I had a unexpected downtime earlier following a rough morning, so I finally checked out indie darling Megabonk. It’s Vampire Survivors but in 3D, so the One More Round is strong. I absolutely love these games whose entire progression systems are just unlocking new additional mechanics/options 🤩

There’s an interesting and sad commentary here. This was clearly conceived of as a fun marketing/PR stunt - packaging it like a 65” tv, etc. But at that price, in 2025, I think most people will just be buying it because they’re desperate for food. Ironic kitsch becomes a gross hyper capitalist joke.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

Didn’t they produce this and then it was purchased by Fox? I understand what folks are saying, but I don’t really think it’s apples to apples with actually producing material FOR them (I understand why Fox would be interested in buying/running it tho, we’re seeing it play out already)
A lot of actors in here making terrible choices but I have the most noise for Sean Astin who is the sitting SAG-AFTRA president and has a fiduciary duty to not fuck around with fascists

I read a review for this game (eurogamer?) that noted that using AI voice acting the way it does felt like it undercut the game’s story/theme of fighting robots after the AI apocalypse. I hesitate to talk about dissonant or discordant narrative experiences in games, but that’s a yikes.
I don’t want to be a Debbie downer but I DO love being the friend that’s too woke. ARC Raiders uses generative AI for its character voices, and this is stated on its steam page. I’m sure it’s a fun game, but please just give it a second thought for not hiring voice actors and using generative AI.

Just watched the new adaptation of Frankenstein. I really enjoyed it, though I’m a sucker for GDT’s vibe and aesthetic. I was super into pretty much all the performances? Jacob Elordi acted his face off without relying on his good looks. And Oscar Isaac was nearly nude? Literally only good things 🤣

Nearly time for a new Kamen Rider ZEZTZ! 🤩 I’ve been really enjoying this! Having legit and easy access each week is so rad. I hope whatever other tokusatsu hero show gets produced next season can do this type of thing too

Ugh. I’m having a really bad muscle day today. When I was a teen I was hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street, and a couple of times a year ever since my neck, back, and arm will all just lock up*, and ✨it’s happening today ✨

I caught a few bits of S2 episodes as a kid when my dad watched it. It was so mysterious and weird and funny. The movie horrified me as a teen. It was so unyielding and unusual and intense.
Then finally got to piece it all together as an adult via Netflix/DVD releases 🤩

I was lucky enough to watch #TwinPeaks in the order it came out but for many, the first two seasons were hard to come by so #FireWalkWithMe was their introduction.
Not until the show hit Netflix and released on DVD did it take off again.
How did you first find "Twin Peaks"?

If you have Maga in your life, don’t let them do this. Children were hurt, stand on that. Make them defend that. They were children, and no amount of “15 isn’t 5” semantics changes that.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

another manifestation of this is when you criticize the right and somebody tsk tsks "they say the same thing about the left," like, yeah, somebody is lying, are you interested in who? because the answer is easily discoverable
Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”

As someone that often laments the corporate purchase of that other family of VR devices, and because I’d love a standalone unit with robust local streaming options, Valve def has my cautious attention (even if in the modern economy I’ll need to scrimp and save to even hope for a preorder, lol)
