I’ve tried at least 4 times now over the past couple years, but I can’t make it more than 45 minutes into this without falling straight to sleep, and I still feel like I’ve missed basically nothing going into the TV shows. Don’t know how that math works out, but hey, it is what it is.

TIL Roblox is still a thing??? Are the old maps still around? I remember dumping umpteen hours into the “destroy the tower” one as a kid...

I’ve always assumed they’re trying to reflect biodiversity? Not every animal is top-tier...

It’s pretty obviously the same kind of mock cel-shading that Skyland pioneered back in the mid-2000's. Looked like shit then, looks like shit now, just developed some more defined shadowing.

Extraordinary that someone decided to make such a high-budget show with an art style that could be reasonably described as “what if Iron Man: Armored Adventures looked even worse”. 3D CGI is a goddamm plague.

Goddamn, been a while since I’ve been this genuinely nervous for an episode of television... I thought the coffin bit in the premier wasn’t going to work, but this really is a masterpiece of built tension. Can’t wait for the finale!

real talk, can I use panera gift cards at caribou? caribou is substantially closer to me in my hospital, and I’m still burning off an old gift card... quick coffee for a few months would be a literal life saver

cristobal tapia de veer crawls out of his cave and drops a masterpiece on a debatably-deserving show once every 5 years like clockwork. solid 50% of why I’m watching this show is to see how many punchy bark samples he tosses in. perhaps the only modern composer to use choral synths quite that way... fits so damn well.

Yeah like I’ve halfway been expecting someone to whip out a “critical reevaluation of Space Jam” but I’ve been thrilled to see everyone basically agree that it’s mediocre at best.

...guess I’m ordering this.

I’ve got the audiobook (Peter Kenny’s) Geralt voice baked into my head from a few years back, so the game and the show are both bafflingly weird takes on the character in my ears.

genuinely stunned that they went full on Wolverine: Origins Deadpool on Taskmaster. how did they not learn the first time.

Sign me the hell up! Thanks!!

And??? What’s the review?

All this did is make me want to go get a Subway tuna sandwich for dinner. Thanks for the inspo!

Britell has been on such an absurd hot streak since Moonlight - honestly, he’s one of the few composers right now that I’ll watch a movie just to see what he’s done (I’m looking at you, Italian Studies, whenever you get released). So curious to see what he manages to do with Don’t Look Up - I wouldn’t have pegged him…

this is a combination genuinely beyond my wildest dreams. HELL yes.

I came in fully expecting charlotte to eat shit but number zero? Hot damn. Cannot wait to get the fuck out of this city...

I’ve come back to Valhalla every couple of weeks to see if I can finally beat The Builder, but the dude still manages to two-shot me like every other time I’ve tried for literally 6 months now. Guess it’s probably about time to give up the ghost and delete the game for good - I ain’t putting another 24 hours in after…
