🤨, really? It’s very specific and just old enough to not be commonly used anymore.

“Morrissey’s a xenophobic has-been.” Damn Gen-Z smartass, how dare he...make that totally accurate statement.

I find it weird that you don’t see the byline but ok...unless you mean the title makes it an Ash article

Is it weird that I can tell when Ash Parris writes an article just by reading the title?

If you’re doing 20+ drinks a night, you might have bigger issues than your tipping strategy.

And, y’know, I respect that some people don’t want to play with subtitles on. All for making it an option that people who don’t want them can disable.

Some of us *need* them on (/raises hand), so games that start without them on, ESPECIALLY games that have a cold open without subtitles, thus thrusting us into the…

I haven’t really been following AC since 3, but I suspect none of their endings will match the skyscraper-sized fondue of cheesiness that is the end of AC2

Every time I read “Terry Pratchett (1948-2015)“.

Grave of the Fireflies is #1 with a bullet. 

“What can the harvest hope for but the care of the Reaper Man?”

Another good example of a normally light show getting emotional is the ending of Blackadder Goes Forth. For the most part its a dark comedy about ww1. But the last five minutes turns into this sad farewell as all the characters leave the trenches... and it cuts to fields of red poppys. No jokes. Just a sad admission…

That recalls my memory of seeing Les Miserable the Broadway show.  So many people trying not to cry when everyone is getting gunned down.

I suspect Star Wars would have flopped and never become the juggernaut it became without John Williams’ music.  Seriously.

Exactly.

Yes. Men. Acting like they are just scratching their suddenly itchy eyes...

The original Watership Down? I was in a theatre and it’s painful to hear people trying not to cry.

Things that need to rest overnight. I plan for today today.
