It's amazing that 2026's answer to Barbenheimer is going to be MELUNGIA.

there's a non-zero chance that THIS begins the chain of events that delivers us a port of JSRF either way, my Canadian ass is about to pay TOO MUCH FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING this weekend <3

I have never felt more supported in my Hate Of Darren than at this moment

I cannot believe I have been gifted this perfect, unspoiled, unimpeachable gift in my lifelong quest to be Darren Aranofsky's Greatest Hater. I am going to ruin so many dinner parties. I will Become Insufferable. I have never felt so strong, so clear, so focused. cuz dude's a FUCKING HACK

SEGA just dropped an audio drama where the cast of KNUCKLES CHAOTIX (a spinoff game released on the Sega 32x in 1995) solves a missing-persons case in the style of a classic detective story. Also, the creator of Steven Universe composed the theme song. They dropped 2 episodes in the last 2 hours.

Parliament must ban Canadian firms from doing business with ICE Morning File by me

there was this really funny episode of a sitcom about white-collar workers in the mid-2000s. one of them recreated himself in a video game, right down to the same outfit and desk job. he was mocked for the small scale of his imagination. it was called "The Office," and it aired in October 2007.

Scott Adams lost millions of dollars on his attempt to popularize his microwaveable vegetarian burrito: The Dilberito. He pitched it as "the blue jeans of food," which is up there with Vince McMahon insisting the average person didn't know what a "burrito" was in the Food Racist Hall Of Fame.

I made it 3 days on LinkedIn before writing a 1000-word post about how I resent every aspect of how AI is thought about, discussed, and insisted upon on that site. I did this instead of my original goal: Finding freelance marketing/writing clients. Still: This is a new personal record.

if you just change the chorus of bodies by drowning pool to “let the body keep the score” and nothing else the whole song still works quite well, maybe even better

Umami isn't real. Every study "proving" its existence is just describing another sensation we already have a word for. Most descriptions of Umami are usually talking about a food that coats your mouth/tongue and leaves an aftertaste. Which means Umami is a FEELING, not a FLAVOUR.

real Sonic fans know it's short for "Big Naturals The Cat"

hey y'all, huge fans, quick two-part question: 1) Why didn't you call it "Divinitive Edition"? and and 2) Is it too late to call it "Divinitive Edition"? DMs open if you need to chat! love, mike

Of all the ways I've wanted to see an Asian Director get back at Quentin Tarantino by stealing one of HIS ideas without giving credit, "Inviting A Bunch Of Powerful Figures To Normal Night At The Movies" is the one we all deserve.

Andre 3000: “what’s cooler than being cool?” Neil degrasse Tyson at an OutKast concert: “frozen solid in the standard measurement but I would go further as zero kelvin is…” Andre 3000: *signalling to security to remove Neil* alright alright alright alright alright alright…

I finished Metroid Prime 4 last night, and I became a disappointed teacher urging a student to Do Better and Apply Themselves. We may never fully understand the crunch and chaos of its development, but the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is a desert. (Sylux's theme is great, though.)

Social Media Gamer Discourse cannot attempt to discuss Song of Saya after what it just demonstrated with HORSES. it's like signing up for a charity fun run and breaking both legs on the way to the race, and then insisting on bench pressing a thousand pounds from your hospital bed.

WE DID IT PAPAYA GANG #F1

Charles LeClerc is here to swap tyres and crush dreams, and he's all out of tyres. (I HATE THIS)

-Eurovision has its Big 5 countries that provide the most funding and auto-make the finals -Spain (part of the Big 5) said they'd boycott 2026 if Israel wasn't banned -ESG announced a vote to decide Israel's status -When it came time hold the vote, ESG chose instead to NOT HOLD A VOTE -Shit sucks

The year is 2035. My knee fails me and I go tumbling to the ground, disqualifying myself from The World's Biggest Hopscotch Game. I made the upper cutoff, so my wife is returned to me unharmed. But per the rules, Beast Bank has foreclosed on my house. I ask chat for mercy. Fs in chat.

why doesn't the machine that steals whatever i point at also have a feature that points at things for me

so many lapsed and former journalists and writers (myself included) would give ANYTHING for the opportunity to do what we love to do in a stable, sustainable way. but if we literally can't afford to do it, we drift away. watching immoral hacks hoard and despoil these jobs makes me deeply sad/angry.

