Honestly, between Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden, and Silksong coming out in like a week or so, it's a very good season for "I want to aerial juggle someone with a blade while laughing like a supervillain."
Aspiring author, wanna-be clever person, tired but not dead. A fellow tries. He/Him, if you prefer.

In all honesty, Labor Day is absolutely the funniest time for a slumlord to croak, though.
I wouldn't have guessed Thailand. Neat!
I appreciate your willingness to stand up for your principles on this. Ain't easy to push back when you've got to make a living, after all.
To be frank, I don't know yet. The idea that we have to get behind a presidential nominee a year before the next congressional midterms feels silly to me. If Gavin wants to demonstrate a less myopic stance on trans rights, he's got two years to do it, I reckon.
The only thing Cuomo has had to say about affordable housing is that he thinks Mamdani shouldn't have any.
To shreds, you say?
medium.com/@theophenes/... I wrote a send-off for a man I loathe. This is a rant.
Holy crap, that is an impressive level of racist cliche. Did they hire Jack Van Impe as a Comms guy?
Yeah, there's Farley and there's everyone else.
The squeaky wheel gets thrown into the abyss, as they say.
People talk about what doing something looks like, but relitigating is usually the epitome of doing nothing. Hell, the most do-nothing folks, be they left or moderates, are the ones still talking about 2016.
That's fucking awful. Genuinely surprised that a serious publisher would let something this asinine get to print.
We all know this is the kind of dude who folds like a birthday card if you look at him in person. And for the record, y'all are lovely.
The thing about believing you're the chosen ones is that you don't really evaluate the possibility you might be wrong. Fundamentally, Supremacy, Fascism, and Nationalism require you to tear down criticism, legitimate or otherwise, and become high on your own bullshit. Also, Hess was even weirder.
Honestly, Barnell Bohusk, AKA Beak. No major powers, no real mastery of combat. Just a baseball bat, people skills, and one mean mug. I can respect it.
"Checking the back" is how I got breaks when I worked at a liquor store.
Yeah, the desire to paint this amorality as rationality just demands a fake logic to go with it, sadly.
Yeah, there's never been any data indicating throwing minorities aside to engage an imagined centrist Republican has worked.
Mamdani must pray every night, thankful that his enemies are dumber than previously thought possible.
I mean this as a compliment, but this might be on of your more revolting pieces. The excuse "pre-existing conditions" to cover up atrocity is such a morally nauseating thing.
The fact that all these dullards are convinced that people are easily replaced with poorly trained machines shows a rather shitty estimation of the capabilities of either.
Oh, this would be a villainous point redemption gag to let your chat have.
SonicFox is the actual final boss of EVO. Doesn't matter which game they get into, it's a guarantee they will be a terrifying, confusing symphony of madness.
At the end of the day, most of history's greatest crimes and sins start with dehumanizing and othering. Unfortunately, it appeals to our worst instincts, and it's important to unlearn and spend time thinking who we are being asked to blame and why.
Hate's a strong word, but I ignore it, honestly. I don't need to pay money for someone to tell me I'm not good enough, which is all I've ever seen these guys do.
This movie was a deep fever dream of my childhood.
How in the hell do you open a restaurant in LA and manage to fail this hard at tacos? That's like going to New York and selling American cheese over saltines as pizza.
Brother, my feudal lord doesn't pay me enough to buy a nice box-cutter, I am not swinging a sword for him.
More! Swinging! BOOOOOPS!
I don't carry a knife for safety, I carry a knife because it's a useful tool. Frankly, the number of folks who are so certain there gonna get in a fight are deluded as hell.
That might be the saddest cup of chili I've ever seen.
If you're an archaeologist, it's called a post-doc.
Honestly, most of these "Masculine conservative" pinheads couldn't handle a day of dealing with the shit I do as a pedestrian who works retail.
Remember when everyone was trying to say the block chain would fix everything? There's just a bunch of bozos out there who staple buzzwords together every two years and declare a new holy grail of tech that doesn't do half of what they claim it does.
Hulk Hogan has passed. I wish he were the man he pretended to be, but he clearly wasn't. I doubt there's much to say without being cruel, so I suppose that's all I've got to offer.
