I never read the original source material so I liked the movie up until like the last third of it where it was fairly obvious they were wantonly shoving subplots into the chipper.

Personally I'm in the "people actually go see those movies?" group, but I also would not be surprised at all if this turned out to be a symptom of how in-your-face-all-the-time companies like Disney have warped our sense of "cultural impact".

Also also, why would any of us want to live in a world that can't create "arrow to the knee" memes? 🙃

Tangentially related, I recently played through Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and I keep wanting to rave about the quality of the writing, but then I realize the stuff I want to talk about would be massive spoilers.

All I wanted in the movie from the book was cool exosuits, and we didn't get cool exosuits. 🙁

My mother's terms are "you must drop whatever you're doing and have an hour+ long conversation whenever I call or you clearly don't love me anymore even though we're FAMILY". And, like, I do love her. She's my mom. But no I can't deal with that.

Having flashbacks to Cave Story and needing to maintain a document to list what four digit flag number is associated with what event.

I think about Doug Forcett (of The Good Place) a lot every time stuff like this comes up.

I'll be 48 in a month and a half. This tracks.

The one about turtles being nature's suction cups still sticks with me.

I've seen so many job postings for positions at mobile game studios and they pretty much all read like "you don't have any personal ethics, right?"

Muppet Movie, Great Muppet Caper, and Father Goose are the only ones I can say with 100% confidence were in the VHS cabinet. My memory is failing me. 😖

I always think of that one time I was playing a game and just needed to roll anything but a 1 on a d6. I rolled seven 1s in a row, which, if I'm mathing right, is 1/279936 odds. Statistically improbable never means impossible.
