It’s one of those things where its really easy to go “lol boomers,”

OK, the picture of the two of them sitting there and she’s holding the controller: adorable. My 76-year-old mom visited recently and she was able to figure out the PS5 controller well enough to get to Netflix and stuff.  She held it a similar way. 

There’s another aspect to the situation though where the old ‘spark’ and beloved games were built atop a pile of sexism and crunch conditions. (Also probably true across the industry.) Everyone gets excited when ex-Blizzard devs announce a new game studio, but I don’t just want them to go back to the ‘spark’ that made…

Gets job in August, leaves by December. “It’s because things are going almost TOO well here!”, she stated, sweating very heavily for some reason.

“Things aren’t going to get better, they’re going to get great!” - immediately grabs coat and sprints from office.

It’s not even they’re obfuscated by wealth, haves and have-nots, really. They’re just obfuscated by the understanding that, eventually, at some point, for a business to be successful, it needs to have a product that a customer is interested in purchasing.

Imagine having such a transactional mindset that you need your goddamn leisure time to be some kind of investment.

Agreed
Halloween (2018) was a fine sequel/soft reboot of the original. It had its problems but overall, seemed to understand the material.

Oh they telegraphed that sort of shit roughly 90 years ago.

Yep. We put our deposits down, and moved on. It’s a handheld console; there’s not exactly a ton to keep discussing.

My problem with New Nightmare is it throws out a lot of interesting meta ideas: Freddy tormenting a movie set, Robert Englund facing off against his own character, John Saxon becoming his character, Nancy being sucked into the movie!

But then it mostly settles on being a boring creepy kid movie. 

I love the cheapness and shoddiness of the Friday the 13th movies. Last time I tried to watch some of the later Nightmare on Elm Street movies it struck me that they were loud and nihilistic (and a little rapey), but they were also pretentious. Friday the 13th movies also take place in a surreal alternate reality, but…

Clearly I need to rewatch it. It certainly wasn't boring, but maybe suffered from me bingeing the Scream films shortly before - maybe its prescience is lost if you've already had your fill of what it led towards

I think Halloween 2 and 4 are unimaginative, sure, but certainly not awful. (Skipping 3 not because I think it’s awful but because it’s a Halloween film in name only.)

We should award points for above average films and deduct for below average. For me:

Environmentally friendly scams are still scams. Innovation in scamming is not something anyone should be open to.

Not really, you just vomited a bunch of poorly-coded hate speech and now you’re ‘just asking questions.’

White MAGA assholes kill their partners literally every day. Trying to turn this into a commentary on the social background of the persons involved isn’t just disingenuous, it’s lazy bearbaiting.

Go the fuck back to…

Yeah. I have a low tolerance for ignorant Islamphobia and misinformation 

Fuck you.
