Itโ€™s a really fun read, my brother got it for me for my birthday one year ago

Got to meet him once - he was promoting an Evil Dead game 24 or so years ago - and he was incredibly nice to deeply starstruck me.

Evil Dead II is gospel for my brother and me, Bruce is a legend and I wish him health and happiness.

a hundred dollar video game? yeah, right So, a while back, I saw someone had the bright idea to say that a $100 video game was where games were headed. As someone who has done aโ€ฆ

New article time!!!

Ever wonder why a bunch of weirdoes keep telling us that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most important event in history and video game prices have to go up?

Well, here's why these weirdoes are completely out of touch with reality!

CICADAMATA" on Steam + follow the white rabbit + hop, skip, and jump to become one with joyeuse, until you are no longer you +

Goddamn, Cicadamata has only been in development for nine months, according to the dev.

Also yeah, it's riffing on Marathon, both classic and new.

The Dark Knight Returns turned 40 this month, and I can think of few other superhero comics that have had such a profound and long lasting impact on the comic book industry. Every vision of Batman has either intentionally diverted from it, replicated it, or been forced to reckon with it.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is top notch. The Mรผtter Museum is fascinating if youโ€™re into pre-20th century medicine or weird stuff in jars.

Neither of the famous cheesesteak places is that great but itโ€™s a great city for a sandwich, grab a hoagie from somewhere local.

Running, by Fat Dog from the album WOOF.

I discovered a really obnoxious band, like a hybrid of meat beat manifesto and early vnv nation with some Mr bungle mixed in. Exactly what I need right now. Please enjoy.

Seeing some "fuck Kansas" replies/QTs and while I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment behind the statement, I think a better response would be "fuck, we need to help the people of Kansas"

If anyone knows a good way to do that, please put it in the comments and I will amplify

You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety

First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

This is an enormous room, in the center of which are four wooden posts delineating a rectangular area, above which is what appears to be a wooden roof. In fact, all objects in this room appear to be abnormally large. To the east is a passageway.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

If something is clearly shit, I just don't engage. If something starts to prove to be shit, I disengage and find something better to do with my time.

When the going gets tough, the imitation tough attack a marginalized ethnic group with next to no ability to defend themselves.
