...it certainly feels weird forking over $70 to play something that’ll probably wind up on Netflix in about four years.

Personally, I’d call them piss-yellow. I was astounded they went with that color when I first saw it.

I JUST learned about “The Autopsy” and its place in the “splatterpunk” genre. Really good timing to get an adaptation, looking forward to it.

Couldn’t put it better. I’m still baffled this was greenlit; it’s like they decided Andor was Poochie and they just NEEDED us to love him.

Companies and major tech mix so poorly. I applied to a job in another state earlier this year, and they chose to communicate major news about interview dates and other stuff via text message. I wasn’t terribly interested in the job, but it really turned me off that I was being asked back to a second interview in the…

Weird and gross? If you say so. I remember reading Raimi saying something like, “It doesn’t really make sense for a 15-year-old kid to invent something at home the 3M corporation hasn’t been able to do,” and that was a good enough explanation to me. I mean, look at Holland’s Spidey in Civil War. A hoodie, some…

Speaking for myself, I wasn’t that impressed by the movie. Couldn’t care one way or another whether it gets a sequel (and it’s really not the kind of story that benefits from one, IMO).

But reading an article that, like OP said, is 75% “Ugh, this stupid freaking movie is getting a stupid freaking sequel and it’s gonna…

Much rather watch this than Loki. I simply do not understand why so many people like the latter.

Which would you fix first, “I can’t travel via spaceship to other planets,” or “This freaking goop keeps spilling out of my mouth”? ^_^

I think there should be some new word to stand in for “I utterly and completely disagree with you, to the point I’m a little disgusted you said that, but I have no interest in insulting or hurting you just because I disagree.” If we had this, maybe it’d help people express their emphatic disagreement without saying…

It’s strange to me that a lot of people who decried that one senator’s online ad showing him as an Attack on Titan hero taking out titans with the faces of AOC and Biden (and Pelosi, IIRC?) would probably love to boot up Minecraft and kill some effigies. The wheel keeps turning, I guess...

Back when I was in seminary, I met a man who told me he only played games early on Saturday morning. Why? His wife didn’t like video games, so he never played them when she was awake. I thought, but didn’t say, something like, “I would hate to believe my wife deserved that much deference.”

What would you say marks the cut-off from “old Lol” to “new Lol”?

I played for years and slowly watched how every new champ seemed to have to change the fundamental rules of the game, slowly losing my patience for this. Then we lost 3v3, which just never made sense. I finally quit when they revamped the item store and…

If someone says, “You deserved the nom,” and you immediately take offense to that, yeah, that sounds like “You said I look nice today; does that mean I don’t look nice on other days?”

But if they find you again and repeat that part specifically, “the nom”? Yeah, I think they’re trying to tell you something, and I think…

I think you are vastly, VASTLY, underestimating how much modern advertisement relies on “incomprehensible gibberish.”

FWIW, I agree with you completely. The ads are designed to be something a person quickly imbibes on their way to doing something else, and thus “side hustle” is just a cute joke in the vein of “soy lattes are my spirit animal” or “You’ve heard of hot girl summer, now get ready for comic reader winter.” The people who…

It’s not. His tats have always put the stars on the left side.

Awesome.

Awesome.

I just starrted replaying it three days ago and I’d love to hear you expand your opinion on the game’s misogyny. I’m skipping the cutscenes bc yeah, the story isn’t very good no matter how you see it.
