Playing hard, but keeping it casual.

Games, music, movies, pop culture.

Anti-fascism, far, far left.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

"The democrats need to be open to people who experience hardship and the people who cause it."
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Companies and foreign entities alike know that they merely need to flatter our President with some made up Trophy to gain his favor. And he falls for it every single time. Embarrassing

It fails at something that Metroid Dread excelled at: bringing a contemporary design ethos to a classic without reinventing the wheel.
For better and for worse Metroid Prime 4 feels like it was made in 2007.

This makes the level design fun but the combat awful. It leaves me wanting to play the Metroid Prime remake much of the time, since it has nothing new to offer of its own .

So far Metroid Prime 4 is very linear, which makes it all the more aggravating when the mouthy guy, with subtitles and dialogue turned off, stops all gameplay to tell you that you need to go and do the objectives.

The Horses stuff is very tiring because so many in games like the idea of games being “art” when it suits them, but revert to “nooo games are fun toys” when it makes them uncomfortable.

So the mouthy guy in Metroid is indeed a major vibe killer. I've muted the dialogue for now and might kill the subtitles as well. I've never needed these in a Metroid game, really

Paul Dani is great, but this entire posturing is just a bad look and unprofessional on Tarantino's part.
Paul Dano Fans Hit Back After Quentin Tarantino Calls The Batman Star 'The Weakest F***ing Actor in SAG' - IGN
Quentin Tarantino has said There Will Be Blood could have been his favorite film of the 21st century if “weak sauce” actor Paul Dano wasn’t in it.

Metroid Prime 4 score is amazing. Massive game awards snub. Timing issues?
December 4, 2025 at 6:03 AM
So far the atmosphere in Metroid Prime 4 *is great* which makes me more sad that mouthy people show up.
December 4, 2025 at 5:45 AM
If nothing else, Metroid Prime 4 is a great technical showcase for switch 2 and makes me hope they do an upgrade for the remake of the first one

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.
