Within the last 5 years specifically social media grifting has just blown the fuck up in a way I couldn’t have predicted. There have always been grifters about but the extent to which it’s now done publicly, obviously, and aspirationally is wild to see.

Bring back GOOMF you absolute cowards.

Imagine wanting to deprive us of this content. @TUFKAK

Tillman was so fucking good in season 1, I hope he gets a fat check for Mission Impossible.

The Infamous games are fine / good. If you like “classic” open world gaming with some real polar opposite morality choices (I think the first one has something where your option is either give food to hungry people or blast it with lightning, for an example of what you’re asked to consider) they’re fun. I remember the traversal being pretty entertaining too, but this was a pre-Spider-Man world, so I can’t say how much I’d expect that bit specifically to have aged, especially if you’ve played Spidey recently. I guess the Spidey comparison is pretty apt in that it’s very much a comic book inspired, open world, action series. I don’t think any Infamous game does anything as well as any of the 3 Spideys do… if that kinda comparison would hold back your enjoyment, maybe worth passing? If not, there’s definitely fun bits and It’s not that they’re bad games at all, just that Spidey really raised the bar for this genre specifically.

“Corpo bad” isn’t even the message, it’s just the setting and has been since FO1. Bethesda handles that with the grace you’d expect but it’s like Pip Boys and caps.

Somehow I'd never heard Forrest Bump before, lel.

Making Justice League 4 hours long and turning Wonder Woman into a murderer did not make it better.

Me to a pokemon: get on my level Charizard:

Are blue, pink, and white not the trans flag colors?

The community doing one online is probably for the best anyway. Not paying for hotels and travel means a "World" championship is basically selecting from people who have enough money to make it to the US / a certain spot in the US, so you're already eliminating a huge group of players who can hang but can't afford that. When I was playing in Regional Imperial Assault or Destiny tournaments, 100% of the time the winner give their ticket to someone several people down the results board before they found someone who could afford to go to Nationals, and I know this happened at Nationals too, particularly at events outside the US. That's not to say the people who did make it to Worlds were scrubs or anything just that it wasn't representative of the actual best players from Regionals or Nationals.

Also on the spoiler topic with @SuperSpreader and @TwinIon, if I was going to be really precious about the Fallout lore I'd say... Again, not a big deal, it's just silly.

Someone accused Gary Chalk and Louise Sugden of being a tourists on Twitter the other day and I just can't. This is @Zaku3 erasure.

Seeing some of the takes online about how "Bethesda and Todd Howard hate New Vegas and deleted it with this show" and I'm wondering how on earth these people navigate the world around them. Jesus Christ.
