Discovered they do standalone Galaxy Miniatures so you can spice up your Celebrations tubs this Christmas.

If this is helpful to PRs pitching me a story/game/opportunity, I used that Top 9 games thing to show off a mix of the stuff I'm into and the kind of stuff I'm interested in from a coverage POV.

If I had a dollar for every time I got into an award-winning six season television drama series that introduces a fascist character in its fifth season I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

We're up to the season of Peaky Blinders where Cillian Murphy starts wearing these slutty little glasses

Achievement completion % data for The Bradwell Conspiracy (2019) shows that 3% more players prefer cats over dogs.

Final obligatory "I'm at Gamescom" post - schedule is packed but if you do see me there please say hi (and don't be offended if I have to shuffle off to my next appointment)

The cat looks like he's straight out of a Kubrick movie this morning.

I love it when a good ImSim comes together (I'm replaying Skin Deep)

no I'm not okay I just watched Charlie Chaplin's City Lights and fell in love with someone who was born 120 years ago

remember in 2024 when I picked up HL2 again for the first time in a decade and got my first achievement 10 years later almost to the exact minute

Since I rarely appear on camera the next best answer would be Toshiro Mifune, most handsome actor I ever laid eyes on.

I have the misprint which includes two blu rays being numbered '5', it's awful

Something I absolutely love, which remakes don't do enough, is when the dev adds the original game as a playable extra. (Last one not a remake, but still thought it was cool that Ubisoft put the original PoP inside The Sands of Time).

One of these is not like the other.

pretty sure this movie only exists because someone saw this guy and wanted to make a rocky remake without actually making a rocky remake

Don't talk too much about stuff going on in my personal life, but two films I watched last year ("SORRY, BABY" and "SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING") really felt like they were tailor-made for my brain in the exact moment I saw them. Two really healing and freeing experiences, which I'm grateful for.

Yeah for me that's the best part of the app: discoverability. Filling out these lists has been so much fun and exposed me to so many films and filmmakers I'd have never otherwise heard of. I should export my watchlist to work on if LB gets bought out.

Not that I'm not excited to see more of Dylan in Control Resonant, but designing Jesse like *this* and not making her playable should be some kind of crime.

truly one of the most original Letterboxd reviews I've ever seen

a review for toy story 5 on letterboxd which reads "woody will return in avengers: doomsday"
