I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed GOAT.

I’m also surprised that Sony released this to theaters (it’s a pretty generic story, saved by its characters and animation) but sold K-Pop Demon Hunters to Netflix.

While he started out great in season 1, I think 2012 Leonardo is the most obnoxious/my least favourite version.

It’s not Seth Green’s fault, but after taking over the voice, he was just writing so arrogant and self righteously. Especially during the space arc.

Bold of you to assume I’ve ever had friends.
watching John Green talk about his buddy from high school who is still his friend and I’m curious, is that common for people on here?

Ben’s been sick last few days. He passed out on the couch, was moaning in his sleep. Then he woke up, looked me in the eye then went:

“I am evil Homer, I am evil Homer.”

I’ll take my noble prize for parenting right now.

The stream reviews on the Rayman 30th anniversary game are baaaaaad.

Aside from the change of the soundtrack, is there anything else bad with it?

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that
"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

Even with 25% off, so many of these are still insanely overpriced….

Kiwami 3's...uh, everything, has maybe been the speedrun world record in tanking player trust, but RGG's been whittling it away for a while.

Remember the Limited Run (re-)releases of Yakuza from late 2024-early 2025 (which means they probably haven't actually shipped yet)? Lemme weave you a tale:

Tangle and Whisper are cast perfectly.

They sound exactly like they did in my head while reading IDW.

Threw my back out folding laundry last night.

Couldn’t even put socks on this morning. Hurts to move.

Had to break out my old friend just to make it to the bathroom.

Is it time for the sun to explode yet?

I’d love to read the first draft of the Mario Bros movie, to see if there was an actual…..y’know, plot originally.

Snark aside, I wonder if there was more backstory to things like the power ups/the kingdoms etc, or if it was always just “you know these from the games. If you don’t, fuck you!”
