Season 3 and 4 of Korras are outright excellent television. Season 1 is a bit messy owing to the fact that is was allegedly supposed to be a contained one-season sort of thing and then was commissioned as a series and then wasn’t again and so it wraps itself up a little too quickly and neatly and strangely because it…

I find the normalization of chat overlays to be the most baffling thing about twitch streaming. I don’t understand who gives a shit, who wants to see the endless doomscroll of random bullshit overlayed with the content they’re watching. it’s up there with the sad egomaniacs who pay for the privelege of hearing their…

Question: who is the woman crying in the background of the header image?

I really expected the OTP from Usagi Drop to make this list.

I don’t exclude it from canon bu the series is forever burdened by the extremely stupid choices it made (while separating Korra from her Avatar past lives makes sense in the narrow sense of maybe not wanting Aang to show up as a deus ex machina at the end of every season, it rips from the show one of Avatar’s defining…

“as a brand, Whole Foods is generally known as a health food store geared toward “urbanist” shoppers who often discuss the brand on social media.”

Aka ‘insane people.’

I have never known a game to be more hostile to new players. If you weren’t there from the start, Destiny holds you in contempt and makes no effort to onboard you. It sucks, and I’ve ditched the game after two attempts to get into it.

That’s not obscure trivia, that’s the primary thing anyone did in those games. You didn’t even need the import of SC files, just use the unlock cheat I AM THE CEO OF MCDONNEL DOUGLAS, enter the hanger, then exit again - it unlocked along with all the other choppers. If you type RADIOACTIVITY the nuclear reactors will e…

Gaspar’s the one I can never remember.

To be fair, while this may have been the specific method used to hack Axie Infinity on that one hack, if the news is anything to go by all you need to do to hack crypto-anything is simply have the free time.

Live-streamed shaky portrait-mode footage of someone’s laptop screen with said footage one-third covered by constantly scrolling text from viewers commenting on the footage.

I’ll be honest, everyone, I just straight-up don’t understand why we’re okay with this from the standpoint of ‘visual clarity’ and ‘viewer…

I apparently can’t insert links into comment any more (???) but 12ft [dot] io will get you past most Atlantic paywalls.

Got the credits rolling on Psychonauts 2, would add it to a lift of game that invite joy. - even with its heavy subject matter it approaches it with humour, warmth, and boundless creativity.

Genuine question rom someone who has never played but spent years reading the news: why do people play Overwatch if nothing the game ever does ever makes them happy? Everyone always seems permanently disappointed when they’re not actively angry. So who keeps playing and why?

Stop trying to make ‘Grogu’ happen. It’s never going to happen.

I look forward to the next eight posts about it on Web3IsGoingJustGreat.

That one teaser from way back when looks worse every year. I don’t mean the graphics, I mean the tone—I would hope as a society that we’ve moved past the reflexive belief that grittier, more vulgar, this-ain’t-your-parents-Beyond-Good-And-Evil is an intrinsically worthy endeavour. WE’VE GOT A MONKEY THAT SAYS ‘MOTHERFU…

“If a film isn’t actually good it won’t stick around long.”

Given how often he’s not actually on set and it’s just his body doubles, it’s entirely possible he’s never actually spoken to her.

(You used to be able to hyperlink text but apparently not any more, so here’s a stupid long link about how Bryce Dallas Howard directed an episode of Mando but never had the opportunity…

I mean I said it above, but the dude’s name is Bryce. Nothing good has ever come from a dude named ‘Bryce.’
