Why the fuck is there a 'Most Anticipated Game' category for the Game of the Year Awards? What an utterly worthless do-nothing accolade

"American girls have to sell sex to the nominee for attorney general of the United States to get braces" sounds like Soviet propaganda

In hindsight, that "cutscenes are gaming's failure state" article from 2008 or so really fucked up a lot of games back in the day

The fall in violent crime is too big to be explained by any single cause, but I've always thought that immigration from cultures where drinking eight pints and getting into a fight isn't seen as a normal way to spend your Saturday night must be a non-trivial part of it.

The original Dawn of the Dead is quite charming 50 years later - everyone clearly pulls their punches and every zombie who gets shot makes sure to fall down very carefully so they don't hurt themselves

The Rose Field is like a latter Iain Banks novel - hundreds of pages of aimlessness to set up an abrupt and underwhelming conclusion. Disappointing.

Rewatching Taboo (2017) and it's very refreshing to watch a drama in which no one tells a single joke.

Scream (1996) - "Our friend was murdered! Who would do something so awful?"

Scream (2022) - "Someone tried to murder our friend! Lol, one of us probably did it!"

The fucking state of writing these days. This planet deserves the abyss.

Like, a lot of online discourse feels like fan fiction about real people, both public figures and not. Posters exchanging head canons about their goals, motivations, and inner lives.

No, I'm sure it's fine long-term that 80% of everything I see on job websites is either obviously a scam or looks like a scam, that there are no entry level jobs for any industry or field, or that people are expected to fund their own training with jobs they can't get without training

These people couldn’t have been more clear that they think not liking them is radicalisation; being angry with them for things they’ve done and said is extremism; asking them unwelcome questions is bullying and harassment, and raising your voice at them is criminal assault.

Yes, it does! Racism isn't just something you think, it's something you do! And no one who isn't a racist would support a racist policy! Words mean things!

Being done by a country whose economy is almost 18 times the size of South Korea's, no less.
So we took our tariffs on South Korea from 0.8% to 25%, and are now demanding that they give us $350b in “investments,” from which we will take 90% of the profits, in exchange for dropping that rate down to a mere 15%.

That shit would make John Gotti blush.
Of COURSE it would be ludicrous for South Korea to hand corrupt moron bigot crook Trump "$350 billion" for investment in the USA given their annual US exports are like $130B.

YES it would be better to have US importers pay a 25% tariff for SK products.

She went back in and asked what happened to her ice cream. The staff there had no idea.

Then, a deep voice boomed from a corner of the shop.

“I believe you stuck it in your handbag,” Redford said, with a hint of amusement.

Sure enough, there it was.

One day, my mom’s friend went to an ice cream shop in California to get a cone.

After she paid and got her cone, she went to leave and bumped into someone behind her.

That someone was Robert Redford.

Flustered, she left. When she got to her car, she realized she didn’t have her cone.
