Oh god, Kotaku’s comment functions are notoriously depreciated - I’m not sure it HAS a PM/DM function any more. My steam ID is 76561198025118397. You?

I could make a stab at getting it to run under wine—that sometimes proves unexpectedly fruitful. Mac support will come eventually I feel confident simply because the underlying code is already Mac and Linux compatible - it’s not like they have to port the whole game, just parts of it. Regardless, when I have the money…

As a long-time DF player I was ready for a day-one purchase despite it not being available on Mac yet but then I ran right into that $40+ price tag. I am unemployed and it’s Christmas: I can’t justify the expense at the moment. And so I wait.

Imagine looking at the state of the world in 2022 and deciding the best thing you can do with your money at Christmas is to... give it to a multi-millionire.

Wow.

It’s in the expanded edition of the Two Towers.

Well then you never engaged with a single work of art ever produced in the game, because that’s where it all comes up, constantly. Engravings, artifacts, statues, carvings, everything of that nature. You also can’t have checked any dwarf’s family history, since (other than I think your starting dwarves), they’re all…

And everyone in here should sit there asses down and listen to my tale of Denton the Good and the media utopia he once ruled, and how we should all lament the coming of the Monster Hogan.

I didn’t spend six weeks learning how to play the lute off of Youtube to let this skill just sit fallow so eat your damned pulled…

I don’t think I’d call anything either Groot or Mario says as an onomatopoeia. 

This isn’t diegetic to Mushroom Kingdom, though. This is just the state to which the editing on former-Gawker sites has fallen. When Nick Denton reigned over that lost media empire, each website had two full-time editors whose sole job was to make sure writers knew their shit when it came to titles, royal or otherwise.

“Her Majesty Princess Peach”

‘Her ’Highness’ and variations thereof. No princess - not even one regnant - is a ‘majesty.’

But it’s not a good movie for babies and young kids. It’s bizarrely violent and dark. As a parent I’d be furious taking a kid to that film, it’s a goddamn creepy movie.

Not to be ‘that guy’ but the setting of Spy X Family is ersatz Weimar Germany, or at the very least it is ‘between the wars’ - not the Cold War. The cars, the fashion, the architecture: all of it is reminiscent of the 20s and 30s (Post-war Germany didn’t have a lot of nice buildings still standing). When the show does…

Brains from Thunderbirds?

Never seen Monsters v. Aliens but I have always been appreciative of the lead’s cool white hair on the poster.

... shit, that character IS a tribute to Robot Monster. God... damn it...

I finally saw Good Dinosaur a few years back.

I found it hateful - and I mean that in the sense that it angered me and was actively distasteful. Unpleasant, miserable, ugly movie - Cars 2 finally dethroned as the inarguable worst thing Pixar has ever done, and movie has Larry the Cable Guy making tired, borderline-racis…

Fascinating indeed, and I’d also like to thank you for this conversation, which was civil and enlightening.

Okay, so, my question is genuine and if this response bores you then don’t feel the need to engage.

But:

Cat fancying makes sense if you like cats. You can own a cat with (relatively) little effort and find a lot of framework that enabled that, or you can have and empathetic connection from a cat by watching a cat…

I also give Lucca more of a pass because I really, really, really liked it.

But more generally all of these films looking kinda samey doesn’t mean that they are good or bada s movies - some are great, some are awful, one was the bafflingly overhyped Encanto - but they’re films. They are have their own quality. But…

“Doreen Green has always been a fun superhero, but recent comics like Unbeatable Squirrel Girl have really amplified exactly what she’s capable”

I read through all the pre-Ubeatable Squirrel Girl comics recently, and the phrasing of this is just silly. Outside of her fun first appearance at the back of an Iron-man…
