The Evil Betty

Same blunt socially bereft dickhead with the heart of gold you remember, but now referencing something very dumb that most people won't get.

People are out here trying to 'no true Scotsman' the word 'gamer' and I am over here ready to throw down if someone calls me one. I'll play games all day, but I'll be dead with 20 knives in my back before I accept that rancid, flamin' hot cheeto dust encrusted crown of shame. Gross. FOH.

Remake Saints Row 2, you cowards! No unreal engine shenanigans or 'definitive edition' bullmess either. Make it run on current APIs, give it some modest graphical improvements like color depth and modest lighting improvements, fix a few bugs and call it good.

Why can't people be normal about fitness? It's always a porn account or someone vibrating at the frequency of time with influencer neurosis and/or Requiem for a Dream style diet pills. I work out 3* a week and it's the last you'll hear of it. Because it doesn't matter and flexes are dumb.

Goddamnit. I am now back into the redneck ass habit of energy drinks. An AuDHD brain needs a high octane fuel so that you can function executively while your brain plays Benny Goodman too loud and tries to think about E.A. Poe, poison dart frogs and mowing the lawn at the same time.

-Oh you read the bible? What parts? -The parts that taken out of context give me license to be a shitty creep with almost no consequences. None of that ultimate personal responsibility to become better than my unexamined, uncontrolled and unconscious impulses unless it is someone else doing it!

All teenage me wanted to do was get high and play video games. I should have never listened to anyone else, who were only trying to sell a miserable life of servitude. "I fell into this trap and I demand that those that follow me march lockstep into the same Pink Floyd/Fargo style meat randomizer."

There's a map set for Quake called Tremor out and while it's not eye candy focused like Arcane Dimensions, it is very fun. As you may have guessed from the name it is primarily focused on bringing you a classic experience like the original mapset. No bullshit difficulty, no foreknowledge required.

The attacks against the Odyssey are not going to stop for a long time. It was a successful traditional film done the hard way and they want to gut that and push their cheap slop to dominate.

I think my problem with video game movies is I just plain like video games more than movies. Unless a movie is particularly haunting/moving/exceptional I would just rather be playing a game. Even by the end of a really good movie I am kind of impatient for it to be over.

Did you know?: That you can let a mentionin of Lovecraft pass without volunteering he was a racist? Nobody discussing Lovecraft is in the dark about that. You are not bringing new information to light. This is in fact the 'Tomatoes are really a fruit, you know,' of literary conversation gambits.

I do not see a clear path to Elder Scrolls VI or Fallout 5 being anything but a massive disappointment. And the FO remakes are likely to be "remastered" the same way Oblivion was. Badly. The AAA industry is too stupid to make a slam dunk game successful anymore.

I think the main purpose of socmeds is to give people the illusion they have a method of redress in class power imbalance. It's just writing on a really long wall. You cannot appeal to authority here and you certainly cannot become one.

Are you guys still complaining about people complaining about a movie? There is nothing more to say on the matter. It's been 15 years of this bullshit. At this point it is just noise for it's own sake. Let it go.
