re-reading Hiromu Arakawa’s Daemons of the Shadow Realm, i had not paid attention to what show they were watching in the background in this scene, that’s so fucking funny

So good

Sam Raimi watched Triangle of Sadness and thought, you know what, this would be even better with scream zooms

A picture of my husband, in front of a mirror that also shows me taking the picture.

Husband(s) reveal(s)

After seeing the written lyrics, I was reminded today that Alanis Morissette was not, in fact, mad about the cross-eyed bear that ya gave to me

A Super Mario chess set in a window, which has Mario and Luigi in King and Queen roles. Toad and Goomba are rooks, Birdo and Yoshi are knights, Peach and the little wizard dude are bishops, and Bowser and Bowser Jr are the other King and Queen.

This implies Mario and Luigi share the last name of Mario because they're married in a system of monarchy

Digital painting of a quiet grey sky, a featureless blur of shades of grey with long, smooth clouds creating ripples over the lower tier of the frame. A flock of black birds is flying in the distance.

We report in unmoving dampness: the clouds are low, an opaque mass that has absorbed the entirety of the sky. With the clouds closer to the top of our head, we move around the world a little more gingerly, like we have a duty not to disturb the repose of the sky lake.

This is such a good, underrated point.

Why did we let this go away?

I'm gonna throw The Studio at you, for laughs, and Scavengers Reign to cover all the other emotions.

In my day, we started a game with a somber voiceover saying stuff like, "We inherit the legacy ... of ghosts ... who haunt these ruins." www.youtube.com/watch?v=khIW...

Freespace 2 Freespace 2 includes the FRED2 editor available in the installation directory of the game

I see GOG added all-timer space sim Freespace 2 to its preservation program. I was so into this - I built mods and missions for it and posted on the Volition Bulletin Boards for years. If you yell "dive dive dive" at a Freespace 2 fan, you'll frighten them. www.gog.com/en/game/free...

You could fix several of Alien: Earth's problems by simply putting the compound underground, in some caves, instead of making it a sun-bleached White Lotus resort.

A screenshot of Cronos: The New Dawn, showing The Traveler (resembling an astronaut in a industrial, metal suit) looking over a cliff's edge toward a gray, cloudy sky and the ruins of a building.

Sometimes Cronos takes you outside of its gruesome, dilapidated halls and you think wow, this is so nice

Finally watched the 4K release of Drag Me to Hell, which looked really good. Totally forgot how funny it is when Christine, confronted by the devil made corporeal, reflexively deploys "But it was my manager!"

The muddy squelches of Baby Steps might be making the best use of the DualSense speaker to date.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

I also can't get enough of the traveler machines, like the save station or the pumping generator that runs the shutter doors.

Who chose the fonts for Android 16? Cocomelon?

The one bone not sheathed in Adamantium

Well, now I'm thinking about a Mystique game structured like Hitman ...

Thinking of simply saying, "I predate Myst," when anyone asks how old I am.

Where were you when the Bay Area Ball Wars started?

People of Note (great title btw) is coming from a really cool team. Can't wait to see more and, eventually, get mad at them for getting songs stuck in my head and making me feel things.

Ahhhh, it's happening! Congratulations.

There's fog outside? You mean mist clone?

They're saving that move for his appearance in Avengers, so one of them can observe and quip, "So... THAT just happened."

It's light entertainment in the sense that if floats away from you like a released balloon
