still turning over my thoughts on ONE BATTLE - if you are confused about the shape that whole thing takes, I wrote up my take on VINELAND last month and just fixed the thumbnail!

Bomberman collection on switch is pretty cool, I’m like the youngest possible person alive who still thinks Super Nintendo bomberman is the platonic ideal of multiplayer game

One thing I see a lot on reels is people posting “boss move” edits of scenes from that Hulu WeWork show as if the things they’re doing are ”aspirational” or “good” or “not absolute nonsense“ and every time I open the comments I just gotta wonder do people remember what happened to WeWork

I own the entire 2014 run and the Lemire one and I only watched the first episode of that thing. I was ready to be moonstruck and I couldn’t even make it to hour 2
Funny couple years there where Marvel thought people would go all in on Moon Knight. He’s not just for the meme freaks this time! For sure Oscar Isaacs will be interested and available long/short term!

for the past 10 years - since this backpacking trip to Ice Lake in the Wallowas - I’ve basically always had on my person a paperback copy of whichever Dark Tower book I was struggling through at the moment.

emily got me expedition 33 for christmas, and i tried to pick up my pre-gamepass-cancellation save from April (approx 8 hours in) and it's incomprehensible. I would pay 150 USD right now for a Prima Guide. I do not want a website, I do not want a YouTube video, and for that, I am doomed to suffer.

There Must Be Retribution
Abolishing ICE isn't enough. So what is?

taking a moment to post something positive in the face of all this - i have been thinking about the bone temple nonstop since i saw it on Tuesday. how did they do it. it’s a perfect movie and they hid it in the middle of a 28 days later sequel trilogy. Nia DaCosta, man.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

In Paper Mario, Mario has 8 partners. However, there are enough unused and scrapped partners referenced in the game's files to make another full party. Here is a glimpse of an alternate reality with all of Mario's potential partners.

Hey, just purely out of curiosity, has anyone ever gotten the Rascal a-la-carte paywall to work? This is like the 3rd time I’ve tried to pay a dollar to read a piece and it simply will not do anything with any of my credit cards

getting word that the next American Godzilla film might feature him and Kong going up against SpaceGodzilla
my senior year of high school we all got tablets and I would just use mine to Google things like “tmnt”. I have a crystal clear memory of searching “godzilla” and seeing the poster for Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla and just whispering “holy shit” while my poor English teacher watched and sadly frowned
