I'm absolutely loving Dispatch. Everything about this game just hits right with me. Please @adhocstudio.com put that soundtrack out on vinyl or somewhere soon.

Canada's housing crisis is a direct result of Mulroney and Chretien cutting housing funding at the federal level. Provinces and municipalities couldn't afford to build more so they just gave up and costs exploded over 30+ years.

Seconding all of the above. They're furry little demons but training consistency does wonders, even if it feels useless for the first few months as they tear apart your home.

Apparently the mods of r/DarkTide banned discussion of Hasan because weirdos kept flooding the comments with posts about it — in a friggin' 40k game sub. There's enough of this happening on Reddit that it's hard not to see shades of gamergate style brigading.

collar gate is the latest instance of a trumped-up non-issue blossoming into a large-scale psychosis event – and possibly the dumbest. it's also the modern internet doing exactly what it was engineered to do

To be honest, I wouldn’t be mentioning this if not for the fact that it’s a microcosm of how online platforms work today: Somebody makes an accusation based on evidence that’s spurious at best, big names with something to gain (viewership or the downfall of a perceived enemy) uncritically boost it, internet sleuths obsessively piece together supporting evidence by amassing context-free clips and ignoring everything that doesn’t match their intended conclusion, and all of the aforementioned parties spread performatively apoplectic videos across Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, and wherever else they can sucker in uninitiated normies.

Some version of this happens every week – every day, on a smaller scale – without fail. It accomplishes nothing aside from giving the disaffected masses a brief glimmer of what feels like purpose, but is actually a bloodsucking waste of their precious time on this dying planet. And of course, it provides platforms with sweet, sweet engagement numbers. As a result, platforms will probably never intervene to disrupt this corrosive dynamic, which has broken the general public’s ability to perceive anything resembling objective reality, even as society collapses around them and people like Piker attempt to identify the real reasons why (hint: they don't involve dog collars).

The internet has been like this at least since the Depp v. Heard trial, which wannabe sleuths similarly feasted on in 2022 while getting pretty much every important detail completely wrong. At least back then they were obsessing over something of consequence. Now they’ve taught viewers to regard every trumped-up non-issue they can surface with similar gravity.

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

One Battle After Another is ridiculously good. The cast is on point with their performances from top to bottom right down to the nuns and the lawyer with just a couple lines. It all feels so prescient from the opening. Just go see it in your local theatre. You won't regret it.

I ended up on swifty TikTok and the comments are absolutely killing me. "9th grade slam poetry", [a photo of boiled chicken], "album for cop wives", "If Taylor wrote this that's bad, if ChatGPT wrote this that's worse, and if Travis wrote this I'm actually kind of proud of him".

I've been burned out on superhero movies and shows for years now, but Peacemaker is really something special. Ridiculously funny, genuine, and heartfelt plus the cast are just great.

most of your favorite (still living) comedians are now assholes because the personality trait that drove them to success (desperately needing love from everyone) is emotional kryptonite once you are rich, successful, well known, and still fucking hate yourself.

Never played a game quite like Consume Me and I am totally obsessed. It's fun, smart, creative and surprising. And I love how it deals with a heavy topic with both humor and thoughtfulness. store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/...

It was a lot of fun and a genuinely good time. Plus, it looked fantastic. Getting the DOP behind Gladiator and Logan was just nuts for such a silly movie.
