It is really ironic reading Andy’s stance on political commentary in his books and seeing Ursula K. Le Guin’s author note on The Left hand of Darkness. While indirect and unintended, he did create some political commentary from PHM

@CapsGotFixed Again, Games costing more in Europe relative to your economy doesn’t negate that it is pricey for canadians after Nintendo adjusted the pricing in Canada last year. All of this is just relevant to how much the living wage is compared to economic costs.

@JohnM_81 I cant imagine the cost of living in Canada can be much higher than here in the Netherlands

"buy my cozy Pokemon themed game" "ok Nintendo" "$100" "no Nintendo"

Telling everyone how impressive my first gay bareback orgy was

@CapsGotFixed $100 bucks is a lot in this economy for how much cost of living is now in Canada. Games costing more in Europe relative to your economy doesn’t negate that it is pricey for canadians after Nintendo adjusted the pricing in Canada last year.

@LordMarkiquad This is litteraly cheaper than the European price lmao Canadians arent real

@LordMarkiquad Our only salvation for ninty prices in Canada is that they seem to have sales on nintendo gift cards now and then. I loaded up $200 worth of $50 cards in March when they were worth $40 bucks.

@lisavsworld My guess is people wouldn’t hate the ending if the movie’s execution of the last 15-20 mins was better. It felt like there were 3 “fake out” endings before we got to Erid so it felt more dragged out than it should be.

*SPOILER* People complaining about the ending of the film Project Hail Mary (or the book for that matter) do not understand the creative way Andy Weir employed and turned the Hero's Journey on its head (in a very effective way). Anyone who has studied the hero's journey knows that the beginning of his story begins with the main character's refusal of the call to action. The hero eventually does choose to go on their journey, slays the dragon, and returns home a changed version of himself. Project Hail Mary is cleverly told in both the main character's (Ryland Grace) present timeline, but also in a series of flashbacks. While this is a common storytelling trope, it is used well in both the book and the film. It is used to not just reveal hidden information, but to build tension and character motivation. The chronological story begins with Grace learning about astrophage and then explaining it to his students. He is at home here in his classroom and clearly loves what he does for a living. We are led to believe Grace's refusal to the call to action happens in his past when Stratt attempts to recruit him to study Astrophage. He then chooses the call when he asks her to continue studying it and officially joins the project's task force. However, the true refusal of the call is revealed later in the story. Grace is tapped to sacrifice his life and go to space to save the Earth. He refuses, dramatically so, and he is forced to go anyways. He never chooses this call. Grace later finally embraces the call once he has undergone his archetypal character change. He slays the dragon of his own low self-worth, finds someone and a purpose worth choosing the call for, saves Earth, does *not* return home, and instead chooses to save his friend's home planet instead. As Grace does not return to his home, the hero's journey only works if he returns to a version of that home in its place. Remember, his home is in the classroom. He has returned to what he loved (teaching), but as a better "changed" version of himself. Thinking that the story should not end here, shows a complete failure to understand the oldest narrative archetype and storytelling structure in human history.

@U3gut Cut from the movie but in the book she talks about how she’ll accept being the scapegoat and stand trial for forcing every government to cooperate for PHM’s success regardless of the short term cost to earth or any nation.

@ItsKenobi_ @DianaRhiannon @cerisehaleth @torvdunham @zosianovnas Where are yall getting this information from? Is the movie based on a book or something?

THE TATTOO OMGGSNKVUTOKQVIOHTim losing my mind

Nearly 1:1 remake of FES (only BS is the paid DLC for the Answer) but it doesn’t feel like Persona 3 ???????????

Oh shit, B.O.B. is going back to GoFundMe again to ask the people for a satellite to “prove” it is flat.

One of the first things we were taught in school in the Philippines was never trust Wikipedia as your only source of accurate information. That and the term Filipino being gender neutral lol.

@LAR9MS “Whopped” literally took the fight out of their primes and kept clinging onto Manny the entire fucking fight to win by decision. Dude has the fakest unbeaten record.

@Fight_Talk_ @ChampRDS Floyd already beat and whooped Mannys ass. He’d win again.

🚨 The Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao rematch is still ON, but Floyd Mayweather is reportedly in "breach of his contract" 😬 Floyd says the fight will be an exhibition, while Manny Pacquiao's team claims he's already "signed for a professional fight" Team Mayweather is pushing to switch the bout from a sanctioned professional fight to an exhibition, which is said to be one of multiple breaches of the contract "His team has had all the contracts. He signed all the contracts. We have the DocuSign proofs as well as wet signatures with his device ID, with his IP address, with everything there. If he's scared of Manny and he does not want to put his record on the line in a professional boxing match, not only should he have never executed any of these agreements, but he should just come out right and say it because Manny ain't scared. We wanted to do something that makes history and he wants to come around and try to change terms last minute because he thinks he can. No, he can't. Not happening." (via @AndreasHale)

Someone’s super catholic tita is gonna lose their shit at the end of this movie lol.

@Haurmeya I religiously loved this movie growing up but it’s just a stupidly fun watch at its core. I’m really looking forward to rewatching it on an OLED in 4k quality now.

i've never seen this movie but everyone i know that has swears that this is the second coming of sliced bread so i will be seated

@BRAP_Podcast Shit being expensive years ago doesn’t justify a price increase. Stop using the old unregulated gaming market prices to suck mega-corp cock.

For perspective only. Gaming has always been a luxury item. Take the launch of Nintendo Entertainment System at $199 in 1985. That's about $607 today. The PlayStation launched at $299 in 1995, which is roughly $641 today.

Man, I really hope we get 2-3 seasons of toxic red bull fans crashing out. This is entertaining enough lol

Bro I love these toxic MV fan accounts cuz they became the very whiny thing they laughed at from 2022-2025

@GreatDivineDog Yes, but doesn’t stop you from creating the mii called meatspin, just a censored name if they visit other places.

@NeoInFlames @misterduby the 3DS version DOES have a filter. i know this because apparently "meatspin" is one of the blocked words

The last Tomodachi Life absolutely had a filter, it was Miitomo where they gave up lol

@GenePark NBA 2K18

“crimson desert isn’t innovative” ok name another game that unlocks the barber 50 hours in

@NinjaGamesYt Baldurs Gate 3 lol

@hzjoe03 Show me any game with hidden walls that is not Dark Souls, Demon Souls or Elden Ring games in the past 10 years, i'll wait... Seen like the only one that plays only 2k and FIFA is the guy with a blue check.

This reads like someone playing their first game that isn’t 2K or FIFA
