"We would have given up and returned these cards to my partner’s grandmother if not for the lifetime of internal shame we would carry with us as a result of quitting here." It's more shameful to go through the process outlined here than to just not do it. Remember this.

I sold $16K in Pokémon cards and it fucking sucked aftermath.site/pokemon-card-s...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, SCOOBY DOO! (2020) opens with a nifty credit scene done in one-long locked off take that segueways into a villain reveal that made me go "Wait. What? They can do that?"

Disgusted to watch Shaggy and Scooby eat candy with the wrappers on... but I was surprised to learn that the catchy 60's style bubblegum pop song that plays over the opening is an original that was recorded for the movie! Explains why there's a refrain of it later on near the end of the picture.

Don't vote for that guy. He sucks so much.

Good morning, Toronto. As places like Brazil and Serbia showed us this weekend, voting does matter. Elections matter. So please go out there and vote. And if you need help deciding, check out @thelocal.to's fact-checked resource, The Candidate Tracker. thelocal.to/candidate-tr...

RIP Eric Bauza, one of the greatest of all time. Did almost every single one of those voices in Coyote vs Acme. Someone who clearly loved these characters so much that he wasn't just doing Mel Blanc, he made them his own.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Loved reading BARBARIC: A comic series that is essentially what if Conan had the attitude of Hellboy, and was forced to do good deeds by a talking blood hungry axe.

FATHER-IN-LAW TO MY SON: Oh, you like this guitar? I could play a song for you I'm working on... SON: Okay! Father-in-law plays Wonderwall on guitar. ME: Hey!!!!

Went to go pick up my wife's running kit for the Niagra Falls 10k and was surprised to see people dressed as the cast of Rocky Horror were walking through the parking lot "That takes dedication!" Then we saw a Jason, a Chucky and a Terrifier. "Oh, horror convention" Archie really wanted popcorn.

My favourite gaming systems at the moment: 1. STEAM DECK 2. AYN THOR (LOOKS DOWN THE LIST) 10. SWITCH 2 Those wobby controllers are the Switch 2 always bug me.

Not on my 2026 bingo card: Legendary actor Tetsuro Tamba's totally baffling quasi-religious cult film The Great Spirit World: What Happens When You Die is getting a 4K remaster that will screen as part of the Tokyo International Film Festival on 10/27. Takashi Miike will host a talk session after.

Things you will learn by listening to my commentary on NO ESCAPE: -Why Did Hong Kong Have a More Commercial Movie Industry Than Taiwan? -Why Does an Actor Sound Like Doraemon? And why does Doraemon sound like Sammo Hung?

ME: Wow. It's so bold in CASTLEVANIA: BELMONT'S CURSE that when you get to Dracula the screen just goes black... Ah, wait a minute... This is a bug and I can't proceed in the game!

Surprisingly, this happens on the Steamdeck AND on my computer. Come on Konami, get this fixed! It also happens when I try to use certain fast travel mirror.

I wonder what my life would be like if my Dad didn't teach me the basics of using command prompts as a kid... So many things would be out of reach if I didn't know how to CD to go into a directory to run a command line tool.

And to be clear, while I wanted to program as a kid, I tried to teach myself qbasic, visual bassic, C++, and.. because I wanted to write interctive fiction... Inform - none of it ever took, I just don't have a coding brain, and would be driven mad by missing ";"

This post inspired by having to re-donwload an entire podcast RSS feed, and discovering that the GUI software I could find didn't do it right (The title would be wrong), but a command line tool did!

With PROPELLER MAN, you can feel Dark Horse trying to level-up the "deluxe" idea of comics in the wake of Image and the like with a cardstock cover and... GLOSSY PAGES! $2.95 US is pretty high for a comic in 1993. On the back of issue 2, we also get an advertisement for their superhero line:
