I am steadfast in my belief Insomniac is the most unfairly maligned and incessantly nitpicked developer in history. Six years of screaming at them about your favourite Spider-Man skin not being in the game has ended, commence six years of saying Wolverine ISNT violent enough (???????)

A Reddit thread saying there is no limb detachment in the wolverine game except cutscenes

“hopefully Insomniac correct this before release”

So bored of both these excuses but also want to point out they are somewhat contradictory. You can't do the 'ho hum it's everywhere, roll with it!' stuff but then also hedge your bets with 'but it wont be in the final game' -why not, buddy?

The ADL has a website dedicated to attacking Mamdani staffers—including my friend Waleed Shahid. The ADL is applying a level of scrutiny to him they aren’t applying to literal neo-Nazis working in the federal government. Waleed has a Jewish wife and child. The ADL is a disgrace.

fuck fuck fuck Letterboxd is down, how am I gonna post my hilarious review of Spider-Man. Ok you guys can see it first; Ummmmm, she forgot her extremely annoying bf? Good for her!!!!! 🧡:235,2020

Are there still no reviews of Marvel Tokkon? I was intrigued as a Marvel enjoyer but an EXTREMELY casual fighting game guy; guess I’m gonna play the waiting game a bit more to see how people take to it.

i am real person and aew fan but i am in my 30s and it is difficult to spend 6 hours on a wrestling show and even harder to get friends to come watch it when it ends at midnight. pacing generally is aew’s week spot. sometimes you have to leave the candy store before you overload

Is it just me or is the only people complaining about overruns and ppv lengths the people who make money covering wrestling? "I already have to watch so much, AEW needs to do less".
