Not really, people are more engaged in individual sports so douchekayaks are more prevalent.

What about tommy guns?

A still from the 1975 film Death Race 2000 showing Sylvester Stallone behind the wheel of a race car modified to have a giant kabar knife and two thompson machine guns mounted on the front.

Not only is it cold there but you can only listen to the lesser known tracks on albums. That's why it's called Side-Beria.

I don't know about these censored Prodigy songs, "Change my pitch up, smack my b-word up" just doesn't have the same grit.

So a Star Wars character action game, squad based strategy, flight sim, open world, and racing game have all been decent to really good. They need to keep going. We need a new RTS, management sim, cozy farm game, and a sequel to Star Wars Dance.

Other rightward waffling about crime or immigration or taxes or whatever have been granted too much wiggle room for playing to a perceived center electorate. As much as possible we shouldn’t let the same thing happen with this. Call them bigots in public.

It’s easier to assume every Democrat cutting ads throwing trans people under the bus genuinely believes in what they’re saying. At least I don’t see any reason to think otherwise and we should treat them as such.

They’re really putting a stain on the dream WE ALL HAVE of hustling through a hallway to your limo while spouting orders at your harried personal assistant. Make sure my dry cleaning is done, order me a box of those cigars Johnson likes and make sure we have a table at Luigi’s. Got that Shirley?

Look around you (picture of Luke,) look around you (close up on tree,) just look around you (zoom in on a rock,) can you tell what we’re looking for? The correct answer is (whip pan to Yoda lifting the X-Wing) The Force.

As with all horror icons the Noid can be considered a representation of trauma.

EVs are inevitable and don't need help selling but I think someone should still try and find a way to make the motors look really cool and visible under the rear window like they do with gas mid-engine hypercars. Never underestimate the power of gawking at the shiny fast-making bits.

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Yikes yeah, though as bad as ANiS is Dear Doctor may be the only Enterprise episode up there with the worst of the other series. Except maybe that one where there were some aliens with three genders and one of them was subservient? Now we're really straining against what I can recall though.

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Hope I feel the same way! In my memory it was really difficult for me to overlook that it feels like it had a lot of what we are now present-day Legacy Sequel issues and also feeling torn between wanting a fresh start for the series (It's not called Star Trek, pop song opening, no PD) and nostalgia.

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I could do with a rewatch since it's been a long time. I recently started Voyager again and have found myself kinder to the series than I was back in the day (except for episodes like Tattoo, also a Code of Honor level blunder) so maybe I'll find the same with Enterprise.

100

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Speaking for myself it's a combo of there being basically no "highs" of Enterprise to balance out its worst episodes and the fact that I'd hope the show at large might improve from a late 80s perspective to an early 2000s perspective, though admittedly society at large was real slow on that one.

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I was a bit put off by that episode where everyone thought Archer was crazy because he didn't want to condemn a ship of the bug people's offspring to death and then he apologized because the only reason he didn't was because the eggs used mind control goo on him.

Larger vehicles appeal to both older drivers and families. It’s simply easier to get a child seat and/or your bad knees and back having human body into a crossover than a car. Not every consumer preference comes from an impractical place but they can still push the industry in the same direction.

I hope whatever is behind this is hardening their hearts for the mountain of shit they’re sure to get from assholes over their version of Fable. They already got a taste of it when the usual dorks complained the main character wasn’t hot enough whenever that trailer landed.

Walked by a restaurant with a sign in the window saying “we cater!” and I sure hope they mean to my every whim.

I'm fairly confident the sports ban will lose, "parental rights" might be cloaked well enough to fool people though. I'd like to think the millionaire's tax is a slam dunk but we have an incredible amount of money and extremely whiny people with money so it's probably closer to a coin flip.

000

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Got my WA voter's pamphlet and it's the most odious set of initiatives I've ever seen; repealing the millionaire's tax, a "parental rights," thing and a trans sports ban. Whatever blue wave may be coming isn't going to feel as good if all three of these aren't shit canned as well.

Noticed this morning that I typed Backeooms which I imagine is more of a breakfast cereal situation than a creepy alternate dimension.

With respect, Lynchian and original are starting to feel antithetical to me as his work,Twin Peaks in particular, is one of the most recognizable references in games.

Nancy’s so vain she’s convinced that song is about her.

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I rather liked The Backeooms. I’m not the type of person who tries to get out ahead of where the story is going, but still, that movie was good at going places I wasn’t expecting.

Arby's is trying steak nuggets as a thing again and they don't work like chicken nugs because it's just cubed beef with no coating. Traditional breadings are right out so I respect them for not trying but I propose one last attempt: encasing 'em in pie crust.

Game I'm playing is leaving its service in 12 days. Can our hero beat this 30-40 RPG in that amount of time? No. No he cannot.

Whenever a Big Thing happens on the internet you'd think the ensuing argument would be pointless because consensus is impossible, but have you considered that people also trust each other less afterwards?

BensDecoy @bensdecoy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

When I think “QOL” improvements in games I don’t think infinite carry capacity or being able to fast forward battles, I think an indication of whether an NPC has more dialog or if they’re out of lines.

Can there be a mysterious hunk in a leather jacket lurking in the background? He could be a reformed villain or uneasy ally, I’m not picky.

Did a silly (but very fun) race track day with a rented Toyota GR86 where several fancier models like Porsches and a Ferrari and such also ran. Easily the loudest thing I heard that day was a Harley Davidson who wasn’t even at the track. Could've been miles away and still obnoxiously loud.
