That’s fine. I don’t remember him being in those movies anyway.

“How many times do you watch a trailer and go, ‘Oh my god, this looks so cool!”

Almost never. The art of trailer-making is dead.

“which itself almost fell apart in 2019 as Spider-Man: Far From Home was becoming a billion-dollar theatrical success

Which is still weird because Far From Home was really crummy.

Kotaku keeps making these ‘is anyone still playing’ articles for single-player story games and it’s baffling.

A franchise that was thriving wouldn’t have cancelled Prodigy, its only unalloyed good entry in over a decade.

Ican see the art, my dude. It’s right there. It’s not good.

If only Mass Effect Andromeda or Subnautica: Below Zero let me do the same...

Who is Nora Roberts?

Like cum through the anal tract, these are the Lays of our Dives.

It sold 2.6 million copies at last count.

I think Disco Elysium is a fucking masterpiece but there’s this very strange idea that its an obscure indie darling and not a monumental success that was plastered for months across all the gaming journals and has a massive fandom.

“Nolan, who is so into analog recording that he made IMAX figure out black-and-white 65mm film” and then spent three hours proving himself a poser who couldn’t make the black and white footage look any better than an instagram filter because he didn’t know how to light, stage, or set-design in such way as to play to…

Emilia didn’t need to be told she would become ‘evil’ you know it by book 2 and have it demonstrated in book 3: Daeneyrs is in way over her head, knows far less than she thinks she does, and is doomed by her own ignorance and hubris.

I mean it’s depressing enough that people enjoy the completely visusal and aural incoherence of your average Twitch stream, hard to think AI randomness will be any different.

I adore that movie and have watched it so many times.

There’s a looseness that reads like AI wrote this article: it is singularly unfocused and never meanders its way to anything resembling a point.

I can’t even get the first game to run properly on my PS4, no way I’m touching the sequel.

“But these memes also flattened Oppenheimer’s severity, creating a space for people to make jokes about an actual tragedy.”

It’s fine. The movie flattens itself as it doesn’t have the courage of its convictions and ends up dropping that whole ‘consequences of the atomic bomb’ thing in favour of an hour of RDJ being…

Felt this way about Fell Seal, a game I want to like but don’t because it’s... just not very good. The worldbuilding is uninspired, the art design generic, the classes unexciting.

Mutants make a terrible stand-in for minorities anyway, because being afraid of a group that repeatedly throws up members who try and end the world using their own destructive superpowers is a very rational prejudice.

This more than anything is why I think the Big Two are just going to run into more and more problems at the years go on: less and less people enjoy this kind of cyclical, nothing-ever-lasts storytellings. People like narratve arcs that conclude, characters who change and stay changed and yes - they even like it…