My degree's in history, and if I had a nickel for every time someone on the internet yapped about theory of history with no understanding of it, I'd be the first person able to buy a house with a history degree.
This kinda leaves a different question in y head, which is what in the actual hell do they want out of a Blade movie, if not fighting vampires?
I feel for you.
"No, I said I specialize in hunting Minorities, you hung up early, sir."
Surely, she has her reward here on earth. A book deal and a by-line, all for the price of her own soul.
Yeah, the need for language everywhere online to be "ad-friendly" has been weird, toxic, and messy. I'm genuinely unsure what the answer is to the problem, unfortunately.
Anytime someone says "The Blacks" unironically, we can safely assume what follows is gonna be some high-octane stupidity.
It's not a change of heart, but it's a sign the winds are blowing.
Finally got around to watching Sinners. Excellent movie. Nice to see Coogler just do a movie that isn't part of a whole franchise. Incredible acting all around.
This is gonna be weird, I'm definitely going to dig into it later this week.
Honestly, Gunn's not complicated for the sake of it, and that's good in superhero stories, and extra good for Superman. I'm sure some people will think I'm nuts for this, but Superman is a very simple concept, it needs earnest heart, not complex analysis.
The reason is annoyingly simple. They want the money from donors, and renters aren't the source of campaign cash and/or PAC money.
That's the most AO3 thing I can possibly imagine, that's beautiful.
If you see this, quote this post with a game with a 10/10 soundtrack. Unsurprisingly, the game about music and chaos has a solid soundtrack.
Yeah, both of these orgs are specifically caused by an exodus from their party leadership. I also have more belief that Corbyn's project will actually manage to do something, given that both he and Sultana have actually won before. Musk has not been successful at retail politics.
As somebody who works retail, I have a deep sympathy for being the "managerial sin-eater." It sucks ass that he's been designated the target of vitriol that should likely be given to the actual pinheads responsible for this hot mess.
I said it before, but this is what true desperation looks like. They went to a shady illegal source provided by a neo-nazi with obviously racist motives, and the best they got was...bad paperwork? I'm not in New York, but this is not dirt in a race where competition is friggin Cuomo and Adams.
Honestly, I can't even remember how many surveys I took from colleges that had stuff to say about me. I guarantee I filled out some shit wrong, I was so exhausted with applications during my senior year I probably started adding secret codes to the essay portion or some shit.
Honestly, this is solid proof of how desperate the Times is to defame this man.
Good luck!
EA's business model of "Buy subsidiary, place unrealistic expectations and obnoxious micromanagement on subsidiary, then liquidate parts of it when it 'underperforms'" is sadly not new to me. There's a long list of studios that have suffered from this.
I really like the colors and shading, it reminds me of vintage horror movie posters.
Mamdani and AOC show me that New York might have some real leadership in years to come, but it's current Senate delegation feels pretty darn exhausting to me. But, I can't say I've had much better luck with senators in my state, if I'm being real.
We all gotta figure how much we can handle and where we want to deal with it. Do what's best for your mental health, that's always essential.
Can we not use assets from previous projects as a placeholder? Or random doodles? No one's gonna be mad if you accidentally forget to replace a texture that's just a weirdly photorealistic coconut, or some public domain jpeg from a wiki or something.
If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars or Transformers 🤖 (Bonus)
My point is this: You can manage middling quality on your own. Lord knows I freaking do.
One thing I find fascinating about the supposed "need" to use AI in media production, is that amateur-made stuff of middling quality sells all over the place? Like, I'm not saying everyone will be a stellar artist, but outsourcing your vision to a robot who's just plagiarizing something similiar?
The trick is to embrace it, to enjoy it. The rich schmucks rarely have that in them. John Waters is an exception, though. That man understands it.
To be frank, while some of the crappy establishment dems are trying to ratfuck, Cuomo and Adams' presence would be a thing even without any support, although, Cuomo probably would have given up if not for some generous donations. Their own egos are as much a part of this.
I don't actively know how many people you can pay to make you a video game with 30 million in cash, but based on the budget for some indy titles being "some guy in a studio apartment, and a second guy to compose the music" I think you could fund a lot of small-budget projects with that.
