At their Maple Flats home along Spirit Lake Highway, some 20 mi. from Mount St. Helens, Gary Brault and family notice the sky above and to the east being swallowed by a boiling cloud of ash.

Breakfast interrupted, Gary runs outside and photographs the rising monstrosity.

IMAGINE IF MEN WERE TAUGHT TO LEAD WITH COMPASSION AND A FOGHORN LEGHORN ACCENT INSTEAD OF SNARK AND BELITTLING PEOPLE INTO UNDERSTANDING
imagine how much better a generation of men would be if their go to detective character was not sherlock or house and was instead benoit blanc. instead of sarcastic debate bros we could’ve gotten millions of silly little guys.

like I say, MISERY (1990) wastes no time, none at all, we get the first Annie Wilkes meltdown just 17 minutes in, every Annie Wilkes cuss in this entire script, every last one, is so bitchly iconic

MISERY (1990) is one I'd love to watch for the first time all over again a hundred times because it was filed and whittled to just the most perfectly sharp points; זכרונו לברכה

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Folks, tell me what your favorite in-game moments were this year. This can be a narrative moment, a new mechanic introduction, or whatever you interpret that question to mean. RTs appreciated

if the stress of studying for final exams as they roll into the holiday season wasn’t enough, students have to worry about literally surviving weekend study sessions because of gun violence. it’s just devastating

Thinking about this and how it feels a little weird to say "I love this game I don't think I have any intention of finishing" but then realized that also happened with Nier Automata. I think this is a way that games truly are art like any other: you can just appreciate the artistry and achievement
I suppose it's more accurate to say "very not for me at a point" because I'm not a completionist which Tunic *strongly* rewards. But I love it and appreciate it and now feel okay about opening my physical version of the manual that I bought 😎

Ok I've been playing Tunic. I've reached the second half and looked up a guide for a puzzle and was like "Oh this is cool! Even deeper than I thought!" and then i saw how many collectibles and stuff there are to unlock the full ending and I'm like hm i don't know if I care enough to actually finish.

Saturn's equinox, when the rings also "disappear" from view, occurs only about every 15 years. 2025 was the year for this. The next one is in Jan. 2039.

One easy fix would be to eliminate categories based on genre or whatever “indie” means and instead get granular about craft (best level design, best world, best combat, etc) which would probably pose other problems but at least make for more interesting conversations and honor specific people

its genuinely so fucking cool to hear that Last of Us director had the foresight to see the stagnation doing more of the same would lead to and was like "nah fuck this I want to keep making new interesting things"

this rules and his new game looks rad as hell store.steampowered.com/app/3041680/...

I am very sympathetic to those who have built something on substack for years and are having trouble leaving. But to begin a substack now? In late 2025? idk man!!!!
