My incredulity is as boundless as it is impotent.

I’ve never played one except a PSP game way back that I dont think I understood at the time. I can’t even remember why I had it tbh. But I’ve been eyeing the series for the past few years. They look fun, but I’m not typically a Capcom fan and I’m pretty sure it’s not for me. Glad to be able to finally give one a proper try.

Well deserved. My kids fucking love Astro’s Playroom.

There is some absolutely hilarious material in here, were it instead fictional.

First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.

“I keep trying to give them lunch breaks but they insist on doing what’s in the best interest my pocket lining!”

And my favorite, also from Roger Wilder:

“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”

Could you imagine the delivery of this line, with just the right amount of pause after “give me a break” and the right expression to the camera if this were said on something like Parks and Rec?

A Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida.

Would that all candidates for public office suffered such setbacks if they were accused of living in Florida.

Fine, I’ll play the demo.

I don’t think I’m the target audience for this, I get PS3-era Platinum Games vibes from the little I know, which never interested me. The onslaught of coverage feels manufactured to me, but I’m open to the possibility that’s just because I don’t understand the hype. Time to give it a shot I guess.

Edit: nah, not for me. Cool monster designs though.

No denying it’s been underwhelming. Dave the Diver is a pretty good catch this month though (I assume from its reputation, I haven’t played it).

Pleasantly surprised for Deliver Us Mars. Deliver Us the Moon was a really immersive, entertaining journey.

Some of us buy printers because we have abuse and humiliation fetishes. My OfficeJet is the kinkiest product I own.

I like some punishing games (Returnal, Demon’s Souls Remake, Hollow Knight). Someone convince I’m likely or unlikely to enjoy Remnant From the Ashes. I’ve been on the fence for a while.

I read today on wikipedia that the co-creators of the comics have both praised the film, with Kevin Eastman saying it will always be the best Turtles film adaptation. I don’t know anything about it’s development, but it strikes me that the production team must have been making a deliberate effort to incorporate some of the source comic’s DNA beneath the more family-friendly, commercial surface.

I sobbed at 6 years old to the scene where Splinter is talking to the turtles through the fire. To the point my parents had to stop the movie and frantically explain that it’s not real, it’s just a story, the story will get happier, etc.

I’m a…moderate soulslike fan, not a huge devotee by any stretch, but this trailer strikes me as really bland. The soulslike gameplay style has become so rote that showcasing a series of short combat clips is essentially advertising that you’ve made an arguably cheap-looking copy of a >decade-old formula. In my opinion, if these games want to capture customers’ attention (mine at least), they should be evidencing: (1) compelling level design, (2) tight mechanical tuning, (3) unique boss encounters, and (4) cool creature designs. Plus anything else that’s a core differentiator. At best, Enotria got maybe halfway there on the fourth point in this trailer, and that’s it.

Great song though.
