Absolutely stupid number of fantastic Playdate games here. If I may recommend some- Mars After Midnight (course); Escape the Arcade; Reflections: Nightingale; Under the Castle; Sketch, Share, Solve; Quest for the X; Pulpergeist; Castle Tintagel; and The Barkless Doctrine are all worth your money.

Sooooo…. since No Other Land doesn’t have distribution yet, who’s going to step up? (Also how often does a film win an Oscar without??)

If you have EVER enjoyed the ridiculous BIGFEETS podcast or the other work I've done in association with the comedy collective 1900HOTDOG, PLEASE READ. I've been asked to address some rumors about their operation, so here goes. Thread:

Saw The Monkey last night and am pretty sure I terrified the folks around me by cackling throughout. Thought an early screening would bring out more horror fanatics but everyone seemed unprepared and shocked at how gory it was. Super fun time in a theater!

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.
@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

My big issue with the Indy game is that every time I see a fascist it’s on sight. Got no time for stealth anymore

My local library posted the top ten movies and tv shows lent out in 2024, and despite the presence of entries like Oppenheimer and The Holdovers, the number one pick of the year? IRREVERSIBLE.

Just watched this, and agree with Ed. Fantastic film about the housing crisis in NYC that’s remarkably infuriating, in showing how unfair and fucked up it is that people are having their lives and communities destroyed for $$$. You leave Slumlord Millionaire wanting to take to the streets.
My first film of #DOCNYC was a doozy as Slumlord Millionaire was both brilliant and heartbreaking, and it hit very close to home cause the giant steel monstrosity built on the East River in my neighborhood replaced the affordable Pathmark that me and my neighbors relied on.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

Rewatching the Child’s Play movies and forgot that they switched Chucky’s origin from “serial killer performed voodoo to save his life” to “disgruntled Vietnamese factory worker removed a doll’s safeguards via code” in the remake and honestly? Not sure which is sillier

I have a Steam Deck and an XSX yet spend most of my time cranking away at (and obsessing over) this little thing. Really believe that the Playdate has ignited the creativity of developers like nothing else- there’s just so much cool shit being made for it. Now where’s that dock @play.date?

Rewatched Critters for the first time since I was a kid. Forgot that Dee Wallace is in this! With this, ET, and Cujo, she really did a crap job of protecting her 80s kids, huh

I watched the first three Prophecy films this week (there are FIVE!) and while the third is trash, the first two hold up surprisingly well! This is still one of Christopher Walken’s best lines- dude is having so much fun playing an archangel.
