recently did a little self-imposed 24-hour game jam with a friend of mine, i used it as an excuse to get familiar with gamemaker and since free gamemaker only lets you export to opera's game website now everyone else can play it too
after several years of being told “you don’t need a rice cooker, just get better at stovetop rice” and after several years of trying so so so hard to get better at stovetop rice i went out and got a rice cooker and i gotta say everyone who’s ever given me advice is a fool
sorry i just found out there are cops at burning man who will arrest you on drug charges and now if i’m being honest i no longer understand the point of burning man at all
i will probably never stop being angry that some of you guys managed to successfully convince disney that several seasons of ahsoka and a mandalorian movie would be better than three more movies from the guy who did this
it’s so cool how if you say “there’s no legal way to access the vast majority of video games from more than ten years ago” people will respond with a bunch of things that are not legal ways to access the vast majority of video games from more than ten years ago
ludwig goransson said he was glad his childhood hobbies were creative rather than consumptive and every gamer went hey what’s so wrong with consumption, consumption is awesome
genuine question: if unexpected layoffs can hit the studio responsible for like five different games that are all industry shorthand for blockbuster prestige then why would anyone ever choose to continue working in AAA dev
todd howard at 52: i don’t know how much longer i have on this earth. i can’t make another elder scrolls ever
james cameron at 68: I GOT SIX LEFT IN ME
Elder Scrolls 6 might be Todd Howard's last Elder Scrolls:
"That is one where...I probably shouldn't say this, but if I do the math I'm not getting any younger. How long do people play Elder Scrolls for? That may be the last one I do. I don't know."

the simple answer is that “dark pinocchio” is an adaptational pitch, pinocchio is kind of creepy in concept and you can hone in on that in weird ways, but “dark winnie the pooh” is a contrarian pitch, winnie the pooh is only sweet and lighthearted
Why can people make unique and genuinely good takes on dark Pinocchio, but every take on dark Winnie the Pooh has just been boring and made purely for shock value?
Tom Holland says he was the best at keeping secrets for ‘NO WAY HOME’.
“Andrew got caught ordering [food], Tobey got caught somehow, Alfred Molina was telling people in the supermarket that he was doing Spider-Man, Willem Dafoe got photographed at the airport.”

