I would pay money to read Clark Kent’s anti-gacha op-ed.

My matches in Pokémon Champions lately have either been Sisyphean levels of uphill or so easy it feels like my opponents are purposefully throwing. But there’s no team chat, so ig it’s still better than 90% of competitive games.

Char: I’m going to hit the Earth with a big rock, like with the dinosaurs. Mineva: What a nuanced and tragic figure. Full Frontal: What if we made an economic exclusion zone, so that we can sustain ourselves independent of the Earth Federation? Mineva: Truly, he has only inherited Char’s madness.

Tbf I bet Amuro could have avoided the whole Londo Bell thing if he also had a bikini, a BBL, a sugar daddy, and a penthouse pool

Gundam Hathaway is basically about how after you watch Char's Counter Attack you're going to be thinking about it for the rest of your life

Hideo Kojima: Do you think love can bloom on a battlefield? Yoshiyuki Tomino: Do you think love can bloom *off* a battlefield?

Set up a Politoed drizzle team in Pokémon Champions. Really enjoying this game so far. S’like all the mind games of a fighting game but built for my 30 or 40 something reflexes.

Back in New York and started patch 7.5. If Chort has no fans, I'm dead.

Extremely funny that this, from 1627, is indistinguishable in message from modern RETVRN / masculinity podcasters.

Just got a 5 star on the most important gacha pull of my life (my mom’s safety deposit box)

In the hometown right now because of reasons. Pleasantly surprised at how many businesses seem to have survived COVID. Always floored by how little space is it a premium out here.

the word "aura" is derived from "auron", a character from popular playstation two game "final fantasy x", and means "embodying a state where you are cool like auron"

What are the odds that the new Star Fox game is another 64 remake because they knew what making a Vtuber avatar for Krystal would unleash onto the world

Why does Fox look like he’s always being shot from the same angle my in-laws use for facetime

simply the addition of "a double jump, he can do" to Austin's vernacular in A More Civilized Age has been so so important to that podcast.

PIVOT

My Star Wars Day hot take is they should make more movies where Mark Hamill acts opposite puppets

the ending of resident evil should be chris redfield and blue umbrella succeeding in their war to eradicate bioweapons leading to the rise of robotics technology and the reveal it was a mega man prequel all along

The Angel of Independence and other public monuments and features around Chapultepec Park. Big Prospect Park vibes there, but with enough food that it’s kind of like Smorgasburg every day.

Desperately waiting for the follow-up from someone who can measure dissolved gasses

me when i get shot

Some choice photos from Lucha Libre last night. Was a special event: Mexico’s CMLL vs. the US’ MLW. The Americans were really good sports about playing heels, and everyone was clearly having a lot of fun. We managed to get near ringside seats, and the stunts were super impressive up close!

Took a boat ride through Xochimilco, a large remnant of the lake Mexico City was built on. Went to the ecological zone, which was quieter and had a bit more wildlife. Visited an axolotl sanctuary while there, and met the owner’s very friendly cat.

The Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico City is a fascinatingly direct way to see the effects of colonialism. It features the unfortunately sparse remains of Tenochtitlan, as much of it was scavenged by the Spanish for building material.

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

Heard about Paste Games. Lots of talented writers got a uniquely cooperative platform there. Very weird to learn while on vacation that the article that my husband first heard my name from is on AV Club now. www.avclub.com/nier-auotoma...

Casa Azul unfortunately feels a bit hagiographic and like it sanitizes away a lot of Frida Kahlo’s political (particularly communist) activism, but some of the artifacts there give you a fascinating look at how disability impacted her art and personal presentation.

Museo Anahuacali in Mexico City is sick. A pre-hispanic collection arranged by Diego Rivera and supplemented by his own artwork, ultimately leading to a strong anti-colonial communist message.

the onion's called shot will end up being true no matter what

People keep saying you can’t do Mega Man X in 3D when the template already exists

Sonic Battle, is that you?

Finished Fellowship of the Ring (the book). Quick ranking of the Company of the Ring based on how much I like them. S: Gandalf, Sam A: Gimli (who is so much cooler in the books), Aragorn B: Merry, Frodo C: Legolas (who is less cool in the books) D: Boromir F: Pippin (shoulda brought Glorfindel)

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Went to Teotihuacan today! Massive area, but well worth seeing the whole thing. My favorite part, El Templo de Quetzlcóatl, is far away from the two bigger pyramids, and I don’t think any guided tours would have taken us there. I’m glad we arranged our own visit.

Estoy in Mexico City por una semana! Es muy bonita. Hoy vimos un ballet y fuimos al Museo del Templo Mayor.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Why did Mr. AI make it sound like he was about to hire everyone who attended FanFest right then and there lmao

Free trial through Shadowbringers has the same vibes as when Gundaminfo puts all of Turn A on YouTube I will not explain further

You can’t fool me, the new Ultimate is buying a PS5 before 8.3 comes out

what is an at field but a line on the floor

Oh wait lmao it’s technically another Yoko Taro crossover isn’t it

I could be cynical but imagine Cid getting to see Unit 1

Youtubers are going to make bank on “Reborn Mode or Evolved Mode” explainers

“Same region player matching” Sweet, now my pingless east coast ass can play with even more Californians

Yoshi-P putting the hammer to every “break class in case of emergency” box he has in one 5 minute sprint

How many times are we just gonna keep doing Shadowbringers again
