someone explain to me how Julie Estelle (The Raid 2, The Night Comes for Us) is not in two new action movies a year.

Ron Gilbert can't even get funding?!? RON GILBERT!?!

how can the soon-to-be world's first trillionaire possibly afford a disastrous $140m fine the government can't just demand fourteen percent of one percent of your wealth like this it's outrageous

Huh. There were a lot of really great interviews in the HitFix YouTube channel. And some less great interviews! Plus all episodes of the ill-fated Firewall & Iceberg video show. Don’t ever let anybody tell you the Internet is forever.

I had to write about Horses for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/horses-indie...

I FINALLY FOUND IT. Been looking for this stupid video for fucking EVER but GOOGLE SUCKS SO MUCH SHIT NOW

I hate living in an age where old right wing conspiracy theories are kind of true, but in right-wingers' favor. The media is controlled by outside interests and can't be trusted. Governments can't be trusted either and are in many cases actively trying to take your rights away. I mean, fuck me.

Has he forgotten HIS PERFORMANCE in From Dusk Til Dawn!? “it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Tarantino] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"

But it's fine, right? That's fine and normal and totally everyone has that and there's no treatment or anything that would be beneficial here Right?

Hi, it's me, right now, needing to make an important phone call and having put it off for 2 hours so far, staring at my phone every 2 minutes and failing to will myself to press the call button while my brain internally screams and my chest feels like there's a 10 kg weight on my chest.

Personal flaw: When I see someone being negative about a thing I like - movie, game, w/e - I feel my hackles rising. I'd never actually say anything, people can dislike things, it's not an attack on me, it doesn't need my defense. But I still feel the instinct, and I hate it. Shitty nerd behavior.

I haven't played this in a long, looooong time, despite owning it on GOG, but I remember it as a flawed gem.

I used to be a fan of Richard Dawkins, JK Rowling, and Graham Linehan. They can all go straight to hell.

Fuck, I cried at the blessing of the spear this time. Maybe because overall, Brok has been taking my attention on this playthrough. We talk about Sindri as the one giving and giving until there's nothing left, but Brok makes most of the offers, seemingly uncaring of the cost.

SIMPLY HAVING A

I mean, I feel like there's pretty clearly supposed to be quotation marks around the second paragraph. Like, literally, "This speech popped into my head", and then there's a speech.

A Christmas miracle could still happen!

It’s wild how many of Tarantino’s opinions are, like, a lazy version of an interesting idea. Dani’s performance stands out in a way that could, at surface glance, be “weak,” but its oddness really works, like we’re watching two cartoon weirdos backstabbing each other after building America.

Going forward my immediate response to all who dislike TLJ will be, "oh, so you agree with JD Vance then?"

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

Tired: Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Wired: Prometheus is a Christmas movie. Inspired: any movie you watch over Christmas is a Christmas movie. (But also Go.)

Am replaying one of my favourite games of all time for the umpteenth time whilst ignoring my ever growing backlog of games? You bet your rootin’ tootin’ ass I am!

AD-ROCK: Yo Ebenezer you gotta show re- BEASTIES: MORSE AD-ROCK: Redemption is not a mere matter of Beasties: COURSE MIKE D: We’ll show you Bob Cratchit’s not a lazy BEASTIES: MOOCHER MCA: We’re Christmas Past MIKE D: Christmas Present BEASTIES: AND CHRISTMAS FUTURE

A Christmas miracle could still happen!

I really do want to mute the names of the foremost fascist assholes so I don't have to see their faces all the time on here - but then I keep thinking, what if one of them finally dies? I don't want to be late to the party!

The fundamental difference between GenAI and previous tech scams is that it's the first one that promised evil rich fucks that they could eliminate a ton of jobs, and boy did they leap at the idea, and drag the entire economy along for the ride.

NFTs crashing was like, hey, I can buy a graphics card again without being a fucking millionaire. GenAI crashing is gonna fucking hurt. It still needs to happen; the alternative where these techbro fuckers get the future they want is worse. But fuck, I hate that even the best outcome sucks.

I feel like I'm the only person at my work who doesn't own stocks. Like, people around me will talk about shit going up and down and what have you, and I have just never been able to understand what meaningfully distinguishes the stock market from gambling. And I don't like gambling.

Hi, my name's Townsend and as of today, I'm a published writer! "The Ballad of Black Calchas" is my debut short story, an epic and tragic tale of magic and piracy. I'd appreciate if you gave it a read here at Electric Spec magazine! electricspec.com/Volume20/Iss...

Stop CEOs

Sort of inverse: Video title: "This ONE combat mechanic breaks the game!" Video content: Cheese a single move over and over again, taking all the fun and variation out of the game Had a bunch of those in my recs a couple of years back

As much as I loathe GenAI, I can't fully look forward to the bubble bursting because it won't just be shitty CEOs and the like who are hit - all our financial fates have been tied to this fucking boulder, to one extent or another.

The beginning of God of War: Ragnarok is really masterfully crafted to reinforce every expectation set up by the previous installment. Everything is tinged with sadness and a sense of impending tragedy. Kratos is heading towards his inevitable end, and Atreus will create war and chaos in its wake.

Why does cream become so much more delicious when you fluff it up with air?

Producer: You get that intro for our fishing game done? Programmer: Sure did boss, real fuckin extreme just like you asked. Producer: what

I love old games, I love old adventure games in particular, I've tried many times to get into the original Zorks and Hitchhiker's Guide and others, but they never click for me. Doesn't help that they also often have the "Fuck you, you're dead or softlocked" design philosophy.

Similarly: Halloween, or, "I guess American Fastelavn is always horror themed?"

Reskeeting with alt text but yeah it really is this simple yall We need to be blunt and stop. Pussyfooting around this stuff Say what it is, call it out and tell. It like it is

These folks really go online every day and just admit to being giant losers. Nobody makes them post stuff like this.
