Lol at bringing out the beepers for the Beeper King.

I really, really hate how Boyle has been written this season, to the point that I dread his appearances. I don’t think it’s Joe Lo Truglio’s fault either; the writers have amped up his obsessive, gross qualities. He’s been totally flanderized.

Very few games have featured a crafting system that I consider worthwhile. Prey did a good job of it by integrating it into the gameplay; defeating enemies and clearing obstacles yields raw materials, so you rarely feel the need to go on treks to search for ingredients. And Kingdom of Loathing turned the whole…

Still playing Baba Is You. Reached the completion thresholds for both the Chasm and the Cavern. Now at the Mountaintop. Still not sure how the LONELY adjective works, but solved a puzzle nonetheless, so yay?

Oh superb, Kinja won’t let me delete my own comments. Jesus fuck, this commenting system is a tire fire.

Oops, wrong thread.

While the N64 did have a pressure-sensitive analog controller, it’s possible to beat Super Mario 64 in emulation using a keyboard. I know, because I’ve done it.

There are a bunch of bizarre factual errors in this article. As others have pointed out, Bloc Party released an LP between Intimacy and Hymns, entitled Four. They also released an EP, The Nextwave Sessions, in that time, so the gap between Intimacy and Hymns was hardly a period of inactivity. Moreover, those two…

Yeah, I can’t think of any context in which AWITC was “maligned.” It’s not as beloved as its predecessor, but it received a lot of accolades. Intimacy is when critical response started to slip.

I’d love to do that too, but they’ve shown Liv being taken over by the brains too since at least season 3, since the powers that be seem to think it’s great for comedy.

I hate to say it, but I was on Petra’s side in her argument with Jane, and I think the writers are too much in Jane’s corner. Petra is absolutely right that Jane’s desire to “explore her feelings for Michael” is fucking up their family dynamic, and Petra has every right to be pissed about that. She’s not obligated to…

They’re probably worried about a couple of things:

Cloks, buddy, you’re still around! How’ve you been?

It’s not for nothing that Tarantino’s preferred version of the film came with an actual, no-fooling intermission.

Thanks! I managed to defeat him last night in about a half-dozen attempts. I used roughly the same strategy as I did with the bull in front of Ashina Castle: run around like crazy; get in a few hits every time he takes a swig or spews poison; and blast him with the Shinobi firecracker every now and then. I also had to…

Gonna dive back into Sekiro this weekend. I’ve been a lot more open to just exploring and seeing what I can do. I’ve kind of sequence-broken the game by getting too far in the present and not completing Hirata Estates (Juzou is a huge pain) but that’s alright; I’m still discovering and unlocking new areas.

Oh for sure. I should have qualified that with “visibly” or “ostensibly.” I just feel like it’s super out of step with what one might expect their brand image to be, which I guess is why it works.

I still don’t know how to feel about Pornhub turning out to be the most socially responsible company of the Internet age.

I know that if these cinematic/cutscene trailers didn’t work, marketing departments wouldn’t waste their time making them, but as someone who follows video game news relatively closely, it’s always frustrating not to see gameplay. I don’t care how fancy-shmancy the graphics are if the game looks like it plays like…

I completely agree. Almost nothing about this episode worked for me. Brooklyn Nine-Nine has felt weirdly didactic this season, and it’s sacrificing good jokes and clever plotting in the process.
