I think some people hate unsubtle satire because unsubtle satire makes it very obvious it’s making fun of THEM. The people begging for nuance want someone who will soft-hand them a bit and try to see things from their point of view. But when you grow up in Nazi-occupied Holland like Verhoeven did, you ain’t got time…

Sorry, man. The book Starship Troopers was incredibly fascist. You just don’t realize you think fascism is pretty cool.

A lot of big name critics were disgusted by what they watched onscreen and thought it was serious. Some of the same people also had that response to Fight Club.

Spending 10 minutes building to a reveal when the movie had clearly explained how the portal device thing worked was certainly an interesting approach.

Go all in on VR or HoloLens type tech.

The PS4 Pro is really throwing off the game development window because the jump from Base to Pro was huge and the jump from Pro to the PS5 is... raytracing and speed. And that’s basically to be expected because it’s human beings that craft character models and environments and machines that capture those images as…

Spidey’s voice was the iconic Spider-Man voice for decades. Almost every Spider-Man voice actor does an impersonation of that voice.

Jennifer Lopez’s career is being hot, a good actress, and an exceptional dancer who can sing on key.

If someone literally came to me with tears in their eyes, I’d mention it just because it feels really sincere.

Hate to say it, but if Jennifer Lopez is the alternative, that’s one way.

This isn’t Kotaku’s fault. The song was written and performed by C+C Music Factory with Martha Wash (half of the Weather Girls, aka, “It’s Raining Men”) as uncredited vocals on that song (also a bit of irony considering this clip).

So in this one, specific instance John Cleese isn’t the asshole and Eric Idle is?

This joke is so old it’s got McCallan’s on the label. I’ll allow it.

Hilary Clinton’s “crowd of angry white women disregarding any woman that doesn’t serve their particular low-stakes political tastes in search of an avatar” signal went off and she jumped to it.

I’m just glad it turned out to be a show I couldn’t stop watching all the way through in one day. Wildly enjoyable despite not even trying to be something I was used to.

That’s what happens when you drop a series all at once. The conversation ends the moment it premieres and only starts up again in advance of the new season.

I love my Playstation. I would also love if all of the PS exclusives were available on my PC (or Mac for you guys) — and actually worked. I’d love it if they just went into a bespoke gaming market and sold custom game boxes for people who don’t want a gaming PC while churning out their typical array of first party…

Xbox is on track to sell as many Xbox Series X/S’s as they sold Xbox’s.

Xbox has been begging to get PC Game Pass on the Playstation. And Sony’s PS+ really, really sucks.

Late Stage Capitalism. You can’t feel represented by your democracy, but you can definitely feel represented by this private industry dictated by nepo babies run in a hierarchical antidemocratic system.
