i got out resident evil 45 minutes ago and the thought buzzing in my head is: why the FUCK hasn’t a good halo movie* been made, it would be so easy *there is no way to make a good halo TV show and i will not elaborate at this hour

maybe this is corny but it is nice when a couple times a month i see our mayor making a big deal out of taking steps to make things more livable for our neighbors in this big, glorious, horribly expensive city

if the capabilities of this model were only half as bad as what these researchers found it’d still be cause to go delete all personal data off of meta’s platform. pairing a chatbot interface with the hyperinvasive data collection meta does and then surfacing that tool to the *public* is indefensible

pretty sure when swan boy heard about what went down at hooters he was also thinking about that scene in robocop. that would explain his uncertainty here, and who could blame him

i think these remarks from the director are valid but it *is* funny to read this when just last night i was talking about how much the game still does this—albeit pretty tastefully and in a diegetic manner. there’s actual yellow arrows and tape everywhere!

yup that sure is 9 games. some of these obviously rank as favorites too, but my selection criteria for this list is “the games i’d most likely say ‘we should do it like [game] did’ when working on a game project myself” honorary mention to pac-man

a “my 9 games” list with Lego Island, Outer Wilds, Super Mario World, Golden Sun, Half-Life, Max Payne, Halo, Super Metroid, and Tetris DS

The Knicks are such a weird cultural thing because the players have absolutely perfect vibes, the fans are amazing, the celebs, all of that is so fun and pure and great and then they are owned by one of the worlds worst human beings who uses the building as a straight up evil lair

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

rotating an idea that halo is the defining media franchise of the 21st century. i look at how its been mismanaged for 20 years, no one working on it has a job, its games don't even sell anymore but. they cant let it die. the IP must continue. everything becomes halo on a long enough timeline

i have now tried out the steam frame and it is absolutely nutty that alyx can run natively. yeah it’s night and day compared to streaming from a PC to the headset—that looks GREAT—but it is still the same underlying experience. makes it more frustrating that so many later VR games haven’t come close

One way to support us while the stream is suspended is to nominate us for the Streamer Awards! Just picture JF at an awards show with a bunch of unbelievably annoying Twitch and Kick influencers. We simply must make it happen.

"Pinkerton is cringe." That's why it's good!! That and the impeccable songwriting and tortured performance and genre-defining guitars.
