due to an inexplicable quirk of physics, space fighters cannot use missiles and must use cannons, vindicating, at long last, that weird school of air force guys who have been wrong for the past 40 years

Noah Gervais' long video on Pillars 1, 2 and Avowed is extremely good but I have a deep, DEEP disagreement with him

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

why did Don Bluth never make a movie about Mrs. Brisby getting laid like the perfect lady she is? was he stupid? did animators in the 1980s lack my vision?

"My character must follow my Ramadan strictures while I play it" is an *excellent* idea for a Muslim lets player challenge to do on youtube

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast?
The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

many people's reflexive dislike for most longrunning series' endings, regardless of those endings' actual level of quality, is a manifestation of Man's Fear of the Void Beyond Death and distaste for actively contemplating nonexistence.

I wasn't in a movie theater, but it was The 13th Warrior. I said: "The 13th Warrior is an infamous 1990s flop and having watched it, it should have made even less money."
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Rise of Skywalker. I felt myself slowly dissolving in my seat the entire time. Genuinely the most accidentally upsetting film I’ve ever seen

There's this weirdly frustrating cycle in discussing fantasy slop which goes like this
Me: "You'd think awareness of a tangible, provable afterlife would alter how people, societies, cultures act."
Fantasy Fan: "Well, here's [some justification for why it'd be the same as Earth]"

It's kinda funny to me that one of the ways to show that you're not using AI is to do a timelapse of your art-drawing, and...like, people did that ALL THE TIME before AI, and I think that's neat! It's neat seeing people work!

Something I really love about Avowed that they've either changed or made clear, but upping difficulties adds to your XP modifier, so you level faster in exchange for the game being much harder, which feels very Correct and Proper, to me
