There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Yesterday I had no idea who Inde Navarrette was, but she is now officially one of the most exciting young talents in Hollywood in my book. Her role in Obsession is legit an all time great.

Alright, Lesnar returning like this is the last straw, I'm taking another break from WWE. Creatives decisions are just a trainwreck right now and TKO's management is dreadful. The product is in the worst place its been in a minute and I have to respond accordingly. I hope they can fix their shit.

Cool that Zero Parades is apparently good for the people that will play it. That's never gonna be me. The corpse of Za/um isn't getting a cent from me and I don't care enough about what they have to say to make use of other means.

Ya know what, the failing of The Boys tv show was as inevitable as the comics, because no matter how much talent is involved in a piece of art, art that endures is built on love and sincerity. When all you have at your core is cynicism and loathing your inevitably going to make dogshit.

I do believe this Italio Calvino fellow truly understands me.

Alright, as much as I think Silent Hill 2 is perfect as is and doesn't need revisiting, if they were ever to make a movie of it (a silly thought that could never happen, I know) Adam Scott would actually be really good casting for James imo. This thought sponsored by Hokum.

So between some conversations I've had with some personal friends and some discourse I've seen on the internet, I had begun to suspect that House of Leaves might have been a bit overrated and I had been so blinded by the gimmick I didn't realize it.

Been getting a bunch of "who sang it better" compilations about Rocky Horro on my tiktok feed and it always makes me laugh how much Tim Curry and Meatloaf utterly decimate the compitition. The amount of charisma and talent in those two alone is just absurd.

as always, you have time for one earnest answer 🌙 can someone else please play titanium court? i urgently need to discuss this game with people

titanium court came at a time at which i had been feeling more and more like games are solidifying as products and not as art and it feels like eating a delicious three course meal full of fresh vegetables after eating only white castle for months

I am on my hands and knees crying, shaking, throwing up. begging everyone i know to play Titanium Court. if i had to describe the gameplay itself i guess i would say "retro match-3 battle puzzle roguelike visual novel". and the gameplay is fun! the gameplay is good! BUT THE WRITING

Man, I sure do love Titanium Court. The vibes, the music, the gameplay, everything about it fits my taste to a tee. This might be my new comfort game. Surely there's no way the game could introduce a devistaringly melancholic meta twist that would make me devestatingly sad hours in right? Right?

Once again singing the praises of the genius design of Kamurocho in the Yakuza games. The only game map I know better at this point is Central Yharnam from bloodborne.

AWESOME video breaking down Mewgenics as an art piece by one of the most insightful gaming critics on YouTube. Absolutley incredible stuff. The section about the OST manages to put into words a lot of thoughts I've had but been unable to articulate.

As someone who personally thought that Anit Sarkeesian's videos weren't particularly well researched or executed, I can freely say the internet's batshit insane reaction was one of the most embarrassing things "gamers" have ever done.

So something that's never quite day right with me in Mass Effect. Mordin's big moment has him singing "Scientist Salarian", a play on "Modern Major General". No shade to the scene itself, its definitely one of the strongest and most emotionally impactful moments in the game. But I have one question.

So I'm watching the Court Jester with Danny Kaye and holy shit, I didn't know the dude could SWASHBUCKLE! That final duel scene is genuinely fantastic.

Scarlet Hollow wears the trappings of a visual novel but in practice it is so complex and you are given so much agency it winds up feeling more like an in depth RPG. Upon completing what's out of the game so far I literally immediately made a new character with different traits.

Time for me to say something controversial unprompted then scamper off into the woods without elaborating. I'm putting together a list of my 100 favorite video games of all time. The Last of Us wasn't even a consideration. There's lone indie devs who capture my interest more than all of Naughty Dog

I just got to the alternative entertainment option in Titanium Court. You are offered an option to skip the final boss of a run in exchange for entertainment, and I dont want to ruin anything, but it is magical. This game is amazing. I sat in stunned silence for like two full minutes after.

Okay, I've been playing Titanium Court, and its already been a serious GOTY contender for me, but I just got to chapter 2, and I dont even know if I know what this game is anymore. I'm frightened, amazed and enthralled. I wish that everyone would start playing and talking about this game.

