Teaser for Avengers Armageddon. It is mostly red with a superhero flying above rubble blocked out in a darker red. The words "With Great Power" cut through that dark red with the bright red. And there is a glowing white star on their chest. It's striking and powerful.

The cover for avengers Armageddon #1. It features Red Hulk prominently as well as Captain Marvel, Sue Storm, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Vision, Wolverine, and Captain America (Sam Wilson). It's in a very pencil-y art style and the graphic design looks like an extremely basic marvel cover.

Games bsky is mad about Bluepoint (rightly)

I'm wondering what the fuck is going on over a Marvel that the teaser for their next big thing (left) has so much juice that is COMPLETELY missing from the actual thing (right)

What does it look like to tell a story about prejudice but divorced from real-world analogues? What does it mean to tie concepts of hunger and desire together inexorably? Just how much money is cow bathwater going for these days?

The credits of Persona 4 Golden

The credits of Persona 4 Golden

I've done it.

Easily my least favorite of the modern Persona games, but that's still better than 90% of video games I play.

I have *many* thoughts, and a video will happen. But for now I'm just enjoying the vibes of this credits sequence.

I don't think it's terminally online to be turned off by the surface level parts of something. I respect Isaac and this game but I will never play them.

Inspired by @kylelabriola.bsky.social and @bloodgodpod.bsky.social for this one

DQ7R isn't too easy for me. Instead, it's the first one of these that I've ever enjoyed.

The tech bro speeding up movies comment kind of lumped us all in a basket unfairly.

The solution to this conflict of desires is always good options and preservation.

I'm personally really loving this remake. I'll get back to the episode but I had to take a break.

Idk. I love this show and I really respect the work and opinions of everyone on it, but this moment made me turn off the episode.

Despite the "not to gatekeep" comment (from @victorehunter.bsky.social?) there was really no room in that conversation for people who genuinely appreciate less friction

Games media lately is so obsessed with gatekeepy-ass opinions about the term "quality of life" and the features it represents.

Options. Options. Options. That's always the solution.

As for me? I'll take my games with less friction, please.

We've already talked about this a lot, but yep. It's a thing I've had to train myself out of.

Thanks. I knew about the Kagawa part for sure.

I just read the review linked within this story and...yikes. Seems like even the mechanics are rough.

I feel like all I heard before this game was announced was "man Y3 needs updating."

Is it just that they did too much?

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

Love how absolutely boring this update is. Exactly the kind of b&r I like.

I cannot enter my name. I only get names similar to mine that begin with other words. Simple "matt.bsky.social" does not appear in the list, and if I hit enter, it chooses the first name in the list.

Watching people on this app repost the misinformation about the little boy in the bad bunny performance was wild. From jump there was just "Oh that looks like Liam!" with no other info, and he was much older.

The swiftie-style "deduction" from people who can't even Google translate "conejo" 🫠
