Sometimes I look at these things and do kinda understand where much of all that anti video-game hysteria comes from. That “flesh system” just seems ... I dunno, needlessly gross and ultimately dehumanising? I’d wonder if the more games’ graphics reach for realism, the more the need to re-do those studies about game…

What I’d really like to know is why Netflix remain so allergic to weekly releases, when all the other major platforms have pivoted back to that.

The MCU has screenwriters?? I thought they just pre-vis some CGI spectacle, stitch in some machine produced snark and called it a day.

20 years old?? Dear lord. But yeah, seasons of this were like hen's teeth.

I happens all the time TBH; this wasn't an isolated incident. the British are surprisingly ignorant of their own local geography.

As an Irishman, I’m acutely aware just how badly Brexit has fúcked things up. The Tories are a different breed mind you, and are trying to get to where the GOP now exists. For now they remain kinda, sorta, barely resemble a functioning democratic party. If you squint. But the UK and US are somewhat locked into the…

Most countries tend to end up with two major political parties, even here where there’s about 5, 6 prominent ones; but I can’t think of any western democracy where one side is having as performative, loud mental breakdown like the one the Reps are having. We laugh, but it ain’t good nor healthy for your balancing side…

I love how "I like to do my own research" has become such a convenient shorthand for me to instantly dismiss the person saying it as a complete fúcking moron.

Who’d have thought yet another creative director in gaming was, in fact, just another failed director/writer who didn’t know how to write human beings.

It’s one thing for an article’s content to contain spoilers - that’s the prerogative of the author - but the headline containing one is poor form. Plenty of people disinterested in spoilers would have happily scanned past the article - were it not itself a spoiler. It’s a simple piece of courtesy and common sense.…

Dear America,

There’s also the aspect where when right-wingers bleat about loving Ripley or Sarah Connor so they can’t be sexist, it’s noteworthy that their “ideal” female action leads here are still fundamentally traumatised, broken women. Brilliant characters don’t get me wrong, but it speaks to how they can’t even _conceive_ the…

The delicious irony that even after getting in bed with right wing detritus, her new audience still thinks her too “woke” for their blood. 

How much of that goes straight to Cameron himself? Just curious as while I know Disney have a toe in the water here with Avatar merch, are they the sole rights owners - and beneficiaries at that - or is the IP Cameron’s at source? Way too lazy to Google.

That speech from Andor was god tier, and so far beyond what I might have hoped or expected from that show. It was phenomenal.

Fair point. Was kinda thinking purely of the JavaScript version from itch and my Mac seemed to run it fine - stands to reason. The full version might be expanded and its sprites increased.

Man, I played the arse off the itch.io demo; keep meaning to pick up the full game, though am kinda waiting for a Switch port cos it seems like a perfect one for the system. Can't imagine it'd take much to migrate, doesn't strike as the most intensive game out there..

Between this article and the shoot that apparently involved a younger indy, this is starting to smell like a time travel story.

THOSE EYES.

Im going to reply to my own post to snort at how I got a reply in the Grey that’s basically a boilerplate angry Muskaholic trotting out the usual “you’re just a woke leftist jealous of musk’s manly musk!!”. I love how willing idiots are to go to bat for a billionaire, cos lib’rul tears. Probably the same idiots…
