Did not expect Coyote vs. Acme to be a film about the worthwhile pursuit of pushing back against big corporations even if you sometimes fail in the process, but it ruled!

I've followed id Software my whole life from Wolf 3d to The Dark Ages. They were foundational to modern gaming and id Tech has been an incredible engine both as a visual showcase and optimization. To see this happening to such a historic studio is just gut wrenching.

Finally checked out this great arcade spot, Push Start Play. They have 400+ cabinets, 80+ pinball tables, and most importantly a well maintained Crazy Taxi sit down cab. Can't wait to come back!

Crazy Taxi sit down arcade cabinet in great condition.

Been feeling down this week and new action movie The Furious really was the perfect cathartic experience. Great choreography and fights. The villians deserve every bit of what they get. The final act of fights is really worth watching. Incredible stuff.

AI use in background assets is incredibly disappointing to hear. Steam disclaimers are worthless if the actual information is hidden away in an interview. Thankful for the reporting on this. Hopefully Sega recongizes the backlash and corrects it, but for now this kills my interest in the game.

Recently fulfilled a long time dream. My Dad introduced me to lots of pinball growing up, but the main one was Pokemon Pinball on GBC. We both kept playing it over the years until he passed from cholangiocarcinoma a few years ago. I can't think of a better first table to own than Pokemon Pinball.

Really enjoyed Hokum. Well written characters that can sus out a situation. The mystery, setting, and quasi puzzles all felt straight out of Silent Hill. Hoping this is the start of a great horror month with Obsession, Passenger, and Backrooms coming up.

Re-signaling this because the disclaimer understandably drowned out everything else: For Segagaga, the team did put out their tools alongside the patch, so if you have the means and will to try your hand at a wholly organic English patch of the game, here you go: github.com/ExxistanceDC...

This is such a gut punch. First full english translation of Segagaga and it's AI based. At least they are providing the tools for others to do better.

Really appreciate this style of end of year list. I'd like to think I'm pretty in tune with most releases, but this shows how broad the medium is. Just played Many Nights a Whisper and it's such a gem. Succinct, impactful, and my time learning speedrun glitch setups in other games paid off here.

Rental Family is a beautiful look at mental health and interpersonal relations in Japan, but Brendan Fraser playing All Japan Pro Wrestling on a Dreamcast in 2025 sealed it as my favorite movie so far this year.

That feeling when years of horror games have made you too hard boiled to be scared by haunted house actors so you just encourage them to scare the people in front of you and relish in some second hand screams.

Just got out of theater from Good Boy and the range of emotion seemingly coming out of this dog is unreal. The low camera angles and obscured human faces just work so well to center you in Indy's perspective. Such a unique watch!

Explain your username: It's not actually "Chuckles". It's a combo of Chuck and Les named for my uncle and dad. Everyone read it as Chuckles and it fit so I just rolled with it. 825 was my BSA troop. Scouts gets a deserved bad rap, but that troop was wild. Great times with the nerds/hellraisers.

It's both hilarious and scary how accurately Eddington portrays 2020 culture. It's so distinct yet we haven't moved past it. Like trying to satirize a documentary that's still ongoing. Any other timeline and this movie would be surrealist. Worthwhile thriller if you can handle that.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

Tristan Kern de Gonzales

As someone who surfed with his dad growing up, The Surfer hit harder than I expected. Fairly reflective of the worst parts of the culture. At the same time, this is another near Kafkaesque film as Nic Cage slowly goes delirious in an Australian beach parking lot. Solid watch!
