Souls blew my mind again. #GamesStruck4

This was the dumbest main event. Brock does I don’t know how many F5’s, but never once considers his Kimura lock?
