The best alternative to any social media site is nothing at all.

We Need to Talk About Kevin was apparently a documentary. Who knew?

According to the CDC’s own data, the smallpox vaccine, which already exists, is 85% effective against monkeypox. Not only that, but the symptoms of monkeypox are milder. This is little more than fear mongering.

And Snakes on a Plane is an even better example because they went back after production had wrapped and shot additional scenes where Samuel L. Jackson used profanity. His line, “I’ve had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane” was almost verbatim from a SA Forums thread. The movie still tanked.…

Imagine thinking that the same people watching a movie for free on Twitch (with it’s real-time chat features, among other things) would pay to watch it in the silence of a darkened theater?

Didn’t the developer share an early build on Reddit? For some reason I remember seeing a tech demo of someone on a skateboard shooting guns.

I haven’t watched SNL in almost 20 years, and even I know Kenan Thompson has been on SNL longer than Hammond. Maybe I should write for the AV Club.

The 30-minute workout at Planet Fitness is worth the $10/month fee by itself. I can hit most of the major muscle groups then jump on a treadmill, stair stepper or for another 30. It gets the job done.

I mean, the Thug Kitchen kitchen author(s) ended up being a cis white couple, so your theory absolutely tracks.

I just bought the Season 2 pass last night. Challenge tracking in Last Spartan Standing works, somewhat. The game tells you that you can quit without penalty once you’re out of lives. What it DOESN’T tell you is that your challenges won’t actually progress until the match ENDS. I played five matches last night and saw…

I think the point he was trying to make is that Lon Chaney and Saldaña are both known for taking on roles where they’re required to wear large amounts of makeup/prosthetics.

If you’re in Black Knife Catacombs, a necromancer is resurrecting them. Once you kill it, the skeletons will die for good. 

It’s telling that every time I see a Tiktoker hawk this thing, they never show any gameplay or talk about what the device actually does. It looks like a GameBoy and has a crank. That’s it. Oh, and it costs $180 and doesn’t work in the dark. Cool.

I’d add The World’s End to the list. I loved Hot Fuzz but went into the final film in the Cornetto Trilogy completely blind - no synopsis, no trailer. So I was completely floored by the big reveal. I don’t the restroom scene would have had the same punch if I’d known what was going on beforehand.

Elden Ring already has an easy mode — it’s called the Astrologer class. You can also simply grind and over-level your character, just like you could in any previous Souls game. The difficulty doesn’t make the game, but part of the experience IS finding different solutions to difficult problems.

Yeah, you can use magic to heal then or make them tankier with an Ash of War like Golden Vow. 

The comparison to Ultima VII has me completely sold. I remember playing it as a kid and being blown away by the idea of an RPG where every action had consequences.

I read one of those “What to First in Elden Ring” guides, and it helped immensely in setting myself up for the rest of the game. There are important things, like the ability to summon spirits, that you can downright miss because they’re tied to the time of day and one specific location — though apparently if you…

You’ve always had ways to grind in FROMSoft games. In Dark Souls, for example, the Phalanx in the Painted World gave you enough souls per run to gain 10-20 levels in an hour. If anything, I feel like Elden Ring requires less grinding — between option content and consumable rune items, I’ve only felt the need to grind…

Honestly, that elevator ride made my jaw drop. You think the Lands Between are sprawling and epic, then, in the span of 10 seconds, you come to the realization that you haven’t even seen HALF of what the game has to offer.
