If it’s shit then why write it as shyt? Is this like an β€œunalive” thing

AMERICANS: I am watching I Love LA, and one of the characters just said β€œoh she’s fine shyt” which I believe is a young person term for attractive. But they said it as β€œfine shit,” and I always read that term as β€œfine shite” which admittedly I thought was odd but modern lingo is odd. What is it?

It’s pretty funny that this is almost the exact same amount of money Netflix paid for Warner Bros and HBO and CNN, all that for this

It's one of many things about Dread where I felt like I was playing a different game to everyone. Control issues aside, whenever I read something about 'that great Metroid style' I just can't comprehend what that is. Take literal Samus out of it a screenshot and I couldn't pick it out of a lineup.

Conversations I have always found alien (hehehe) about Metroid are the ones in praise of its world and style. Great 16-bit soundtracks aside I think it is some of the most unremarkable sci-fi worlds and style I've ever seen from a major publisher.

The original Red Dead Redemption, one of the greatest games of all time, was just released on iOS and Android. Published by Netflix, entirely un-buyable.

Way too early to tell what they're going to do with these gaming studios; maybe they just want to get a foot in the console/Steam space and it'll be business as usual but it doesn't seem out of the realm of the possibility that the next Rocksteady game is something you need Netflix to play.

When Into The Breach was the hot indie game and everyone said 'man this would be great on phones' - Netflix published it on phones. But it was subscription only, which it remains to this day. Nine years later, playing it on mobile is exclusively locked to Netflix members.

Netflix has ushured some great games onto mobile, a somewhat underrated aspect of their business. One of the last names in mobile gaming bringing really acclaimed games of various sizes onto their platform. But the big BUT here is that they do not sell them. It is subscription or bust.

It's Toy Show night so I can't wait for American blueskyers to get mad at us because there's someone in the administration called Glenn ToyShow and he's the deputy secretary of the department of crushing orphans or something.

Netflix as the lesser of two evils versus the Ellisons as the potential WBD buyers might distract from what is still an insanely miserable bit of corporate consolidation. A slophouse run by people with some of the most depressing outlooks on the future of film and TV.
