Was that Melanie Lynskey at 1:04? Don’t remember hearing she’d be in this

...I guess I just don’t understand what they could put in this book that’s worse than the stuff he proudly spouts on twitter every day, or has been repeatedly accused of before, or will just flat out deny despite whatever proof they have? Like, I really think whoever still supports him at this point will continue to…

I liked the game, but I certainly see your point too - the main characters are all VERY stupid, but I think they do a decent job of explaining why they’re this stupid? Like, if all you’ve ever known is violence and revenge and survival that ends up being a tough cycle to break?

That final act of the game seemed unnecessary for many reasons but one of them was that Lev served NO purpose there, to the extent that I was worried I’d just trip over his corpse at some point while fighting through the Rattler base. Like, he never got any closure or growth or anything, he just tags along with Abby…

Chicken owners everywhere: “yeah, seems about right”

I got most of my screenshots from kids playing Mario Kart and pressing literally EVERY button on the controller at once

Perfect, a game about cleaning and redecorating houses to distract me from cleaning and redecorating my own!

I hope you mention Spore at some point; don’t think I ever completed the GAME but I still mess around with the creature creator now, however many years later

Every time I see him, I can’t help but think it’s at least nice of him to look exactly how you’d expect him to: like a cartoon villain from the 70s designed to reinforce negative gay stereotypes.

So, would you recommend this for someone who’s never played a Monster Hunter game before? They’ve always been on my radar in a “that looks interesting” sort of way but I’ve never actually tried one.

They’re good games, but they’re just the husk of better games. I feel like I know that, because I’ve seen those better games.

I had a slightly different but equally depressing take on why the allegations against Spacey were taken seriously right away: they were made by a man, and men can be trusted (unlike those lying, gold-digging WHORES)

1: although your own coming out will be 100% easy and unproblematic, maybe don’t dismiss people with actual traumatic coming out stories as “whiny” just because you’re still a dumb teenager who thinks everyone experiences life the same way you do.

2: I know fooling around with straight guys who want to “experiment”…

My fifteen minutes of fame: an eagle strangled and ate our cat on our front porch when I was a kid and they put a picture of me looking sad in the local newspaper because “sad child” is apparently more reader-friendly than “bloody cat carcass”

Was kinda disappointed to see it’s just a QR code honestly, half the fun of these is when you start to see what it’s supposed to be (although I see how a picture of a dinosaur or whatever wouldn’t really tell me where to go next)

The actual GAME might have been pretty underwhelming at the end of the day, but I still play around with the creature creator every now and then.

Discworld is my favorite series of books, while also being the absolute WORST to try explaining to people who ask me what I’m reading! Once I mention witches or wizards or dragons or trolls people either go “oh, THAT kind of book” with barely concealed disdain or, maybe worse, go “oh, cool! So it’s like LotR?”

A reminder that turtles DGAF

I feel like the whole talking-in-rhymes thing has got to get really old really fast?

My favorite implication comes via the late great Terry Pratchett's DEATH in a short story where he's picking up some smug wannabe-intellectual atheist guy who points out that in an infinite number of worlds he's NOT actually dying - Death replies that this whole theory proves the existence of two places previously…
