God, going back to the beginning of this thread is pure gold. And Baytor has a point. House of the Dead has never taken itself seriously (don't talk about the movie). That's kinda part of its charm. Its like they just ran with the camp of RE1 and kept it going

Soooo...what did we think?

My mans uncle owen straight up said "like you trained his father". Oof.

I really thought with this being the Persona anniversary year we'd be getting a lot more cool news. Feels like nothing super exciting is happening. I mean I want to go to the Persona 2 day concert in Japan like the next guy but....come on now.

This looks weird as heck. I'm in.

#justiceforMiguel. I am excited for spider verse of course, but my mans deserves his own picture.

Full stop - go see this movie. Stop what you are doing right now, go to the movies and fucking watch this. The Daniels (Swiss Army Man) movies are not for everyone. This one is. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel things. I saw someone compare the tone in places to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where you just walk out of it....feeling something. Its a hard movie to describe other than it is an absurd slice of life movie about a mother trying to find her place in the world. The use of color and fight scenes are wonderful. The comedy is just...oof so good. The year is far from over but right now its going to be hard to move this out of the way for favorite movie of the year. Seriously, go see this movie. (I don't know if other Alamo Drafthouses are doing this, but when you walked out of the theater there were googly eyes all over the floor - its a thing in the movie, it was a cute touch)

Welp, that was certainly a movie. There were threads of a good movie somewhere in there, I had a little faith going in but man...it gets really disjointed and rushed. The entire ending felt like it was cut down to hit the 90 minute mark - not even a spoiler but it ends REALLY abruptly. The 2 post credit scenes were.....wtf? Like....what the actual fuck. Catch it on streaming if you want to see it, or somewhere you can drink like I did.

Loved it, want more. 'Nuff said.

So I spend a lot of time on game dev youtube, and yesterday I came across this little video about a "game" called Kind Words. I encourage you to check out the video on it, even if you don't plan on picking it up. The premise is fairly simple - you get a room to decorate and people write down their real life issues and you can reply to them. All of it is anonymous. The devs work hard to make sure there's no trolls etc - it has a monitored reporting system. I mostly wanted to pass this along since the world can be a little much to deal with, and maybe this might help someone out there. (It's only 5 bucks on steam)

I'm wondering if CDPR took either a cash or stock hit because of all of the CP stuff and they are partnering with Epic for monitary reasons. Also means new witcher will probably be GOG+Epic store first.

Dang. It feels like it would be an easy win for an adaptation. I only read the first bit of the comics though.

It was bound to happen honestly. Netflix has kinda been at max saturation point for a while now and they are constantly looking for new ways to get more money in to appease shareholders - its why they are trying to do things like get into the video game market. Numbers gotta always go up, even if it means screwing people over.

Yeah. Curious about the power changes but other than that I really am hyped for more people getting introduced to her.

So, discourse on twitter seems to be around 2 things 1. "finally a superhero that looks/acts like me" and 2. WTF did they do to her powers?

It was everything I wanted it to be. I'm glad it's doing so well, because I do want to see more.

Yeah no ones really talking about it. Kinda sad since the concept seemed neat.

Yeah there was a lot of meh, but that one - as soon as I saw it, i was like...yep gonna get that.

So uh, I guess this is the spot to post this.

That made me laugh way harder than it probably should have.

I saw a tweet this week that was something along the lines of: "Dudes over 30 be like, yeah i'm busy tonight drinking whiskey and watching youtube". And you know what? Fair. So I did about .5 seconds of searching the board and based on google rules (if it's not on page 1, it does not exist) and decided to open a thread about what channels we actually subscribe to on youtube. I watch a lot of long form video essays so there's a lot of those and I'm always looking for recommendations on new stuff to watch. So here we go. https://www.youtube.com/c/TaleFoundryShow - Tale foundry. Actually came across this one last night. Fully animated, the main robot character talks about literature you might not know of (his clive barker book one is the video that got me hooked and I immediately got the audiobook after the video) and discussions about the craft of writing. His dune vid is pretty dang good too. https://www.youtube.com/c/LadyEmilyPresents - Lady Emily - She does not have a ton of vids up but they have all been worth my time. She goes into older parts of internet history like Channel Awesome and AVGN. Its a good watch for internet olds like us. https://www.youtube.com/user/broadcaststsatic - Noah Caldwell-Gervais - You like video games? Would you like a 5 hour essay on Gears of War that's actually good? Noah is your man. Works well for both deep diving into a subject while you're awake, or something comforting to listen to as you go to sleep. https://www.youtube.com/c/JacobGeller - Jacob Geller - Hard to quantify what Jacobs videos are about. Yes they are about games most of the time, but they are also about the human experience. Watch his video on why "Horror Games Sound Beautiful". https://www.youtube.com/c/ChillFuel - Chill Fuel - Ok this channel isn't for everyone. This is a recent addition to my list that goes into some of the weirder parts of the internet, like the messed up things people have found while geocaching. https://www.youtube.com/c/SummoningSalt - Summoning Salt: History of speedruns. More entertaining than it sounds. https://www.youtube.com/c/RyanHollinger - Ryan Hollinger: Horror reviews. A lot of fun. I often have him on in the background while I cook. https://www.youtube.com/c/thorhighheels - Thor High Heels - He mostly showcases weird ass games you probably never played. Def worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/c/Ladyknightthebrave - Lady Knight The Brave - long form essays. All of them fantastic and go down some deep rabbit holes. Her episode on MASH was surprisingly full of heart. Talks a lot about the gay/jewish experience. https://www.youtube.com/c/RagnarRoxShow - Ragnarox: Horror games. His "games from underground" series is one of my favorite things, where he just deep dives into itch.io and finds shit you'd never think to try. https://www.youtube.com/c/Nam12399 - Nams Compendium: Put here because I know you fuckers like PERSONA shit. Ok I have a ton more but I'll stop here for now, mostly because I need to go lead my morning team meeting. Looking forward to your recommendations.

It absolutely deserves more and I'm glad they are keeping it going.

As long as they found a way that works for them, do it.

I bailed on D3 like 3 times and I've been dark souls, DS1 and bloodborne. Idk going back to souls after BB was tough.

I never played P3 - so any kind of news on that front would be cool.
