Godammit, V for Vendetta (2005) might actually be a good movie (and decent adaptation) fully separated from all the Internet warrior bullshit it inspired afterward. V isn't the hero, the story even recognizes he's kind of shit. V is not a leader! He's the evidence of how bad things are.

I regret to inform that your child has read Stephen King's The Wind Through the Keyhole, which is NOT a Calvin and Hobbes adaptation no matter how much I want it to be.

I personally have leeway for writers of big game sites and "getting along to get along" with larger owners, but holy shit, Jesus H Christ, you just fucking can't write an "Xbox is in good standing" headline with any real integrity right now. If that was an editor headline they need to fuck off.

Jesus H Christ.

Watching The Blackcoat's Daughter for the first time and I love two(2) things: I genuinely don't know what's exactly going on, and Kiernan Shipka is such an excellent strange girl. What a performance.

Hmmm, wanted the Ti West X Trilogy on Blu Ray and my options are an 85 DOLLAR collection, or like 50 bux to buy the three separately.

"If I give you a review code you might say the game is bad, but if you wrote a story about how my game is popular with streamers that's way better" Thats it. That's the whole thought process.

I kept seeing writers rag on Borderlands 4 giving out limited review code but it seemed so obvious to me Gearbox believes streamers/influencers are better marketing than a preview/review from a journalistic site. That also means I haven't seen talk about B4 cause I don't follow streamers/influencers

Eschatology and Genesis; as performed by Sevarian the Great et al. and written by Dr. Talos of Lake Diaturna.

im so funny #pixelart #ドット絵

I'll join the conspiracy minded here. This is 100% because law enforcement is not filing records when right wing assholes commit crimes and is over-stating the nature of crimes committed by leftists. A lot of warnings for one group, a lot of "resisting arrest" for the other.

There is nothing more important to me than the fact that I went back to a favorite sandwich shop at 1AM after more than 2 years and the woman that took my order remembered me even after I shaved. Humans fucking rule.

How long do you wait to tell the cineplex they forgot to put the movie on...

The funniest thing that can happen right now is the movie theater gave up because I'm the only one that bought a ticket..

Today's Drawfee has a little something for everyone: monsters, little guys, drawing from memory, and, of course, HOT! youtu.be/DcK61LBpsJY

Gavin Newsom is only lightly fascist and believes in displacing homeless people, he also believed in giving Kirk a platform. Really important that we give him credit for saying "authoritarian."

The best part of every long-standing horror franchise is that the LORE only matters for one movie and sits next to the themes and lore of the others. Season of the Witch is an outlier Halloween movie but is also thematically and structurally a Halloween movie. Silent Hill f is a Silent Hill Game.

I don't have a full nostalgic revery for Silent Hill so as far as I know "psychological horror that takes place in a creepy town" is literally all I need to say "that's a Silent Hill game."

What if a steam deck knockoff that could possibly be an accessibility tool were three times the price of the console it was required to be connected to...

I have no reason to make this special, but I might just go see an opening night PTA film to treat myself. Why not? No idea what this movie is about but it could be good.

I had a guy coming to repair my dryer today so I only watched about 20 mins of this stream and what I saw was Austin creating a new level of gameplay where we could watch him try and flip a coin "to catch up" to Jack's stream. Absolutely wonderful part of my day.

Why am I in this mode today? I fully love a critical reading of art. I have entire understandings of art pieces that the artist would never agree with. But I just also really can't stand pedantic critiques that shut off perspectives.

Idk man, it feels like some game critics really want every game to be the game they want instead of being the game that exists. Totally ignoring what the artists brought to the table in order to compare it to what they expected it to be.

Yes. Yes, it's become a writing exercise.

So is Halloween: The Game just Friday the 13th: The Game but way less likely to fall apart in copyright disputes?

I just think there are ways to make your point that a classic game should be available and supported for a modern audience without claiming the labor and artistic effort of already strained game devs is fully devoid and wasted.

It's important to remember that unlike any artistic endeavor beforehand, video games live in amber and are only meant to be experienced as they were at the exact moment of release. Any attempt to make one a second time is actually human time wasted.

