The first positive review of Avatar I ever saw just after it came out was a guy I worked with who had a rangers top on in his Facebook pfp and kept calling it "aviator"

The one thing Neil Druckman gave me was, finally, the experience of having read (played) the book (game) before the film (HBO drama) and having the same level of smug satisfaction as people who spent ten years going "Of course, in the books, Lady Stark is a zombie,"

Every single 8bit home computer game was shite for smelly nerds

GUY WITH FRIENDS WHO STILL WORK AT THE NY TIMES: ok 🙄 here’s what you’re all getting wrong,

You can't tell people to be less online if you yourself have posted sixty times today

u ever think about how funny it was how Gita Jackson would harass other journos for working for corpos or accepting low freelance rates and then took a NYT paycheck lmao

No Wicked merch in bloke sizes? Misandry

On the one hand, all corporations are the vile antithesis of humanity, on the other hand, Apple TV's scifi output is Well Good, we are truly blessed to have a trillion dollar company willing to plough billions into loss leaders for their unprofitable streaming platform

just read about the big twist in that Clair Obscura nonsense and honestly some of yous are definitely playing these things while sniffing glue

tidying my computer and found the t-posing THUG 2 Phil Margera again

bottle ey ginger

AI is bad and you shouldn't use it

I don't object to the idea of Battlebots being on TV 9 years earlier in the For All Mankind timeline BUT it being in HD 16:9 while all the news segments are still in SD 4:3 is some lazy shit

In Soviet Russia, president blows YOU

Where were you when we found out that Trump had blown Bubba

COD is a very easy one to boycott, given how dogshit it's been since what, MW2?

Preying on people at their most vulnerable, like drug dealers, mediums, cults, and every other form of disgusting con artist

Does anyone else's toddler stand up for this like it's the national anthem youtu.be/iR8yguVqWFY?...

I have excellent news for fans of Self Service youtu.be/y4i3JI9LuLs?...

good evening to all. my friends and wellwishers, and my haters: but less so

the nag line/yellow paint/handholding discourse reminds me of a TV documentary about twenty years ago where they fitted eye tracking cameras to supermarket shoppers, who were adamant that they weren't influenced by advertising, and spoiler: they were mostly full of shit

I remember a schism on the Bethesda forums before Shivering Isles released, where one guy started a thread called "What music will you listen to while fighting Sheogorath?" and half the board was like "...the game music? from the game?" and the other half were like "the game has music?"

Spare the five hour musical double bill, spoil the child

looking forward to once again going to see Wicked with my daughters, everyone assuming I'm chaperoning them when the opposite is very much the case. dad's gonna be ugly crying after four bars of For Good

THEY FOUND IT This is like finding a missing history of Tacitus www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVF_...

Any yous mind when PJ went to the arcade

- wan of the apostles trying to stop jesus playing video games

Christ, video games are shite

I can't think of anything I want to play less than an MMO version of the most boring mid af shit ever made

Do I know any Edinburgh-based games journalists?

wifes love asking shit like "Honey, what is the Blowjob Olympics?" and "Why is 'Blowjob Olympics' listed on our CC statement like 14 times"

Not sure that the Gabecube is going to be the huge disruption you all seem to think it is. I remember when yous said Netflix had forever usurped Hollywood's distribution model because they got that dogshit Cloverfield film that nobody else wanted to release

people are focusing on the scary part ("AI-generated") but why, why on Earth, would I want content "from users"

I'm a big fan of "David Breens"

Shit there's a QUIZ!?

America absolutely doing a western roman empire collapse speed run

I know others have said this but I am just, I can't believe that reality is written as badly as a video game, I can't believe the villains in real life leave entire email chains full of detailed, incriminating accounts about their noncing, blackmailery, and POWER-BROKERING? Is this Deus Ex?

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

these emails might be it. This might be the one where we finally get something back on the Arecibo dish and after running it through every known linguistic cipher it prints a message from the beyond: “ah, well. Nevertheless,”

Guy on Facebook on £120k moaning about how much tax he has to pay and telling people to "fuck off" if they think he doesn't deserve his money. I mean, on that money, why don't YOU fuck off to Dubai? Or go freelance and hire a ruthless accountant? Sounds lazy to me

Joke's on my haters, I've been doing it all my life, I'm the expert baby

I was obsessed with On the Record when I was about 5. It was appointment viewing for me to see that crocodile.

somehow, every week the intro would end and i would be shocked to discover it was actually a show about boring men in ties being boring

a crap version of godzilla vs kong but it's chewitosaurus battling the On the Record crocodile in a mashup of 1980s British kaiju mascots. @demontomatodave.bsky.social to produce

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Doctor Who fans are sick freaks. They don't even LIKE Doctor Who that much

God I wish I liked this shit, you have no idea how badly it fucks me up that there's a completely unstoppable freak making three hour movies about space bollocks but it's a flavour of space bollocks that I just do not vibe with

They forcefemmed Stalin!?
