I specifically requested no more metaphors

Horror people turn up for unfamiliar movies with unproven directors and no-name actors. Horror people are the ones who don't use "low-budget" as a pejorative. Horror people will watch horror from 100 years ago. It's not weird that horror people are like this, it's weird that other genre fans aren't.

Been replaying Puppeteer and while the controls are a bit naff, it’s still a genuinely inspired mix of gameplay and whimsy. And the soundtrack! Just incredible.

I think gen Atlas looks amazing but for the life of me, I cannot keep that title in my head. I will be calling it “the big robot game” until it’s in my hands.

Gamers™️ now hate a series for switching from a male protagonist to a female (God of War) Gamers™️ are super excited about a sequel that switches from a female protagonist to a male (Control) I don't think it's "Woke" that they hate...🤔

Dear everyone about to hit me up: Yes, I also thought Stellar Blade 2 gave serious PN03 vibes.

OH MY GOD WOLF AMONG US FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, imma play the fuck out of CrossFire

My toxic trait is that I try to guess the game as the trailer goes. Yes, I could just sit and watch, but no. I must show my knowledge by identifying it before the title comes up. I am insufferable.

Amazing chat with Claude.

I'm not sure what made me think of the Outpost Super Bowl gerbil commercial today, but I want to make sure you're all aware of it because it is magnificent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJlI...

Dancing. Skin care. Having dessert.

Maybe this is a reminder, maybe it's the first you've heard of it, but Play! A Video Game Symphony is an absolute banger of a compilation. Highly recommend it for your Friday: open.spotify.com/album/1dqeo6...

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

So for my job, I'm editing an interview with a guy named John Palfrey, who's an impact investor. These are people who take huge amounts of capital and invest them to make money while also helping people and the planet. Incredible guy. He quotes a Catholic priest who served in Vietnam. (cont)

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

For those few of you who might care: swelling is way down and her energy is back to normal. Huge relief.

Getting rid of the “recently added” category on the menu has turned Game Pass from something I used to check weekly to discover new things into something I now only check if I have a specific game in mind.

@russpitts.bsky.social !!

By the way, for future reference, if your doggo gets stung watch for: Is it swelling really fast or really big? Is it obstructing breathing or swallowing? Is there excessive drooling? Is it very red or hot? If yes, go to the vet RIGHT NOW. If not, wait and see how it goes.

An experienced, well-connected investigative reporter with a great reputation, personal loyalty, and nothing but time is a formidable enemy to assign yourself.

Update: Still swollen. She's otherwise acting normal, if a little low key. Swelling hasn't gotten any worse, but also doesn't seem to have gone down.

I would like to find whoever thought it was a good idea to have Google Chat popups anytime someone edits a doc in Drive and shave off their eyebrows.

Welp, looks like Bridget got stung by a bee or bitten by a fire ant. Poor pup’s muzzle is swollen. My poor old gal can’t catch a break lately. (Pic from this morning before whatever happened.)

Apologies. Phranque.

Also, literally everyone is going to call it God of War: Wifey

Would die for Frank, tbqh.

OH MY GOD UNTIL DAWN 2 I’M SO HAPPY

Ok, the Stuntman game is a killer idea.

Happy pride peeps o7

I’m waiting in line at the store for ages. “Groove Is in the Heart” comes on. I start mouthing the words and doing the moves from the video (as one does). Dude in front of me looks at me and gives me a blank stare, then shakes his head. Sir, the world is on FIRE. You will not rob me of this joy.

Nearly 40 years after a guy spent all of senior year flirting with me, I realized "Oh, hey, this guy liked me and I liked him back."

Not Chris Tucker, but allow me to share my favorite Fifth Element scene: Ok, one of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mzf...

Few things are as utterly perfect as Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element. We take it for granted as iconic now, but imagine making those choices at the time. Brave move on his part, honestly. But absolutely perfect foil for Bruce Willis.

This story goes places.

Young friends, I am begging you: Do not use "u" (as in "hey, can u do this, pls?") in work emails. Take the nanosecond to type out the whole word.

Did people like Dead Island 2? I feel like it didn’t make much of an impact. Was thinking of playing it. Loved the first one, even if the ending was a bit naff.

I have never, in my life, been in a car with someone and heard anyone say, “Who’s on aux?”

A bear was caught red-handed breaking into a parked U-Haul van in North Carolina and making off with a bag in its mouth. abcnews.com/video/133461...

We did not deserve the PS Vita. It was too good.

Went to visit some friends today.

So it was a *bougie* turkey sandwich. (And it was incredible.)

I have PlayStation Premium for the month, so I spent sometime with old friends: Tokyo Jungle and Hot Shots Golf. I miss that kind of simplicity and weirdness.

Playing a game and not loving it. Get a trophy for finishing a chapter. Check the trophy list and hoo boy, it tells the tale: 78% finished the prologue 54% finished Chapter 1 42% finished Chapter 2 28% finished Chapter 3

Remember when everyone was obsessed with Fall Guys?

My husband and I play Heads Up while he’s cooking. We often play movie categories. Him tonight: “I’m never going to get your Power Rangers clues. You keep trying and they never work.”

Replaying AstroBot and the Horizon, Uncharted, and God of War levels make me want to replay Horizon, Uncharted, and God of War. Especially Zero Dawn.
