As always when Rob Schneider comes up, I think of this wonderful Norm MacDonald bit

Spoiler alert: A random passerby calls him “dickless” for absolutely no reason in the new film because every action has an equal and opposite nostalgia callback.

Mario Wonder’s Final Final Challenge isn’t that hard. It’s way easier than Odyssey’s final level. It even has several checkpoints and it’s just pattern memorization. There are no random elements in it. And Metroid Dread’s shinespark challenges are difficult, some of them I’d even call annoying, but they’re not even…

Digital media is usually not saleable, be it music, movies, video games, software, or what have you.

Some people believe it or not don’t like the idea of paying monthly for services to play games in a constant rotation. Some people like to purchase games and play them whenever they want.

You would be arguing in favour of only being able to watch Sony Pictures movies on a Sony brand Blu-Ray player if that were something Sony decided to do.

100% with you. I hate exclusives and more access to games is better for everyone.

Cuphead was Xbox/PC exclusive back in 2017. In 2018 it came to Mac, 2019 to Switch, and 2020 to PS.

I had the RE5 red 360 console that famously couldn’t read the RE5 pack-in disc. I think I returned six of them, and by that point Best Buy was straight up opening them, plugging them in, and testing if the pack-in disc worked in the console before you left the store with it.

Same. Whenever I need a bit of calm I turn off my brain and play a round of Super C, letting muscle memory take over.

I still can’t decide if Hill House’s “...and the men decided to gaslight the women for their own good” ending was a sly nod to the book, or the ultimate middle finger to Shirley Jackson.

The combat is weirdly loose and unsatisfying. Like it’s occasionally fun when it lets you jump around as Hulk or embiggen Ms. Marvel and stomp a bunch of identical robots, but overall combat controls a lot less like Spider-Man or the Arkham games, and a lot more like a cheap clone of Street Fighter. It’s really neat…

You’re really hung up on a single joke that lasts (literally) the length of a sneeze.

What is going on with the AV Club’s refusal to even acknowledge the weird new Kermit voice? Their review of Muppets Now basically spent half its word count shitting on the far superior 2015 Muppets and never once even mentioned “btw Kermit sounds completely unlike Kermit.”

I swear there’s an episode of Dinosaurs where the B-plot is that their favourite sitcom introduces an annoying baby character and the network keeps retooling the show to focus more and more on the baby character, even though everyone hates it.

I have watched the 2015 Muppets through three times. It was everything I wanted from a modern Muppet show. It’s telling that this review trashes on that show while not even mentioning that Kermit no longer sounds anything like Kermit.

I miss the days when Canada was part of North America.

Ah, see, I was very wrapped up in how people’s lives were affected by various decisions in Dark, but by the time Lost finally wrapped up, I had grown to hate most of the characters.

I’m not entirely sure what people found dissatisfying about Dark’s ending. Yes, season three was very confusing at first, but it did such a good job of conveying a very complicated concept while keeping the mystery going, that by the mid-point of the season I had a pretty solid grasp of everything.

I liked season 3. I actually think it would have helped the story they wanted to tell if it had been a little longer. A bit more time to get to know characters that seemed like they were going to be very important like Agnes and Silja might have helped stick the landing better. Also, I could always stand more screen…
