OK, this is literally the same list I would make.
Getting closer.
Still thinking about Graham Greene today. youtu.be/Krte5w4xZ_U?...
For my Americans, just FYI, but apparently the rumors about Walter Reid being shut down for the last day are not true, people in the area have verified. It was just a conspiracy theory. It’s likely that this announcement is going to be something ridiculous like “we’re changing the name of X to Y”.
Big dose of my childhood here.
God, that's right, I forgot he was in Die Hard with A Vengeance.
RIP Graham Greene, watch Clearcut or go to hell
RIP Graham Greene, 73. Credits include Dances with Wolves, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Thunderheart, The Green Mile, Wind River, Maverick, King Ivory, Transamerica, North, Grey Owl, Twilight: New Moon, The Shack, Casino Jack, Atlantic Rim, Antlers, Red Dead Redemption II, Molly's Game, and 100+ more.
This is an emotional one. Graham Greene is someone I've always loved to see on screen since I saw him in Dances as a kid. He is going to be truly missed. His surprise role in Reservation Dogs made me yell out loud when he pulled off that bandana.
Do not disturb: Otterly exhausted
So, do we wait for a cloud of orange smoke or something?
We're watching them twice. First with the chill music, then the version with the actual sound!
I would say "worth the read" but you'll never see Dennis the Menace (US version) the same way. Fuck Hank Ketcham.
We have relaxing ambiance on the tv the last few weeks. Mostly stormy castles, old tyme radio while a blizzard rages. Background noise to calm anxiety. My wife grew tired of the "dreariness", put on a 2 hr loop of trains in the Japanese countryside. We've been hypnotized for 30 min, slack jawed.
Somewhere in Iceland.
This year alone may be the greatest grand slam ever, but imagine the triple play we might get in the next few weeks if Old Grim puts in the OT.
That was me yesterday. I was torn between HD two, BG3 and Sims 4. I ended up deciding none and playing Hollow Knight and Night at the Woods.
Can confirm.
This is exactly it.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Thinking that on the day we hang the flag at double mast
This is like 95% of the yuri and straight romcom manga I've read.
And the vibration and THUD sound. It makes me anxious. lol
Yeah it's not fair to Hoggle. Hoggle would never kill kids or bears. Or pixies.
I honestly considered trying once considering how I've slowly realized just how vital the pogo attack is, but now I feel like a coward for not going through it and trying it. Getting hit in this game causes me trauma. haha
Marty McFly Reboot
Finally met the bug that everyone has been losing their minds over for over half a decade.
Hold on...you can pogo on the spikes.
The Strange History of ‘Cycle of the Werewolf’ and ‘Silver Bullet’ nbrehmer.medium.com/the-strange-...
Thank you! I went that way twice but in the opening area I thought I had to double jump to get to a higher ledge to move forward. I didn't realize there was a path below - the vines hid the path into the actual Greenpath. Also, gasped when I saw Hornet.
I can go that way!?
This is actually kind of hilarious because it proves the angry "Gamer" minority are in fact just a loud as fuck minority.
I'm convinced.
I knew I shouldn't have got my hopes up.
Okay officially asking for help. Here's my map, here's my inventory/abilities. I've bought everything from the map vendor, but I will need to grind to buy the odds and ends stuff - one of which is a key I suspect I need to buy for like 1200 geo. I think the key openes the door in Dirthmouth?
Please don’t ask me how excited I was for Metroid Dread and how I got stuck like 1 hour in. Already.
I think that’s my biggest issue. I don’t have any mobility items, I just unlocked the kamaheha from the witch. There are areas that seem to require a double chump or some type of dash move, like spikes on the floor, and I’m not sure where to get them.
While you may be familiar with mushroom fairy circles, occasionally you may run into the much rarer Subdivision Pineapple Chunk Half Circle.
I’m about to post my map and ask for a hint. There are two things that are obvious, there is a door that needs a key outside of Dirtmouth (to the right) and a train that needs an “object”. I’m thinking of grinding for the key because it’s expensive.
I really liked that thread for a while because some of the people are definitely great, even the ones who are a bit too Xbox pilled. But I blocked those threads after the mass layoffs and that is something I don’t miss, the fake posts that feel like marketing people farming engagement.
I love Metroidvanias but my god, I get so frustrated when I reach a spot where I'm not sure where to go. When I've circled the map 10 times, looked at every sprite on the map for a secret entrance. I got stuck in Metroid II for a year in my childhood and now I'm stuck in Hollow Knight 30 yrs later.
I'm cloning your replies to create a Fat4all engagement bot on Twitter that just posts furry dicks 25/8 and Elon feederism porn.
Let's all quit our jobs and open a cat cafe arcade. It's like a cat cafe, but the coffee side is cozy and soft and chill and the arcade side is chaotic and you can play Daytona 500 with a tabby on your lap.
No no, get back here and fix your error...
You're banned from my Cracker Barrel for this joke.
Era looks better when you haven't been there in days. NO, let me rephrase that. It actually looks worse, because you realize how bad it's gotten more when you come back after an absence.
Et tu, Ultan? Et tu?
