I think this is the first review to actually make me want to play it. The other massively positive reviews tend to focus on the ambition and technical prowess of the game, and that really does nothing for me. The critics I follow and like, like Rob Zacny and Maddy Myers, focused on the oppressing abrasiveness and…

She seems like one of those actors whose genre disappeared. She’s a romcom and comedy actress, with some musicals mixed in. But romcoms/comedies disappeared from theaters and musicals aren’t being made as much anymore, so she’s stuck with with the dregs that make it onto streaming services. Another victim of the…

how the fuck can you even post “he was no angel” unironically in the year of our lord 2020. my god, how embarrassing 

lmao didn’t this website just promote a podcast based around the genuine love and promotion of Goop?

much, much better than the stock kinja format. still not a fan of the guts of this platform, but it’s a massive improvement.

not trying to cancel paul mccartney or anything, but the fact that a really awesome song immediately makes you think about age of consent laws is unfortunate

I Saw Her Standing There absolutely slaps, but the “She was just seventeen/if you know what I mean” intro didn’t age particularly well!

it’s almost like two different movies are different

Of course there was work on her vocals! It’s a big pop album, it’s been polished up to an absolute sheen. Which is kinda the point, there’s an appealing artificiality to it. I hate the idea of roughness and “““authenticity””” as an absolute good in music making. Sometimes that’s good, but that doesn’t mean a huge…

Seems there was a lot of critical buyers’ remorse on RTJ2 -- Pitchfork knocked it down to 131 after giving it album of the year the year it came out. Seems like it didn’t have a lot of sticking power. 

It’s a better pop album than just about anything else released in the 2010s other than maybe EMOTION or Melodrama.

>autotuned pop albums

1989 slaps and deserves its spot completely.

They tried to delete it, but couldn’t figure out how and somehow only managed to move the post to this absolutely wild URL:

they did not fire Jason, that story is entirely, 100% false. The editor of Deadspin got canned for not complying with an order to stick to sports. That’s it. Kotaku hasn’t been affected at all (as far as all us regular people know). Everyone’s mad and scared about the Deadspin firing, though.

I’ve had a lot of success with a sauce made from mixing 5 parts Gochujang, 3 parts vinegar, 1 part honey, 1 part soy sauce. I could put that on absolutely anything.

You seem like a real bootlicker. I hope to god you never employ a soul.

I am currently obsessed with The Outer Wilds. which absolutely rules and is very chill. No combat, just exploring this super interesting solar system with the only goals being self-set. It’s perfect for short chunks, because it has this Groundhog Day/Majora’s Mask structure, so after either you die or 22 minutes of…

I basically missed out on the emotional payoffs of the last 30 minutes because I couldn’t stop thinking about the logistics of the world after all this stuff went down. So 50% of the world just lost 5 years? What about the weird post-apocalypse vibe of the first hour of the movie? Is everyone just deeply traumatized…
