Hunk of Burning Love by Elvis Presley was originally Hunk of Burning Junk owing to him having an STI at the time of writing but the producers didn’t think that would fly, even in the early 70s.

Speaking about the Switch 2’s size. One thing that’s weird is that when I hold it it feels like it’s at the absolute limit of what you could consider “portable,” really it’s probably a bit too big when some people thought the original Switch was too big. For some the Lite was the max. However…

There should be more cowboy spokespeople for brands again. Other countries lean into certain archetypes from history for their advertising, I should be able to buy Vaquero brand patio furniture or Tupperware sold to me by a man twice as grizzled as Clint Eastwood ever looked.

Given the only people who can afford a Switch 2 are old it was nice of Nintendo to increase the screen size. They should have called it the Large Print Switch.

Every time a new board game comes out where a reviewer says it’s a GOTY contender I instantly wonder if it’s a Euro or a trick-taking game.

Went to a fancy hotel with turndown service. I asked the maid if she’d like to go out with me and she turned me down.

I’m sure there’s a 90% chance this Elon/Trump spat blows over but if it doesn’t it makes all of those posts by people saying “you think Elon is out of government just because he said he’s stepping down from DOGE? Get real you rubes” very funny.

There should be a grace period for food and coffee coupons. Like if you’re off by a day or two they should still honor it. Why not make the expiration date later? Shhhh.

Publisher shows are weird given how many games are crossplatform. Instead of one publisher trying to get the scoop on this or that title to make their system look good they should have one conference with 4 reps sitting on stage in front of a screen and they just raise their hand for games on theirs

Are deltarunes better than the regular runes you get in Elden Ring? I’m not finding any info on the wikis about this.

That post breached containment. That post is now entering the local water table. A boil water warning has been issued for the area affected by the post. The Republican governor vetoed a bill to add additional regulations on post containment.

Saw an angry thread about a so-called “games are art era” brought up by fucking The Last of Us and fucking Bioshock Infinite and fucking Dad Games again and it’s a reminder the two emotions people exhibit on social media when talking about video games are contempt or nostalgia.

So, the many mainstream deodorant brands now offering aluminum-free options. What are we thinking? 1) Finally jumping on a trend? 2) Found a different ingredient that is effective but cheaper? 3) Aluminum is actually bad for us and no one wants to be the last company selling when lawsuits drop?

I’ve been enjoying Nightreign as playing with a halfway competent team lets you feel a little bit like you’re speedrunning the original Elden Ring.

Had a thing I was writing about how people wondering if camera shots lifted directly from The Last of Us game had to have been the best way to realize a scene belied an inferiority complex in the medium compared to TV and film but now that everyone hates the show in season 2 maybe I’ll scrap it.

It’s been like three days and this taco thing is more annoying than every instance of Cheeto or mango from the last 10 years. Stop ruining food!

I have to admit I’m haunted by the new older Peggy Hill design. I think they did too good a job capturing the image of an older conservative white woman who would call the police on some kids playing in the alley behind Rainey street and that was never her character from the first series.

Costco should own the production line to make Kirkland Signature Plain Potato Chips (Lay's equivalent) and offer them as an add-on with the hot dog and soda. Potato chips is the fries of hot dogs.

I am tier list brain poisoned to the point I would go to a restaurant where they serve you a lot of unnamed variations on individual items and have you rank them. It’s the greatest* expression of being opinionated while also eating. *most insufferable.

Given they brought back Futurama again and a new season of King of the Hill is coming they should really think about making more of The Simpsons.

The latest Doughboys episode about the rebooted Planet Hollywood with the Blank Check hosts is a delight, naturally, but one thing that gave me pause is the number of times Nick, Griffin, and Mitch came up with cheesy ways of improving the experience like Insta photo ops and more movie props…

He makes a whiskey sauce, he makes a vodka sauce, he makes a lager sauce, he makes a cider sauce. He sings the sauce that reminds him of the good sauce, he sings the sauce that remind him of the better sauce.

The lab leak theory works so well for the conservative mind because it combines conspiracy, Sinophobia, distrust of medical institutions, and also at the end of the day most of them probably assumed Covid had a manager they could complain at.

I think the Super Smash Bros Melee version of Fountain of Dreams is one of the best pieces of game music ever given the orchestra treatment. The only knock is that it’s less of a complete song than it is a series of movements that have to loop for gameplay reasons. youtu.be/yzZ6ObU49QY?...
