Huh, I’m really surprised by the interpretation that he held her head down. I wish the scene had been a little more clear, as I didn’t see that at all and originally chalked her anger up to A. Being humiliated that something she hadn’t anticipated and clearly didn’t like happened B. In pain (jizz in the eye stings!)…

The unfortunate thing is...uh...you can’t.

S’all good, man. We’re all sitting in the same basement, weeping as Kinjapocalypse ravages the world we once knew. Take care.

I think what I appreciate the most about this show is how thoroughly it delves into Bojack’s issues—his depression, addiction, narcissism—without ever handwaving the awfulness of his individual decisions, or implying that his mental illness/health negates how toxic he can be to other people. Much of that is also…

I can’t edit posts anymore because Kinja sucks, but I simply added a comment that you are I are in agreement for the most part. I’m mostly talking about a minority that has nevertheless frustrated me on occasion, not the whole. In my estimation, that’s still pretty remarkable. I can’t think of any other place were I…

Arundel, I’m not being hostile here, but you seem to be reading a lot of hostility in my comments and responding in turn. You didn’t ask me to provide evidence, you just said you disagreed, and really what evidence are you expecting? Everything that you’re demanding of me as though I’m hiding it in corner was openly…

I’m thinking you and I have much different conceptions of what constitutes hostility when it comes to gender, but that’s a conversation for another time. Regardless of this recent mess, we’re in agreement that this place is better than most when it comes to the frozen tundra of the internet. But, the other day…

Rafi from So Let’s Talk About truly committed and rewrote the lyrics to all of Formation:

When I played Half-Life 2 (years and years ago) I had never before played any horror style game, having purposefully avoided them during my teen game playing years. Needless to say, I spent the entirety of Ravenholm jumping and screaming at every sound and screech. Add to that, the place was a maze that took me…

There is a lot of well placed irritation with all of this Kinja nonsense, and I’ll readily admit to being deeply skeptical and saddened by the idea of losing a lot of what I love here, but I can only think that you are neither LGBT or a woman to think that this place is “deeply respectful” of those groups (maybe you…

Everything about this adaptation seems lazy. All I keep thinking of is how interesting this remake could have been with, say, a first generation immigrant’s kid who spends his time as a model student balancing the push and pull of his parents’ native cultural expectations and his own American expectations…

I was so thrilled to see Kelli promoted to regular this season.

I’m mostly just here to see if I’m allowed to talk yet (?)

Honestly, the potential loss of commentators on Gameological is what kills me the most. There aren't many places a black queer woman can go to talk about video games and feel the level of intelligence and community that I do here. Oh well, back to the brown liquor I go!

From the moment I saw the cover art—with 2B holding 9S—I casually thought, "Huh, that's an interesting gender-role inversion. I really like that choice," and then the game proceeded to quietly twist and knock sideways various other gendered expectations as I continued to play. For the many things this game deserves…

Xenosaga! I haven't played that game since it first game out and I was but a wee high schooler over a decade ago. I distinctly remember the insanely long cutscenes from that game (some going 40 - 50 minutes), scenes so long I'd be prompted to save in the middle. MOMO irritation aside, I loved KOSMOS and her goofy…

It sure as hell can be. The area I grew up in had a larger black population while still being a minority (around 35% or so) so at the very least, I had the ability to surround myself with people who looked like me.

Having grown up in a rural southern town in the South myself (go to the Walmart to hang out after school, cows behind the high school rural), I've been really enjoying S-Town, both for its character studies and its lack of patronizing tone when it comes to portraying the people therein. There's also a part of white…

The funniest I saw of Jaymes was right before he left in Untucked and saw a note another queen (I think it was Aja) had left for him and he said something like "Oh, she left her phone number. Unnecessary. I could find it in any bathroom in New York." It really is too bad more of that person wasn't evident in her brief…

Six days late, but thanks for the heads up about good summaries for the original NieR. I just bought Automata and thought I'd wait and play through the first only to see that BUT OF COURSE it's nowhere to be found digitally and my PS2 is somewhere in my parents house from over ten years ago. The lack of digital…
