Were good games not allowed to compete?

cinephiles are like check out my bespoke rating system: 10/10 means perfect, 9/10 means amazing, 8/10 means great. 7/10 means good, 6/10 means decent, 5/10 means mediocre, 4/10 means bad, 3/10 means terrible, 2/10 means irredeemable, 1/10 means unwatchable. has anyone else thought of this?

If there is an afterlife, I hope every US citizen who placed a vote for Donald Trump will have to feel the guilt of every dead Iranian. I also hope every Republican official in the house, senate, and this administration will have to explain their cowardice to every person who died for it.

donald trump and benjamin netanyahu are the most evil people alive today. there’s no competition. they need to be stopped immediately

we (u.s.) are evil. full stop. fucking hate the leaders of this country.

”it’s a kids ______” is a reprehensible defense of any media. We should have the most scrutiny for media made for children, which should be as thoughtfully, artfully, and purposefully created and promoted as possible.

watching minions rise of gru in black and white with no sound except the nutcracker suite and its actually pretty good

showing my preschool aged kids the passion of the Christ for movie night so i can explain to them why the library is closed today

Like most parents, I want my give kids my kids the best parts of my childhood, which is why I've got 1000 hours of Maury on VHS to play every sick day

man i really killed it with this essay huh aftermath.site/the-new-game...

The Japanese language barrier helps their perception that the stuff they like is just toys because they don’t have to read statements from the creatives or see how people in Japan talk about the art itself, and any evidence that could prove this mindset wrong can simply be blamed on woke translators

my latest dumb parenting decision: the kids weren't learning to ride bikes because at the first sign of difficulty they'd put their feet on the ground. I told them both if they crashed with their feet on the pedals I'd give them 10 skittles I'm now out 20 skittles and they're solid bike riders 😊

Watched Hoppers. Is actually good. Wrote a way too long review of what's wrong with contemporary animation. letterboxd.com/evelynn_k/fi...

i will reveal games in the order of games I feel the most embarrassment about

The difference between a 90 minute movie and 2 hour movie is 60 minutes.

The US government is a terrorist organization.

i like when everyone shares what they love

Just ate my homemade marinara sauce with garlic naan and I am kicking myself for not having done it ten years ago.

Jamelle Bouie clearly and quite publicly works very hard to be informed and even-handed and anyone talking about him as if he’s not doing either of those things should shut the fuck up and definitely be widely ignored

I absolutely despise that Americans don't care how many people we kill in our wars, only how many soldiers we lose. It's likely more Iraqis died each month of our occupation than how many US soldiers died in total. Their lives matter as much as (or more than!) the lives of US soldiers.

Killing a rival head of state does not make a country more secure, democratic, or stable. It leads to chaos, infighting, and famine at best, genocide and civil war at worst. This will lead to millions losing their homes, descending into poverty, or dying.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

And whether or not the case was based on lies, US congress passed an authorization for the Iraq war. Fuck all wars, and fuck all illegal wars.

Am I the only one deliberately making a gay cat house in Mewgenics?

The goal of transition is not to become your hyperfixation character. It’s to become a version of your mom that might stand to have a better relationship with being a woman

Kaki King has some fantastic long titled songs I might pick on another day, but gosh this track always hits hard (If it even counts as a double title!)

Conversation with my (black) 3 yo daughter: "Do you have skin?" "Yeah" "Are you white?" "Yeah" "Your skin looks like a taco [a soft shell tortilla]." My kids have license to make fun of my skin color for the rest of their lives 😅

i didn't like tom goes to the mayor when i was 13 years old and I will never forgive that teenage bitch for her bad taste. set me back 20 years at least

Consume Me is by far the best game I played from last year.

i'm in this alongside many cool people !!

The United States is a lawless imperialist nation run by a pseudo-dictator. Fuck this government and everyone who enables this situation.

How Christopher Nolan fans feel about Tenet is probably how I feel about all his movies.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

one thing that is important to know is that BIRTH OF A NATION is so racist that people at the *time*, in 1915, were like, “holy shit this is racist”

protect trans kids

transitioning is the best choice i’ve ever made in my life and the only regret i have with it is that i didn’t do it when i was younger

"Maybe I'm naive," and proceeds to write the most naive sentence I've ever read. You can't have common interest on improving conditions with another person if the other is racist, because the racist person believe the presupposition that that your conditions shouldn't be improved!

I wrote my entire 100,000 word dissertation in Sublime Text without so much as a grammar checker. I want to emphasize to everyone, everywhere, that you can do amazing things without AI or some machine correcting you! They're nice, I guess, but you're better than them.

The trick is to spend years in grad school learning all this stuff only to turn it off when you hit play because you’re too busy crying that bob from bobs burgers got stuck to a toilet to care about the cinematography.

This whole media cycle around him has now convinced me Tarantino has bad taste. Not because his top 10 list is bad, but because the way he talks about movies is so weird. He often sounds like someone who hates them???

A concerning development of my lifetime is how little the American populace seems interested in personal virtue. This is particularly true in regards to politics, but pervades most leadership in institutions across the country. The idea of doing the "right thing," per ones moral code, has evaporated

IQ is a measure of how good you are at IQ tests, which is something informed by how familiar you are with taking academic tests (& thus the quality of your school, which is in part determined by your parents' wealth, etc). there's nothing in particular that makes them a good test of intelligence

Yup, those sure are my kids five favorite songs.

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."
