The Odyssey film was like going on some kind of odyssey man, that was pretty cool Going around saying “Zeus’ law” like they didn’t mean ξενία smh
Did Bad Bunny just accidentally go to the beach that makes you old and go, “This is good enough.”
Really funny that Kiwami 3 recast has Hamazaki looking like he’s 5 foot tall, shorter even than Rikiya, but the game still acts like he’s a big and dangerous brute character like nah man, Rikiya could just through him across the park what are you talking about
Kind of messed up that they keep announcing video games when there’s so many for people to catch-up on
I still find it so fascinatingly weird that Ghost of Yotei decided to include fail-safe solutions for its puzzle in one of the areas of the game in case players didn’t get the puzzle solving tool, instead of just, having players come back when they had the puzzle solving tool
Two of the best show endings for me have always been Mad Men and Justified because it’s not just the finale that’s spent trying to close things out but the entire final season dedicated to wrapping up character plots, connecting themes, and moving the story on
Astreia@redoubters.bsky.social · 9mo agoGiven that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show: What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc
It’s really funny to consider that given how Pennywise works, Leon Kennedy would have literally no trouble beating, just suplex him through a window like “what a weird clown”
My book The Black Emperor about a supernatural assassin is currently on sale for 99 cents on Kindle for the next few days, it would be a great present to me this holiday season if you checked it out! 📚🪐 💙 #booksky

It’s that time of year again where everyone is reminded how much they love STATS, yes Spotify and Apple, tell me how much of my life I spent this year listening to music, especially the very specific minutes spent on certain musicians and songs
My main takeaway rewatching Breaking Bad is that it’s really funny how Walt’s shitty black fedora is basically his green goblin mask
What do you mean Two Point: Museum has a zoo DLC, shouldn’t Two Point: Zoo be like their next game? What an incredible thing, GOTY easy
It’d be really funny if after all the discourse Donkey Kong: Bananza won GOTY
Wild to see One Piece finally move to seasonal roll-out, an incredible move to do right before Elbaf, excited to see how it’s going to look after what they managed to do with Wano and Egghead while still doing the weekly anime roll-out, what an exciting time for One Piece
I am struck with awe at how little of your time Legends Z-A seems to waste, you can move Pokemon around whenever you want, change moves, immediate access to fast travel, no text boxes telling you that you picked up an item and put it into the item pouch
Deeply fascinated by the culture and fandom developing around Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it almost feels like it’s some peoples’ first video game, so many GOTY discussions flooded with comments about how it “undeniably wins” for various reasons that could be applied to any game in discussion
Obviously there’s a lot symbolic and thematic elements to Silent Hill f but the mum & dad fight having them turn into grotesque monsters that spend the whole battle hurling vitriolic speech at Hinanko, only to not die but actually leave the house in human forms as if nothing happened is fantastic
Always appreciate when games use New Game+ as a way to extend the story and build upon it more than just playing the game again but with everything unlocked, digging Silent Hill F using it to recontextualise what’s going on using post-game information while still building on it with new information
The true horror of Silent Hill f is how long it takes for your stamina to recharge, it’s just like real life!
This RGG Summit better announced something Binary Domain related or I’m OUT
Truly fascinating seeing Randy Pitchford over the years be so desperate to become a Hideo Kojima, a Sam Lake, a true video game auteur despite not really doing anything on any of the Borderlands games except rubber stamp cheques, save the first one where he did work on it somewhat
Always interesting how people justify wanting Luffy to not do good things because he's said "I'm not a hero!" but they never dig into how he grew up with Garp "Hero of the Marines" so probably associates being a hero with being a marine, which he hates,, so wouldn't want to be a hero