Just to be clear: GENOCIDE is okay if: 1) the people being wiped out have corrupt leaders 2) the people doing the killing are previous genocide victims. Okay, now that we established the rules of genocide... You have the next move, Native Americans.
No, fuck it, there should be a level of shaming. I know the "let's not shame people for liking the controversial topic" thing applies in some cases, but it's always made me side eye those people and in THIS CASE? We're talking about wiping out people to make Trump Tower. Fuck them.
Why doops...
Doomscrolling is a lot more fun when you're rooting for the doom
I remember how exciting this trailer was back in the day. The dinosaurs and dragons vibe. It took me 20 years to finally get into the game. As in - literally this April is when it finally “stuck”.
I’m so stupid. My brain isn’t today.
What take is this. 12 was beloved when it came out. It’s been a bit more forgotten but it’s definitely not the black sheep.
Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID. If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.
Terry Pratchett. On point as ever.
Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*
He’s going to pass away gently without facing consequences, but on a high note…
Do not, under any circumstances, give Microsoft money.
It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!
The space vampire one was my favorite for years.
My childhood was rewritten the moment this came into existence back in the 80s.
'Little Witch in the Woods' 1.0 release delayed to September 15th because of 'Hollow Knight Silksong'.
We're becoming communist, just not without the traditional communists.
rise and shine!!!
I honestly had a point to all this, but I stopped posting because I have a massive migraine. I originally was making a point that Star Wars should embrace the time period. It’s created in, similar to how the original trilogy represented the 70s and 80s. But my head is killing me lol
Yeah, I've been hearing the "if you don't want to play it with original graphics, you don't deserve to" bullshit from Gamer nerds for decades. At least "play it on original hardware" folks are easy to laugh at.
It's true. 9/11, Columbine, Bill Clinton getting a blowjob led to our country become fascist.
I'm sure even close friends won't really care or get the point of what I'm saying and be like "well I didn't like them, they need to market to me". Star Wars can be for everyone. Andor is genuinely beloved by older fans, but not younger fans. But young fans keep things fresh.
The sequels will be fine as they did appeal to younger generations. Just like the prequels did. Kids loved Rey. It's a timeless argument that started even back when Empire was released. "Older folks felt it was disappointing but younger kids loved it" has been a thing since 1980.
My Star Wars take: George Lucas wanted Star Wars to evolve. George Lucas was upset that the sequels rehashed the OT. George Lucas intended his films to be for modern kids. Star Wars needs to stop making shit for people over 20. 1/?
That’s exactly it. They keep talking about the founding fathers, but these current motherfuckers would be keeping people from throwing tea in the harbor.
I’m starting to think that maybe the second amendment was a bunch of bullshit. People have literally been waiting centuries for this moment and yet they voted for it. I think maybe the Democrat should have actually taken away everyone’s guns.
10000%
Thanks for the heads up. I'll join it and see what's up. Thank you!
My idea of wealth as a kid was high ceilings and those "great rooms" or a living room with multiple seating areas. We ever visit one of those houses, I'd be like "oh this is a fancy manor house - I really don't like tea, however, hope they serve juice". Someday I'll have a home like that.
I tape is gonna be $30! And you’ll only get 3-4 episodes at most! I’d just rent them and dub them with a second VCR. That way you can get almost an entire season on two 6 hour EP VHS.
Dude pushes her away after taking a split second to realize what was happening to protect her…all the while with slider in his mouth. Good man.
Dude on the left was disassociating because of how good that slider was and then got immediate whiplash oh my god
I was going to make a thread about how life is hard enough to be pissing and moaning about such minor things.
Also “Our Discord”.
My local Perkins had a wooden wishing well near the front lobby and it was full of cheap ass toys. Kids would be allowed to reach into it and pull something out. I always went for these.
YES. The little dome thing? And the anticipation waiting for it to pop?
I’ll take the smelly pencil and eraser if they’re all out of frogs.
I'm going to be honest: I think toys peaked right here.
I created a burner account on Qwitter just to goad House Democrats into fucking DOING SOMETHING. We don't need the elderly leadership and their puppet Obama cosplayer spending their time criticizing young Dems that are getting media attention and writing "strongly worded letters" to fascists.
Currently playing the Gloomy Eyes demo and I'm aWASH in atmosphere and gameplay that brings to mind Double Fine, Coraline, and MedEvil. It's like Braid and Abe's Oddysee had a kid and the kid was best friends with Nightmare Before Christmas and Costume Quest.
I completely forgot this existed, but now I want to go find it. This is a good excuse to go hang out at the LCBS!
I remember when they used to be bonuses that would come with magazines, or cheap controllers!
I absolutely will not be leaving my job. I have probably one of the most secure jobs on the planet, and I will be watching my Ps and Qs. I plan on retiring, because I finally found the one place that the assholes in charge have little effect on.
Do you know something I have completely forgotten existed for 20 years, despite all of the retro social media I follow? I forgot memory card stickers. I think your account is the first time I’ve remembered that memory card stickers were a thing in over 20 years.
Emporer Trump meeting Putin.
Jacob Anderson never breaks character while working! Until they finish IWTV, I'm gonna watch my neck if I ever see him in public.
