Noah Wyle has been named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive of 2026.

might have trouble remembering anything from my actual master's program class, but at least i can see that a game called Chef Knight came out and immediately think "why didn't they call it Chefvalier?"

I still need work clothes for my new job so I'm running a spooky season Halloween sale for 25% off all of my non sticker items on Etsy! CODE: SPOOKYSALE

i tell you what, we're up to our neck in out-of-towners who think they can seekest mine treasure! then we find 'em ass-halfway in mine labyrinth of beguiléd deception going "ooh ooh i'm stuck!", and i have to be the one to shout "hey cityboy! ya ain't performed thine seven ablutions of clarity yet!"

calling myself a fake pornography fan for mostly watching cumshot compilations- the Ending Explained videos of porn i mean, they don't have much explanation, but they do have a lot of endings

in the grand scheme of plane games, i'm happier to have AC8 than not, but i hope this was more of an experiment for project aces than the baseline they're going with into the future also the online mode is whatever. maybe do a full co-op campaign if you're gonna make a season pass at me like this

if you want me to care about this many variants of the F/A-18 and F-15, then you should put the railguns and lasers back on them. license some freak planes if you're not gonna stack the roster with more of your cool original designs. also make the first d-pad input choose one or all wingmen to order

i rolled credits on ace combat 8's campaign a couple of days ago. on the whole, i can say i had a great time, and i could easily point to a bunch of moments that really exemplified what i like about ace combat as a whole. it also excels at delivering another soundtrack filled with total bangers but

the first-person parts were novel, but it felt like they were conceived separately from the story and didn't really achieve anything the previous ace combat games' pre-rendered cinematics couldn't. i also felt like they scaled back the action from AC7? and sure i didn't mind, but i did always notice

"i feel like if you had to choose between me or that other person, you're not gonna choose me" okay well i feel like you think we're all way more likely to end up in a madman's deadly game than we really are

making people join your discord for a vibe-coded project sounds like one of the most pathetically desperate attempts at making friends i've ever seen

i salute romhackers who make stuff like "remove a stray pixel on the title screen of this arcade game's worst home port" far more than anyone who pretends they translated a cult classic

i mocked vibe-coded decomps in a discord and some guy fired back with "do you know how many hundreds of hours a decomp takes without AI?", to which i said "that's fine", because making hybrid heaven run at 60fps or whatever isn't something crucial we've all sorely missed in the decades since release

i've said it before, but going back to ornstein and smough phase 1 really feels like two random enemies were dropped into a room with no interesting interplay between them. the music, presentation, and phase 2 gimmick are really great, but that first part never feels like there's a cool way to do it

not really a job but i was gonna apprentice with a rap producer in north carolina. he put one of my songs where i did the main melody with bass synth and it sounded like total ass in his studio, so i told my family i was coming home after all

Thinking about how Lament of Innocence has one of the funniest "guy falls down a bottomless pit and dies" screams in gaming, even though there's only 2 rooms in the entire game where you could even do that

considering how its reveal trailer made me think "oh we're not getting another onimusha, are we?", i'm surprised that capcom went with monster hunter rise outfit DLC for onimusha: way of the sword instead of kunitsu-gami

the four tech spec categories are "Connectivity" which states what platforms it connects to wirelessly, "Compatible with" which says what platforms it connects to, "Includes" to restate that it's a wireless controller, and "Battery" which tells you it has a rechargeable battery fifty dollars please
