I follow Fredrick “Down The Rabbit Hole” Knudsen, who’s been working on a deep dive into EVE Online for over a year now. I think he had so much controversy he wanted to cover that he had to trim the video down, and it was still about 5 hours long. He’s almost finally done, and I feel bad, because so much shit has

The only things really coming up on “Max” that I have any interest in are things we already knew about— Peacemaker season 2, and both the Venture Bros. and Metalocalypse movies.

I’m done with HP after JKR ruined it with her TERF bullshit. I think I’m just going to read fantasy books by queer and queer-friendly authors

Absolutely love Kelly’s work. Been reading Manly Guys Doing Manly Things for years, & she’s been kind when I asked for advice on working in “the industry” (she was an animator on Ben 10, among others).

Now playing

I’d love if this team went on to do a Sly Cooper movie, seeing as they went to great lengths to do a Star Fox fan series, and Nintendo was...not happy. I thought it was fantastic, though.

I should point out Animal Crossing ALREADY has a movie, it just never made it to the States (it was based on the GameCube game, but

I wrote off House of Leaves when it initially came out because my then-boyfriend acted very pretentious about reading it (“I’m one of the few who truly understands what’s going on in this book because I’m actually intelligent enough to get it”,) but I should eventually check it out. It’s probably more of my kind of

Female celebrity’s manager: There’s some AI videos of you floating around the internet.
Female celebrity [rightfully horrified]: ...Oh God. It’s deepfaked porn, isn’t it?
Manager: No, oddly enough, it’s an AI-generated video of you eating spaghetti like a hamster while wearing a giant sun hat.
Female celebrity: I...what?

I have a feeling trade shows are failing for the same reason some magazines are failing: It’s not worth it to buy a magazine for only the one article that interests you, and it’s not worth it to spend a lot of money traveling to a trade show, getting a hotel, and eating at restaurants for every meal if you’re

I’ll probably enjoy this more than I enjoyed the film-- I thought the film was too short and trimmed out a lot of Scott’s slow character development from the comic.

You never entirely beat cancer, you’re always in remission.

Surviving also doesn’t change the fact that he had to go through it as a child, something you can’t change.

At CVS we were told to explain that gift card scams are a thing, and offer to call the police if they felt threatened, but there were so many people who came in all the time just to buy gift cards and nothing else, and insisted they knew the person they were buying the card for, and nothing shady was going on. “I need

Drives me nuts that when I read comic previews, the “10 page previews” are really just six variant covers and four actual pages.

I don’t mind them when they involve actual stuff from the comics (like the DC and Marvel Pride covers with canonically LGBTQIA+ characters on them), or the equal opportunity swimsuit covers.

A lot of Marvel variant covers bug me for the same reason. They’re doing a “Spider-Verse” month soon, with Mary Jane, Hulk, Daredevil, etc. all dressed as Spider-Men. None of these characters have spider powers.

I remember someone suggesting all the discarded Funkos could be recycled into records, since they’re vinyl,

Do Django Unchained and Inglourious Bastards count as revenge movies?

As genuinely fascinating as the history behind the game itself is, I was really hoping it’d be a grim, gritty Battleship-type film where the L-Block got a tragic backstory that I could watch with friends while drunk.

I think Ezra Miller is being brought up because literally anything involving Marvel or DC, even tangentially, starts up stupid “which is better” arguments.

There are so many people involved in the films for either Marvel or DC that it wouldn’t be surprising if abusive people starred in both companies’ movies. This also

American gamers who play Japanese games similarly have zero interest in “Americanizing” Japanese games. I’m reminded of how Yakuza: Dead Souls bombed here, despite having lots of zombies and guns, but Yakuza 0 did very, very well because they let you run around, eat tons of authentic Japanese food, and run a hostess

Not for romantic reasons (this has to do with younger siblings, not an SO), but I have hangups about games as a whole.

My siblings and I have the reverse personalities than you’d expect from our birth order (I’m the oldest and the most shy, my younger siblings are the loud, assertive ones). My brother and sister used

I’m always surprised by the non-zero amount that anti-Semitic tropes show up in Japanese or Korean works. I was always under the impression the Jewish community was less than 1% of the population of either Japan or South Korea, so there wouldn’t be enough of us Jews to even make a dent on their perception of anything.

Resident Evil 4 came out at a time when I was not legally old enough to buy M-rated games. So I just said, “I’ll play it when I get older. The game will still be there.” And then I just...forgot.

I keep hearing either “it’s the best game ever” or “it’s the worst game ever purely because of Ashley”. I’ll try to decide

1. What I think happened is they stitched together a bunch of pre-existing, tangentially related Peppa storybooks or episodes (which is typical of games aimed at very young kids), added interactive elements, and then the Queen’s death happened after they had already committed to adapting the “Peppa Meets The Queen”
