Great news! I decided to start playing Chimera Squad (why did I forget how to spell that) after all, and this game actually fucking rules? I still don’t want mainline XCom to play entirely like this (still not a fan of interleaved turns) but there’s a lot here I hope shows up in XCom 3

Steam Controller easter egg: the controller screams when dropped by about 3 feet (Big Picture Mode, about once every 5-6 drops) www.reddit.com/r/SteamContr...

I hope Jake Solomon is doing okay. Too fucking talented of a director, too good of a guy to have gone through what he has. I wonder if he's seen the Northernlion video.

oh fuck this is by The Artful Escape people that explains a lot

I fucking hate the protein trend dude. All these protein-infused foods taste like pure ass and the chance you're not getting enough in your regular diet is like .003% unless you're a bodybuilder which none of these MAHA fucks are anyways.

Another week another game that looks bad for its own reasons that is getting all the wrong kinds of hate because of culture war bullshit

unfortunately millennials are unable to credibly recommend any of our music or movies or anything else to younger generations. although we grew up with a lot of great stuff, we blew all our credibility by spending decades talking about space jam, a boring movie for babies

Steven Spielberg’s games are better than Shigeru Miyamoto’s movies

a day late, but this is the essential star wars post for me

I get disappointed when a device has a built-in rechargeable battery now that I’m all-in on Eneloop Pros. Kinda sad the new Steam Controller moved that way but at least iFixIt says the battery is really easy to replace if it goes bad, UNLIKE THE DECK

So it seems the reason Nintendo is shadowdropping a Star Fox announcement like this is because they’re embarrassed it’s happening.

Feel really bad for Jackbox right now. Reinventing themselves with the Party Packs was a huge gamble that really worked out but the juice is completely gone and now they have to take that huge risk all over again.

I am starting to come around to the idea that maybe The Boys comic *is* better than the show.

happy star war day

I decide to not be cynical about SW on this corporate holiday and instead share one of my favorite video essays, where someone with experience in the industry lays out how Episode 9 ended up how it did with genuine insight and not an hour of screeching "JJ is a hack." www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBEx...

I would like an apology from all my ex-friends who insisted to me that M.I.A. was a true revolutionary and not a British fop co-opting leftism as an aesthetic. Turns out the truffle fry memers had a point.

I really can't wait until I don't have to hear the phrases "needs to be studied" and "potential to do the funniest thing ever" anymore

"The Avalanches are doing an ARG" is my mk ultra activation phrase

ITT: Gamers who know nothing about development are dumbfounded that Windows 11 needs more than 8gb of ram

It is our honor-bound moral obligation to put whoever posts this kind of thing down like a dog. We cannot allow this and must stamp it out now

Think the Axe Cop guy still has a job?

With video game movies seemingly poised to replace superhero movies as the big box office trend it’s concerning that I’m seeing gamers demand they have a kind of uniformity to them in the same way every superhero movie eventually *had* to follow the MCU formula or face rejection.

I must remind people that the guy who drew Axe Cop and corralled his brother into it eventually became the creative director for the Babylon Bee and now writes those direct-to-streaming movies for The Daily Wire like Lady Ballers

I think the best way to think about the Steam Controller’s price is that $99 is also what it costs for a pair of Switch 2 joy-cons and those have less features and are worse in every way

Another thing I can only post on Bluesky because the brands aren’t here: fuck I love having a Vitamix. I’ve been getting all my fruit servings through smoothies lately and it feels like I’m getting away with having ice cream for breakfast.

mexican coke is a health drink because it contains real sugar. people should drink it instead of water

One hill I am willing to die on is that there is absolutely zero reason for the crewcab truck to exist. I have never known someone who owns one of these who was a decent human being.

GOOD POST

It sucks that a hagiography of a serial pedophile is coming out this weekend and will probably be a huge success. But someone in a Discord I’m in shared this clip from an earlier, made-for-TV MJ biopic and it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all month www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wUa...

the new Boots Riley discourse is so obviously some dumbass cointelpro shit that I think it does a disservice for anyone to even give it space. Communists need to eat too. As a result this is the only post I will make about it. Goodbye.

I still think about how at the end of the video HBG goes "now I'm going to list off a bunch of queer creators you SHOULD be watching!" and half the people he lists are also documented committing plagiarism.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Clavicular is a 20 year old child and famous for no good reason, not due to any particular celebration-worthy talent. He is a victim of a form of mental illness that is exacerbated by attention. However, if I come up with a good joke about him, I will post it.

best guesses i have atm

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉
