What a weird series of statements...

Setting teams aside, from a purely narrative standpoint, Iris is my favorite, especially in the anime. All of Ash’s companions have lofty goals which mostly seem perfunctory, but Iris was the first who actually went out there and accomplished hers. Seeing one of Ash’s gang come back as a league champion was great, and…

Vivarium is one of the most unpleasant movies I’ve watched in a long time. Half of it is literally a kid screaming. I get what they’re going for, but....man...just....stop with the screaming. One star.

I thought I would read this article until I saw it was a slideshow. I don’t want to click through 15 screens in what could have been a single article.

So THAT’S it! That actually makes perfect sense. Thanks for this! I hate it even more now but at least now it’s an informed-hate. ;p

Honestly, some porn stars are pretty good actress. It’s a narrow field of acting, but some are really able to sell the scenario they are in, while others are flat and wooden.

To add: Sabine should NOT become a Jedi. She should become a stronger Mandalorian warrior with more situational awareness, blade handling skills, and better cardio.

I’d been ruminating on this since the episode aired and the reconciliation I finally had was this:

when Rian Johnson does it he gets cries of childhoods being raped, the entire IP being ruined beyond saving, and death threats

So when Filloni does it it’s refreshing, when Rian Johnson does it he gets cries of childhoods being raped, the entire IP being ruined beyond saving, and death threats....boy, this sure is a super cool fandom we got, here.

(FWIW, this isn’t a dig at Whitbrook or Filloni. It is 100% a shot at one…

Reads a bit like a ChatGPT-generated pitch, which makes me wonder if this is some studio’s attempt at a completely AI, No-Humans-Involved feature presentation.

50/50 they’re reusing it so much because they spent a pretty penny on licensing it from Getty Images.

Man, the AV Club sure loves that particular photo of Taylor Swift.

Ratting out a black man to the cops is soliciting homicide - come the fuck on

Wow, the Reddit trolls are out in force. This isn’t “just” a leak. He didn’t buy a legal copy early, or even violate a review embargo. This guy allegedly stole multiple copies and was reselling them for profit. The people who are defending it as “who cares if Microsoft is missing a few thousand dollars” are the exact…

There’s nothing nostalgic about it. Fun games are fun games. Pixelated games are basically just an art form at this point. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But I’ll be SHOCKED if there aren’t still a bunch of 2D pixelated games in 10-20 years. If anything, you could argue this is the golden age of pixelated…

“The director, who would like to see his version of the 2016 movie released, says he was once rumored as a candidate to take over DC Studios”

Now he’s going to buy valorant and ban anyone who boos him.

Maybe this is because I never played No Man’s Sky, but I never expected there to NOT be barriers on the different worlds. I guess I was already used to the limits that we had on Mass Effect with the smaller planets.

I think that’s a disingenuous take. It absolves the development team for introducing deep ideas they couldn’t —- or wouldn’t —- deal with in any significant manner. The game explicitly sets up a world where slavery exists in mass form; the game is responsible for then navigating that appropriately.
