I'm glad The Onion is out here reporting facts like how the G train doesn't exist. I fucking knew it.

Happy Crimbo Limbo, I just remembered I haven't taken any vitamins for a week

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

While we're posting spoilers, one more for Stranger Things: At this point Kali could be looking directly into the camera holding a neon sign that says "I AM A FED" and I'm pretty sure the entire cast still wouldn't clock it. Including, somehow, the guy who went to 'Nam and was a NYPD detective.

Mild Spoilers for Fallout S2E2: I STILL feel like the Brotherhood of Steel plotline is kinda disjointed but I am praying on the Aunty to be directly involved in Arthur Maxson's downfall.

Did early Xmas gifts with @alphaz3r0.bsky.social and I gotta say, it's nice when your partner encourages you to get weirder.

Katycats and Swifties really spent this whole year competing to see who has the most embarrassing fave just for the Barbs to come in with the steel chair at the last minute. Yeesh.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I mean this is deeply antithetical to Christ's teachings and the anti-excess stance meant to be at the foundation of Protestant-based faith but from a theatre production perspective it's kinda funny.

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

The speed at which Larian went from "funky game studio everyone likes cuz they let you smooch the traumatized twinky vampire" to the whole entire trashfire we're currently seeing is...something. My heart's with the employees who have been putting up with this for longer than the public knew.

If you can afford a $3 million dollar home then you can afford the taxes on it. If you don't wanna pay taxes then move and stop forcing your NIMBY bullshit on the rest of us. If you can't afford taxes then it's time to admit your property is overvalued and support policies addressing root causes!

No but why did everyone on the internet say "yeah you can just go to the bathroom during Ariana's song" and not mention the entire song is filmed like that one part at the end of 2001 where Bowman is in the anomaly.

Benoit Blanc always finds the one decent person enmeshed in some viper’s nest who deserves justice they can’t get on their own and who the police can’t or won’t help. in real life we don’t have easy access to people like that. that’s why so many of us find comfort in the murder mystery genre

larians recruitment process features prominently in this:

If I had a nickel for every time the Wicked movies had references to 2001: A Space Odyssey for absolutely no reason, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but I would still ask Jon M. Chu why he did that.

Two tickets for FNAF 2 please

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

U.S. plan to inspect Canadians’ social media overwhelmed by Peter Mansbridge thirst traps

This entire weekend

Idk who needs to hear this, but talking to blorbo on the plagerism machine is crossing the picket line.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Come to the post-apocalyptic Appalachians in a few minutes for an arse kicking!

I think we should be calling this out for the misogynistic jealousy it is, but it's also a skill issue on OP's part. Once you start playing with people who actually know how to talk to other human beings outside the internet, the spectrum of theatre kids vs military strategists becomes a horseshoe.

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

The letterboxd reviews for this will cause World Peace.

I'm of multiple minds about how TGA went yesterday. Ex33's sweep was earned and we need more games like it to hold the line against the corporate circlejerk these events are otherwise. I wish DS2 could have gotten *some* flowers too, but I don't think Geoff deserves to be the guy to give them.

Ok so I guess all it takes for Geoff to stop glazing Kojima and pay attention to the rest of the gaming industry is - (checks notes) - consistently create games as good as Ex33 every year. Sounds legit.

The what fuck is Werner Herzog doing

Oh. Great. I'm sure all the new Deadpool mains in Rivals will be very good players who actually do the objective.

I'm just gonna say it, if DS2 had won these awards they wouldn't be rushing through them to make more time for ads.

They just gave out 4 awards in less time it took to show the Lego Batman trailer What are we doing here guys

I mean this without shade but the No Man's Sky comeback needs to be studied in every PR degree program

Disney really produced Andor and then decided to non-ironically endorse all the stuff the show explicitly explains is bad. Like. I know why. I know capitalists sell their own critiques to us so they can continue to profit. But I'm tired, man.

please support writers and artists and musicians and all the people who are doing the actual labor to create interesting, intentional work

I can't elaborate on this but Sonic is culturally California-coded so it makes sense why him having a gun is weird but Kirby is a blue dot from a deeply red state, but also the creature your peepaw warns you about when you go to the hills at night. So really at that point a gun is a non event.

there's what...only a few weeks until 2026? Do yourself a favour, for the old men (and Big Mama)

The domino meme where the little one is "it kinda sucks that almost everything we're forced to read in school was written by drunk white men cheating on their wives" and the big one is "Actually book bans are good" and the person pushing the dominos is cozy booktokers

I just realized I can't talk shit about the cast of Wicked for how they act in public because I go to a fan convention for a video game franchise about gay war criminals and that's basically how we communicate with each other on a normal Thursday night.

I haven't seen Hazbin season 2 yet but I want a plot twist where Lilith has a girlfriend and it's, like, Eve just so I don't have to keep being subjected to people's "ACKSHULLY Lilith is a cool girlboss bride of Satan and Eve is a dumb stinky submissive tradwife" takes.

One goddamn thing after another.

So all I can really say about the entire entertainment industry coming creepily close to monopolizing is to please try as much as you can to support art made outside of it. It will be good for both your brain and our society.

My annoying trait as a west coast Fallout lore enjoyer is that FO76 is still fine and the Burning Springs update is fun.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
