Came to the realization I want a classic Cyclops figure but specifically if the design looks more like the Pryde of the X-Men pilot and not '97 or how it looked in the 70s

Seriously this modern insistence on changing Peter's belt bugs me so much. I will die on the hill his suit needs to be separate pieces, with the streamlined belt marking the cut off between his shirt and pants.
How is he supposed to wear a onesie under his clothes with all this pseudo armor shit

Realizing I'm feeling depressed because I'm absorbing a constant stream of news that makes me depressed should have been a way more obvious revelation to me ngl

I was never one of those "read the manual on the drive home kids" and preferred to figure things out the hard way, but damn modern gaming losing manuals really lost an underrated piece of the artform. It's like the popcorn that goes with a movie. You don't NEED it but it's a great addition when good
I saw some (weirdly heated) discussion on X about whether or not video game manuals have value.
Even though I was/am fine with figuring out games, I still appreciate manuals.
I like the images in Super Mario Bros. 2's and 3's showcasing all the stuff Mario can do, even with only two action buttons.

When I try something new and I'm not immediately good at it, I just get bitter and sour about it.
When a company tries something new and they're not immediately the number one best entry in show for it, people lose their fucking jobs.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Review - Short Fangs
Kiwami 3 is the boldest remake of the series to date, but it makes for an uneven retelling that threatens to taint the series' legacy in the process.
