The Mario movie is a nonstop conga line of references to video games that came out decades ago. It brings back the “Mario is from Brooklyn” origin which hasn’t been canon since 1995 but which is popular among anyone who grew up watching the 1989 Mario cartoon series. At one point they do the DK Rap for no reason.

“If a good movie is successful, people will make bad movies.”

No, actually. The general consensus of movie critics and writers of articles like this is that the Mario movie is obviously terrible. Audiences are loving it, based on the box office numbers.

You should be fucking ashamed for lacking even basic empathy.

companies want people to buy and enjoy their products, but only on their terms.

I find it weird when chefs refer to carrots as “vegetables” or “food.” Like... they’re carrots.

The difference is that Lovecraft is dead and his works are out of copyright. No one’s enriching him by engaging with his stories.

“The Best VR Game Doesn’t Require VR Anymore”

This is like if Nintendo released a non-Wii Remote version of Wii Sports. Sure, it’d be functional and maybe fun (kinda?) but it removes all of what makes it great and basically defeats the whole purpose of it existing in the first place.

I don’t know if they ever explained it in the EU stuff, but this came from a post-Disney Marvel-published Darth Vader comic where they’re showing him in his earliest days as Vader. Palps has him kill this Jedi warrior dude who’s on sabbatical or whatever and corrupts his Kyber crystal kind of as part of his…

Yep.

It was eventually settled two years later for $150,000, a life-altering penalty for the average person.

I have a small crack on my wood stairs and got a 50 dollars ticket to repair it.  You litearrly have to look for it to find it.  Home owner association people have no lives.  They are usually old biddies with nothing to do after they leave the walmart greeter. 

a Stupid Coup™

I’m not the biggest fan of his movies or whatever, but it’s hard to deny the infectious energy he brings to everything he does. Even if it sometimes falls flat, he’s always trying, trying to entertain, to make people laugh.

I’d rather someone fell short of that sometimes, rather than never trying. I say he is a…

Goddamn is empathy just fucking gone? How are you siding with the giant corporation here?