it always rules when JD vance pretends to be a part of Real America but accidentally slips up and reveals that he thinks “having a job” means “working in a cubicle for goldman-sachs”
If your worldview tells you that it’s bad for women to become mothers but liberating for them to work 90 hours a week in a cubicle at the New York Times or Goldman Sachs, you’ve been had.
jason schwartzman coming to a profound realization about his own grief through the lens of making someone else’s movie is perhaps the most asteroid city thing that could have happened to a guy who was in asteroid city
there is something almost charmingly stupid about this particular application of this technology imo. a six year old’s concept of what creation entails. walking into a museum and seeing starry night and going “i bet i could make that bigger”
do you ever see an article that you know with 100% certainty will wind up being cited in the "unrealized projects" section of a filmmaker's wikipedia page
feminist frequency was such a bizarre phenomenon because every video was just anita sarkeesian going “it would be cool if women in video games could have thoughts and feelings” and this netted her a decade of unceasing death threats
very funny to do this passive aggressive snipe next to the trailer for barbie. like good point man the culture is healthy. we have superhero movies AND licensed movies based on children’s toys
food wars is so funny one of the main characters is half italian and every few chapters someone acts like being half italian is the same as being a saiyan
kid icarus uprising is so funny they literally made a game so goated that you have to physically hurt yourself to play it as a means of mitigating its goatedness
the polanski petition is reprehensible and all its signatories should absolutely be grilled about it in interviews but it’s incredibly funny to only think about it when someone says something mean about marvel
Scorsese Marvel discourse got me wondering why don't journalists ask more of these guys about the Roman Polanski petition? Apparently Natalie Portman and Asia Argento said signing it was a mistake. Have we ever heard from the rest of them?
the one thing the game awards gets right is that the guy hosting it is always going to be achingly reverent towards the concept of video games. you’re never gonna get a C-tier TV comedian going “armored core? more like armored snore.” geoff is going to say “it’s such an honor,”
i think if someone says something mildly demeaning about a video game you’ve never played and your reaction is to question the veracity of their penis you might need to think about where you’re at
it already feels weird to have fast travel in these games where you can travel across the map in like a minute and a half and that’s also the most enjoyable part of the game, but having fast travel this frictionless feels like it renders the “game” pointless
if rorschach’s only character trait was being a fascist watchmen would be super boring, the discomfort you feel at connecting with him as a person is a huge part of what makes the book worth reading
i genuinely can’t imagine having an emotionally enriching response to a thing and then changing my mind because a stranger said it’s bad based on imaginary metrics
i guess this is prob part of it but i think a bigger part is that 30 rock is extremely mean and like two seasons in the office and parks & rec both committed to being nice feel-good shows about friends who love each other
This will be a controversial hot take, but the real answer is that despite being a much funnier show, to the average American, a character like Liz Lemon is much less inherently relatable than people working mundane and mostly pointless jobs out of necessity for a decade
every studio has decided that every video game needs to be in development forever and they’re also all trying to figure out if it’s possible to attain this dream without developers, it is over
matt rife was on some podcast where he was like "sometimes i'll date a girl who refuses to block her exes but as soon as we break up she has no problem blocking me" and it was maybe the most revealing thing i've ever heard lmao
people joke about daniel radcliffe not being able to escape harry potter despite his best efforts but imagine being like tenth on the call sheet and not even really trying to be known for anything else
@Java_jigga
manga is winning the culture war here a bit but it’s also just winning the coherent printing practices war, they wait for ten chapters to come out then print a volume and call it “volume 20.” this technique eludes comics publishers
i hate how absolutely pleasant video game characters are now. every single AAA game character is your nice friend you like to hang out with. if they’re ever mean to you it’s either because they are a mustache twirling villain or you still need to do their side quests
the reason the successful live service games make so much money is that they’re the only games their respective player bases care about, the industry can only sustain like six games like that
there are really not a lot of people who can be accurately described as the greatest of all time and i know anime and manga people especially love to throw the phrase around but there's truly no other way to describe toriyama. idk what to say
i love video games more than almost anything else on this earth but if i could go back to my childhood and replace my game boy advance with a guitar i absolutely would
like if you said “weed is still federally illegal, that’s bad right” and someone was like “no it’s super easy to buy weed.” not really the thing i was talking about but thank you
hate to hand it to him but it actually is pretty funny to say “let’s see who can handle my epic dark sense of humor” before saying a bunch of jokes that genuinely are not edgy or offensive
for a second i was worried this wouldn’t be an insomniac superhero game but thankfully they put in a part where you activate your wolverine sense to follow a trail so i wouldn’t be confused
guys. jesus christ. the problem is not that emulation is inconvenient or even immoral, the problem is that every major archival resource on earth is at constant risk of being destroyed if any single company decides it would be cool to do that. this is not sustainable!!
is the good doctor even good at being a doctor? feel like i never see clips of him doing an impressive surgery or diagnosing a bizarre illness. mostly it’s just him crying. does he ever do medicine
hi everyone i'm the guy who's in charge of deciding where the microSD card slot on the new nintendo 3ds xl should go. i'm thinking the best place would be hidden away in a secret tower guarded by an impish gatekeeper who demands that you answer his riddles three
sorry i keep posting about scott pilgrim like it is the 2010s but. for the record. i think “you’re not supposed to like scott” is in the same school of thought as “you’re not supposed to like rorschach” in that it is a take that’s so simplified as to become borderline untrue
Ridley Scott had a cameo in an early draft of ‘BARBIE’.
The Snyder Cut reference was also originally a reference to the ‘BLADE RUNNER’ cuts — “she said, ‘I liked [Deckard’s] voiceover. I needed it to help me understand what was happening.’”

if i said "this scene in this movie was bad" and you said "you can just fast forward through it" then surely you would understand that that's not actually a response to the point being made right
turning a respected animation director loose with a real camera is such a coin toss, sometimes you get a ghost protocol and sometimes you get dave filoni’s episodes of the mandalorian

didn’t she land in the ER because she refused to drink water to accompany the full sticks of butter that she eats regularly???
i wish that i had spent more time making than ingesting!! i wish i had the discipline to make more than i ingest today!! we should celebrate making, making is the best
@9_volt_
same thing happened with resident evil village, everyone went in for the dommy mommy vampire and then had to solve some weird puzzle where you find one crystal in a mansion and take it to the cellar of another mansion and the dommy mommy vampire is barely even there
this is far and away the most believable thing about harry potter’s whole stupid system. it’s so believable that it is literally a thing that is real in real life
nintendo was like “what if you could feel different rumbles” and everyone was like “shut up dork” and now sony keeps going “what if the. triggers hurt you. what if the controller gets cold” and everyone is like “the dualsense is the greatest controller ever made”
New Sony patent would make PlayStation controllers change temperature to reflect gameplay
Enter an icy world? Your PS5 DualSense controller gets colder 👀❄️
