Futurama’s society has no conception of how, when, and where the moon landing occurred, but they have video of Rudy Giuliani putting a bunch of garbage on a barge and pushing it out to sea. What were the standards for the retention of information?

Matt

Overall it’s a fun time that I’d recommend as a co-op stealth game, but if you’re looking for something actually scary to play with your friend you might as well keep looking.

Matt

Another source of scares is “The Skinner Man”, who appears who your sanity is low. After about an hour of playing though I realized he can’t actually cause damage unless your sanity is literally at zero, so with that in mind the incentive to keep my sanity up dropped and the Skinner Man basically became a recurring guest star in my gameplay experience.

Matt

If you liked Rockstar Games’ Manhunt, it’s a pretty similar type of game, just without the combat. Enemies can’t be killed, only stunned, and only if you have the specific ability that lets you stun. It’s just enough for you and your friend to run away. The enemy pathing works well for the most part (I suspect the main hunter in each level teleports frequently when you aren’t looking though) but when it doesn’t work it really doesn’t work, I spent a good five minutes trapped in a locker because the hunter that followed me into the very small room it was in got locked into a patrol path that basically had it circling directly in front of me, and with very little health walking out with him there would have killed me. He eventually finally pathed to a different node after my friend made a bunch of noise in a different room but had he not done that I think my run would have ended there. Not great.

Matt

The Outlast Trials is a very fun co-op game but it falls unfortunately short on actual scares, probably because actual scares are not really that conducive to a fun co-op experience.

Matt

I don’t care how good your VR technology is, when you’re pricing it at 3.5x the Valve Index, which is already prohibitively expensive for the average consumer, I’m just not gonna ever touch it

Matt

Watching back through Futurama it’s a bit distracting that Bill Clinton is the most recent face in the Hall of Presidents, surely they could’ve just made some guy up and been like “yeah he was president in the 23rd century”

Matt

Starfield is gonna be the thing that keeps me single through the holidays again, it’s definitely gonna be that and not anything to do with me as a person why would you even suggest that Karen doesn’t know what she’s missing out on

Matt

Half-Life 2 VR is a very fun experience and I think anyone who has the equipment should give it a shot

Supreme Court rules that Alabama’s congressional maps are a racial gerrymander, it’s a bit wild that only just now are they saying “yeah there might be some things wrong with Alabama”

Matt

Gavin Newsom is still a prick though I’m not apologizing for that

Matt

I would like to apologize to California for all the times I made fun of you for having so many forest fires, now I know what it’s like to live under the smokey skies

Matt

stuck between going for thick lines and looking different, or going for thin lines and looking neater (but also more like everyone else) http://rainbowdash.net/url/876362

Matt

the marvelous misadventures of flapjack is the most recent common ancestor of 90% of tv animation today

Matt

Trying to hit a balance on content is frustrating to me because I don’t want to be vulgar for the sake of it but I also don’t want to be made to tone the adult themes down because the show’s not vulgar enough to appeal to adults. It just seems like there isn’t a market anymore for The Simpsons-level adult content that’s adult on a more conceptual level instead of just relying on vulgarity to appear adult, and that frustrates me.

Matt

I mean hell if this script gets picked up it’s probably getting slapped with a TV-MA rating but most of the language is stuff you end up hearing in the MCU anyway and it’s seen as perfectly acceptable to take your kids to see that

Matt

the MPAA invented a new rating after Raiders of the Lost Ark showed a guy getting blended but we still haven’t figured out how to handle it when a cartoon character says “god damn”

Matt

The difference in rating standards between television and movies is staggering to me. A lot of swears that are ok for a PG-13 movie usually guarantee you a Mature Audiences rating on TV, although this is changing with time. Meanwhile, Groundskeeper Willie getting lit on fire and running around screaming is perfectly okay for the PG-rated Simpsons, but the same action had to be cut from Deadpool 2 for the PG-13 version. Nudity keeps your show from airing before 10 o’clock; but you can gather the kids to watch Tom Hanks stare at a chick’s bare ass in Splasj

Matt

Konami, now that you’re making video games again, can we please get Fox Engine remakes of Metal Gear 1 & 2 so I can play them without wanting to kill myself because of the obtuseness of 80s game design

Matt

Plane crashed in the area after flying over the White House no-fly zone and the owner is an NRA spokeswoman? Thoughts and prayers.

Matt

The teenagers working for me seemed to be under the impression they could just show up to work on their own schedule because I couldn’t possibly fire ALL of them, so today I fired all of them and now they’re super confused about it.

Matt

Yakuza: The Anime, but it’s an anthology series and each episode is Kiryu in a different dramatic genre. Western, sci-fi, horror, isekai…

Matt

when you’ve worked a full week by Wednesday and then you gotta keep working

Matt

…and I think I created my account when I was in the UK because all of my rates are in pounds which means that the licenses are actually more expensive than I think.
