Zootopia 2 and Wicked 2 have strong-armed my AMC so hard for extra screens.
On average days the first screening is at 12:30pm. Rental Family started at 9:30 am to get "small" movies out of the way so basically every screen in the theater can be Wicked/Zootopia the rest of today.

Why doesn't anyone in Costco have spatial awareness "
My good dude, 75% of the store shifts constantly. Even regular perennial Kirkland products will shift and move around the aisle to accommodate the flow of new products.
It's a store in constant flux. Normie shoppers can barely handle Walmart.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

Unfun fact: this developer used generative AI to make the card art (that they then drew on top of so it technically isn't "AI art") and also generated AI songs for the in-game radio.
Both details they lied about when submitting the game to Steam, so it doesn't have an AI disclosure.

The gaming industry really needs a "we gotta talk about how shovelware devs manipulate steam metrics" tell-all article where someone breaks down how easy it is to use a handful of shell companies to crank out "demos" to fish for successful ideas.

That artist in 2025: Roxx Weinerman transitioned during lockdown, straining but ultimately saving her marriage. She's a line cook now.

Calling authors petit bourgeoisie is indeed insane. We are artisans and we deserve to profit from our labor.
That said, digital piracy has never been shown to represent actual lost sales, and may in fact DRIVE sales. I think authors should cool out about it.

We’re not small business owners, ffs - we’re independent contractors, and we are routinely robbed by the world’s dumbest dingbats.

I really wish stories like this got WAY more traction than they do.
Steam banned this game for release FOR TWO YEARS, with no clear direction and communication to the devs as to the issues, content or concerns.

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I need a movie where Geoffrey Rush and Bill Nighy play an odd couple who bicker constantly.
It'd make so little money at the box office but it'd be the most engaging thing you've ever watched.

The other day I found a sock I got from a Yik Yak rep at a collegiate journalism conference.
His whole point of being there was to talk college writers into installing Yik Yak to keep track of what was happening on campus by giving them socks with the logo. Didn't mention Colgate, funnily enough.

Reminder that the last time he was on JRE talking about how good Grok is at talking shit with the safeties turned off, he tried it out live on the episode and Grok started defending trans women.

Here's a hot Wizard of Oz (1939) take for ya:
It'd be a better movie if Kansas was in color when Dorothy wakes up. Whether Oz was real or not, it changed her perspective on life to the point it's not monochromatic.

I cannot recommend Man I Just Wanna Go Home enough. It has all the mechanical creature comforts of a choose-your-own-adventure you actually WANT to replay several times to chase down alternate paths. All with some of the most painstakingly, lovingly-rendered artwork you'll see in a game this year.
