pitched in a meeting this morning (because we're an entertainment website, not that it's the most important thing in the world, fuck off) that i really want to read whether or not movie companies are anticipating the impact of oil hitting $200 in how well their spring blockbusters will do

it is a weird thing to want to do, to raise your head above the sludge and be visible online. you have to be weird to do it! people are occasionally better at hiding this, but it's inherently strange! most people just watch movies and all they have to say is "yeah that was good"

tiktok pages often feel impersonal because there's a level of production and effort but there are occasions when the mask slips, and it's like, oh! these are posts! you're posting! you're a weird person who, for some reason, wants to perform online and are just a poster like the rest of us!

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

it isnt fair to make this comparison, there's so much here to argue over, so many details to take into consideration, but: how does any AAA game get away with charging around 3-4 times what slay the spire 2 does

slay the spire themed drag show where they don't even have to do a parody of the game's name

great "pottering about" game. often find myself meaning to do one thing but then i'm on the other end of the map and just tiding up or finding one of the items i need and going back to put it with other pieces. a game in a mess and the devs let you tidy up? and it's a hit, you say?

pokopia has that same thing DQ builders has where it's a game about the limitless fun of exploration and decoration, but only if you decorate it like this and explore specifically over here.
