my most contrarian take might be graphics over gameplay

if it doesn't look incredible why did we spin up 36 compute units???

pixel art??? I'll just read a book, thanks

i like exploring red dead redemption 2, but there's stuff in that world and it looks good

graphics >>> gameplay

it's fine not liking a game, but it got such universal praise I felt like I was missing out!!!

realizing that the thing that people love about it (exploration for exploration's sake!!) helped me understand the game's just not for me

had a clarifying moment while reading someone's highly upvoted description of what they love about Breath of The Wild as I suddenly realized: oh, that sounds awful

I'm finally free from the feeling I'm missing something in that boring, empty game

running a podcast is weird, most of the time i don't hear from listeners, then something happens like our host has an outage and our episodes from 2011 to 2016 go offline and I get several DMs about it and asking when it will be fixed (hopefully soon!)

A genre show returns from a years-long break and canon changes as we watch the first ep of DC's Peacemaker season two. @ivanhernandez.bsky.social and @redscott.com talk alternate Earths, team try-outs, big naked parties, and definitive nicknames. #peacemaker boarsgoreandswords.com/2025/10/02/p...

also it feels like only short people attend theater. How am I barely over the average male height yet towering over the room???

Red Scott @redscott.com · 7d

I don’t need a recliner! But I’m 5’11” I shouldn’t have to check reviews to verify my knees will fit

Red Scott @redscott.com · 7d

I get more out of seeing movies (in a packed theater) than I do out of live theater, and I think it just comes down to theaters not giving a shit about comfort

four pictures of Jim Downey, supposedly one human being with a constant human skin

Red Scott @redscott.com · 7d

I'd say Jim Downey is *unrecognizable* in One Battle After Another, but the truth is every image of Jim Downey looks nothing like every other image of Jim Downey. THE MAN'S A SHAPESHIFTER

a meme of Jim Downey from an interview on Conan where he refers to Jeff Epstein as "The Financier?" with the text "Jim Downey? The Podcaster??"

oh my god

Infiniti uses her middle name as her surname. She was named after the Batman Forever (1995) character Chase Meridian, played by Nicole Kidman, and Buzz Lightyear's line "To infinity
and beyond" from Toy Story (1995).

after reading his article and the dialogue with Coates, I’m convinced if faced with the Trolley Problem Ezra Klein would condemn railroad switches

That’s how I beat it with gauntlet (run 70 or so)

games peaked with Ms. Pac-Man

Red Scott @redscott.com · 11d

tbf I was enjoying Hades until someone told me how bad I am, maybe the lesson is to never admit to gaming under any circumstances

Red Scott @redscott.com · 11d

funnily, I don't sympathize with the Silksong people because they're like "most games are beatable but this one is too hard" when they're wrong, all games are unbeatable

Portal was good. The rest of video games are just digital scourges
