no, don't worry, luke, the next mostly unpromoted unranked guy vs top five guy instant contendership matchup is the one that's going to put the company right back on top, just you wait
the spanish feed continued working the whole time which feels somehow appropriate for the night they announced the white house card
cannot get over cyril gane's One Weird Trick for getting infinite title shots
honestly more than questions of video game taste i just salute you for the bravery of putting huniepop right in the middle like a big public bullseye
a) that was really neat and b) hearing it aloud is the first time i've pondered Carl as a Cher-style mononym
well, that's my week made.
UFC 326 is upon us and it's the equivalent of trying to enjoy a wonderful picnic in the middle of a rain except it's raining the dumbest advertising you've ever seen and also the clouds are kind of racist.

It turned me from 'person who spent hundreds of hours in both games and had planned to start Destiny 2 all over again' to 'person who never launched the game again' on the spot and anecdotally that seems like a really common thing.
sometimes you have those days where you need to lie to yourself about enjoying your own relaxation mechanisms
As someone who doesn't really play adult stuff my automated next fest recommendations still included a demo for FEMBOY FUTA MANIA and I was perplexed until I saw that Steam was parsing it as a professional wrestling game
The UFC is back in Mexico and man we really hit the they-don't-give-a-fuck arc of the Paramount era faster than I thought.

75% keyboards are 100% bullshit
what're you talking about, renato moicano vs chris duncan is so important they put the fight announcement in gold text
no one forces this on me, i walk willingly into hell
read jess that is an order

you stop that this instant.
just an astonishing speedrun of pissing away all fan goodwill for no gain whatsoever
I think we're in the they-fully-don't-care stage. The NSAC gave them shit for booking Jesse Butler two months after a knockout in 2023 and now people are fighting 40-60 days after stoppages and folks are doing weigh-ins with plainly visible injuries. We're in a wholly captured age of the sport.
binge/purge cycle

the universal constant of putting stuff on the internet, no matter what format, is the persistent awareness that you could be much more successful if you were willing to be a shithead with no standards
I knew someone in the bay area that used a raspberry pi to make a speakerbox that would read bedtime stories to their children on demand so they didn't have to; I do not know them anymore
Watching the reactions today split between "Paddy legitimized himself as a top Lightweight" and "Paddy got the shit kicked out of him" is like an internet-wide Rorschach test to determine which people marketing works on.
can we not get elvis sinosic back instead
