Seriously, been reading Hulk since age 3, and that Loeb run was the single worst Marvel shit I’ve read, let alone the worst Hulk run overall.

This kind of shared-universe serializing doesn’t bother me so much with movies, perhaps because movies have so much room to sprawl (and also because it is a relatively new thing).

I’ve yet to actually finish one of From Soft’s SoulsBorne games (and Sekiro), but I’ve come the closest with Bloodborne. The gun-parry mechanic is a treasure; I never had the patience for the trial-and-error (and often death) routine required to get the parry down in the DS games, but the distance of the gun-parry…

Doom Patrol *and* WWDITS! My cup overfloweth! Finally, a reason to care about Thursdays outside their proximity to the weekend!

At least you can just pull the tomatoes off of a sandwich and they generally don’t leave much behind. 

I understand the short-term aspect of Republicans supporting Trump’s lunacy—they get his endorsement and his voter base—but I still have no idea what the long-term aspect of it might be. It’s like strapping a jet engine to a car. Sure, you’ll go faster, but you have very little control over your course and you…

I take solace that in 15-20 years, they too will be cringe and unable to help it.

It’s one of the most successful sitcoms in recent memory, so I’m pretty sure it is probably just punching up. I suppose it’s probably being a bit mean to the performers on that show, who are presumably doing their best with incredibly hacky material.  With all the kerfuffle over Apu a couple years ago, I’m not sure…

Most of games writers absolutely suck.

It’s sad that a corporation can do something to stem this madness, while the US government has largely been unable to do much. Biden mandating vaccines for federal employees is a step in the right direction, but outside of that, it’s a patchwork of local and state responses.

I’m fairly sure that was meant to be some generic, other-dimensional tentacle monster, but it’s Shuma-Gorath in my head-canon.

The solution to boring vanilla is always to add cinammon (and honey if you really want to go for that “fried ice cream” flavor).  It is some kind of food alchemy that vanilla truly sing.

I’m playing Resident Evil 7 for the first time, since 8 just came out and I wanted to catch up on the Ethan Winters saga (so far it seems to involve being grievously injured a lot by mutant hillbillies). I absolutely adore just how over-the-top and ridiculous it gets. After all, this is the game wherein our…

To be honest, The Simpsons were all too eager to sell out at the peak of their fame, which, I guess I can’t take too much issue. Not everyone can have the superhuman will to turn away all that money like Bill Watterson did. And his creation still ended up being merchandised anyway, after a fashion...

Those are pre-streaming numbers.  There’s so many shows these days competing for the same limited amount of attention that I’m not sure many culutural phenomenons on that scale happen anymore.  The audience is too split.

I enjoyed it just fine, with reservations. My gaming PC isn’t top of the line, but once I cranked the settings to “decent last-gen spectacle”, it ran perfectly (granted, I didn’t pick it up until after Hotfix 1.2). Honestly, my biggest reservation has more to do with the games industry as a whole. The current trend of…

Fun.  None of the links I put in there work.  Thanks Kinja!

I didn’t catch the license plate, but I’m going to assume that it is a reference to famous, too-soon-dead (age 43, from a heart attack) Marvel writer Mark Gruenwald. What is his signifigance here? Well, Mobius was based on him:

Little Debbie Swiss, Zebra, and Strawberry Shortcake Rolls are all perfect for the freezer. The Star Crunch, on the other hand, becomes really hard to eat when frozen.
