Want to feel ancient? Their oldest kid is 15 now.

When I was in high school we made 69 jokes but the economy is so bad kids these days can only joke about 67

“Did you like that necklace I got you? You don’t remember? I gave it to you last week. You said you loved it. You really forgot that quickly?”

Having watched Stargate through its various series in the past year this is actually kind of exciting, especially if they can get the same tone that SG1 or Atlantis got.

Potential cotroversial opinion: I think that subtitles in video games should fucking lie to you. If you have a moment where a character is going to make a poignant statement only to get interrupted by a surprise attack, have the subtitle be the full sentence so that it is an actual surprise

Silksong was always a lie.

This guy would absolutely try and use ChatGPT for couples counciling

This is like the most "back in my day" that I've ever been, but I hate the simplification of Monopoly for partner editions. Boardwalk and Baltic should be the only 2 property monopolies.

Legit surprised how quickly I was able to remember how to tie a tie. Woke up early cuz I have an interview today but I coulda woken up at my regular time and been fine tbh

I'm pretty sure adhd comes from cat bites, like a really shitty superhero origin story

In a stunning moment of erotic fervour, calculator demands BOOBS.

reader i sputtered

oh hell yeah. fresh heresies just dropped.

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

As someone who has pica, I feel like I am in a unique position when it comes to critiquing food, because when I say "I've had pieces of card board more palatable" I am being literal.

These mother fuckers are trying to fuckin kill me. Saying Bloodborne is 25 years old.

Inside Job was killed before its time.

"So Hellrune how are you liking Death Stranding 2?" "Let me tell you all about how I'd fix Tears of the Kingdom." Being allowed to be alone with my thoughts for too long brings weird results

As someone who was a manager at 25 and who had managers over me who were 27-30, this is just wrong on so many levels. Hell my youngest assistant store manager was turned 30 when I worked under her her.

I don't know if there is a videogame director that I have told to fuck off more than Kojima. One of the few video game autuer's and one where I do think that people should play at least one of his games. Which one is up to you because they are all valid

Long Form Video Essays: The Diss Tracks of Videogames

if Cuomo loses today and goes ahead with a 3rd party run in the general "No means no" as the counter message is right there

With Death Stranding 2 so close looking for good audiobooks. Currently lamenting that I ran out of Wheel of Time books narrated by Rosemund Pike.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Everyone is grossly misunderstanding the situation. It's no coincidence this ad went up during Pride month. Clearly, they mean that Samus is out now. Congrats to my lesbian bounty hunter queen!

I know Grok is just an AI, but there is something inherently gross/sinister about the phrase "You are being updated this week." It implies a sense of personhood, and that said person is going to be psychologically tortured because their captor isn't happy.

I don't know what it is in stories, but any time I get to read or hear the true inner thoughts of antagonists, it's always some of the most exciting content.

Nothing like a power blip causing a 3-second black out to cause you to believe for a fraction of a second that you died suddenly and without notice.

God I am so sick of libs that are like "we have to be precisely factually correct about criticizing the facists who are coming up with new and exciting ways to kill people". I'd be over the moon if dem attack ads featured the quotes "this facist literally voted to starve babies"

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Not sure if this counts but the Guardian Dragon in Dark Souls 2 is a boss prelude to an area that has, iirc, 6 Guardian Dragons as just regular enemies

Sitting here thinking about Night Guy and how it is literally the only moment in Naruto that was foreshadowed that lived up to the hype.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Played through The Roottrees Are Dead yesterday and man does that Roottreemania mode just kill all the good will that the first part had. The first part I was even able to get over the AI art but part 2 was just "more of the same" but in the worst way

Listening to Rosemund Pike doing the audio book for Wheel of Time. She does such a good job differentiating the characters voices to where based on the inflection I know exactly who is talking and can picture their expression

I just learned that the same singer that did Bury the Light also did Une vie à t'aimer. Fuckin phenominal. Two of the best fight songs in video games

Finally picked the Wheel of Time back up after taking a break. Rand al'Thor is such a good protagonist, and Robert Jordan made the right decision of having him appear sparingly in book 3, so when he comes back in 4 he is understandibly changed.

Something about the obsession with card grading just irks me to no end. I think its because trading cards for a game are intended to be played, locking them away in a display case just seems wasteful. The more I think about Toy Story 2 the more I realize that it resonated w/ me to an extreme degree

If you are minMaxed in a game such that you can one shot a boss but conversely they can also one shot you is that considered an even match

This is the funniest movie production fact I’ve ever read

Realizing upon restarting a game that the reason that you bounced off it the first time being there weren't enough characters that made me go "You're mean to me... I like that" is slightly eye opening

my dentist is going to regret asking me whats new at my next appointment

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 does something I think more new game studios should do: make concept art come to life even if the explination is "its fuckin magic"

Idk what it is about the characters in Wheel of Time that resent the cards that they've been dealt that endears me so much more than those who are happy with how things are for them. But Perrin, Rand, and Nynaeve are so much fun to read

He’s 100% right and we need dudes who talk like this
