    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    Knowing that there are people either not aware of the post-credits scenes or not bothering to watch them does make it feel a little more special. More like an actual hidden thing that only the superfans are privy to.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Guarantee like 50% of the site's addicts users will just VPN their way in rather than brave the scawwy world that is the rest of the internet.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Yeah, any law against boycotts is so unenforceable they might as well be passing laws that ban having liberal thoughts. Oh wait, that's literally what a law against boycotts is, because the only thing that differentiates a boycott from any other buying decision is what motivated it.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    I don't even remember there being any songs besides that one.

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    You mean fake surrenders that are a trap? (Which is a common enough thing that there's a word for it, "perfidy", and it is also a war crime for reasons that should be obvious.) The answer could honestly be anywhere from "as often as they think they can get away with it, because obviously nothing...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Killing people who are waving white flags is a war crime, but I'm not sure what the rules are for assigning responsibility. Like, I doubt this one incident would be enough to make the entire nation of Israel "guilty of war crimes" as far as the UN is concerned, but I wonder what the threshold is...

    E3 is officially dead.....

    Atari was old enough that they spent a lot of time flying blind in a brand new market, and got stuck being the one to make the mistakes everyone else would get to learn from. Like, maybe there's a more ergonomic way to add more buttons to your controller than bolting an entire telephone's number...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Then his heirs will just have to pay it out of their inheritance, I'm pretty sure. And if it's more that he'd just rather die than suffer the indignity of having to pay up personally, then he'd better do it, and decrease the surplus population!

    E3 is officially dead.....

    This, by the way, is the exact same mistake Nintendo narrowly avoided about a decade later. The DS was originally going to come out alongside some new handheld system that would be the actual intended replacement for the Game Boy Advance, with the DS being aimed more at the casual market. But...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Oh hey, I remember those two from the hearings last summer. Good for them! Not to be a downer about it, but if they're smart they'll use the money to pay it forward and foot the legal bills for others who are seeking justice in cases like this, because being a hundred-millionaire is definitely...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    So, never then.

    E3 is officially dead.....

    People were calling E3 an irrelevant relic over a decade ago. And by "people" I mean the very same journalists and critics who nonetheless devoted the whole week to covering every single thing that was said and done there. (Looking at you, Yahtzee.) I'm just glad game studios are no longer under...

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    They kind of put all the interesting action scenes at the beginning. Which, hey, isn't nothing; it basically gave them a reason to put their facemapping tech through its paces and prove that it was mature enough to carry the best part of a movie rather than just a couple of brief shots. The only...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    I think (selective) respect for their fellow man is what's motivating it. Seriously, can we not just write both sides of this conflict off as evil and be done with it? Is there some reason we have to give either of them the benefit of the doubt, ever? I don't mean the entire Israeli and...

    Baldur's Gate

    Also Wizards have been on a "no creature that walks on two legs can be just an evil monster, because that's no better than literal real-world racism" kick lately so I'm sure playable gnolls are just a matter of time.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Well, I guess this proves me wrong then, too. Twitter can't be that much of a hellsite if this is what an AI trained on nothing but its content looks like. Remember when Microsoft tried to make a social media bot a few years back and it acted like a 4channer? They must have trained it off Xbox...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    How soon is the special election to fill Santos's seat? Are they both going to be vacant for a long enough time to pass some bill that only 99% of Republicans are going to vote against? EDIT: OK, 96% to be precise.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I would have preferred they take the franchise somewhere new for a change, especially since Miami isn't exactly all that culturally relevant these days (and wasn't even in 2003, hence the 1980s throwback), but Florida as a whole sure is. If there were ever a time to go back to the "map contains...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Yeah if Bibi somehow managed to just take the money and run, like Trump might, that would actually be an improvement over what he's probably actually going to spend most of it on.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    The only thing that surprises me is that it was so close. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the roughly-half that tried to scrub the records included more people who had voted for the clause than against it. I know who I'd be more afraid of pissing off.
