Worst Wrestlemania I can remember, good fucking Lord. Seen more of Hogan than the wrestling wrestlers.
Anyone watching this wrestlemania not on Netflix? Are you getting promo packages in the ad breaks?
you're laughing, the warring triad has been absorbed and you're laughing
I cannot handle the Northernlion cruise being cancelled, this is the funniest thing to ever happen
which part of this entire thing was a bit? impossible to know.
god bless antony starr
me wearing a t-shirt that says "I am the big rat that makes all of the rules" and has various good pictures of rats on it
take note
A horrific AI simulacrum of a generic white man who’s supposed to be Pete Hines.
Looks like right wing moron Calvin Robinson’s site, God is a Geek, has been sold to some iGaming AI slop factory. Meet, erm, Pete Hines?
Scottish Greens manifesto is out, compare and contrast
oh yes please I have nobody to give these things to
okay second Q if I run out of balls am I in the "give them money" zone or can I spend one of these 900 currencies on them (other than pokecoins)
Okay yeah I’m getting the hang of it now. If anything it’s more consistent than the straight throws I was doing before.
@mattreyn.games matt should I be curve balling in pokemon go, it makes me feel very stilly
They’re calling him Bash Kattchet
yeah, there's definitely a slight air of "sorry, we have proof this isn't how it would go now" in the first couple of episodes. It's not terrible, and I don't think it's significantly worse than the last couple of seasons.
Hopefully the stuff with Sage not really having a master plan is also a setup, cuz nothing about her character seems to make any sense right now.
It's just a bit confused, I think. Like I said, lost in the weeds.
Like the point is that The Deep is pathetic, but they don't push it far enough. The point is that Homelander is a fascist losing his grip on what he thinks defines him, but that isn't really an interesting parody of society, or giving the storyline any real pep. Could be set up, but idk.
First couple of episodes of The Boys S5 watched. I think it's pushing up against the dual problem of attempting to parody America while being part of an American corporation and in the American Hollywood sphere, and trying to maintain being funny/gross. It really feels like it's lacking teeth.
however will donnie wriggle his way out of this one
Also, Anthony Starr. Just put him in everything. Never let him play a good guy, either. Born to be a piece of shit.
Hell of a thing to come out of a shitty, mean-spirited little comic book written by a psychopath. And I LIKE the comic, I think it's fun and brutal and better at what it does than the show is, while being worse in every other conceivable way.
Crossed next?
The Boys finishes tomorrow. While I think it got lost in the weeds of its own spinoffs and some of the shock-humour, plus it's a deep shame the final season was written before the 2024 election, nothing's encapsulated the last 5-10 years of politics-n-TV better.
the Warframe bit everyone talks about in hushed tones and won't tell anyone who hasn't played the game about is a pretty good bit, in fairness
yeah, idk if that's meant to be where it gets my money but I have just been leaving it and doing other stuff. Remarkably F2P tbh.
I haven’t played Destiny because I didn’t like it when I tried but they strike me as pretty different games tbh.
