At libraries around the country, "Avoiding AI" workshops have elicited unprecedented demand.

If you're on a Lori Petty kick, check out Tank Girl next.

You could also do the Loki/Dr. Strange thing where they fall into a hole in space, and then fall back out the next time the player can show up to the game.

I'm still salty about Tears of the Kingdom and Animal Crossing being paid upgrades :|

If you're going to repost stuff from the other site, I want to see their best jokes, not shitty political takes.

The lack of proper upgrades on the Switch 2 will go down as one of Nintendo's memorable fumbles, mark my words. They're teaching their customers not to trust their hardware upgrades. A lot of Switch 1 games look *worse* on the Switch 2 due to the horrible resolution scaling.

I guess for my personal experiences it'd be NES, Genesis, PS1, Dreamcast, as that was the sequence of my childhood. But PS2 has a good case for being the best follow-up console of all time.

Honestly, no notes. There's an argument for the Japanese Saturn with it's incredible arcade ports (the OG home version of X-Men vs Street Fighter being a standout, IMO), and even the U.S. version had some underrated classics like Last Bronx, but at the end of the day it's niche.

So, how do you feel about black currants?

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

This is, IMO, a hidden cost of the greed rush that led every studio to open their own streaming service so they wouldn't have to share profits with Netflix. The result was a ton of shows that probably didn't need to happen, and dilution of their franchises.

The hook of superheroes shouldn’t be the costumes either. Spider-Man is about being young and poor and overwhelm but fighting the good fight anyway because if you don’t then you have to watch everything you love die. Modern screenwriters aren’t doing the material justice.

Inflated budgets have wrecked both Hollywood and AAA game dev. It makes everyone risk-averse, and a constant stream of “safe” projects has bored the audience. Indie studios are keeping cinema and gaming alive, imo

They have costumes, they fight outside of a legal or nation-state framework, and they have secret identities. Their story doesn’t fall into the pattern of modern HeroSlop though, which is probably why it succeeds. They presented heroes that young women/girls could identify with.

K-pop Demon Hunters was a female-led superhero movie that was only released on streaming and became a cultural phenomenon. I think this is a creative problem more than it’s an audience fatigue problem. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Worse than the incest baby episode?

I'd put the estimate closer to 95% of the time, but I'm a guy, so I could be off a bit.

A new report by the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem found Israeli soldiers killed at least 54 Palestinian children and teens in the West Bank last year, the highest rate since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967.
