When almost every fucking centrolib dickhead on TV jumped on the Oprah bandwagon after that speech I wanted to jump out a window. Just transparent lack of any sort of awareness across the board.

Mara read the book herself and is actually accompanying Page on his book tour, so I imagine they’re chill with the reveal.

Yup, her first voice acting role too. Nowadays she’s more recognized for Life Is Strange’s Chloe and Horizon’s Aloy, but it was a hell of a debut - hard to find a more polarizing character from that era of games. I didn’t like her at all in Borderlands 2 but to her credit, she was excellent in the DLC and Tiny Tina’s…

A sweet takeaway from the memoir is the affair he had with Kate Mara with her then-boyfriend’s Max Minghella’s approval. It’s a small thing and obviously private, but idk, it’s always cool when I see folks entering queer/non-orthodox relationships and have it work out to some extent. Page’s insight that he fell into a…

Season 5 was probably the best yet, to the point where I was shaken this show can get better with time, so I am excited as hell.

I don’t think it’s entirely unfair. Barry had a lot of guilt, but he was almost comically unable to empathize with others. He felt guilty and uncomfortable over what he was doing because of what it did to him, but he never had even a sliver of compassion for his fellow human being. It was apparent even outside of his…

Exactly this. Kendall finally becoming daddy’s boy, except only in the sense that he ensured he’s gonna die alone and mourning him is gonna be complicated because he sure as hell didn’t suddenly become a CEO rockstar, is poetic as hell. He never had it in him to be Logan Roy II, the money maker, but when it came to be…

So what? If you want to go after an actor for saying yes to anything & everything, Nic Cage is right there.

The greatest irony is that Deadalic does adventure games almost exclusively and your pitch sounds like something up their alley. Why they decided to get this IP to make a movie tie-in level stealth game with PS3 graphics instead is beyond me.

It was a money issue. Some HBO exec said the problem was that it wasn’t doing gangbusters lke the Sopranos did while being much more expensive to produce than The Wire and back then they still didn’t know the Sopranos are more of an anomaly. It’s the same reason why they cancelled Carnivale and said they regret both…

No wonder Dwayne Johnson refused to come back for what we’re being told is an extended, multi-sequel last round-up for the Fast family.

There’s some stuff to be excited about here

I think she’s been married for a while! She wrote an excellent piece on Vox about her relationship with her wife in the context of her depression and the excellent You’re the Worst.

God, Sports Story was such a disappointment all around. I rarely regret my game purchases but I got that one day one on the strength of how much I enjoyed Golf Story and I still can’t bring myself to finish this broken, ill-designed thing.

Glad we got his perspective. Now, can somebody please FIND JA RULE, get a hold of this motherfucker so I can make sense of all this!

Of course I can’t delete this accidental mispost. Fuck Kinja.

...cool?

Playing Future Redeemed, the expansion pack to the phenomenal Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Absolute blast of a game that fills A LOT of the blanks from the whole Klaus trilogy. It’s nice to see Shulk and Rex as proper adults, especially when their portrayals aren’t just “dudes leveled up”. Shulk has become an even more…

“I am not mansplaining anything”, proceeds to mansplain how a woman should feel about her family history. Just take the L, my guy, you are way too invested in this shit.

I’ve thought Billie Lourde did fine in Scream Queens and since she suffered two losses back to back and was thrust into some kind of matriarchal role to protect her family’s legacy, I’ve wondered whether she’ll be able to hold it all together when I’ve seen her in news clippings and photos. My point was that it’s…
