Saw the trailer for this before Pig, and I was definitely intrigued. Definitely couldn’t bring my wife though, I’ll have to sneak out for that one. And Pig reminded me a lot of Mandy in a way, but less violent, and, well, with a pig.

Yeah I can’t wait for my dad to get wind of this. I’ve cited Snopes to him on numerous occasions.

I sure hope that’s a red herring. Seems cheap to introduce a new character so late in a show to have him be the dead one. Also, Shane hasn’t even met Greg, at least not yet, and didn’t he watch the box get loaded on the airplane, as if there was someone he knew in there? I still don’t think it’s Rachel in there…

Zork!

And mine! Robicund apostates! Actually, it seems like almost any two adjacent words from that passage could work as a band name.

Yeah my wife and I recommended this to my parents before we got to the final scene of episode 4. We’re hoping they don’t get around to it now. I don’t look forward to having that discussion at the dinner table.

Of course, as a privileged straight white male, maybe I’m being trolled. I like all the other takes on Quinn as well. I’ll just take a seat.

I’m not so sure. His denial to his father may have been reflexive, as that question might have felt like a bit of an ambush. Then, on the beach, he was trying to jerk off to lesbian porn and lost interest, dropping the phone and giving up. Then he absolutely stared at the ripped Hawaiians a bit too long if you ask me,…

But, but Midsommar...

I don’t think Shawn is being gaslit. I think Shawn thinks he knows what gaslighting is. 

As satisfying as ashes in Shawn’s face would have been, that trope has been done a few too many times now. I was surprised but also glad they didn’t go that route.

Yeah mid-40s gamer dad here, and I don’t even try new games on regular difficulty anymore. My backlog gives me anxiety enough as it is, I don’t need to get my ass handed to me repeatedly by some miniboss, forcing me to watch some YouTuber show me how easily it can be done in 30sec, only for me to still get slaughtered …

One commenter a while back wrote that he gave controllers without batteries to his two kids to use while he played. They actually thought they were helping  and everybody had a great time!

Because she’s already such a better actor than him, and she knows she has the chops to convince him that she really believes that was the best acting she’s ever seen. He was gaslit by a 10-year old!

Try Lifetime

Yeah I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much fun I’ve had with the indies on GamePass. Especially ones like Void Bastards. And I highly recommend Neon Abyss. It’s so much fun to find an OP build and just crush everything.

Yeah I felt obligated to play this as an Xbox owner and after a few hours I just couldn’t bring myself to care, it was so slow, and when I got stuck I couldn’t even bother to google search my way through it. Sad for the only Xbox exclusive game that was also free with GamePass.

Go Roger! I’ve always been so torn about Roger and David’s rivalry. They were always so much better as Floyd than their solo careers. They both seem to have valid points, yet they’re both so goddamn bitter it’s hard to watch whenever they make the news. This bit about liner notes on an Animals remaster?? Seems so…

Huh. Found this on Zappa Wiki Jawaka:

Please don’t tell me Zappa thought Clapton was good enough to play on one of his albums!
