"This year’s show portrayed an industry dominated by anime gacha games, Soulslikes and extraction nonsense [...] Does the man have no taste, or does he simply not care? Judging by his choice of footwear, it’s probably a bit of both." @hitpoints.bsky.social kills.

"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic

Don't know anything about TV production outside of what I've read, -- such as books like @moryan.bsky.social 's -- but I'm inclined to believe that Big Entertainment under corpos like Paramount is so bloated and inefficient that five years means getting 46 episodes instead of 124.

i only need under $6,000 to meet my goal for top surgery in august! if you'd like to help a trans person out, please consider donating or sharing the campaign!

"There's much to be said about the political processes that deployed these men. But there is another important thing to be said to the men who go to work every day and don tactical vests and facemasks and act like willing gestapo agents of our idiot political leader: You guys are fucking cowards."

I think it is a mistake that one side of the company that's been run terribly gets to keep David Zaslav while the other side of the company gets nothing. They should split Zaslav into two to ensure that both new entities get continuity of leadership.

We’re going back to making novels the old fashioned way, boys. Now I need a crew to help me break in into the Merriam-Webster vaults and steal all their words

A homeowners association group chat is just a vizier battle royale... ... with roguelike elements.

My senior cat is in the stage of his life where he is strong, healthy, alert but he must step on my dick or balls seven times on the way up to getting into my lap or on my chest.

I think when Geoff Keighley claims to love videogames, he believes it like absolutely genuinely believes it. The problem is that how he understands that passion and expresses it is the problem. It's always in favor of the corporations that pay his show and not for the people that make the games.

I bristle when I see well-meaning people on the left use words like "degenerate" and "savages" to describe the architects of the genocide in Palestine. These words are intimately & inextricably tied to authoritarian and fascist conceptualizations of the world

What irritates me most about Geoff Keighley invoking the indie game space is that it feels like a begrudging acknowledgment that he cannot paper over with his feigned enthusiasm. Not when there's a refusal to engage with why these titles are capturing so much interest.

"gen z doesn’t get to have nostalgia; gen a won’t have anything to hold onto that isnt a Statement about What Came Before. we’re past signposts and in the territory of front pages: reality is going to come down to what a handful of papers left have to say about the world. keep moving. get in line."

Ghibli films are bright and sunny in direct contrast to the dark and dismal things they depict. Not just as a function of aesthetic dichotomies, but as art that is curious and questioning about all the corners of life. Reducing it to inoffensive wholesomeness is missing the art for the vibes.

Imagine having a billion dollars lying around. You could donate it to a charity, you could use it to finance a massive creative endeavor or bankroll businesses of friends and family, start a massive art collection. Or you could be JK Rowling and fund legal harassment of a minority group. #girlboss

stoner guy in dorm room, 1990: "haha it's like .. the year numbers just keep going up, right? And we're almost at 100.. so it's like.. what then! Is that it?! Ha ha. Hey man you don't look so good, did you take too big a hit there" Francis Fukuyama: (silently holding stock-still while freaking out)

Also more reporting on the damage Elon Musk has done and the accounts of people who have worked with him, for him and hurt by him, rather than his post-DOGE plans and feelings. Stop doing PR for him!

it's pretty wild how throughout all of history nobody who has ever decided to argue that "actually a little bigotry is okay" ends up looking like one of the good guys and yet people are still lining up left and right for the opportunity to do so in the paper of record

Many shout out David Suchet for his work in Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989-2013), I shout him out for his work in 1999's Wing Commander. I am a man of culture.

my 'I'm Not in the Persona 4 Remake' shirt has people asking a lotta questions already answered by my shirt
