leaving this fancy restaurant and the guy who's supposed to pull my car around keeps bringing cars that almost look correct but have something intrinsically offputting about them, it's some kind of uncanny valet

Team Yoshi for life

UNDERTALE is on sale for $1. If you're a bluesky user who hasn't played this game - now is the best time to join the other 99% of people on this website and pick it up. store.steampowered.com/app/391540/U...

Daredevil: Born Again has been really good so far! Pilot was definitely a little shaky (ironic given the circumstances surrounding its production), but the following 2 eps were awesome. The most recent episode had me in suspense the whole time. No fight scenes, just well-made courtroom drama 👍

In Japan for a few weeks, anyone want anything while I’m out

I still love him

I’m rewatching Daredevil to prep for Born Again and I can’t believe it took me a decade to notice

Skeleton Crew is a damn good entry in the Star Wars catalog. Wears its influences on its sleeve (to put it lightly) but has the writing chops to prove it’s not just imitation. Shot gorgeously, scored beautifully, and anchored by a fun group of kids, Jude Law, and a 10/10 droid. Go watch this show 👍

Mick Giacchino out here making an incredible first impression as a composer. He may have gotten the gigs because of his dad, but it’s clear he got a grade-A education from him too

Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here, enjoying the hell out of Invincible Season 3, wondering why it seems so impossible for a studio to (get the funding to) adapt the indie comic *I* grew up reading 😔🦴

The Roottrees Are Dead is a triumph for the modern adventure genre. Clever, satisfying, damn funny - and that's just the FIRST mystery! Behold, the first great video game of 2025 👏

been watching Bob play Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and all I can think of is this

As someone who loved the Fantastic Four as a kid and grew up reading their Marvel Masterworks books, Jack Kirby’s Thing is the design of the character I know best. So The Thing’s design in First Steps is surreal for me. Maybe the most direct translation of Kirby art ever put to screen 👏👏👏

People won’t realize it for a while, but 2024 was a strong year for Marvel Studios. Everything it released ranged from “pretty fun movie” to “best X-Men thing of all time, Cyclops is cool now.” So when I confess I’m really trepidatious about the MCU in 2025, I mean it genuinely 😬

Starting a thread of predictions for the Nintendo Switch 2. I will keep updating this until the Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd, and if I post enough, one of them might turn out correct 👀

I’m putting together a bug-out bag, ready to evacuate Los Angeles tomorrow… but the weight of it all hasn’t even hit me yet. Everything is happening so fast. I have no idea what happens next.

The sky in every Call of Duty campaign mission

Been thinking about Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 lately. That’s a great video game right there

“That Penguin award is mine, Farrell”

Finally saw Wicked. It (mostly) ruled. This is why you don’t doubt Jon M. Chu 😤

My Top 10 Games of 2024 🧵 10. Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection While not technically a "new" game, MvC Collection remains a 2024 standout, both as a superb port-job and a moment of hype & hope for a series long left dormant. The pinnacle of the phrase "we are so back!"

Imagine one of the most respected animation studios in the video game industry pitches you this hugely fun one-off idea for its mega-budget TV show. Now imagine saying “no” to that. Yeah, I can’t imagine it either 🙃

finished The Penguin

Holy crap. Lois.

blasting “california dreamin’” on a cold day in los angeles so I can feel like a real prestige TV show

Eventually, we are going to get a gameplay trailer for Naughty Dog’s new game, which is titled “Intergalactic.” I hope the team reads the room when the time comes to choose some montage music 🤖
