There’s literally no other candidate the right could have. Shoot they’re already talking shit about JD Vance having an Indian wife. You think any of the other primary candidates would be able to garner enough of the rest of the parties support to beat Biden?

BS. There’s no reason to hold back. The more political credence we give these events, the more we encourage their repetition.

Would be great to see Harley pula football away at the last minute.

The practise of leaving names off applications (primarily, according to my white manager father, so that they don’t recognize names as Black or Indian) is top notch.

I beat what I am guessing is like 90% of the game including after-main game secrets in a couple of weeks. Freed most of the cats and just haven’t gotten around to finding the last of the notes yet. Also appear to have covered the vast majority of the map. It’s a really cool game that I highly recommend but I find it…

“What film is meant to be seen while doom-scrolling?”

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: SEO is a fucking cancer.

The good (first) half-season of Luke Cage.

Honestly, I was cynical enough to think it was gonna be “We’re gonna be doing the same shit, but because our psychopathic MBAs think that changing owners is all the change you need and bring as much joy to the users as it does to us” - it’s rare to see someone buy something for its intrinsic value, not merely its…

Ooh, Epic’s a good one. I imagine that’d be a lot of fun to do, too.

It’s funny that you mention Prey as a spiritual sequel to Bioshock. I’d disagree mildly and say it’s closer to System Shock 2 than any of the Bioshock games (which I never did find to be all that similar, aside from some narrative beats.)

*(To be fair, the FromSoft SoulsBorne games also have their own dark sense of humor, barely visible beneath the despair and dread.)

I loved that cartoon!

It seems Paste management may have perceived the wisdom of leaving AV Club on Kinja. My hope is that Paste acquires Kinja and implements commenting on all the Paste sites.  Despite its known flaws, Kinja is a vastly superior commenting platform to the WordPress dreck that Paste currently uses for Jezebel and Splinter.

I’d tip the best-ever crown to 4 or 10, personally, but I’m keenly aware that I bring Hot Takes to the table. Some include such spicy dishes as “9 is actually pretty bad,” and “2 isn’t great but it’s better than 1 and 3,” and “Most of the criticisms directed at 13 are even more applicable to other entries in the…

IIRC, it was “Detective Vision” in Arkham Asylum.
