I think he died on his way back to his home pod.

I think we’re just nostalgic for a show that featured good and decent people working in government rather than whatever we have these days in the White House.

K Rool’s counter only blocks attacks from the front. His belly (he’s a body positive thicc boi) protects him but leaves him vulnerable to the back and above unlike most other counters. Timing is something you’ll have to figure out on your own (or look up videos).

Previously I had been playing level 9s. Now I’m on 8s (though should be moving to 9s soon I hope), and they actually edge guard! It’s crazy. The AI is kind of playing like people do.

The world would be better off if everyone were queer 

I’m guessing you’re not Latinx? She’s still a big deal in that community (less so, of course, than before, but that’s just due to new generations).

You also unlock the characters by normal playing of the game in Vs mode (also classic; also the spirits mode). No longer do you have to reach 1400 feet in Home Run Contest. There aren’t any weird unlock conditions. You’re unlocking characters while fighting, which you are already doing by playing the game anyway.…

Is “donk subculture” the actual name or a typo for “dork”? Honestly can’t tell (though i’ll google)

You know what will surely stop people from responding? Replying all again telling people to stop responding. 

You must have missed this line from the final paragraph: “The problem is that, for all of their cycloid-scale costumes, nacreous architecture, and giant cargo turtles, the Atlanteans aren’t any fun.”

Todd’s saying “There’s so much fucking TV these days that good shows can get lost in the shuffle even when your job is to know TV.” It’s not a statement about anyone’s job performance; it’s a statement about how crazy flooded the TV landscape is.

I give a fuck, but only because HODA KOTB has two names that are perfect for crosswords, and I’ll be damned if I get stuck by that consonant pile-up again.

Former AV Club editor Todd VanDerWerff puts it well (today was the first time I’ve ever heard of this show):

I was also surprised by how well the relationship worked and how believable it was despite the relative lack of details and time devoted to it prior to that. 

Yeah, if they were still in the red room, that would make sense and would make the ending better. But it still doesn’t fix how the house had been monstrous and evil up until that last episode and then suddenly multiple people choose to die there like it’s American Horror Story. The ending was fine if the show that…

Free alcohol will certainly help with maintaining Santa weight. And the red cheeks and nose.

Except for that last episode. That one was bad in so many ways. And don’t send me those articles that are like “did you notice that there’s red in the cake scene? doesn’t that blow your mind?”. If you require THAT close of a reading of a scene to get across a major plot point (one that has major thematic resonance…

Joe Pera Talks With You is an utter delight from start to finish. Somehow he makes just the phrase “smallish cheesecake” into a hilarious punchline that isn’t even really a joke but still lands. Plus you get to learn strange fun facts that seem like a postmodern novel’s throwaway subplot but are in actuality real…
