Yeah, I kind of want this story from the perspective of the actual Soviet/Russian designer who made the game, and was at the center of the legal battle for rights to it after the collapse of the Soviet Union, rather than the story about the American guy who brought it to the west and tried to copyright it. Adding a…

There’s definitely the implication that something has happened to Peter and May going into Civil War and Homecoming. You can see boxes around like they’re just moving in to the apartment, and there’s a line about “After everything May has been through recently...”

His suitcase in Far From Home says BFP presumably for…

Some Wallers look like Angela Bassett, or Cynthia Addai-Robinson for some reason, or even Pam Grier! 

I once saw an episode of the show Nashville, where a character gets pulled over driving into a suburban park and complains to the cop “I have to be downtown in 5 minutes!”

I never watched the show past that scene, so maybe the character is a known compulsive liar or something, but it was very funny.

Yeah, I don’t have a problem with most of the other acquisitions, tbh. Sony especially made some great buys, and it’s like you said, for some of these smaller developers, it’s kind of the dream. The problem is Bethesda’s history and size.

Xbox’s purchase of Bethesda pisses me off so much, more than the publishers and studios Sony has acquired for PlayStation. Sony mostly acquired mid-sized developers and up-and-coming publishers. Bethesda was a massive, well-liked company with over a 20 year history of cross-platform releases. And now most of their…

The article starts by saying that it won’t count Disney’s acquisitions, and will only focus on movies produced by Disney. And then immediately includes all the Pixar movies, movies made by a studio that is not Disney that Disney acquired.

It means they don’t want to do the actual journalistic work of understanding it. Although I appreciate the snark somewhat, of presenting these ruling class elites as literally a different insectoid species. 

I don’t think so. Removing the “politics” from the movie makes the politics more invisible, which helps the propaganda. The military is defending us from this faceless, all-powerful other. We’re not actually even presented for why they’re antagonistic other than the US doesn’t want them to have a nuclear weapons…

The point is that as long as she is alive and holds the rights, she financially benefits from every sale of the game, and she puts her money towards anti-trans groups like the LGB Alliance. It’s not just about the moral impurity of buying something associated with a transphobe - if it were that it might be something I…

Yeah it honestly feels like a missed opportunity, it could have been something really fun. Instead we got... this

Amazing that this article fails to mention Harry Potter ending and JK Rowling’s bizarre journey into transphobia since then, Xi Jinping coming to power in China, Occupy Wall Street, the rise of the MCU and the return of Star Wars and the ensuing fandom battles that resulted from that, the entire run of Game of…

She’s only made three movies, with Wonder Woman her first in 14 years. Monster was pretty good, WW84 was pretty bad, so I guess what you think of Patty depends on how you feel about the first Wonder Woman movie.

It honestly sounds a lot like a food-based version of Theatre of Blood!

Letitia Wright also followed and liked tweets from accounts promoting  conversion therapy, which always gets left out of these stories.

Crimean War was over 60 years prior, I meant to edit that to be “had been adversarial with Russia” - which they had been, more or less, for most of the 19th century. But yes, the bit about them being mostly friends is hilarious, and I also laughed out loud.

I actually had access to the correspondences of the British Foreign Office during the Russian Revolution and Civil War for a research project. In reality, it seems as though George V was initially wanting to help the Romanovs, but Lloyd George was cautious about it because he felt under threat from the Labour Party at…

They eventually did release Code Veronica on the PS2. Fun fact: It was the original intended Resident Evil 3 and was developed with “Resident Evil 3" as its codename for most of production. Capcom felt that Dreamcast was more suited for their technical ambitions than PS1. Resident Evil: Nemesis was considered as a…

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also did three arcs in one season for Season 4 - they called them “pods”. Honestly, I’m baffled that more of these shows didn’t take notice of that and also do it, because it is so much better pacing. The CW should have immediately applied that structure to all of their DC shows as well.

They’re more protecting their movie, and in this specific case their franchise - DC is in shambles, and this movie - which has already been filmed, and includes the returns of Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton - is supposed to use Flashpoint to sort out the whole DC Universe mess. Not to mention that it has been a $200…
