Is that a wocket in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? (he/him)
I block AI slop and MAGA on sight!

A pallet is where artists keep their paints. 😉

What scummy, insincere, self-serving corporate drivel. I thought Playtonic were sensible people. If you want to wash off the stink, it's not too late to sell the yacht, hire everyone back and be glad your consumers care enough to expect better of you.

No opinion on Hunter Schafer since I've only ever seen her in photos, but surely we can all agree Javier Bardem is the perfect Ganondorf?

This skeet has great rhythm. You could rap the skeet to a beat and it would be "fire," as the children say.

I like it a lot, personally. It's not as good as the classic checkerboard, but it sure beats those really gross alphabet blocks from 2004ish.

I'm having trouble adjusting to a culture where everybody plays video games but almost nobody's interested in the classics. In my day, gamers were a tiny clique, but every last one of us knew the history and understood the references.

Came here to post this. Thank you. Gotta love Tex!

My heart is hurting for you, Daley. You made Playtonic and deserve much better.

I cannot believe they let you go. You, of all people.

Hey, if the Northern Boys became darlings on TikTok, you can too, maybe.

It's a game about characters with stretchy arms; obviously, they should add Lanky Kong.

Embarrassing. Get some culture, you boor.

As long as you love Spirited Away, we can still be friends.

Even The Rise of Skywalker, which is awful, is better than any prequel because at least there, the actors are making an effort.

I'm flattered, but I'm already spoken fer! I think we should just be friends! XD

What drives me bananas is that Butch Hartman is a genuinely funny and talented cartoonist (when he wants to be; see Johnny Bravo and early Fairly Oddparents). He doesn't need to grift; he does it for the love of the game.

I can't get past those awful designs. Nothing but love for the team and I'm glad the classic Hanna-Barbera stable got a shot in the arm, but they should've stuck to the classic look.

The solution is simple: give him a girlfriend, a lady skunk who actually likes him, and let them be stinky and annoying and overly affectionate together, like the Hip Hippos.

Not a healthy way to live. Don't take responsibility for stuff that's out of your control. If you don't trust me, trust my therapist.

We didn't know what she was going to do with that money. As long as you aren't supporting her anymore, I don't think you need to feel guilty.

Come now, you don't need to apologize for that. There's no way you could've known about Rowling's terrible views when you were a child (assuming we're roughly the same age) and no sensible person would hold it against you.

Fair enough! But my interest in the games decreased as the lore became the main reason to keep up with them. All that stuff about the Afton family's secret legacy of AI experiments never felt like it belonged in the fun spoopy series about a haunted pizzeria.

The first two games succeeded by having a genuinely original gameplay hook and a fun gimmick (unintentionally scary Chuck E. Cheese animatronics, but actually played for horror!), but it all went down the tubes when it decided it wanted to be an "epic" with "lore" and shit.

The Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde are the way to go. I'll never get tired of saying it. They have all the magic and "Books and libraries, yay!" vibes a Potter expatriate could ask for, but they're much cleverer and the author is not a bigot.

No, no, no. Harry Potter isn't popular because people love British wizard schools or whatever. It's popular because it's cozy. It's cozy in a very particular way that almost nothing else has replicated. Discworld is fine, I guess, if you like smug lectures, but it's not a good Potter alternative.

Hey, there's hope. I didn't think he'd ever get around to Shades of Grey 2 either!

I looked it up and it doesn't seem to be out yet. He did publish The Constant Rabbit recently; maybe he's burned out on lagomorphs?

Actually, it doesn't matter. We don't need to argue about this. Let's just agree Rowling sucks and call it a day.

When Garcia comes back, I need someone to photograph him posing with that tweet like "Dewey Defeats Truman."

Have you considered that there's more to telling a good story than following The Rules you learned in Creative Writing 101?

By the time he passes out, he already has the stone and burned off Quirrell's face. The only thing that comes later is the explanation, which he had no means of learning at that time.
