Guess it's time for a proper intro post with new followers...

I'm Carli (she/they) and I'm three aliens stacked on top of each other 👽 I've also been an editor, journalist, and content manager for like 12 years.

I have two cats, post about video games, movies, and journalism and have brain worms 🪱

I'd be curious. Logitech has one that's dogshit

I feel like a lot of people like Tron for the soundtrack, and you clearly don't need to go to the movies to experience it

Considering the trailers and how he's emulating a famous pedophile, I don't think that'll be the case but you never know.

This is Not Your House: I played this for 15 minutes. Got a few of the endings, but each branch is too short, and it doesn't do much of anything with its premise.

CloverPit: I have a lot of questions about whether we should keep on the gambling roguelike trend, but at least this one has a fun, grimy identity, even if the slot machine is still drawing on the part of your brain that likes immediate gratification.

Dragula Titans 2: This season's going to be a hot mess. Nobody's going to be placed fairly and everybody's going to be fighting. 10/10

Silent Hill f: I'm so fascinated by the story, and I love that so many games are giving you legitimate reasons to do NG+. Combat is horrendous, but it's Silent Hill and combat is always kind of horrendous.

Dangerous Animals: Jai Courtney is having an amazing time, and it's generally a fun movie. But he looked too much like the guy who assaulted me so I was not having so much fun.

28 Years Later: Movies are so fucking back. The last two minutes took me so out, but the more I think about it, the more I love how big of a swing it is and how it sets up the next one.

It's October and this is my "experiencing horror things" thread because I don't have time to do 31 for 31 and I have too many other hobbies 🧵

Thanks for giving those of us women who always felt way more comfortable wearing more menswear inspired or androgynous looks than dresses an all-time style muse. RIP Diane Keaton.

For me, it was about being able to throw myself at people instead of having to learn the intricacies and calculations of handling the puck/ball. I know that's a great simplification but it made sense

HIp hop and jazz but I also did ballet and tap.

Sort of similar to you, I played intramural broomball (aka ice hockey without the skates and a big ball instead of a puck) as defense lol