So there's a fair few changes made in live action One Piece, honestly most of them pretty good, at worst acceptable. But the sickest one is giving Zoro and Usopp some straight up Warhammer 40k chaos soldiers to deal with at the end of drum island.

Crazy to think that out of all the properties that have been and could be adapted to live action, somehow One Piece is the one that NAILED it. Season two is a vast improvement on season 1, and that's saying something as I already lived season 1.

Esoteric Ebb is not Disco Elysium, but I'll be damned if it doesn't come the closest out of the games that have tried. The final couple hours are jaw droppingly good. What a game man. 10/10

I feel like the "What's a paladin" bit in Esoteric Ebb is an intentional reference to Ultima 9, but I just can't be entirely sure. If so, good pull. Bravo.

Watched someone streaming a little of RE9. They scoffed at the yellow labels on breakable wooden crates, then proceeded to miss every single breakable vase, the whole while complaining about the lack of ammo. Absolute cinema. 😂

The Leon sections of Resident Evil Requiem really let you live out the fantasy of being that guy in a movie that hits a security checkpoint where they have to turn in all their weapons and it takes them a full 60 seconds of puking weapons out of god knows where to actually disarm.

Kind of crazy that with Wind Waker nintendo asked "hey, what if we took just a couple steps towards making Gannondorf an actual believable and human character" and then immediately after decided to never ever do that ever again.

The cast of Game Changer are on Nathan Fillion cop show The Rookie? Wait, GAME CHANGER is on Nathan Fillion cop show the rookie? How did this happen? Is this part of the new season? Was Brennan to busy filming his episode if Ted or did he refuse on principal? I need answers LOL

Alright, gonna try some steam next fest demos. Just making a thread here to talk about them.

Been replaying the original Resident Evil 4 and its got me thinking. I'm not one of these people who romanticicizes the past and says theirs no good games coming out any more, but the PS2 era does have games that feel radically different than the games AAA devs are making today.

Watching an episode of Voyager where Harry Kim wake up in an alternate reality where he never went on Voyager and gets arrested by starfleet. Given the nature of this universe and the stuff Starfleet knows about it, I feel like their should be some kind of contingency in place for this.

Sobbing in my apartment on a Monday night over AJ Styles. Uneven night for Raw overall but a legitimately legendary ending. Here's to one of the absolute greatest of all time!

Just a Gogo... #finalfantasy

Oh yeah, Mewgenics is going to destroy my entire life. That is a video game bro.

Have never seen a greater cognitive dissonance than seeing people try to explain why disliking the non white Spanish speaking American actually is inherently lesser than a white man who can't speak Spanish BUT ITS NOT BECAUSE RACISM THERE'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD REASON I SWEAR!

Got the big Calvin and Hobbes collection and it is bananas that Watterson dropped one of the best strips of all time within a month of starting the comic

Growing up is coming to terms with the fact that even when you've been living there for over ten years, your apartment is never truly going to be "home", its just the place where you live.... mostly because my apartment will never be Deep Space Nine's Promenade.

Just started Hitchcocks Strangers on a Train and I've also been reading Crime and Punishment and it's really fascinating the way their thematically overlapping in my mind.

So excited for the inevitable war that's coming with Illinois in prime position for expansion from Bucc-ee's, Quick Trip, Sheetz AND Wawa. Let the bloodbath commence.

I keep on seeing people glaze the fight choreography in the Star Wars prequels and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Like, you want good choreography watch Princess Bride, John Wick, the Raid, Ip Man. That flippy dipped bullshit isn't good choreography. It LOOKS cool but makes no sense whatsoever.

DUDE, FREAKING ALPHA ACADEMY IN THE TAG TEAM TITLE SCENE? OTIS AND TOZAWA STOCKS RISING! LETS RIDE THIS TO THE MOON!

I've been reading October: The Story of the Russian Revolution, and for no particular reason a violent overthrow of a piece of shit, corrupt, broken government is seeming really appealing right now. To be crystal clear, FUCK ice, FUCK Trump and FUCK murdering people in the streets.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”
