I think a lot about how the Ironsides would've been a really potent piece of imagery - the archetypal fascist killing machines of British pop culture, dolled up as tools of the British empire - if not for the fact that Gatiss thinks Churchill's great so they ended up completely meaningless

Here it is. The final 24 hours. You've helped coax banked embers into a steady flame. Tell me, what is one thing you'll bring with you into What-Comes-Next? Seeds? Thread? A good kitchen knife? What will you make of what's left? Together, let's light up the world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

The marvel UK edition of the final issue kills me. GEE IT'S A MYSTERY, WHO COULD IT BE.

It's fine if Naughty Dog employees die from overwork because they simply call the IDF sperm retrieval crew in to jack them off post-mortem so their future descendants can continue the great work (making mediocre prestige TV flavored video games)

I think the only thing that could make me even *comprehend the appeal* of Warhammer 40k at this point is if it contained exactly zero Space Marines.

I won’t lie, I’m really fucked to about this. Yes, I know: “It’s not law, yet!” I don’t care. I don’t fucking care. This is taking something *done to me* as a literal child and attempting to codify it into FUCKING LAW.

It has always bothered the fuck out of me that people who want to be allies will cite a bill's exception for intersex genital mutilation and use that to say that, "It could have been worse. It could have banned cutting the genitals of intersex infants." And I'm like, "That would make it WORSE?"

funniest movie promotion I’ve seen in a while

WE ARE LIVE WITH In Search Of A Perfect World VOYAGE 2 - tonight we play D&D Online, Neverwinter, Ultima Online, and DARK AGE OF CAMELOT! tube it!! twitch.tv/wayneradiotv

one of the funniest things i've seen in caves of qud was when conner and i downloaded a mod that spawned you as a random denizen of qud and we became a skunk, extremely deep under ground, called "wet wet qurubesh"

fucking hell man

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default. And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

jo's a good friend, please help her out

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

is birthday

somehow I only just learned this but last year they added Samsara to the Sims 4?

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people. Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot? What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

i see mario of red green luigi too most yoshis green but some of them blue and i think to myself super mario world

The conscious claws of Doc Ock! 🔴 (Spider-Man 2, 2004) As a huge fan of Doc Ock/Alfred Molina for over 20 years Ive wanted to animate him for a long time! Its not often I animate humans as they can be a bit challenging, but for a rough practice clip Im happy with the turnout! :D

My guilty pleasure is finding videos saying things like this. Just straight up incorrect statements about games like why did x game flop or why you have to play y hidden gem where x is a game that sold well and y is an extremely popular old game

this is why we watch

Palestinians call on everyone to sign the Boycott Xbox pledge today. Viable gaming alternatives exist. Genocide is not a game. Go to nogamesforgenocide.com to sign the pledge and for more details on how to take action.

you know what geoff, i can look past the wave of advertisements. i can look past the gen-ai pandering. i can look past the discontinuing of future class. and i can even look past the wrap it up stuff. but you crossed a line, motherfucker. stay away from miss piggy. first and final warning.

Take this a step further! Someone talks about "is this canon", rejoinder with "whose convention?" because different sects have different canons! Canon is a term for "the accepted works forming the body accepted by this group", not "this is true"! REALLY get up in some fandoms' grill about it!

fandom took "canon" from the Bible, why not also take "apocryphal" to refer to side material in which canon status depends on who/when you ask

It always tickles me when animated media tries to get around the "Oh no the carnivore character needs to eat" dilemma with fish. Do they not also scream. Have they not been blessed with expressive animated faces and therefore the right of sapience. Who deserves life in this twisted cartoon hierarchy

[sees a dragon quest slime] wow this is awesome. this rules.

Fallout London is pretty funny

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

listen. listen to me. libraries are getting indie TTRPGs in circulation. high school teachers are bringing weird stuff to the teenz TTRPG club. we continue to be in a beautiful moment for showing more people the full breadth of what games can be. nurture it by playing & loving games!!! a gift!!!!!

The specific example he gives in here is so funny. Like, couldn't have picked a more self defeating example than photoshop, the piece of software where its users are extremely vocal about literally preferring the version from a decade ago lmao

My dad was too good of a Stanley

Forgot that a new Metroid game coming out means dealing with "Isn't it weird that this main character doesn't talk??" No. It isn't. If something *does* feel weird, it is probably not just the main character not speaking, because it turns out nonverbal people are real and do interact with people
