someone at bluepoint was working on a Bloodborne remake. This could not stand

How I tend to think about this, stolen from tumblr

I recently received “The Bomber Mafia” as a birthday gift (heh). It was bad, so bad that I believe it cannot be read as a reliable account of strategic bombing in World War II. In so many ways, it demonstrates the worst tendencies of the “pop history” genre. My review (and latest)⬇️

Golden Compass I think? They just fucked it up so hard that not even armored bears could fix it.

You know the Star Wars ANH novelization will fall on the wrong side of that line later this year to give you an idea of how long ago 50 years is.

Weekly update: LARGE LAD AND BALD BOY is still great

Going to go slay Edwaagh IV, the Duke of Orc, and restart the Hundred Years War

The Office: Death Star (-1BBY) is money being left on the table folks.

It is late 2026. Enraged at current company leadership, David Ellison has ordered Changes at Paramount. New CEO Bari Weiss has commissioned a new Star Trek that is more in line with "company values " I need your writer's room pitches or the healthcare policy gets it

Painted a Battlemech instead of Discoursing

"People being aggressive and mean to me on bsky is making me less likely to support their candidate" said the most antisocial crybully known to man

It's a bit "Man Always Gets Little Rush Out Of Telling People John Lennon Beat Wife" but I just love popping the bubble on what happened to Sparta after said If.

A politician sees an activist arguing with a Stalinist on social media and asks what the activst is after. He says he's trying to get more votes for liberal policy and the politician joins the argument.

The longer any discussion in a fan space goes on, the chance someone attempts to turn an opinion on quality into being representative of a political tendency approaches 100%.

The thing with Musk is that he really is a man completely without physical culture, desperately holding onto the idea of what an 18 year old on Reddit in 2010 thinks is cool. He can't even be bothered to play his own video games! But this is by his own choice

I do not like how "this is AI written, according to AI" is becoming the standard for telling something is fake rage bait instead of "I'm not a gullible fucking idiot."

Not a full thaw yet but it's getting there

Long Alexandria is coming. you cannot escape

And they are all in your mentions

Sometimes, a good name is the most important thing.

I'm sorry, you gotta give Fivey Fox back to Nate Silver, he cannot be being seen with this kind of dumb take in tow

Excuse me, Trauma Team Operator

Finally getting into the master's toolshed and wow, it's like a Harbor Freight catalog in here

Actually kind of a perfect choice for Monologues Mike

Post a banger that's not in English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4bX...

Okay hear me out; Romulan Flashman. We follow a young Romulan officer who was sent to join Starfleet as part of a diplomatic thawing and general exchange that *everybody knows is a spy.* Except they basically keep falling backwards into Heroic Kirk Action despite their best efforts to the contrary.

The dentist should not be allowed to have Hurts So Good on the speaker system

Feeling my way around a law of social media which is that any post about someone else's tweets which you feel the need to add "please do not harass this person" should simply not be made in the first place. The large poster eye of Sauron is real, hell, the small time poster eye of Sauron is too.

The glorious birth of a Medusa Head as it emerges to leave for its traditional clocktower

I do think there's a real demand for serial written fiction as seen by the explosion of fanfic and royal road slop over the past decades. The main question of how you create a logistical stream for providing it and paying authors without becoming a lowest denomination service

We're going to shrink the GOP caucus so much you can drown it in a bathtub

Hedge Knight is rediscovering the ancient art of "what if we just did good low level character work in a bounded setting" and goddamn if I ain't enjoying it.

I guess the way I'd sum up the whole discourse is that I see no good value in practicing cruelty but that does not seem to be a shared opinion when it comes to how we deal with AI.

Okay now I'm worried what a good producer could do with AI

The Nazis entered this cycle under the rather childish delusion that they were going to redistrict everybody else and nobody was going to redistrict them. They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

Long Alexandria coming for you

One day society will rise up from the tyranny of CACs

Even if it's delivered by DoorDash you often save 20% straight up by using their site as they don't have to pay the pass through fee

The Saga of Overwatch is crazy because the developers do not seem to have had a single idea since the initial launch a decade ago and yet it persists.

GM.

"Improve pace of play, free agency, and fan engagement by having a 1/40,000 chance the umpire shoots the batter" still is one of the best shitposts I've ever seen www.reddit.com/r/baseball/c...

Big man on town

If Leviathan is the state as monopoly of violence, then Omelas is the child as the monopsony of violence

Just one more dumpster bro, all those government thugs in tactical gear will see that we really mean business if we set just one more fire. We're just one fire away from The Revolution, I swear to you. Anyway, read theory.

More games featuring fungus people you cowards. Actually got me all the way through the otherwise extremely mid Avowed

Helen of Troy looking like Lupita Nyong'o is incredibly unlikely, would require a black swan event

For reasons I suffered through the Fifty Shades series, books stuffed to bursting with insipid emails from the billionaire love interest. I now know that in the real world they would have been less 'I am the erotic master of your fate' and more 'how y our pumpum? Wett i hop'
