A ★★★★½ review of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) The title theme to this movie drives me crazy. It's like the first bar of Danny Elfman's "Breakfast Machine" but in a slightly different tempo, and then it becomes a completely different song. They ru...

I wish Firefox had something like this. I downloaded one once a year or two ago and it didn't work.

Ew. Went to save an image off of Bluesky and it gave me a webp. It didn't used to do that.

Asked what it sees as future challenges for its full game titles, Sega responded: “While the development costs per title for our mainstay titles are lower compared to so-called AAA titles in the industry, we recognize that our strength lies in the relatively high acclaim we receive for quality.” It added: “On the other hand, we also recognize that such high evaluations have yet to translate into a further increase in unit sales.

It's from their newest earnings report, which basically says that high critical response to recent titles (Shinobi, Crossworlds) has not translated to an increase in sales. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sega-sa...

Blaze [SAGE], — 6:02 PM that Sega quote is so fucked up I saw people talking about that when I woke up "yeah people thought Sonic Frontiers was good but it didn't make it sell better so who gives a shit" I've been saying that for years like in the sense that some really truly dogshit Sonic games have sold a lot of fucking money and all these places care about are trends so if a dogshit sonic game sells really well the emphasis is actually on making more dogshit sonic games because that's where the money is and if Sega's out there saying "hey Sonic Frontiers didn't actually sell any better than usual" then that's an even bigger indicator

Matt — 4:04 PM you should say "Normally people say I sound like Teller" Nice Ice Baby — 4:04 PM [emote of a face nodding and pointing, like, "he gets it."] Blaze [SAGE], — 4:12 PM oh that one's good

Tempting to respond to this one just to say "That's bullshit."

A ★★ review of Krull (1983) Krull has great sets, great costumes, and fun visual effects for a 1983 fantasy epic. And... that's about it. Characters are flat. The story feels like an afterthought. There's a princess? And she get...

For the record, I rewatched Krull last night and this point still stands. What a nothing movie

So I slowly decay into increasing non-action while several people in my life shrug at me and basically say "Just get over it."

"Oh, it's not chemical, but emotional? That's not a disability!" as I sit here with all the behaviors and symptoms of it anyway. Which actually seem to be getting worse as I get older, too; something I was told is proof it can't be ADHD, because ADHD doesn't "get worse" like this.

Kill isn't a swear word...?

The guy from the OC did his undergrad in economics and has become a prominent critic of cryptocurrency. He made a documentary last year and you should see it.

What hurts me was going to a neurologist last year and being told that despite having many symptoms of ADHD it's more likely I have extreme PTSD instead. Every support system designed to help with ADHD now looks at me funny despite me relating to a lot of this.

"The next generation of DirectX" aka how we force everyone to update to Windows 11 (or even 12)

That one's already happened. They've been replacing "old" STW textures with current BR ones for months now, in an effort to "reduce file size". I don't really like it because it's kind of been taking away STWs identity. The new textures are a little too realistic and not stylized like the old ones

happy MAR-10 DAY! #marioday

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

can't be emphasised enough that no matter how empty Valve's defense of lootboxes sounds, the lawsuit is also a trojan horse to censor violence in games so it's not a good idea to side with it lol

Panel 1 Comic titled “Rejection Sensitivity Explained.” The ADHD Alien character stands beside another person who responds casually with the words “Oh, thanks.” The reaction is neutral and calm. The ADHD Alien character looks worried and overthinks the interaction. Caption text reads: “When people react neutrally to me, I think they secretly hate me.”

Panel 2 The ADHD Alien character sits curled up on the floor in a dim room, looking anxious and overwhelmed. The caption reads: “It’s like my logic turns off and an emergency mode turns on.” Thought bubbles show spiraling worries: “I must’ve done something wrong.” “I need to figure out what I did wrong.” “Did I overstep?”

Spent all vacation worrying that the people I’d meet wouldn’t like me. They liked me 😭. Could’ve enjoyed my croissant in peace

Green puppet sees some birds and says "Hmm. Flock together birds of a feather DO." More and more birds descend onto him. Final panel birds are flying away and all that remains is a cane.

I appreciate the newest Chaotix podcast using words like "died" and "dead". I wonder if they can say "kill"
