Going by the screenshot/star, maybe they meant The Happening.

I don't know. I liked the latest Ultimate Spider-Man but I also liked that it ended. Felt nice to just finish something and dust my hands of it, and I didn't think that particular version of Peter was that sustainable.

Today I lamented to my 5-year-old that I had to call an electrician to finish my fan installation because I wasn't 100 percent positive about our wiring situation. He said "You should've taken a note about the old wiring before putting in the new fan" and I did one of those old comic strip pratfalls

Very telling that this was not controversial here but brought about swarms of AI dipshits on X, the everything app.

It's wild how much of the pro-genAI discourse comes from people who just fundamentally don't *get* art. They think every aspect of it boils down to the final 'product.' They're incapable of understanding that what we hear, watch, and read are the process, not the outcome.

I've been a parent for almost 6 years and I can say with confidence that it's insanely easy. You just have to have unfathomable, heretofore unseen god-tier levels of patience.

Lots of games to choose from as cover stories in 2026, and Onimusha is for sure a great one. But as someone who worked in magazines for a long time I can feel the pain buried within these dueling cover choices

It's okay to hop on a trend but I draw the line at sharing a graphic that pluralizes anime as "animes." I'm also too lazy. Cartoons are cool.

I'm gonna see the new movie tomorrow and am very excited but for my money this spine alignment is the scariest thing the Resident Evil series has ever done

Haha okay, yeah, I get it even more. I can't get into Bethesda's stuff in general.

Joseph Luster @subhumanzoids.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

What kind of open-world games? I feel this about stuff like survival games. I also think games like Ghost of Yotei (only using this example because it's literally the last game I played) don't ask "what do you want to do?" They ask "Which story would you like to experience next?"

I started a new playthrough of Donkey Kong Bananza with our five-year-old this weekend and, man, that is still hands-down the best Switch 2 game yet.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Harry Potter sucks incredibly hard and has *always* sucked and your life would be better served if you attached yourself to a decades-old property like Food Fighters or Barnyard Commandos.

The windup of the guitar solo in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" is heavily telegraphed, making it easy to parry.

I like how they want people to invest but have been around for 16 years and have two (2) notable hits that aren't previously existing licenses.

15 days until the release of my next book, one that deals with a show that gave Batman's villains some of their most emotionally effective stories in history. So, I gotta know: Which BTAS villain do you relate to the most?

I think what we're missing from most modern FX-heavy movies is the "how did they do that?" factor. Watching INNERSPACE (1987) and constantly wowed by the effects, but if it were made today I wouldn't need to ask that question.

Well, it seemed to good to be true. I’m seeing some people claim that this company also employs a few humans, but either way, the quality of work I’ve seen definitely devalues professional localization. Guess I’m back to prioritizing my original to-be-read pile. What a shame!

If you write a headline that doesn't mention the subject of your story in any way whatsoever, you're an enemy. Unless you're under pressure from your editor to do so, I guess. Then they're the enemy. Enemies all around.

If there are any unwanted psychological effects from getting up at 5am and watching Dear Brother for two hours every day I'll report on them soon.

Maybe they something like it and I missed it, but @discotekmedia.bsky.social needs a "Danger Meter" for releases that are close to going out of print so I can prioritize those.

Adventures of Elliot is fine but, while I know there's a lot of testing involved in game development, issues like the overly-chatty companion really make me question whether or not they actually play their games before shipping them.
