Yeah that’s a good description. Watched four episodes: I don’t hate it - I find Carrell and Malkovich very compelling - but it does feel kind of like a hybrid, tripping over its own (very impressive but tonally odd) cinematography.

This may sound strange, but I feel like the show should either be funnier or less funny.

I’ve got an ad-blocker.

Literally never seen or heard of this game until this moment.

I’m in Canada, so $450 sound super cheap to me. I’ve seen them as high as a grand here.

Nathan Fillion isn’t aging and it’s really starting to worry me.

And I the same to you, given that Presidential primaries and Presidential elections are very different contexts that historically have had very different turn-outs among youth voters, who tend to vote more in elections than they do in primaries.

Contextually, the distinction matters a heck of a lot.

“Ask Bernie how it worked for him either time.” Given that Bernie was never on the ticket for a presidential election, this seems like a weird thing to ask him.

Speaking as a Canadian we all groaned when the entire establishment lined up behind Biden since he was the weakest possible choice, based entirely on this unhinged belief that a dislike of Trump saves the Democratic party from having to donor say anything to appeal to anyone but their literally rapidly-dying

Also I’m fairly certain we don’t permit civilians to own rocket launchers.

Because why the ever-loving fuck would you allow civilians to own rocket launchers?

I am thinking back on Gaiman’s work and largely being baffled at these constant references to steampunk.

American Gods isn’t steampunk. Neither is Neverwhere, The Sandman, his good or bad episodes of Doctor Who, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Good Omens, Anasi Boys, Coraline, The Graveyard Book, Norse Mythology,

People had a lot of negative things to say about Bill Cosby for a very long time, it’s just that nobody spread them very far because they didn’t want to think about it.

“The Riff-Along will also be carried via the MST3K channels on Pluto TV, Stirr, Xumo, Redbox, and Vizio.”

Any single one of those work outside the US? Or is this the usual bullshit?

In the defence of the camera work and generally stiltedness - from my understand the entire series was shot in two weeks because of scheduling conflicts.

Was super psyched for this and discovered immediately that it’s completely inaccessible for anyone with a visual impairment or even just a large monitor, but hey, at elast I didn’t spent money on a literally unplayable game.

This game has possibly the worst dungeon designs in any Zelda game. They’re ugly, confusing, and just soul-crushingly unfun to play, especially compared to Ocarina’s more cohesive level design.

You seen the price of oil lately?

I’ve enjoyed some RiffTracks, but others are just kind of mean, or feel like I’m watching a bunch of old dudes get cranky at the existence of young people.

It’s one of the phone apps, I’m pretty sure. (Don’t own the game, watching Let’s Plays.)

The Expanse is great but perhaps a terrible choice for a distraction during a pandemic.

Having party affiliation in the text would be nice - always good to know when corruption is party-focussed or covers everyone.
