Okay, I know these things are never simple but I have a friend who wants to get into computer gaming. Currently most demanding thing they play is Disney Dreamlight Valley, and they will want to play Sims 5 when it comes out. Not giving specific models or asking for direct recommendations. But it the...

Okay this is it. I'm going to sit down and start a new BG3 character and get through the entire game like a normal rpg and not try and do absolutely everything again.

(mild spoilers for mid-to-end game)

I would assume Friday has already come about this, but just in case Kristen Stewart did the gayest photoshoot ever for rolling stone. There's even more images out there than they use in the linked article. The one part I read that made me laugh is her being like "I wanna be so gay I'd grow a mu...

who needs to invest in offense when you can invest in bio engineering and graft 64 psychic-powered atomic howitzers to your arms

If anything, getting pointlessly killed of at the end defines her as still a queer character.

Hemlocke Springs: Sever the Blight

I was lucky enough to recognize Harry Potter as trite when it came out and I was in the main demographic. Still being in the middle of the Hitchiker's Guide series helped. But what I've seen of reviews and summaries of them since then there is only one well-written moment in the entire series. When ...

I am almost ashamed to admit that Hogwarts: Legacy is a pretty good game. It is a AAA monstrosity of mechanical mundanity, but does a pretty good job of it. I would compare the experience to an Assassin's Creed or FarCry. There's an established system that will change just enough to seem different a...

That was so well edited I had to keep reminding myself that no modder would be able to get those custom animations in.

Georg Rockall-Schmidt makes good little rant videos about culture and media. I haven't ventured into their podcasts or other longform essay stuff.

José makes long videos about 90s sitcoms (generally positively) and sometimes Daily Wire stuff (very negatively).

Squirrel Tactics doesn't always have good, or correct opinions in his commentary. But it is an excellent source of King of the Hill lore.

münecat does long videos about generally important things more on-point with the original topic. But I don't trust her as much now, her hair is too good.

Is it actually fun? I want it to be good, but Craftopia barely became anything like a game before being abandoned in early access.

I watch a lot of youtube and keep meaning to post a brobdingnagian list of specific videos that I never do. People that make youtube videos that have made me rethink opinions, or given me the terms to describe things I already knew but couldn't articulate: brobdingnagian Joel Shaunvids Dan Olsen / F...

real quick, why is that funny?

Bottoms is a good movie people should see. It drags a bit in the third act but rounds out.

I was also confused by the imagery. Make them cocoa puffs.
