This is what I find truly annoying about modern criticism. There’s only ONE reason why the New Republic is as messed up as it is. JJ Abrams. He and his creative team made the incredibly lazy decision to just undo all the progress made from defeating the Empire and descended right back into the good guys being a…

Not an author myself, but I know enough math to put more trust on 4.3 stars out of 573 reviews than 5 stars out of 8 reviews. 

Totally fair. Though also a loaf of bread that was 80% mold and 20% bread would feel fresher than Abrams’ entries.

Not before we chain him to a radiator and force him to make Alita 2.

Hurray, another excuse to spew vitriol at people. ItS jUsT wHaT wE nEeDeD.

See, I think that’s a much more interesting and compelling argument than a lot of what I’m seeing. Corporate control of these algorithms could, in fact, be a very big Thing that we’ll have to contend with - similar to Monsanto’s abuse of the patent system absolutely skullfucking farmers and muddying the waters around…

The day NFTs become a normal part of gaming is the day I stop ever paying for games again and become a permanent sailor of the high seas.

$5 shipping for pins that’d normally cost $10-$15 each is fine. I’m more irritated for how they, in perfect Nintendo fashion, messed this up.

This also happened with this one Club Nintendo reward they had a few weeks ago. It was a Xenoblade Chronicles phone holder that looked like the Monado. Shit got sold out instantly and AFAIK, never got restocked. I would’ve loved one too. Nintendo be on some bullshit.

How. Hard. Is. It. To. Do. Limited. Run. Style. Preorders. And. Print. To. Demand?!?

Also completely ignores that cooking is a luxury that some families can’t afford to acquire. If both parents are working two jobs (or taking double shifts at one) and even the teenagers have an after school job, who’s left to cook for the littles? Who’s going to be capable of standing in front of a countertop or range…

Oh, I certainly thought about it, but my anxiety and moral compass won’t allow it. Hell, I feel bad about asking my roommates to reimburse me for paying bills, even though there’s no logical reason that I should.

Even though my backlog is infinite and monstrous as a Lovecraftian god, I, a fool, finally gave in and bought Persona 5 Royal after months of resisting its stylish temptations (“But it was on sale!” my shame proclaims in its defense). Even though I already spent over a hundred hours on the original, and the countless…

Avengers, Hades, and THPS1+2...stuff I can dip in and out of without having to really think about it, killing time until Cyberpunk, which will likely be the last game I’m able to buy until next year.

Other than that, trying to figure out what to do about my PS5 preorder. I managed to snag a digital edition from Amazon…

I cannot stress this enough... I don’t care about cloud streaming services.

There is a range shortage as well. Ours died on 09/06 and we went shopping for a replacement and were told that we would have to wait until October or even November for the brand and model we wanted. That caused us to look at other models and then discover the open box stores. Now, I’m in love with a Dacor at one of…

The thing is, school shouldn’t be open

I’ll do my yearly, bowl of candy for the kids and cooler of beer for the adults. If they show up, great! If not, I’ll be drunk and in a sugar coma.
