I never post anymore since I turned grey and I’m yelling into the void. But I feel so strongly about this I have to screed.

I mean, ostensibly a major reason we engage with art is to participate in or be exposed to experiences that aren’t our own. As a cis-het middle aged white dude, part of what makes me so upset about the idea of conservatives dictating art is that it would all be so fucking boring. I’ve seen enough of myself represented…

“Do you know why they call it Rise of Skywalker”

Deservedly so. If the man falling down the stairs with a stack of pies bit were a movie, it would be Rise of Skywalker.

There’s a brief moment showing Babu Frik.

Huh. They managed to extract the one good element from Rise of Skywalker.

Given that Led Zeppelin were a bunch of proto-fantasy nerds heavily inspired by Tolkien, I don’t see the use of their music as being as anachronistic as all that.

To be the sole outlier in this thread, this looks pretty good to me. I guess the audience for this service is people who are interested in checking a lot of these games out but due to time and/or money constraints, have not. The fabled two years behind everyone else demographic.

This doesn’t look appealing to me at all, but I’m just glad Stan Sakai is getting paid.

They’re ready.

I’m not usually one to argue with listicles, that most subjective of pop culture criticism, but I would place Fellowship easily within the top 10 on this list.

1. Coca-Cola is plenty evil in its own right.

Yeah, the internet is full of writers who I don’t agree with. I do myself the simple service of not reading their stuff. I especially don’t join in a self-reinforcing circle jerk community who repeatedly show up to voice their indignation in a show of compulsion that’s grown more obnoxious than the original…

Why do you keep coming here? Go somewhere you won’t be so miserable. The fact that you feel the need to comment multiple times on every Barsanti article is a bizarre addiction you’re inflicting on yourself. Be free, fly away and find peace.

And sadly, that can’s going to bounce right off the concrete wall of totalitarianism the Republicans are building.

Gosh, it’s not even about the money. I just shudder to think of the pure creative vision of Epic Games being compromised at the hands of foreign investors.

I mean, yeah, as long as they’re not trying to receive reproductive care or teach critical race theory, they should be fine.

Congratulations to Cool Helmet, for spawning both a successful show and spin-off series.

Good point!
