The M. Bison theory of parenting is my greatest contribution to discourse on the pod since… wait, I’m getting this in just now, ODO FUCKED?

I did a quick check on my letterboxd to see how many movies this year and 21?!? That doesn't seem right but I guess so.

This really has been a good movie year.

My most American trait is if I’m making a character for a game set post-1850, I’ll spend way too much time thinking about what fun they have.

Looking at you, VtM

DIE is my favorite comic...ever? We covered it on Babylon Podject, and I'm frothing at the thought of getting to live in this weird fucked up little game more.

"The Dominion pops open a fresh Jeffrey Coombs when the situation calls for it" is the peak of my BabPod summary writing, I'm going to retire now.

3025 4SW Mechs are designed to be part of a combined arms design and have stuff like anti-infantry arms on them, but not many people play with thoset hings, so it just means you have mechs that are incredibly un-fun to play because they have shit like rear-facing small lasers.

3025 Introtech is in fact a pretty terrible and unfun era to play in.

Jon what faction do you play

Jon what do you think of primaris marines

Jon how many books of the Horus Heresy series has Claudio forced you to read

Is...is Jon doing the sign of the Aquila?

DID CLAUDIO TEACH HIM THIS

Update from Prestige Wrestling about the show:

As someone who read one of the books in my college "Will read anything" phases, this is so fucking funny

"If Louis Blanc blew a tire, he would first consider organizing a revolutionary vanguard before looking for the nearest repair shop."

Oh, the Russian Revolution season of Revolutions is already cooking

That feeling when you have to spend your afternoon re-imaging and updating computers so you bang out on a word doc for a bit with an updated backstory

She's gonna have two speeds: Stealth and Shotgun.

Honestly, it's one of those "Yeah, if I'd known what that clan was when I originally made her, it would've fit." But now I just get to play a different (more vicious/murdery?) version.

"What if a cool investigative journalist got knocked over the head and turned into a foot soldier in the Sect Wars - And was pretty fucking good at it"

Also, I hadn't played the system ever before when I first made her! And now I know a few more things so...whooo, a more competent version has been summoned.

She's sorta this "unfinished story" in the sense that I gave her a backstory to sorta meld in with a plot that I was joining halfway in, and she ended up dying in a manner that was narratively satisfying but left me wanting to do more with her. And now I get to take a spin at her origin!

I'm likely getting to do a fresh iteration of a character I've always wanted to replay and re-digging up 2 years ago Me's playlists and image inspos are such a delight.

"WWE cancels post-PPV press conferences ahead of Summerslam" oh huh wonder why

startplaying is calling to me... (It's the urge to knock out another VtM character)

Triple H does his water spit at the White House

Stop watching WWE

I gotta say, we need more fucking good comedies out there, because getting to laugh my ass off with a bunch of people in a movie theater was seriously something I needed after this week.

Okay @jenkatwrites.bsky.social you need to post the Cody part of your Naked Gun Letterboxd review because the people need to hear the truth

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

I think nowadays it feels like everyone has to be a wacky band of ragtag misfits who become a found family. That’s not always a bad thing. I’ve enjoyed that trope and even used it myself. But there *are* other human social arrangements which require cooperation.

So in 2007, when Iron Man came out, one of my best friends couldn’t see it opening night. So after seeing the post-credits scene, I bought him a ticket just so I could see his reaction to Samuel L. Jackson saying the word “Avengers”

He had to spend half an hour walking to blow off all his energy.

All of the Sisko men.

Riker would probably be the best actual guest, though he'd be crying 2/3s in.

The fuck?

Great news for hiding my Football Manager/Paradox Interactive addictions
