Y'know it's interesting that Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen is still a 3 rating on Switch with the game corner intact considering the Game Boy games got a 12 on 3DS for simulated gambling

The first "Pocket Monsters" manga is such a trip

Main thing I'll say about this episode is that I do really like the joke where Homer is carrying the big-ass boulder to the bridge and then sees an identical one sitting there

crime dog you gotta find some better wording for this

Probably not but "A Day in the Life" makes a strong argument

Remember when people tried to turn this guy being jailed into another Gary Bowser "They're ruining this guy's life for violating copyright!" thing

"Centerfold" is a song that was incredibly ahead of its time because "guy upset someone else is doing porn before jacking off to it" feels like the MO of a lot of guys on the internet now

Earlier tonight my TV failed to display 30 Rock in a way that I felt put me in Alec Baldwin’s headspace for the first time

I don't know what it's like across the pond but over in the UK YouTube actually has a pretty decent free movie collection. Like they got Ghost in the Shell and Sicario on this

mario movie casting director continuing to do some sort of avant garde "what if entourage was still on the air" fake casting. amazing work. they should stop making the movies and release the casting announcements directly to theaters

Alright hear me out on this Wario fan cast: Joe Pesci

The only green dinosaur allowed to say the N-word

Their slogan is "physical forever" because that's how long you'll be waiting

Remember that one time during COVID where gas cost literally negative amounts of money. Those were the days

I know this is wishful thinking but it'd be funny as fuck if Trump resigns and then leaves J.D. Vance to deal with the mess

liveleak leftism

The story of how "Pinball Wizard" came about is so funny

There's a few consoles where emulation still isn't necessarily that great (Saturn, Xbox) but it's a shrinking list for sure. Even PS2 emulation is actually good now

Some of the 4kids Pokémon songs have the energy of the South Park episode where Cartman writes Christian music by taking horny love songs and replacing gender terms with "god". Except instead of god its "Pokémon" www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DZR...

how long until we see people complaining about Wikigacha tryhards

In many ways Dragon Ball's Buu saga was the ideal ending for any long running, serialized piece of fiction: Have a perfect end point with the Cell saga, then immediately descend into ridiculous, audience alienating self-parody

don't know who needs to see this tonight....

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

my Xbox controller wouldn't work with MelonDS for some reason so I had to bust out my fuckin Stadia controller

Steam really killed off standalone installers, kinda sad

MONEY PLANE (2020) predicted polymarkets and kalshi

Why does YouTube mark 99 Luftballons as "for kids"

Prediction markets are a vibe check at best and even that's iffy

that Pokopia logo meme thing turned into "🤪quirky🤪 way to announce dumb opinions" real fast

Seeing YouTube videos labeled as "20 years ago" feels fucked up

Calling Army of Darkness an "isekai" feels kinda trolly but it does fundamentally understand something that most of the genre doesn't, which is that watching someone being a complete fuckup who everyone hates is way more entertaining than generic hypercompetent fantasy hero #5000

The most fascinating thing about Saved by the Bell is how "Time out" was clearly meant as a fourth-wall "talk to the camera" kinda thing (sorta like what Malcolm would do) but eventually it just became him inexplicably having actual time stopping powers to get out of trouble

y'know I get frustrated with a lot of AI products like everyone else but I gotta admit: I actually like how they've integrated Gemini into Google Lens. I think it works pretty well

Classics Of Game 134

This was kind of a crazy called shot

IT'S REAL?!

genuinely laughed when they said "follow the story of Foxy the Fox". Fucking woodland critter christmas ass game

Yeah, I'm a bug catcher too...don't tell the ladies

People understandably get annoyed at "just spend less on Starbucks and you won't be poor!" boomer posts but lowkey some of you should probably be spending less on starbucks

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

What does "fixed" even mean. What's wrong with Z-A from a technical level besides "eh the graphics could be better"

Not gonna cop to it because Switch 2 isn't exactly my first platform for Resident Evil but I won't lie this is actually kind of a nuts deal. Key cards or not

ultimately so far I give the highest praise for a Pokémon game: even if I wasn't grading it on a curve I would still think it looks visually pretty decent

why tf are they releasing Pokémon XD on Nintendo Classics before Colosseum. What is the game plan

Labour and Tories dying together after nearly 100 years of rivalry

at this point reviews like this are basically nostalgic
