The Steam reviews for the game are genuinely bizarre. I actually saw more of the anti-feminist nonsense in the positive reviews (variations on “great game, but it sucks that the girls are all wearing burqas”). The negative reviews (and there are tons) were exclusively about microtransactions and grinding.

I'm tempted to grab it, but since there will be a bunch of DLC characters and stuff, I'll probably just wait for whatever complete edition they put out later, since NRS still actually does those.

I had 2 pre-sale codes and still couldn’t manage to swipe tickets so I feel you.

It’s impossible to get tickets around here unless someone’s playing at the Pepsi center. Maggie Rogers also sold out immediately. 

the track where Lizzo rides the line between her down-to-earth personality and aspirations towards pop stardom most effectively is on album closer “Lingerie.” That song straddles tongue-in-cheek production and credible emotion quite effectively, featuring lusty spoken-word vocals over ironic Midnite Vultures synth

I just got tickets this morning to see her in a couple months. Should be a fun show!

same. i had no idea it was connected. considering that The Conjuring was a modern classic, its sad to see how formulaic the rest of the universe films have been and that kind of includes the sequel which wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great either. I don’t know, I am still holding out hope that Conjuring 3 will be

I love Joel, I even went to a taping of his Netflix show and got a picture with him after!  And I thought it was hilarious because the first time he yelled it seemed like genuine excitement and the rest were clearly him just reacting to Michelle, who came of as bitchier and lamer than usual. 

Nope, he’s from LA, his family are natives from the area with some Mexican descent.

La Llorona is fairly popular in all the hispanic indigenous regions from Apache households, to Mexican households, to yes, even Brazilian households. They just have different names for her, sometimes referring to her as the “white

Even the worst of these films has been surprisingly competent. Because the flipside of “enough jump scares and things going bump in the night for a whole franchise” is a far worse horror film that’s no fun and not scary.

... but what a glorious six minutes it is...

Here’s hoping that there are no staffing implications for the AVC writers, although I’m never convinced that this is possible in acquisitions. 

More like Poe DAAAAAAAMN-eron, amirite?

i am a woman and i would proudly publicly pound the shit out of tucker carlson. you can pay me if you want but i’m willing to do it pro bono.

That’s what I thought as well.

I was surprised by that too, but I guess Kennedy has officially made it okay?

I won’t be at all upset when Rajah finally gets the boot. She’s so incredibly negative. It’s just not a good look.

I was just thinking of Cartman - the “bully” who crumbles and cries anytime anyone stands up to him and smacks him in the face.

Hell, they should just make Shuri the lead.  She was pretty cool.
