Okay I was kinda worried I was gonna hate it, but active combat works REALLY well for Pokemon. I want more games like this. I still want traditional turn-based games to stick around, but I hope we get more Legends games like this

No kings day has me thinking about politeness. There’s a time and place to be polite. Be polite to your friends, your neighbors, your community, and service workers. Don’t be polite to fuckin cops and fascists.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Earthbound to me is about the cruelty and insanity of expecting kids to be the heroes, and the assumption that younger generations must fix the older ones' mistakes, even if they ARE suited for it. It remains enduring and unique no matter how many things have supposedly been influenced by it

I'm glad I learned to stop trying to change myself for other people. I think all the lame weird shit about me is cool and if you don't think that's cool then it's your loss

I always thought I wanted a PS4 and now I've had one in my home for like 3 years and have never once felt compelled to plug it in and play it. I truly can not imagine ever wanting to play a new PlayStation console at this point. I have over 200 Switch games, I'll be fine
