Ahh thank you!! Happy to be of service to the more spooked-inclined :)
BB gets a pass for being one of the best movies of all time
Oh my GOD I must watch this immediately
You're RIGHT actually it might be,,,, the MOST Chicago movie of all time??
That's like half way through the movie! The first half is in the majestic wilds of Illinois aka Jenna country!
The St Patty's Day parade 😭
It is a great movie!!
Iconic, genius, all time movie line and line read
Nah I just forget it's set in Chicago every time
If you think this reflects Seattle and not your personal vibe idk what to tell you. read the auguries.
MUCH LOVE TO CHICAGO but what of the majesty of the fields??
I take it back, I can't stay mad at The Fugitive
"I'm from the other 93% of the state"
Me when I see a movie is set in Illinois: ☺️ Me when I realize it's in Chicago: 🙂↔️
TOO HIGH UP
PAX!!
There is a massive walk out at the CDC by staff unfolding right now. It is NECESSARY. I stand in solidarity with my CDC colleagues. standing up for science and public health. It is a moral imperative.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
NOW STREAMING: a quick DEMO RALLY before I leave for PAX! Let's just see what I have downloaded~ twitch.tv/the_jenna youtube.com/watch?v=LQZT-W1oEUE
Me too, I'm very excited!

I realize I'm part of the problem, but that is a L O T of panels
I could crush a Holly
NOW STREAMING: our herd has been DIVIDED but I shall reunite us! then horn decorations for all! twitch.tv/the_jenna youtube.com/watch?v=uOWp5JX8Obk
lolol in hindsight I should have seen it coming
oh NO well,,,, probably get it for PC then
Hey! @thejenna.bsky.social and I are about to stream PEAK!!!! We might not make it to the top... but we'll have some fun trying. Here:
That was my worry with the gameplay, thank you!
it's thematic!
Is Arco good on Switch or should I get it for PC?
Second'd, motion passes
ALSO: Ify Nwadiwe’s Gaming Decathlon - Friday - 4pm - Blue Dragon west.paxsite.com/en-us/schedu...
we have (or had in 2012) access to safe abortion procedures and they sure as hell don't look like THAT. For that to be a drawn out, highlighted body horror sequences, coupled with the heavy-handed religious persecution themes and that in Covenant they list embryos as lost survivors -- it all sucks!
Aside from all the issues enumerated the replies here, I want to highlight how frustrating it is for a movie in the ALIEN franchise to have an anti-abortion bent. Both the first times I watched it, I nearly turned it off during the abortion procedure because, like...
haha WELLLL when you put it that way
now THERE'S a good project. Drop some yakkity saks when they're running from the falling spaceship
I had no idea this was still such a raw nerve lol
That reminded me so much of Alien 3 where it opens with all the beloved characters from Aliens dead and it's like, why? for what? But even WORSE because Scott made both! Those were his darlings!
I did not have fun personally but I'm glad you did!
tbh they totally wasted Elba. They didn't give him ANYTHING to do! Idris Elba!!!
It had the writing of a Sci-Fi original movie but the budget of a blockbuster and I would have preferred the opposite tbh
The whole thing reads like a first draft, like they planned to go in and replace that obvious tell-don't-show line with something clever and couldn't be bothered
Another FUN surprising moment! It's fun to be surprised!
the DESIGN is very cool even if it didn't feel very Alien-franchise-esque. I just can't believe we didn't even get to see Theron and Elba kiss. Not even a suggestive buttoning up of a shirt!!!
TIL that people who loved Prometheus great really mean about it
lolol perfect
Done a spot here or there!
It's so dumb and lazy writing, over and over again!
RIGHT?
Yeaahahhhh
The SLOPPINESS. The POINTLESSNESS. It's so flashy and meaningless!
I am excited to start Earth! I've been hearing good things but wanted to catch up on the backlog first
I think I'd be really good at it.
Someday I hope I can voice the computer of a spaceship that is indifferent to the plight of its humans within, reflecting the greater indifference of space to the fate of our existence.
It is infuriating. When she falls and does 1.5 turns to escape the crash path. And that works. Because it was about 3 yards wide. It's infuriating.
I rewatched Prometheus to see if it was as bad as I remembered, and it wasn't! It was even worse!
Exactly why we need a word for it!
rescheduling based on other game's releases
it's preeeeetty insider baseball, I think broadly people don't think or care about this kinda thing? Or maybe we just haven't hit on a good term like "silksong'd"!
I would love if this phenomenon got a name because this kind of schedule fuckery does happen and there's no quick way to describe it

This was not our choice but we understand why the choice was made. We aren't mad at Ysbryd but at the situation. Dropping the GTA of indie games with 2 weeks notice makes everyone freak out. Ysbryd is being a good partner and paying for the delay. We're sorry this is happening.
Okay, sure, Silksong is going to sell millions of copies. But can you play it in 4:3 on your CRT like Demonschool!?
hey I was on the NoClip podcast! give it a listen and subscribe!
On this week's Crewcast, Danny's blade-surfing in Sword of the Sea, Jeremy's checking out one of the OG Metroidvanias with Super Metroid, Jesse's shepherding some calicorn in Herdling, and Jenna Stoeber joins the crew with a warning: you probably shouldn't summit Mt. Fuji. youtu.be/60fj3WzA4_s
Not to put anyone on BLAST, but I'm discovering that a L O T of video game journalists and entertainers simply have not played it lol
FAQ: -Isn't that a lot of panels? Yeah! -If I see you on the show floor can I say hi? Yeah! -What if we're in the bathroom or sex dungeon? Maybe wait till we're in a less private area!

MUTUALS who are going to PAX: -have you played Tears of the Kingdom -do you wanna come on a panel Sunday early evening?
WOW each of these is such a different style!! I love them all and don't have a favorite but if I did have a favorite it would be the CYCLops logo
Fighter pass five for Big Game Hunger Havoc, featuring characters from episodes 25-30 of Big Game Hunger, which raises several important questions. How would the Family Cube work as a fighter? Why did I feel the need to put the full game title for Emotional Support Zelda? The world may never know
NOW STREAMING: HERDLING, a game about getting to the mountains with a posse of yaks twitch.tv/the_jenna youtube.com/watch?v=3-Ywf7j554I