This is a wild thought after midnight and apropos of nothing, but looking at Naboo in Phantom Menace and seeing how, if the Galactic Republic and later the Empire are US allegories (they are), Naboo is coded for Mediterranean villas, but is politically closer to Puerto Rico, or Hawaii.

I definitely played QWOP somewhere on the Internet at some time more than 15 years ago. Sure, Bay Steps. I bought it.

I love how much this image doesn't look anything like the set from Friends.

I'm compartmentalizing so harshly that I almost kicked my dryer into oblivion over a fix I know will be simple enough. It's just... Give me like five minutes, Maytag.

I had one of those bits today where my brain shut off and outlined rewriting the Star Wars prequels. The short answer is that Anakin and Padme should have met when hes 13, shes 17. AotC should be about their mutual disillusionment at the Republic/Jedi. Obi-Wan/Yoda/Windu should be more at odds.

It's not important, but also very important to me that everyone recognizes Stephen King is the "Sometimes blue curtains are just blue curtains" guy and for better and worse that has informed 50 years of a major pop cultural touchstone.

Full credit to whichever writer kept "gods garden is full of weeds."

I'm amazed at how well they adapted The Long Walk and also there's one very specific character change made that's very obviously tied to how they reworked the ending. I certainly liked the book more, but that's one hell of a movie.

This is the real problem of why Dems can't get people to come out and vote against an obvious evil. We all knew this was evil, we all knew this would happen. And Dems didn't say "we will do everything we can to make sure it can't happen..." They just said "this will happen, isn't that bad?" YEAH!

Every person that tries to vote-shame because "Kamala never would let this happen" also needs to accept that Kamala would not have disbanded ICE, that the genocide of Palestine would still be happening, and both abortion rights and trans rights would be "fairly debated" in the courts and never safe.

Literally any Dem presidential candidate look like you care that you lost, rather than disappearing into "private life" and then publishing a book that says "I knew this was bad."

seeing another rash of voter blaming and i wonder how people reconcile this with all the times dem senators - in deep blue states, even - that people voted for and put into office decided to give unanimous consent to GOP shit so they could go on vacation. they voted 'correctly', and yet, get nothing

If the whole thing is falling apart then Dems should be storming down aisles, pushing ppl out off podiums, and frankly throwing elbows and straight up punching people. I don't fucking care anymore that "Kamala warned us." She and congress Dems sure as fuck aren't putting themselves on the line.

Thank you to @amytheamazonian.bsky.social for describing Magic the Gathering cards to us on today's Drawfee! youtu.be/tg4uyrOJarM

Ah, yes, the safe choice for telling leftists and voters that hated the Dem stance on Palestinian genocide would have been Pete Buttigieg, the McKinsey think tank guy...

Listen, Borderlands 4, I get that it was super fun and novel that Wolfenstein 2014 opened with a basic-ass level before a rig pull, but opening this game in 2025 with the most generic tutorial gray level to teach Video Game Shooter mechanics is just so meh.

I've been a wholly bought in Borderlands fan since the first game released and I've frankly never been as annoyed by the writing or by Claptrap as anyone else. Just happy to be here.

The cabaret is leaving town--SHELVED BY GENRE today discusses the last book of V FOR VENDETTA, in which everything sort of wraps up, and we wonder which debonair antiheroes might be our next object of fixation: rangedtouch.com/2025/09/12/v...

I know I'm defending some trash here (trash I love watching, no shame) but it's wild that Grey's Anatomy is a 20 year ongoing primetime soap that started as a 9 episode, presumably mid-season, longshot.

I feel like I'm losing my mind with RE9 because it seems blatantly obvious to me that this blonde chick is just the baby from RE8 but it feels like they want to either make it a big reveal in the game, or they just fully pivoted to a new set of characters.

Ok, the cardboard Virtual Boy makes the whole idea less silly to me. Don't need a whole ass accessory.

So, I know Mario 3D All Stars isn't available to buy anymore, but has it ever been confirmed if you can download it on Switch 2? Cuz I see no reason to buy Galaxy all over again rather than just buying Galaxy 2 and redownloading All Stars.
