"Brace for impact!"

The other element here, which is very important, is that you have to balance the desire for both the fans and the network to keep the show going as long as possible with the fact that storytelling requires an ending, but you ideally want to end just at the point where the premise has run its course.

This thread applies to far more than just gaming. If you have a public-facing facility and aren't asking people who display antisocial behaviors to leave, pretty soon all you are going to have are the antisocial customers.

ive locked mr beast in a room adn if he can stay there for 100 days he can stay there for 1000 days i dotn care

"People shouldn't have nostalgia for this" always reads to me a little like "how dare you be somewhere between the ages of eight and twelve at the wrong time of human history."

It's actually more agility than raw strength.

Since this wuss can't bother to open up- no, this is not true, and I do not mean "It is not the most accurate phrasing of a statement", I mean that it is a lie. The Nazis were, at best, inspired by reading about Westward Expansion in the form of trashy translated paperbacks.

I saw you in a movie back in '92, You wore high heels and had two bald guys nailing you; I was too young but my libido still got through Your clips were uploaded to Pornhub in a stream, You talked about it but looked like you'd want to scream, And not the ways you did in movies, it would seem.

joke's on you I would have picked veruca anyway

Thinking modding video games to give characters bigger boobs is weird is not the same as right-wing puritanical censorship, guys

believing that they could have gotten more out of republicans means believing that every piece of reporting from the entire duration of the shutdown about republican unwillingness to compromise was wrong. now, maybe that's true. but you have to acknowledge that as the starting position.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

There is an actual bad thing that happened, I am begging you to focus on the actual bad thing and not the abstract of "history will remember us as such-and-such" that you're never even going to see.

Everyone wants an explanation for why the films that have been a defining force of cinema for the past 17 years feel old to them and yet they all want that explanation to not include the part where they've been a defining force of cinema for the past 17 years.

How I am walking out of 2025

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

[with my last breath] TUSK!

A horse's answer for a stomach ache is to lay down and die

"I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders and boundaries... a world where anything is possible."

[shoving yeats into a locker] how’s the gyre fuckass

The Touch of Satan is a great movie because unlike so many other films that make you wonder where the fish lives, it tells you right up front.

Fell For It Again Club

She is still out there preaching the SAME EXACT HATE. That hasn't changed. She's still a monstrous bigot. You absolutely, 100% do not have to hand it to her. She didn't "see the errors of her ways." She saw a glass ceiling and she's making a gambit.

idk if anybody noticed but every porn website's ads have changed from dick pill scams to "try out our suspiciously aged chatbot who has no concept of consent" but sure let's focus on the intellectual property concerns and practically nonexistent environmental impacts

"Are nachos a casserole?" "Are fries a pasta?" You have forgotten that things can be things in themselves and you're going to dog-walk yourselves into discourse about "is food food?"

I don't even dislike Avatar, I haven't watched it, and I find it kind of fascinating that it has this weird black hole of cultural impact. Like, that is interesting and unusual! No one makes a case for watching it even when they feel the need to defend it for some reason!

One of the problems I think a lot of people struggle with on social media is that posting is a performance, and it's really easy for people who don't actually get that it is a performance to either go too authentic or too inauthentic or think that something reads as banter when it really doesn't.

"Serpentor-ass Idea" would 100% be an internal COBRA missive after their command structure was torn asunder by a man dressed like an evil executive from Kamen Rider

Boxing Day Tradition!📦🥊 Gonna be feeling sore after this...

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, who CANNOT die, who watches as each year brings new horrors untold, new suffering wrought upon his frame, longing for the release of finality and for what he truly believes he deserves, a quietus to end the calamity of so long life, gazes in the horror of sight upon...

DO THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVES FUCK: A very stupid thread about a book series I like. With love to @cobaltlily.bsky.social and @konecho.bsky.social for the inspiration.

why is this cut like either a horror trailer or an attempt to line up with Cruel Angel's Thesis

He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He's going to feed you to an ocelot So be good or not, who fucking cares any more

post a random picture or else everything will go bad in 2026.

The thing about people saying that they would like to pay more money for fewer games that are shorter with worse graphics is that they are, by and large, lying. The ones who aren't have already been captured by Itch

"I am Micharan Ovelia Khelina de Danasorian, Knight of the Holy See, and I will be my city's first line of defense, not its last!" #ffxiv

This is true. And honestly, in 2026, the best reasons to play around with AI will be: 1. To figure out if you can use it to do less of the most tedious and toilsome work 2. To know its limitations so you can push back when someone says you "have" to use it

"I am Micharan Ovelia Khelina de Danasorian, Knight of the Holy See, and I will be my city's first line of defense, not its last!" #ffxiv

The quote I always liked but cannot immediately source was that atheism is like fire safety. It may seem obvious and sensible, but there's no need to join a club to discuss it.

Folks, I promise you, "I won't play that game because I heard management used AI somewhere in the process" sounds just as absurd as "I won't play that game because I heard it was kinda woke."

Been quite enjoying Thew's reviews for a bit now, he's got a great energy and I love seeing someone else who's as chuffed about the original Tankor toy as I am. Show-accurate? No, but he's a great beast of a toy just the same!

These are not particularly good screenshots but if you recognize what I did here you will either think "that's hilarious" or your eye will begin twitching, I forced @draculokeanos.bsky.social to see it and now you have to as well.

White Mage in black and tan, Black Mage in shades of blue, Red Mage in green and black, Blue Mage in burgundy.

They funny thing is that if you asked me in 2015, I probably would have said Undertale, but it would have been begrudging even then. I'm not sure what I would say now, but I definitely would no longer give that game the nod. A lot of my 2015 candidates I would disqualify.

Time to stop and appreciate Tracy Chapman.
