watched Smile and Smile 2 and it's really weird to just make the same film twice, especially when the first time was just a remake of a short film
the second one is better, but... like LITERALLY doing the phone call bit again? so weird

Can’t remotely sleep but RIP Udo Kier. A more cultured man would know him from more than Red Alert 2, but a wiser man would know you can’t improve on perfection anyway. The FMV GOAT.

It’s a tragedy that Aris ended up just being another negativity is cool influencer instead of a regular FGC commentator because my god he smokes 90% of people. Still, probably not making the world a worse place.

Any debate on these 6 (the 6 highest rated games on Metacritic this year) being the TGA GOTY candidates on Monday? 4 indie games is quite funny, especially given E33 is gonna win. Could see Blue Prince, Split Fiction, or DK not making it, with BP the least likely, but idk what you'd replace with.

What's weird is I don't know anyone who thinks even concrete, video proof of him committing sex crimes would actually do anything meaningful at this point, so I really dunno what he could possibly be scared of? Maybe it'd be personally damaging even if it wouldn't take him out of office?
One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

The idea of a gaming PC that doesn't have 4-8 gigabytes of RAM used up by Windows overheads and copilot is really, really fucking tempting, especially when it's so small I could take it to a mate's house.

I think the AI voice acting thing that annoys me most is like - ye, okay, you don't wanna pay voice actors, voice directors, whatever. They're barks and nobody will barely notice them anyway. But, there's a thousand tried-and-true methods to fix this, all of which are artistically better/interesting

so, so many of my suggested posts on Twitter are people saying they're going to kill themselves, or people with fatal diseases about to die
i parachute into X/Twitter a lot for my job and obviously have chronicled the devolution but today it feels that, even outside of the realm of groyperposting the broad culture there is just like *i have lead poisoning*
