There is no universe in which either Quantummania or Shazam 2 are worse than the fucking Flash.

It really isn’t and they definitely don’t.

If you really lean into the road trip aspect, the game is beautiful. Being asked to choose a photo at the end of the game is genuinely heartbreaking when you realize what it means. The complicated relationship between Noctis and his father really hits home at the end as well.

To be fair, I’d be miserable too if every time I wrote an article everyone in the comments section talked about how terrible a person I was.

Nobody suggested you lecture your barber about capitalism.

Yup, immediately wrote it off. Feel bad for the developers that poured work into this but Ubisoft can go to hell

Not supporting this game or anything Ubisoft after what their CEO said. 

Foamstars uses AI art.

Sounds like a convenient smokescreen to distract from the fact that Foamstars was recently exposed for using AI art.

She-Hulk’s writing was actually pretty brilliant.  You’ve got to be able to follow along with the meta-commentary taking place of course.  And also - you have to not be the target of the meta-commentary in the first place.

All taste is subjective of course.

In my view:

Punisher was fine, but not new or novel. The others you complain about being higher, many had on offer (at the very least) something most people hadn’t seen before.

She-Hulk, the early seasons of S.H.I.E.L.D., Luke Cage, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel and Agent Carter…

Yep with a fair number of actors showing up at one point or another.  The coppest of cop shows

My parents say the same thing, but they’re in their 70s and only enjoy crime stories. Some of the brilliant shows of the past decade or so, such as Atlanta or Reservation Dogs, is utterly beyond them. Plus, they largely only seek out tv on linear and HBO.

Funnier people than Jo Koy have bombed as awards show hosts. Looking at you, David Letterman. Difference there is that in the aftermath, as far as I know, Letterman never called Oprah and Uma marshmallows, and instead made himself the butt of the joke. Jo, you could stand to learn from Dave.

No, Jo, just let it blow over, don’t make it a bigger deal, you dummy! Ugh, why are famous people just incapable of not posting through it...

I think there’s a misconception that people - including Taylor Swift - didn’t laugh because his jokes were offensive. People didn’t laugh because they weren’t funny.

The problem is that they need to acknowledge that it has a new name, but Musk is so goddamn stupid that he renamed it the letter commonly used to denote a placeholder name. It’s kinda necessary so people don’t see “X” and think Kotaku just forgot to write in the actual name.

But I was told “NFTs are the future, whether I like it or not.”

Some internet shit that a rich idiot ruined, I think.

I miss the blockchain and NFTs. Not because I liked them, but because it was endlessly amusing watching people INSIST that it was super special magical technology that would change the world, and then never be able to give an actual use case for them. I think the closest they ever got were for recording transactions…
