Part of me wanted them to cast a drag queen to honor Divine’s inspiration, but part of me knows that that would have fanned the flames of the “all Disney villains are queer-coded” theory.

I’m so torn about this movie. More diversity should always be encouraged. Teach children while they’re young that people will look…

Fair enough.

Gorillaz was my first real exposure to rap (my family is EXTREMELY white), & I remember having the “Feel Good Inc.” rap memorized, much to my mother’s horror. I was in middle school, and that song was EVERYWHERE. RIP.

Now I want a Zelda movie that makes THIS canon:

Probably showing exactly what age I am here, but I grew up playing a lot of WarioWare Inc. and We <3 Katamari, so I’m happy to see the games being more accessible to others.

I was not, however, old enough to play games like Metroid Prime when it originally came out, and then I just...never had any idea how to get into…

I’m all for a bisexual South Asian Velma-- I’ve just held off on giving the show a chance because Mindy Kaling seems to be friends with a lot of openly transphobic celebs.

AMV Hell was the one I immediately thought of, as well.

Not every joke in that series landed, but luckily, the ones that didn’t were five seconds long at max and quickly went onto something else.

I have a soft spot for indie devs New Blood, so I’m hoping for some info on the Switch port of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity and some other games that they’ve been teasing for a while.

I don’t expect much of anything Zelda or Hollow Knight related. Pikmin 4 is a safer bet.

Switch port of Pizza Tower, perhaps?

I’d love a…

To be fair, there’s people college-age or older that weren’t even born when Columbo was initially airing. We shouldn’t forbid people from consuming media that’s older than they are.

My brain initially went to “some non-specific distant relative,” if only because I had an ex-coworker who was firmly convinced for a while that her & I were distantly related in some unclear way. “Convinced he’s Keanu’s son” makes much more sense.

Even in a case where they ended up actually being related, Keanu doesn’t necessarily owe him shit. Family is just as much about proximity as it is about blood-- if someone is a biological relative but has no emotional relationship to you, they may as well be a stranger.

My sister pays for our family’s Netflix, but she’s a doctor who works odd hours and infrequently gets to use it. Meanwhile, we lend her our Spotify Premium so she can listen to it during her downtime.

I’d argue Kingdom Hearts is fairly tame in how it handles the Disney characters— most of them aren’t allowed to cross over, they mostly follow the plots of their respective movies, and there’s no “this character suddenly becomes evil out of nowhere” stuff. Maybe it’s just that Disney has done what-if novels and stuff…

To paraphrase a friend who once put it better than I could: “Real men’s rights activists would care about the rights of men of color, gay men, and trans men, and they don’t.”

A couple unrelated thoughts based mostly on other comments here:

1. Whether or not FNAF or Factorio is “the more popular game” is an apples and oranges situation. Factorio has been around longer, but FNAF has spawned a lot of spinoff novels and other merch, as well as a lot of fan works. I will not deny popularity does…

I have a theory that a lot of technophiles (which includes hardcore AI fans and cryptobros) are just like, “neat, new technology, can’t wait to play around with it” and never consider the consequences.

Which is what sci-fi warned us about.

Most artists do not want to hear “look, I trained an AI on your drawings, potentially putting you out of work”.

Sorry for the error. 95% of the games I buy nowadays are indie games, save for a few triple A games I fork over a Collector’s Edition for.

YouTube. I think my mistake was commenting on YouTube to begin with.

It’s not just content creators. I’ve never posted a YouTube video, my icon is usually a male character who looks nothing like me, and I really only mention I’m female if it comes up in conversation.

This resulted in someone recently insisting that based on context, this meant I was a recently-out trans woman who hadn’t…