As a former Christian, it really saddens me how these nationalist weirdos have co-opted the faith for their won creepy fascist shit.
Leave it to a pro-wrestling fan like Mamdani to understand that good tag teams require complementary styles that help each other's spots. But yeah, the two of them seem to be such genuine bros, it's enviable.
Seriously, most of the last few mayors have been cops/cop advocates full of "tough on crime" bullshit. Mamdani is a serious shift, and I'm happy to see it.
Brutal and a strong critique as always, but I'm more impressed with your speed on this one. The time between the quotes and getting this done was less than half a week.
It is easier to care for people who are your neighbors instead of an ambiguous "those peoples".
And here I was thinking the funniest possibility was Giuliani trying to stage a comeback.
Salam A Slay-Queen? I'll see my self out.
Seriously, somebody at Fox just gave this man the best thing he could put on a t-shirt, for no charge.
I honestly think he's keeping his name on there to see if any donors want to get behind him instead of Adams, for some damned fool reason.
The only folks who hate free food are people who hate the idea other folks are eating. Seriously, you tell me the event has food and I'll endure some really, really unpleasant events.
What's funny is how everyone wants to think this is new or weird. "Do I want to have a beer with this guy" has been a decently reliable metric for this since I've been alive. Clinton was affable. W Bush was affable. Obama was affable. And, frankly, Biden was Affable, in a grandfatherly way.
"Surely, after Cuomo, Mamdani will have trouble with a different politician in a perpetual state of scandal with a track record that infuriates the city" -- some rich guy with his head so far up his backside sneezing counts as an enema.
Honestly, living in the United States right now has been pretty emotionally exhausting and disappointing, as a lefty. It has been very nice to have some real hope and joy tonight. He wasn't the only one, as Democratic Socialists made real gains in multiple other primaries in New York state.
Knowing that some of the shittiest parts of New York's political machine lit 35 million dollars on fire in a failed attempt to slow this guy down is deeply satisfying to me.
The worst people on the internet are really gonna be self-identifying their crazy bullshit all week, it seems.
I'd argue Cuomo and Bloomberg refusing to learn was exactly a huge part of what happened tonight, although I'm admittedly not in New York and only have a long-distance view of all this. Frankly, in order to win somewhere, we've got to start swinging everywhere.
Well. I feel like less of a hack, now.
Back in my day we called them Spelljammers, and they kicked ass.
I'm not in New York, but it's my understanding that this thing is ranked choice, and honestly, I'm rooting for Zohran because then maybe we can have a few years where the legacy press in New York can quit pretending the Mayor of New York is a stepping stone to the presidency.
Happy Juneteenth! Please note that any replies with ignorant takes will be ignored, I've got shit to do and with my credentials teaching history requires an hourly rate.
I feel like the overlap of it rides in with a demand that exists in fascism, namely, for an "artist" that doesn't ever have questions/thoughts of their own or a need to be treated well and cared for in a real capacity.
What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? The entirety of physical architecture in a casino is designed to prevent you from thinking about what time it is, which is why there are typically no clocks on the gaming floor and no outside facing windows.
Honestly, I took it as them not wanting to be there and half-assing it. I don't think a lot of active troops were ecstatic to do this dumb vanity parade.
This is what the bruhaha is about? Are folks gonna do a discourse on showing ankles afterwards?
Seriously. Some people are just into stuff. And some people don't even know what they're into until they experiment. Go figure.
Most people migrated from Twitter when Elon wouldn't stop yelling weird alt-right crap after buying the site out. Yes, a lot of us on here find conservatism and its talking points tiresome. Do you feel smarter for realizing this obvious thing?
Hell of a chase card to get, good on ya.
Right tools get the job done, hell yeah.
Maybe if he'd hired some actual competent villains instead of a guy calling himself "Big Balls" who isn't old enough to rent a car, he would've got somewhere.
He is known as gout, the 5th horseman of the apocalypse.
Short Answer: ArcSys is making a Marvel Fighter.
I don't recognize the guy with the bow and orange croptop, but I'm always happy to see some Sir Justin rep.
All that comes to mind for me is the Kennedys. Although I guess that's now a bipartisan nepo-dynasty thing?
