I’m so sorry Stella. We lost one of our cats earlier this year, and it’s a horrible thing. He looked like an excellent cat. Wishing you peace.

Kyle Gordon’s new album dropped, and Hero of Fallujah is one of the best songs he’s made yet. Changing to a major key at the end is so fucking funny.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

I mean, these are the same people who think Blade needs a premise more than just “Blade kills a ton of vampires and there’s a blood rave at one point”, so I shouldn’t be too surprised.

Correct. Nintendo only owns 33% of the Pokemon IP, the other 2/3 are split between Game Freak (who develop the games) and CREATURES INC (who manage the anime and card game and stuff). Nintendo has no ownership or real control over Game Freak.

Honestly? GTA. I mostly play Nintendo and indies, but I loved RDR2. That studio making a modern Bonnie & Clyde in a satirical Florida? I’m so on board. All the shit with the ultimate edition and pre orders and no physical edition sucks shit. 100%. But I’m still excited to play that fuckin game.

It’s not complicated!!! My in-laws were abusive pieces of shit. My parents weren’t perfect; but even the stuff I disagree with in hindsight, I understand how they came to those decisions (and they were never rooted in anything other than love for my sister and I and wanting to protect us).

My sister-in-law is a drama professor. Once, she was working at a Catholic elementary school and they staged a production of Narnia. The staff came to her and asked if they could remove the bit where the lion dies because it might be too upsetting.

Imagine Stephen King, circa 1997, putting out daily press releases promoting his anti-gay org while publishing horror books as Richard Bachman. Imagine George Lucas, circa 2007, announcing a billion dollar fund for anti-Muslim lawsuits, then launching 'The Clone Wars.' This is J.K. Rowling today.

It might end up being catastrophic. I’ve been known to enjoy gambling on occasion, but I think needing to go to an actual casino to do so is a critical barrier to it. Having genuine gambling available in your pocket 24/7 is asking for trouble.

A classic Spam musubi is a top tier midnight snack. Fry a slice till it gets a little crispy with rice and seaweed. Really versatile too; you can add whatever chili crisp or sauces or whatever you want. Protip: get the reduced sodium Spam. It’s still plenty salty.

Ended vacation w/ my family yesterday by smoking a joint, having a couple beers and playing most of a run in the Star Fox remake. Went to bed and met a friend first thing after waking up to see Jackass. Have to go back to the hell of real life tomorrow, but that was about as good as it can get.
