Have you ever fucking been to a wedding? Most of them are tedious as fuck. Many could do with a few massacres to liven things up.

The Spartacus one is pretty famous among LGBTQ film buffs because of Vito Russo’s brilliant book The Celluloid Closet: Homosexuality in Movies which was turned into an (equally brilliant) documentary by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. That scene is discussed in-depth in the book and documentary.

And honestly, if…

I actually loved the part of the game where you meet Ashera and get to know her colony, because it’s the closest thing the game has to a comedic break. I love how exasperated Eunie gets with her.

I also really like how the fact that all of them kids creates an interesting context for everything they do. Every supposedly cringe outburst, tantrum or edginess stops being cringe because I immediately remember that half these kids aren’t even 15 years old in practice. Alexandria, Valdi and Ashera are such…

I finally reached Chapter 5 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on my commute yesterday, and damn this game goes *hard*. It did not need to go this hard. It could have coasted. But it’s willing to put its characters through the wringer and also do some pretty neat fakeouts.

I’m also at the start of Chapter 5 (not going to spoil anything because I don’t know how far you are into it), and damn, it’s some chilling, emotionally gutpunching stuff to see how these functional adolescents just don’t have any reference point for all of the stuff we take for granted. It’s really effective stuff.

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…

People who play visual novels and complain that they are, in fact, visual novels are so incredibly frustrating. Please go do that to literally any other genre and leave visual novels alone.  It’s ok to just acknowledge that a genre isn’t for you and move along.

I’m a bit confused by Kotaku’s Stray coverage. First, the complaints about the shooting, which took up maybe ten minutes of total playtime for a game that took me six hours to complete (and was pretty satisfying, seeing the little buggers explode like popcorn after they hunted me all throughout the beginning of the…

This is exactly and 100% what would have happened. Dude has Feelings because his kid didn’t like the ending, examines those feelings with the same nuance as a kid, gets mad like a kid when people side-eye his hot take.

I get the feeling they left that plot hook open exactly because it’s an obvious sequel, or DLC.

Oh no, kink positivity, whatever shall the white boys do??

Genuinely confused at the reactions by commenters who act like sex isn’t a thing 95%+ of adults do, including masturbation. BDSM isn’t my particular thing (and the header image makes me deeply uncomfortable, personally, because I wish it somehow indicated the character’s consent and I am also really TIRED of lolis…

Maybe Road Dogg can chip in from his “Whining About AEW Wrestlers Not Playing to the Hard Camera” fund.

“Here’s a good time to point out that Dunham has, many times, been a magnet for unjust criticism.”

It’s hilarious how often people think Dunham was actually claiming to be “the voice of a generation” and not using that line to indicate how aimless and underserved her generation felt.

“This is sex-positive Simple Jack.”

“The producers say she is not coded to be neurodivergent”

At your hotel the insecurity is VERY real.

And apparently 4th-wall breaks, like the comic!
