As a Braves fan, I am ecstatic that Freeman now has three rings. I also get to claim the Dodgers whenever I want because my grandad pitched like half a spring training game for them in the 60s.

I own over 500 games on Amazon Games. I even have the launcher installed. Notably, I have not purchased a single one of these games & I currently cannot find a way to purchase games via this app, nor can I recall ever seeing a way to do so. I legitimately do not know where I could have bought games.
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

My feed right now, “Give everyone their flowers cause the MM2 composer didn’t even know that people liked his literal industry-defining OST.”
Also my feed, “Are there even any good games? I’ve only played half a dozen in my entire life and here’s my take.”

Showing of Wanted. The Angelina Jolie scene toward the end. The second “it” happened a dude stood up and screamed, “Oh fuck no! Fuck this movie. What the actual fuck.” And continued yell the entire way down the stairs and out of the movie without seeing the last 20ish minutes.
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?
During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

Someone in my audience had a very audible negative reaction to the dog scene in TOGETHER. So that was fun!

What video game ignited your passion for gaming?
Mega Man X is the only game I’ve been more than like 3 times. I’ve played it to death and it still hits. I can recite the opening lines to Icewind Dale because it showed me Faerûn was a real place. Alkaiser’s Theme in SaGa Frontier is goated.

The @jocat.net stream with @ghostcrawler.bsky.social & @acobi.bsky.social from @fpcstudio.bsky.social talking about Ghost was absolutely goated. Love seeing that type of dev / community interaction and I NEED A KISUAN YESTERDAY.

Didn’t expect to have an exact mirror held up to me for my own experiences getting laid off by a tiny, stop motion chef. Probably gonna fuck around and cry myself to sleep now.

Clair Obscur has all the fuckin sauce. This one will sit with me for a long time. This felt laser fucking targeted at my own personal tragedy, grief, and depression and it’s gonna take me some time to chew through it. On the other hand, I still want to make a full list of overt FF homages it did.

So, uhhh... I wrote almost 4,000 words on this subject. Could probably use a little editing and I kinda left a few points to die on the vine, but I'm trying to grind out the last few missions in PTCGP before they end at 2am. So, you know, irony isn't dead. Enjoy!
