I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

“I need compelling worldbuilding and a hard magic system to make my fantasy world” NO YOU DON’T! You need a plot outline and interesting characters based on insecurities or fetishes don’t get distracted!

I don’t have to tell you whether animal crackers are alive in the Toy Story universe. If you look in your heart you already know the horrific truth

We have such sights to show you, Charlie Brown.
You’re not wrong, Charlie Brown, you’re just an asshole.
I find your lack of faith disturbing, Charlie Brown.

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

A big chunk of Nier Automata's story was told exclusively in a limited run Japanese stage play.
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

I feel like a lot of us in the comedy world failed the world at large when we stayed silent despite knowing all about Cosby and Louis so let me say right now that Steve Martin has eaten one banjo a year for the last 25 years

oh, now I get it. you know, people accuse me of missing out on stuff because I have a lot of Big Important Names muted on here, but mostly I still hear all the important news, just a couple hours later and in extremely derived esoteric joke format. recommend 👍

Puzzle game where you play as a party of explorers lost and trapped in the arctic. You're just about to start eating one another, but everyone has weird dietary preferences so you must carefully arrange the cannibalism order of operations.
