There’s a BBQ chain in Florida and Oklahoma where they expect you to stand for the national anthem if you’re there at noon. Self-parody American suburban stuff of the highest order.

I don’t know anything about computer, I’m sorry. I’m pretty sure I’ve had Windows 11 for a year without really noticing.

I think it’s funny that the game awards doesn’t bother to have RPGs and JRPGs in separate categories. Why not just make another one? You have a category for fighting games and most of those this year were collections of old games.

Was Bastila’s dialogue always mixed absurdly low in KOTOR, or is that a Switch port thing?

Maybe it’s just because I’m dating someone now and she’s awesome, but I really like Tulsa. Pro-Tulsa now. Been a good move.

KOTOR’s sense of morality is very strange sometimes. So it’s morally neutral to take the assassination contract on a former gladiator guy, because he’s bad, but it’s morally evil to challenge him to a fight to the death in the arena? What, so it’s better to just ambush him in a public place? Okay.

Lenny Kravitz and Natasha Bedingfield are the only two people in the world to chart in the top 10 in 2004 AND star in a James Bond video game.

Absolutely demented NYT lineup lol

Calling my shot: KOTOR remake is back tonight.

So much gaming knowledge…lost to time

Star Wars Phantom Menace on PS1 is over 6gb, which no one cares about, but seems nuts to me.

Howdy folks, it’s your old pal low resolution Kris Kristofferson from Blade of Game Boy Color (2000).

making it exactly 50 years was easy in this case

What are the best Soviet films that aren’t the sci-fi ones or Battleship Potemkin?

This is the most surefire way to know a show is breaking through.

Been enjoying television the last month or two. Lots of good TV on. I still desperately want a Pitt for genres I care about more than hospital shows (no offense to my buddy The Pitt), but this has been a nice change of pace lately.

I want to live like a person on TV. I want to fill my cup a third of the way with water, end a call with a loved one without any kind of goodbye and then ask the hottest person I’ve ever seen “Are you alright? You look like hell.”

Metroid games shouldn't be about story and their increasing narrativization across the 21st century has been a disaster for the series

I’m honestly shocked by this. How could this happen

the thing I love about my internet provider is how user friendly everything is

On a Gilligan high so I’ll admit it: Love El Camino. I rewatch it all the time.

If you marathon Law & Order seasons 15 - 17 you can see negative polarization against the Iraq War happen in real time.

50-year mortgages feels like a prank. Nuts how bad an idea that is.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

Respect for testing out the X-Files angle instead of the Breaking Bad one like everyone else.

We MUST remember this

It’s crazy how bad RDJ was in Dolittle. He’s really lucky no one saw it.

TV IS BACK

If you’re a normal person who doesn’t pay attention to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you probably aren’t aware of the bizarre goings on between the Hall and 2025 inductee Chubby Checker. A short thread:

The ‘40s and ‘70s being do relatively close together will always feel wild to me. I wasn’t alive for either one, but they just feel worlds apart.

he’s become dr manhattan

is that first one really a question people are googling about an old country music guy

One of the great trailers.

Anyone watching DMV? Is DMV anything?

It’s clear that Republicans paid the price for Rick Perry’s humiliating “three agencies” gaff last night.

2009 posting that we’ve lost touch with. RETVRN.

That's one way to make a dedication to the novelization of DOOM.

Had to play a playlist of my videos to keep poor mazzy calm tonight. too many trick of treaters.

"I feel bad for Usha" "I feel bad for the kids" Well, I feel bad for Robert Mueller and the rule of law

I just want to write a novel as good as True Grit, without having any focus or drive, why is that so hard

I called Loni Anderson “Lori Anderson” in this one, despite having Loni written down and knowing her from WKRP. I’m going to retire now.

Print edition @theonion.com ads don’t miss

(michael myers on ross douthat’s podcast) ha ha, ross. that’s hardly a fair characterization. I would reframe the question. it’s not “why am I ‘killing’ babysitters”, it’s “why are babysitters behaving in a way that sets them up for these issues?” that’s something we need a national conversation on.

Kind of nuts that Kathryn Bigelow just made a movie about the president deciding if he has to use nukes or not and I’ve not seen a single person riffing on that here.

Sorkin needs to make one last Zuckerberg movie after this one and call it The Social Contract. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules.

Is Hades 2 as good as 1? I’m late to the party obviously but am loving this game.

the library ladder has become unmissable for me. such great stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzbS...
