I’m extremely happy for the representation. I cringed a bit at the wordplay surrounding it. I’m glad it wasn’t a total Mario Party like many other later entries in the RTD canon. I loved the nods to Jodie Whittaker, specifically the psychic paper bit, and when he said “I love her” followed by his realization that this…

I will always be grateful to this show for introducing me to Karan Soni. I dunno if the dude possesses any range beyond withering acerbity but he’s really good and funny at it.

Agreed. The one exception I’ll grant is Daniel Radcliffe’s stoned boobie-honk-into-pratfall in Oregon Trail. That was a real chef’s kiss moment.

When I clicked on this I thought it was going to be a (p)review of a second season to the show. The moment I found out it was a reality TV spinoff I think I barfed in my mouth a bit

Maybe I’ll finally get this game, now that they’re done beta-testing it on the people who actually cared about it enough to buy it when it released.

My wife (who is the TikTok user in our family) put his special on to see if I’d like him. Ten minutes in I was just like “when does he get funny”.

It is such an old and stale joke.

All of these updates and the only thing I care about is store UX. Let me know my supplies of items I’m considering buying, as well as which guns I have need which ammo without leaving the store and going into the menus. (I understand there are mods that do this but I play on Xbox.)

The actual thing - a $10 upgrade to native PS5 that uses the hardware to its fullest potential - makes perfect sense and is fairly priced. Calling it a “remaster” makes it sound like a cheap money-grab within 3 years of the game’s initial release. Good product, bad branding decision.

Where does one get said studio tokens?

Then it was just digital games. then it was GamePass instead of owning the games.

She’s a working actor. She’s not going to bite the hand that feeds her in an interview, and folks shouldn’t expect her to.

They still haven’t figured out how to do couch co-op well. If you’re the one in control with the crown it feels fine; if you’re anyone else then you’re extremely limited by the movement of the first player and will probably die pretty quick by being trapped off-screen. My 8-year-old loves playing as Yoshi with me, but…

Calling it now: Renslayer is a variant of Kang.

Skimmed a lot of this to avoid even potential spoilers. I already know that this is the game that’s selling me a PS5 this winter (for an extra $50 to get the slim, good timing Insomniac!).

I don’t know how you could dump on all the other Marvel finales while talking about Loki S1 like it wasn’t stuffed with 20 minutes of remarkably poorly paced exposition from Jonathan Majors’ making his very first appearance.

I deleted a (ha) I originally put in there because the sentence was already way too messy.

I’m of two minds about Roz. I think the character and Gilpin’s portrayal is luminous, but it’s a bit of sleight-of-hand how the writers used her sex positivity as license to play some pretty misogynist jokes for laughs. Sure she always came out on top - or at least never let the barbs do any real harm - but the laugh…

If they want to pull “a wizard did it” with all the Sheikah technology from the first game that’s fine with me. But the one piece of lore I kind of wish they would address is there not being a single mention of the Triforce, despite it being emblazoned on the hilt of the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield, and being re…

Looks like the existing PS5 Digital is 92mm x 260mm x 390mm, and the new one is 80mm x 216mm x 358mm. For a reduction of between about 9% to 17% in each dimension, or an overall reduction of 33% of space consumed.
