they're calling it the most yonic Metroid game of all time

It's a much more straightforward mystery, and the "reveal" is mostly about untangling the sheer bizarreness of the details, and exploring character motivations.

Knives Out hinged on a genius misdirect (giving the audience an incomplete answer and switching perspective to the sympathetic "culprit" for a while). Glass Onion, much less so (a lot of gotcha edits that weren't rooted in character subjectivity). But WUDM doesn't attempt much misdirection at all

caught Wake Up Dead Man yesterday. It was decent!

I think with Knives Out, Rian Johnson set an extraordinarily high bar for himself that's incredibly hard to meet again, but I respect and enjoy watching him keep at it

This is why announcing the game of the year nominees in early November is stupid

there's a bunch of weirdos outside exiting an Alberta separatist rally and they're draped in these dumbass "Alberta Republic" flags

but I wasn't interested in taking identifiable photos of randos in the street, so instead here's Gravy:

kash patel asked someone to wtite anti-ICE messages on the bullets, and got the kind of extremely literal results you'd expect from a bumbling grocery store cake decorator

finally sat down and put Ol' Judgy to bed

confession: i haven't progressed much in Silksong since I got to Last Judge, who is kind of a pain and I haven't made myself sit down and grind out the fight yet

today i saw a cop car use its sirens to bully another car in front of it into driving through an intersection on a red light, so that the cop car could make a right turn without waiting. switched the siren back off right after

weeooo weeooo hambulance coming through

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?"

BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao"

1. "It, um, doesn't say anything."

2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe."

3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

BOOOOO

i disagree with this situation!!

Longscreen Aspect Ratio

I'm hoping to get that sorted out today! I've had to burn the midnight oil on work stuff, but hopefully I can take the time to get the plugin shipshape soon!

Did MSQ last night! Raw as hell moment for Wuk, and you crushed it in the booth!! 🪓🪓🪓

Good luck! I have to wait 'til I get home!

FITNESS APP: You're brimming with energy! This should be a great day for some physical activity!

ME: Ok [works out]

When your therapy appointment gets cancelled but you're fine with it because you booked back when you were in a bigger crisis that has since abated and now you don't really know what you would want to talk about

I think the idea was to have X-Y-B as up-forward-down punches respectively, which makes sense. but yeah B is a comfier jump

I can't believe you've done this

Critiquing the intricate storyline of DK Bananza: Pauline is a rock for like one level before being revealed as a human. What was the point of the rock stage of her lifecycle? She should either have been a rock for longer, or not at all. What is even going on in that writer's room smh

im just like, this is the only time in your baby's life that they will remain a baby. with each passing day they will be less of a baby than this! why would you not want to hold on to the real & true memory of these moments??

Eh, most of what goes up on GDQ streams is live footage or gameplay capture, neither of which has much risk of gen-AI. This was an unusual case where supplementary canned video was accepted from an outside source. Clearly the lesson is "vet outside video", but it should be a manageable thing to vet

this is also basically how Edgy Comedians operate

if you are using it as a "starting point", that means you're asking it questions you don't know the answer to.

if you don't know the answer, you won't know whether it's wrong unless you check it against another source.

if you have another source to check against, what did you need the AI for?

"actor does great job playing Doctor Who but is let down by the writing" remains the basic evergreen take the show. you can take it for granted, it's just kinda part of the gig

"here is my big plan for the party to win more votes: everyone not already voting for us should be branded as outcasts until they grovel and apologize"

one of my cats is twice as heavy as his sister, and it creates an unfortunate imbalance in the level of stress that their chest-cuddles cause
