Got nothing to do with me personally but that $30 Gamepass is a test. They gonna see what it does number wise. They want to see how close they are to that inevitable $80-$100 price tag for games..

The world is greedy.

As asked on the latest episode of Too Tall Boyz, "Dear Mama," what's scarier, smiling Batman or silent Spider-Man?

Either way, this is a long day for whoever runs into them.

Cathy you do not have enough positive cache to think we're taking your word over NAPHEESA COLLIER.

Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24.bsky.social · 5d

Cathy Engelbert on Napheesa Collier's comments:

There's a lot of inaccuracy out there through social media and all this reporting...I'm a human too, I have a family, I have two kids who are devastated by these comments"

*Handling non-negotiables in relationships

*Saudi Arabia buying in to entertainment: why?

*Rather sleep in a burrito or between French Toast

*Scarier: Smiling Batman or Silent Spider-Man?

*...oh and addressing the narcissist in my life.

The funniest thing about people who complain about wokeness in games--(also a reminder that "We The People" types hijacked that phrase and have yet to use it correctly once)--

Ask them their favorite game and I promise you they missed the message which would actually fall under the term

I'm not a loser so I like games because they are fun and I don't throw tantrum if the characters are different from me but a lot of my favorite games involve women leads/protagonists, so I won't be expecting to get a EA game anytime soon for that because you know what this is about

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 9d

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

Disney wants me to believe that after convos with Jimmy, they are bringing the show back, not the fact that they had a wave of subscription cancelations. They gotta try harder to earn my stupidity

Also shout out @awkwardcomma.bsky.social and @derekbgayle.bsky.social --when I was on the pod and hearing the kind words about SCC, I knew I had to include it at the beginning for our last episode. Really hope you guys don't mind but coming from yall, it meant a lot!

Going through a good chunk of one of my favorite artists of all time was one thing, being able to chat with him, have him read some of my books...all things 19 year old me wouldn't have guessed when he first discovered him.

It's not goodbye, it's a see ya later. Who knows...we'll be around.

Episode 100 of StarCHaser Central. By far my most fun podcast I've ever done. And it was important to me and Mike to preserve that feeling which is why this is also our final episode. The amount of things we accomplished with this podcast--ill never forget.

You gotta know when to ride off into the sunset and even more important, being content with the decision and walking away

Scooby-Doo WAY is the definition of doing some simple but doing it really well. I don't know if another cartoon executed its sum of parts better.

The Late Jess Matthews 🏳️‍⚧️ @jessmatthewsproductions.com · 24d

Scooby-Doo Where Are You is, unironically, one of the best shows Hanna-Barbera ever did. Every frame just oozes with atmosphere and the Ted Nichols score is sublime. They elevate the paint-by-numbers plots.

It’s on Tubi. You should watch it!
