update: I have chosen to leave Nebula. no beef, no schism, it's a platform full of good people. just wasn't working for me as well as being fully independent. announcements soon on what "fully independent" will look like. Patreon remains the best way to support me! patreon.com/InnuendoStud...

dunno about "worst" but the most miserable filmgoing experience was seeing Attack of the Clones opening night and hating it in a room full of fans screaming in appreciation
that is, factually, not as bad as the midnight screening of an old 70's 3D porno my friends and I went to so we could say we went to a midnight screening of an old 70's 3D porno, but you go into 70's 3D porno with different expectations
I don't think Endgame is a worse movie than Attack of the Clones, but Attack of the Clones is bad in more interesting ways. I could talk at length about what makes the prequels interesting fiascos. I would rather chew my arm off than have a conversation about Endgame with anyone.

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

vibes around George Lucas were trending positive, people passing around that vid of him and James Cameron likening the Rebellion to the Viet Cong, folks saying - for all their faults - the prequels had something to say about how democracy turns fascist, but then Lucas had to open his fuckin mouth

realized one particular bubble I'm in upon seeing Perfect Tides - a game I considered to have made "a splash" because so many people in my circles were talking about it - has only ~300 reviews on Steam anyway here's my review www.grouvee.com/user/167841-...
be aware that my grouvee reviews, much like my letterboxd reviews, are written very off-the-cuff, very unmasked adhd, and you will learn my thoughts on Perfect Tides but very little context
as my videos get more and more in-depth, my game and movie reviews have become "write only what is interesting to me to write, in this moment, and stop as soon as I get bored"

Double Fine being let go by Xbox means Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and Day of the Tentacle rereleases may be BDS-compliant now so, you know silver linings?
assuming Xbox didn't keep the rights to anything if you've been holding off on buying shit from any of the companies let go because of No Games for Genocide, now would be a great time to get them, cuz they could probably use the capital

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Locking up an autistic kid in a mental hospital for life for leaking a clip of a game is bullshit. Guess I'm never playing a Rockstar game again.
seems like the appeal of AI is being able to blame shoddy work on the machine that did it for you no, it doesn't make things better, but it's nominally nobody's fault that it sucks

I work with people new to gamedev, the more someone used AI before the higher risk they -cut corners -don't take time to learn skills -won't ask for help -underestimate what other people know -negative value to team, slowdown -can't evaluate info quality -weak follow through hard to undo AIs damage
one of the essential qualities of capitalism is to declare "here's how the system works!" and, also, "here's whose fault it is that it's not doing that!"
AI is just another instance of capitalism doing what it does instead of what it's "supposed" to do

Great American State Fair evacuation was a disaster and took over an hour. There is no structure or order outside the venue, even as people crowd and try to line back up. People are upset and saying they’re going home. No matter what happens now, today is ruined for a lot of families who came here.

Mala Petaka is fun but too easy I have played it twice, once on normal and once on hard. normal, I had two deaths the white campaign; I cannot BELIEVE there are two difficulty settings below normal. hard occasionally feels like a proper game but I still beat the final boss first try.
Petaka dev, if you see this: you have five difficulty settings, it's ok for the higher ones to be actually hard! what is currently normal should be easy, or even very easy. something to consider for episode 2!
^whole campaign, not white campaign if any of you thought I meant something by "white campaign," I didn't
Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.

defending Will Stancil will not fix him

when you're watching a YouTube video on your phone, and you tab out to check a different app, and when you go back to YT it takes you to the homescreen so you have to find the video in your history and resume does it count that as a separate view?
cuz, if you tab back and the video is still there, paused, instead of going to the homescreen, you can just resume but if you have to grab it from your history, it plays ads before starting

You couldn't make The Office today. This is because television is a dead medium. If they tried to make The Office today it would be named like, "The Paper" and it would have been running since 2025 on Peacock but you wouldnt have even heard of it because who has any idea what's running on "Peacock".
