Yes, The Boss was a mother figure to Snake, but The Boss was also unequivocally Daddy.

Yes! It’s all coming together now.

Yeah, the Horde-side Zandalri troll introduction after level 10 is weird. At one point, the quest text/voiceover references the player going to the Stockades to save this ghost dinosaur-summoning troll princess. I thought this was a setup to a quest where you fly into the Stockades and fight your way through, but…

“You want me to clap my what now?”

“Kept you waiting, huh?”

How long do y’all think it’ll take before reps from the theater industry are begging for a bailout before Congress ala bankers and auto execs around 2008-09?

Yeah, I noticed that after I leveled a bit. Still, until that was unlocked, I rolled multiple characters and was disappointed by the sameness of it.

I guess the consolation prize here is the drama and tea that we’ll likely get in the wake of such high profile exits.

Gave the free version of World of Warcraft a shot after being away from the game since 2010ish or so. Really wasn’t feeling the whole new player “Exile’s Reach” experience. It does a better job of mechanically teaching new players the ins-and-outs, but I feel like there’s less character and replayability than what I…

Oddly, I think Breath of the Wild’s “emptiness” is part of why I was able to get into it so much while being turned off by lots of other “open world” games with “more to do”.

The sparseness lends itself both to an “uncluttered” experience (beyond major story points and things the player marks, for the most part) and…

It’s basically a reading comprehension test:

Did you actually read the study, or did you just share a clickbait article with a headline misrepresenting the study?

They probably don’t have the numbers to get multiple mass demonstrations in those states, so it would makes sense from an optics/morale standpoint to concentrate their numbers into one “big” demonstration in DC to get camera attention.

Even before the Vortex reveal, the initial shock of the mysterious abduction in Ecco’s introductory level is a classic in sound design and auditory jumpscare-age.

“How high can you jump?”

To be fair to the Nickelodeon kids in 2000, I doubt any of them saw Bush v. Gore coming.

Okay, so where on the Bill Gates 5G Atlantis COVID QAnon conspiracy map does this place her? 🤔

Funnily enough, I technically saw the end of End of Evangelion completely out of context when I was up late as a lad waiting for some Skinimax flick to come on. Visually stunning, worthy of the memes associated with it, and spooked me the hell away from the franchise for several decades.

The original series told a…

I’ve had the scene trigger twice on PC since I grabbed the game on a Steam Sale in June (best ~$8 I ever spent!). Is that a hacker thing too?

I too went in blind on Netflix with no context beyond “it’s an animoo robot show, but it’s DEEP, man” and thoroughly enjoyed it.

So much so, in fact, that I actually haven’t watched the movies beyond the original series since they, from what I’ve heard, establish a different ending than the ending I enjoyed (warts and…
