Oh dear god what have i started

Ok i am addicted to making these. Look guys it’s everyone’s favourite character… walkway guard !!

Dead Island is not a real fucking game.

i do think it's a bit weird how unwilling baldur's gate 3 is to play with morals... it's strange because even when divinity original sin 2 was at its most black-and-white, there was still a tangible reason for villains to do the things they wanted to do. the god-king is upset that his people have been kept behind the veil for thousands of years and has come to exact revenge, freeing his people and taking back what was stolen from him. it's not particularly DEEP, but it's enough to make you at least... Think about the motivations of the villains you engage with?

there's HINTS of it with the absolute's chosen (gortash was sold off as a kid, ketheric lost his family, orin grew up under all of that) but none of it has any bearing on the plot nor is it much more than conjecture. and there's still a lot of Evil Just For The Sake Of Evil. the illithids are unequivocally Evil as a collective, because they have to be to serve the plot. minthara Has to be under mind control to be an evil person, because otherwise it doesn't serve the plot. shar can't be anything other than Pure, Distilled Evil, because otherwise it doesn't serve the plot.

obviously these are all symptoms of the game's setting being in faerun, and the fact that baldur's gate 3 itself is a continuation of something that isn't larian's own property to begin with, but you would think that larian would at least be willing to expand and play around with morality more? though i suppose also larian wanted to carve more of their niche into classic black and white Silly Goofy Fun RPGs rather than making a thinkpiece, which also has its own place. auhhh oh well

just learned steel magnolias has an average rating of 67% and none of the main four women won any awards for their performances that should’ve been the first sign we live in a clown world

King Shit

Nicole Maines’ comment on Kylie’s video

I like to think that reviews don’t phase me (they do…) but sputnik giving her a 90 and calling ttpd ‘superb’ when they usually give some of her worst reviews is iconic

We now know where Assassin's Creed Mirage ranks across the iconic Ubisoft franchise

Hmmm... if I should disregard the Tomatometer and the MetaCritic score to the point where I must do the opposite of what they convey then am I obligated to watch this movie (if this town I'm in still had a theater)?

love when i see a movie and i’m like “this was a rlly fun movie and i enjoy how it was executed! i’d like to see it again, it had its flaws but i enjoyed immensely overall!” and then the critic reviews are like “THIS IS PANDERING GARBAGE THAT NO ONE WANTED, 1/10 BECAUSE ONE ACTOR WAS JUST OKAY IN IT”

Do you agree?

NOTTTT DEFENDING Overwatch or Overwatch 2 or Blizzard or whatever but a free to play getting reviewbombed is not like. Deep or commendable or anything. It's just funny. Games get reviewbombed all the time. Free games get reviewbombed even harder. Like this isn't a natural rating it got through normal means it's clearly (justifiably) reviewbombed. It is NOTTT that deep it is just people being funny

Goodnight to everyone but the people who profit off uncompensated, voluntary fan labor, not mentioning the CEO of Fandom by name or anything
