To be fair to them they've done the smart thing and are clearly leaning MUCH more into pitching Steam Machine as a games console than the first time around. Sure it's technically still a hybrid thing but, no one's gonna load Windows onto it except for the sake of YouTube clickbait, are they?

I'm sceptical about Steam Machine and Steam Controller 2.0 catching on; they were both thoroughly DOA the first time around... but IF they take off, I think Valve could legitimately replace Microsoft in the console space, just like how Xbox swooped in as soon as Sega called it quits on consoles.

That's like going to the Lovre, pointing a light at the shadows on the mona lisa and going 'AH HA! Da Vinci ain't SHIT!'

Few people huff copium harder than the ones that try to convince themselves that non-metalic metal looks bad, actually.
'Ooh the light doesn't make sense when you turn the model' no you just imagine that the light source is turning WITH the model you dolt.

I'm not going to bang on for ages about the Mario Galaxy movie, it's just boilerplate babysitting fodder after all, BUT, it was really weird that half the trailer was dedicated to a single skit and didn't remotely try to explain the premise of the movie.

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.

Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App

was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"

Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

Almost every defence of GenAI is 'It's fine! Your new job will be to micromanage a simpleton!'

... Or you could just get a voice actor...

Of course it'll make a ton of money but, is anyone really that fussed about Toy Story 5? Is anyone going 'YES! They made another one! And this one's about ipads!'

Wasn't keen on the first one, but the key to fixing my problems with it wasn't adding Borderlands humour.

Feels like The Outer Worlds 2 hasn't made much of an impact; I didn't hear anyone talk about it.
Honestly making a Fallout: New Vegas successor with strictly no mod support is just nuts.

There's not much nice to say about the Jurassic World movies, but you know what? I don't get all the hate for the Jimmy Fallon cameo. Like, it's a shitty theme park entry video, it makes perfect sense that they'd get a shitty celebrity to do a shitty skit.

Whenever there's a fourth entry in a series with 'war' in the title it's always profoundly disappointing when they don't replace the word with the number.

God of Four
Dawn of Four
All missed opportunities.

Kirby conceptually really missed me, I don't get it at all. Every time I see or play one it's like, 'ah, it's less good Mario'

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

My theory about Avatar 3 is that the leader of the new Navi tribe they encounter will have a smoking hot semi-naked princess daughter who will gradually fall in love with the male lead. I know that'd be a MASSIVE departure for Avatar conceptually but, I think Jimmy might just do it.

'Maybe the real Frankenstein was the creatures we made along the way' *credits, Down with the Sickness plays*

Maybe it's hopelessly nitpicky of me but, I was bothered by how inconsistent the monster's invincibility was. One scene it takes him hours to resurrect after getting shot three times, a few scenes later he shrugs off a stick of dynamite an inch from his face.

Solo, Caravan of Courage and The Clone Wars.

1594. Two peasants congregate outside the Globe Theatre. One points to it and asks "do you wanna see the new Shakespeare?" The other says "nah...too tired to pay attention. Need something lighter." The two watch a nearby puppet show entitled "Shakespeare!!! Funny Falstaff Clips."

A dream project of mine is to get the new Marneus Calgar, or perhaps now this new Titus model, de-Ultramarine him, replace those parts with Imperial Fist iconography and gaslight people that that's how he canonically looks.

You paint AN Ultramarine when it's your first model and you don't know what you're doing, then you never think about them again. If you collect Ultras after that you're actually a freak. A real genuine freak.
...
Nah you're okay we have fun here don't we.

See I don't actually mind the glut of Space Marine releases THAT much. Sure there's almost certainly too many but, they're very satisfying sculpts to paint and there's always something new I can build for my Imperial Fists. What bothers me is it's constantly Ultramarines specifically.
