Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.

NWI still getting the business but on the Illinois side looks like the major threat is over

went to a friend's wedding tonight where their RSVP had a "say something nice about the happy couple!" text box and i thought it was just a tacky bit of a generic wedding rsvp form they used but you couldn't skip it so... well... they get up for their first dance, and right behind them...

@paulpaterrn.bsky.social were you at the Sox game tonight?

i wonder what would happen if spiderman had a brand new day

I've got a couple aquariums, nice to have some life around. My biggest trouble was this angelfish I named Big Dumb Jerk. He was territorial, temperamental, and picky. Made it so I couldn't really have any other fish in his tank. After almost 7 years, he died yesterday.

just thinkin' bout the odyssey and what a killing a theater chain would be makin' if they had a giant 70mm IMAX screen located right in the heart of chicago gosh that sucker would be printing money, you'd hafta be pretty darn incompetent to give somethin' like that up ah well dang, too bad

Been listening to Filmspotting for 20 years, it brought me to loving movies, it brought me to Chicago, there's no program remotely close for people who just want to hear conversations about loving movies and discover new ones. The Family membership is already a steal, this is a must-have.

Wanna play JS Joust on the Chicago River? Maybe with a couple other games & some chill DJs? Good news cuz tomorrow THAT’S HAPPENIN! A Lil Bit JS Joust at the Wild Mile is from 7-11pm on Sat, July 18th. It’s free & your friends will be there (we are your friends!) Info 🔗 bitbashchicago.com

This one's tough because I did see a lot of R rated movies, but they're censored in Singapore so while it might technically be Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan, the first "oh we're gonna watch an R-rated movie" was with my friend Stephen getting our hands on an uncensored bootleg of Jason X.

Patrick Klepek@patrickklepek.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Do you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently

if only homer had lived long enough to see how high he got on the tomatometer

Three games, four DJs, friends & nature 🍃🐞 Join us this Sat, July 18th on the Chicago River for a Lil’ Bit JS Joust at the Wild Mile! Free with a suggested donation of $15. For more information & to RSVP visit us at bitbashchicago.com

Pulled my old electronic kit out of storage to get back into drumming. Been great to have a thing to help relax when I need it, meditate when I need it, and also have a rage outlet when I need it.

The problem with finding an answer to this question is all these movies had utterly baffling plots but breathtaking, immaculate immersive set and production design, and with movies for young people these days, all that shit is CG.
