A great narrative trope is when an unassuming individual suddenly has a great duty thrust upon them, watching them rise to an occasion they never asked for. Ed Sheeran is a great example of the opposite of that. Ed Sheeran is a reverse-Frodo

The thing about Kingdom Hearts is that the whole thing is saved by how fun the gameplay is, so a tv show does NOT seem like the move lmao but hey, if it’s good, I’ll watch it. Maybe they’ll try and get Shimomura on it.

Auto-blocking anyone that posts AI images—whether it’s political messages I agree with, cute pets, or just memes—is the only way forward.

Saw that new movie based on Hades and Hades 2 characters. I liked the original voices better but the movie was excellent! Christopher Nolan did a great job.

I straight up will not watch Netflix shows anymore unless they come to a planned finale, which has all but stopped happening for new shows. So definitely #2 for me.

Besides just being weird as hell, hating on trans people also tells others that you're a mark. A rube. A person that will hate whomever they're told to hate. A bootlicker. A snake to be tread on etc. It's loser shit

There are *very* few games I’m willing to spend $80 usd on. Soulsbornes and FF7R3 might be about it.

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

I’d much prefer we avoid incentivizing staring at the minimap in the year 2026, but this is a cool idea at least.

FF7R3 looks fantastic, as expected. I'm a bit unsure about the job system (that's what materia was for?) but considering that FF7R2 has imo the best action rpg gameplay currently available, I'm sure it will win me over--hopefully we can toggle the actual costumes though

KH’s plot is an absolute mess that should not be taken seriously by an adult, but it has some of the most fun gameplay in an RPG to balance it out.

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

Putting aside his even worse traits for a moment, Donald Trump really may be the single dumbest person elected into a position of real power in all of human history. Like, sure, some king’s heir has probably been dumber, but people chose this guy *on purpose*

“Cozy” for me is replaying the original Final Fantasy VII for the 12th or 13th time, something I used to do annually. I don’t personally think it needs to mean “low stress housework game that does not punish you for any decisions” but I understand the need for labels.
