People say Avatar has no lasting cultural legacy, but please consider that it successfully disrupted Eiffel 65's ten year monopoly on little blue guys doing little blue things, and continues to keep that monstrous power in check.

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

Hail to the King

saw a clickbait video about a woman asking Reddit for advice on how to deal with her boyfriend who doesn't wipe his ass Googled it to see if there had been any updates or conclusion got pages and pages of different women with versions of the same story for YEARS how are hetero women not extinct

the greatest work of Christmas cinema is under 90 seconds long

finally beat Metroid Prime 3 for the first time

If I see your advertisement more than three times within the same 25 minute programming I will remember the name and the product explicitly so that I can talk authoritatively to friends and family about how that product just had an emergency recall due to profoundly visceral personal injuries

you're telling me this Dispatch game ISN'T related to Superhero League of Hoboken at all?

finally somebody truly understands me

Did I miss a global declaration that everyone is to pretend that Fat Princess never existed or was I simply the only person who liked it (At least somebody mentions Modnation Racers once or twice a year)

I have been informed that Life of a Showgirl is not in fact a Paul Verhoeven retrospective

The kids in my gradeschool were all like "Star Trek is gay" (derogatory) but now people give me money for being like "Star Trek is gay" (positive)

"Cameron is, in a sense, no different from J.K. Rowling. He found a weird fucking drum, and although he has the resources to do anything else, he’s going to beat it until he’s dead."

happy monthly Limited Run Games Scandal Day to all who celebrate

all glory to the hypnotoad

Could a music professional clear this up for me does Yoshi's Story have a "leitmotif" or does it have "a soundtrack of entirely one song, played 16 slightly different ways"

years ago I would get into absolutely knockdown belligerent Twitter fights defending LRG from haters and I gotta tell you, LRG has really put in the work over the years to prove the haters right

The greatest movie ever made is FREE on Youtube btw

people are reading this as some kind of lament or condemnation when it's really just an objective statement of reality

forgive the metacommentary here, but there's such a zeitgeist of economic malaise everywhere right now Reviewbrah lamenting that everything is getting worse and more expensive, Steve reminding everyone that private equity is destroying hobbies and LIVES no petty joys are immune to this collapse

this entire notification is high art

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I'm not mad at Sandfall playing with AI placeholder textures years ago for the same reason I don't rage at people driving 7+ year old Teslas. the context was different at that moment. but Larian going proudly AI slop THIS WEEK? THAT'S putting a "I bought it before we knew" sticker on a Cybertruck

I'll always resent how I met your mother for crashing and burning in the final seasons, but not out of some sense that it wasted years of our lives. No, I'm mad because if it hadn't fumbled so bad and destroyed its legacy as a cultural institution, "Dowistrepla" would deserve to be in the lexicon

When I say that Robin Curtis was the definitive Saavik actress, some people say I'm just saying that to spite Kirstie Alley. The fact is that Curtis was more consistent and compelling in her take on the character all around, and also that I want to spite Kirstie Alley.

"in my restless dreams, I see that town"

the one true canonical Christmas song is the barebones MIDI of "sleigh ride" that was in every single shareware Christmas demo of the 90s youtube.com/clip/UgkxoMR...

Roger Ebert, 2005: "video games are meaningless and can never be art" Roger Ebert dot com, 2025: "the corrupted phazon hypermode cannon in Metroid Prime 3 was fuckin sweet and Metroid Prime 4 just hasn't got that juice"

Okay look. Jonathan Blow sucks. The Witness sucks. Braid is objectively *good.* BUT it isn't good in the ways he intended, nor as a reflection of his supposed genius. Braid is good *despite* him and his intent. Braid was great in its moment in the same way Peloton was successful during COVID.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

AEW knows how to speak to me directly

my earthly body is simply a vessel for the glory of transporting boogers from my home to my cubicle

skyrim is like oblivion but with swords

You, a low-tier plebe: We should speed run ethically, as God intended Me, a pro gamer: It’s been 71 hours and 58 minutes, time to go spawn camp Jesus

name a more iconic trilogy

Dude I am suddenly onboard for speedrun leaderboard discourse

what point of capitalism are we at when reading casual nonfiction about the bland, dull, regimented middle class life under communism feels suspiciously like a nonsensical glimpse into an opulent fantasy is it *possible* that we have been misled about the inherent nobility of constant struggle

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.

thinkin about the Fallout TV getting slopified by runaway capitalism and the numerous Squid Game game shows and starting to wonder, has the actual field of literature finally codified the Torment Nexus Paradox? this is not a meme tweet anymore, that was literary journalism

WE'RE SO BACK

I'm not here to judge anybody's hobbies but something makes me weirdly uncomfortable about accounts that self-seriously liveblog the melodrama of their sims characters and I mute them when I see them I'm now muting 4 accounts like this a day and trying to understand if this app is fucking with me

Newly Unsealed Batch Of Epstein Estate Photos Contains Rare Holographic Dershowitz

It's completely unfair for the role of Dan Hibiki, a beloved pillar of his community who sucks in ways that only endear us to him more, to be given to a guy who actually sucks.

People are acting like $30M is a windfall and a win for the family. It's a convenience fee for the cops that keeps it from going to trial, because then they'd have to acknowledge wrongdoing. Instead, they cut this check and the cop that murdered this boy remains on their payroll even now.

across four hours this was the only minute of video that sparked surprise and delight

Doubly offensive because the architects are never the ones sitting out on the beam
