With the Steam Summer Sale ongoing, here’s a reminder that you can get my bestselling IF game, The Parenting Simulator, for 34% off through July 13. It’s a great way to experience raising a child with a lot less exposure to sticky and/or stinky things. store.steampowered.com/app/1233720/Th…

@ActwithAlison A loving God cannot create a being knowing they will be damned to eternal suffering. To do so invalidates the concept of a loving God itself. So if there is a Hell, I think it must be designed to teach through its punishments. To render the fallen into something salvageable.

@tomgoeswest1 @ActwithAlison Counterpoint: Blockbuster was terrific because you could buy used movies and, later, games in the cheap. I built a collection of hundreds of movies and games doing the 3 for $20 and 4 for $20 DVDs and a bunch of $4.99 and $9.99 video games. I’ll always miss it.

Blockbuster is highly overrated. Let’s be real, it was corporate schlock. Locally owned, mom and pop video rentals spots were the shit. That’s the real nostalgia we’ve been craving. Blockbuster was ass, with those blue polo shirts. A video rental store should have a swarmy clerk behind the counter making sarcastic Kevin Smith references, not having just come in early to finally watch the corporate HR video on a 13” shitbox in the break room. If your video rental store didn’t have a porn section, obsfucated by beads or a saloon style door, then you probably aren’t all that nostalgic that there’s only one Blockbuster left in America, like it’s some kind of fucking relic.

#actioneight Great show as always, standout match was probably the Golden Class vs. Grayson and Rage. But between the uncertainty about more Tyrone shows and the loss of Action’s best promo cutter, it’s a bit of a downbeat ending. Hope to see @WrestleACTION1 again in Tyrone soon.

@whoppernaut The secret is they’re all the worst in different ways. The sequel trilogy is a race to the bottom where they are all winners/losers.

Everyone: Pragmata is the most wholesome parenting simulator ever! Me: Well, the most wholesome in the last five years, at least. #utm_medium=web&utm_source=usercontrib" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">choiceofgames.com/user-contribut… #pragmata #parentingsimulator

Saw Mario Galaxy with the kids today. It had a less cohesive story, but it sure didn’t lack for scope. 7/10, it’s fun and if that’s not enough to recommend a kid’s movie I don’t know what we’re doing here.

Why yes, fart jokes are proper literature. Good enough for Dante, at least.

@Karn_EX It was good but not great. Not unlike the even more unlikely clone of Star Wars Battlefront, LotR Conquest.

@Earths1stgamer Just as a FYI, it was the Scooby Doo thermos. Apparently most of the ones at the time were green. Orange was a lot more rare.

@nptoaster I’ll go with the Mickey Mouse baseball and my reason is I think those small bats aren’t expensive and the thermoses are kind of dinged up and worn.

Pickups from a small yard sale. One of these four items is worth over $50. The other three are nowhere close. Anyone able to guess which one is the prize?

@Earths1stgamer Actually, the lowest one. The only one I didn’t even list on eBay out of all of these, wasn’t even $5.

@Parvenu62 Yep, we scoop up old versions of the Dahl stuff whenever we can. As for Fleming, I finished that collection as a Bond-crazed preteen. It’s so disturbing to see an author’s work chopped like this, and it just means newer versions are incomplete.

This is also being done with Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, even Ursula K. Le Guin. It’s not right, and it should stop. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pop novel, a great work of the Western canon, or anything else — this should not be done. It breaks trust.

Started reading Pretty Little Liars (originally published in 2006) and I’m five pages in and they’ve updated it to include a TikTok reference…do I DNF?

@ActwithAlison "Drag Me to Hell" is still the scariest PG-13 movie I ever saw, and I love it even though I generally hate horror movies. So good.

Watching Oklahoma! for the first time with the girls. It’s insane how long this segment is where the main guy tries to convince his romantic rival to suicide. Like, this is really elaborate.

@LuisML345 Man, you’re trying to tell an actual Hollywood dude what happened in Hollywood. I think he’s going to know a bit more about when he actually spoke to these people his own self.

Star Wars Fake News 101: Gary Kurtz had something to do with the tonal direction and story of ESB. He didn't! He wasn't even present in the writing room. Empire was pure George Lucas with polished dialogue by Kasdan and Kershner's direction.
Patrick Read Johnson/Fan One@moonwatcher1

That's a pretty strong, and, sadly, wrong, opinion on Andor. Having conversed with everyone from George, to my producing partner, the late, great Gary Kurtz, to the best man at my wedding, John Knoll, who created the original story for Rogue One, about what Star Wars "is" or "isn't", I can tell you that you're in basic disagreement with all of those people. Did George and Gary disagree about the direction Star Wars should take when making Empire? Sure. George believed, and maintained that is was just supposed to be "fun"... and, yes, basically, for 12-year-olds. But 12-year-olds can handle more adult content, and 12-year-olds also grow up. If you want only Star Wars content that pleases 12-year-olds... You're basically asking your audience to REMAIN 12 YEARS OLD. If Gary and my old friend Irvin Kershner had accept that as the golden rule... We wouldn't have gotten Empire... And, very likely, anything AFTER it.
