A friend of mine works in an office where you’re not allowed to work without being vaccinated. In order to prove you’re vaccinated, you have to click a checkbox that says, “I am vaccinated.” Why? It’s to show that the corporation made the barest minimum of effort to enforce something they don’t care about.

Man fuck this - in what world is Top Gun 2 the bigger draw than John Wick 4 in this day and age? I ask that very seriously.

How can a single person be so wrong about “Mario”-games? Pffft...

Great to see Scarlet Hollow on the list! The first chapter was so damn good. I wasn’t into story games but it really is the storytelling and art that makes this game so great. It just sucks that it’s taking so long to make them but totally understandable given the quality and how it’s a side project for most of the…

...but the fact that the author didn’t embrace the map making process when writing the books is crazy to me, isn’t that the best part of writing fantasy??

This does not appear to be about reproductive documentary star Peter North.

I didn’t expect the Qanon shaman look to catch on. 

“He also co-wrote the screenplay for this film with the poet Sjón, a frequent Björk collaborator.”

Ahhh, a movie about my ancestors’ family squabbles starring a bunch of my favourite actors.  Thank you, Odin, for this wonderful gift!

“For those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples.”

Ugh.

I know Hades is a good game because I have limited interest in rogue-like fast twitch style games like this and I LOVED Hades. I’m a big mythology nerd so that helped, but the gameplay and story push this one over the top.

I don’t want to go to theaters during all of this. Luckily I live near one of the few drive-ins left in America.

Uh, I feel like there is a bit of revisionism here... Bob Ross was a pretty serious businessman in his lifetime and spent considerable effort creating and promoting a brand.

I had to double check before writing this that he hadn’t already done some NFT shit because it seemed so much like a thing he would already be a part of. 

Same. I can see where both are coming from. from Keanu’s POV I can understand not really caring about the creep factor because it’s not like you’re really “there” in person and you’re basically making money off your own likeness. it’s like being an porn star without having to do all the work. getting rich off being a…

I was thinking (in light of the context) that she looks like a mom reacting to her teenage son seeing side boob for the first time

I think this is the correct take.

This is one of those cases where both Reeves’s and Moss’s reactions are completely understandable.

Hell yeah. More rural-Appalachian games, especially some of that good Appalachian horror. We’ve had more than enough LA, Chicago, and New York based games, give me some of the backwoods storytelling.
