it’s pretty funny that the game of thrones actor who’s had by far the most success after that show is pedro pascal, who is in GOT for about 5 minutes before dying hilariously
I don’t think they should do a pop culture version of Jeopardy. One of the best things about Jeopardy is seeing poindexters who know way too much about quantum physics not know who Michael Jordan is
Ok but when are we going to make contact with North Sentinel Island? Are we going to have Mars colonies and trans human cyborgs but just keep a bunch of people in a pre bronze age bubble until the end of time?
this is silly but i’m a little floored every time i listen to “stacy’s mom.” what should be a dumb novelty track is instead one of the most mathematically perfect pop songs of my lifetime
my main problem with discord replacing reddit/forums is that if i have a problem with my router, i don’t wanna go join the router club and talk to router guys about it. i just wanna read a thread from 8 months ago where someone figured it out
if Elden Ring is gonna be your first Souls game, a word of advice: you can just run past enemies like 90% of the time. that’s been true in all of these games
i think that we as a society are slowly losing the battle against people who think it's ok to pull out their phones at the movie theater and we need to fight back
for some reason in 9th grade sex ed class the teacher made it a point to say “smoking weed won’t make you better at sex” and a stoner guy got so angry he got up and left the room
you don’t get to spend decades making fun of America for liking burgers and then accuse us of not knowing what a burger is. it’s one or the other, not both
David Hogg’s mentions are the worst place on twitter right now. Blue MAGA viciously tearing down a guy who simply watched his classmates die and wants something done about it
i don't really know what the solution is to this but a really frustrating thing about working in corporate america is that upward mobility almost always means becoming someone else's boss, when that's most likely not what you want to do or what you're best at doing
Really excited for a lot of people to find out Morpheus has been canonically dead since like 2007 or something because of an in-game event in The Matrix Online
succession discourse is awesome to follow without watching the show because every monday morning there are 900 images of some guy standing in an office in a way that apparently makes people sob uncontrollably
The thing about avoiding Tesla in favor of Ford or Hyundai or whatever else is not that those other companies are necessarily “good” or “ethical.” But, very importantly, they are “car companies”
Final Fantasy XIV is cool because you’ll group up with 3 other people and their character names will invariably be stuff like:
- Lilith Flameweaver
- Ryoko Inuyasha
- Pinball Greg
Anyone who thinks Hank Hill would vote for Trump has, and I’m putting this generously for the sake of politeness, an incomplete understanding of King of the Hill
many viral dating posts can be summed up as “i decided to be cruel to someone who reached out to me across the void of loneliness in slightly the wrong way and should be applauded for it”
Chalamet’s career would benefit a lot from some director realizing that, like Gyllenhaal, he’s just more believable as a weird creepy snake than a prettyboy leading man
It’s so cool that there were Three Stooges and Gilligan’s Island and Addams Family games for NES. Timeline-wise that’s sorta like if someone had made a Cheers game for PS4
still so funny that last jedi was like “any ol’ nobody has the power to save the galaxy” and rise of skywalker was like “jk there are 3 families in this entire universe”
remember when activision made a miraculous tony hawk 1+2 remake that everyone loved and sold really well and the dev team was working on 3+4 until activision was like “nah you do diablo now”
it’s so funny that disney has this massive universe with thousands of years of lore to play with but every story inevitably is about the same four people over the same 20 year period
i went to a small down diner in a swing state and they couldn’t stop talking about the star wars hotel video essay. they told me they’ll never go to a theater again because they loved it so much
"Why are movie theaters dying?" Maybe it's because we can watch a 4 hour video essay on why the Star Wars hotel failed for free, rather than pay soaring ticket prices to see Ryan Reynolds talk to some CG slop
your reward for being good at your job for a long time is...to be given a completely different job that requires a completely different skill set. no wonder so many people are bad bosses
“hey why isn’t basically the main guy in the new movie”
“well he got shot in an alleyway in a video game you can’t legally play anymore. sorry boss there’s nothing we can do”
I respect people who only play Hitman in a suit with a silenced pistol but I feel strongly that those games are not about being cool. they are about being Bugs Bunny
This has always driven me crazy about the teen version in particular. These kids know all about the Teapot Dome Scandal but they start sweating when you ask a question about Mario
killing major bosses gives you enough xp to level up like 5 times, it’s far more worthwhile than struggling with the same group of skeletons over and over
gonna echo what a lot of folks are saying re: Activision Blizzard: none of that gets fixed without a union, straight up. you can punish bad actors or put new people in charge but workers without a seat at the table will always be vulnerable
They’ll hold you up as a golden figurehead and then turn you into a villain the second you stop toeing the party line and demand more. Sick, sick people
The smartest thing Challengers does is frame itself around Tashi’s relationship with competition rather than her relationships with either men. The second smartest thing it does is play Wipeout PS1 music a little too loud half the time
The best thing about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is when the Vikings roll up to the British shoreline and see a worship ceremony and they’re like “wait these freaks worship their god’s corpse?”
A lot of people think The Matrix is just an action movie but there’s a lot of deeper stuff in there. Like the part where you hear “Dragula” for 30 seconds
I guess my point is if you willingly buy a Tesla in 2024, when every major brand is making its own EVs that are almost certainly better, you’re probably stupid
The
#Barbenheimer
conversation is heating up on Twitter. We’ll see what happens at the box office this weekend. But one thing's for sure – they’re both blockbusters on Twitter!
it’s very hard to have any faith in a political party that’s failed every test of your lifetime, never learned anything along the way, and condescended to you every time you’ve suggested a different solution
the most insane thing about the Mario movie is that Brian Tyler wrote a bunch of really nice arrangements of Mario music and the movie goes out of its way to NOT use them at every opportunity
Fun fact: The Super Mario Bros. Movie's composer had to fight to use the Super Star theme for the film's climactic fight instead of Van Halen's "Jump".
Google deploying AI that tells people to drink bleach is so cool. imagine if the first iPhone could only make phone calls 6% of the time but Apple insisted you had to use it because it might work in 10 years
it's easy to look at bad management as an individual character flaw but more often than not i think it's just that we turn workers into bosses when they are better suited to be workers
are modern parents actually afraid of sleepovers? that sucks if so. staying up until 3am pounding dr peppers and playing DBZ Budokai 3 builds character