Terry Crews is now driving the podium trio around the track in a life-sized pink Cadillac made of LEGO He's singing the first verse of "A Thousand Miles" and I'm pretty sure none of these guys have seen White Chicks Everything I just typed could be proof that I'm having a mental breakdown #F1

"What Verstappens in Vegas stays in Vegas!" so help me god the #F1 commentary team will pay for their crimes

Dispatch breaks no new ground, subverts none of its tropes, and contains no huge twists for anyone familiar with its Whole Deal. It's also one of the most confident game narratives in years! We've lost the art of the crowd-pleaser, and it's dope to see devs stick the landing.

Toronto cops are in Riot Prep Position around the SkyDome, always a promising sign heading into the final inning

baseball is suffering

THIS GAME IS EMOTIONAL TORTURE

they finally made video game music for Black people

youtu.be/mi_CgRU63d8?... After 18 innings? This is how it ends?

"The Organ Player in the Dodgers Stadium just played the Attack on Titan Theme Song," and other Things I Said Out Loud To No One At 2AM

I'm exhausted watching this at home in my night clothes. I cannot imagine the creeping chaos that must be unfolding at the SkyDome, where people are just watching this on a big TV, at 2am, in 7-degree weather.

I rarely discuss how MUCH of a hopeless Assassin's Creed fan/apologist I used to be. I'm full of cursed, useless series lore. And that's what gets me: THIS SERIES WAS ALWAYS WOKE AND IT SOLD MILLIONS. The first game stars a Muslim guy and came out the same year as Modern Warfare, for fuck's sake.

DISNEY AFTER THE WALLETS HAVE VOTED: (this is my favorite Heathcliff comic btw)

The final boss of Silksong is ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS. I'm at 100% completion, but I honestly may never finish the game because of this fight. The boss is an ink-black figure who melts into the arena's ink-black floor using ink-black projectiles while ink-black waves obscure the foreground. WHY.

AMERICANS: this is the leadership we want to see from the left. if you're not throwing your body in the way of people harming citizens, are you even serving them? DEMS: we're going to unanimously vote to support the Hate Speech Mascot Remembrance Day, but we'll frown the whole time

I want to write about the Moral Crossroads of Pro Wrestling Fans in the US! The biggest company in the world partnered up with multiple regimes (WWE execs are part of the Trump inner circle; Saudi Arabia will host Wrestlemania 43) AND enshittifies its core product via the new ESPN app.

Despite writing a book about PaRappa the Rapper, I'm not in its wiki page! I am, however, a valuable soldier in the Pro-Rosalina Mario community for pointing out that she wasn't a damsel in distress. Dope! Also: I really liked my Mario Character Deep Dive series for Kotaku. Proud of those pieces.

This essay, by an Egyptian-American former New Yorker staff fact-checker, is an incredible read And incredibly damning Huge recommendation

ANYONE VAGUELY FAMILIAR WITH CHARLIE KIRK: here are some direct quotes from the literal hundreds of thousands of terrible and hateful things he said and did EMPLOYERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA SITES BEFORE BANNING AND FIRING THEM:

I am gifted with prophecy but shunned by the algorithm.

Nation Plans Reveal Party to Determine if Recent Event is "Tragic Accident" or "Politically Motivated"

Each friend and family member that visited us this year has been detained while crossing the border back to the States. My Ohio-born-and-raised MIL had her entire car and phone searched last week. Think about what you're posting on here, and how your future self would explain it. That is all.

Well, somebody updated his Wiki Entry.
