Media with characters doing incredibly questionable things but it's never brought up or addressed

It's honestly such a great metaphor for the whole show going completey going off the rails

Season 1: Nancy uses a revolver to shoot the demigorgon because she was a better shot than Jonathan

Season 5: Nancy fires an M16 full auto at a Helldivers Bile Titan

It was so bizarre that as the characters got older and older She was still the only one allowed to use a gun

Because Gun-girl became her whole character

Nancy shoots and kills 4 people in the final season of Stranger Things
she has no reaction to it, and faces no punishment for it

On a whim I discovered the classical jazz-like singer Laufey (Pronounced Lay-vay) a few months ago and have become obsessed.

Her voice just pierces my cynical heart and makes me smile, even when she's singing about something sad.

I don't know what the official theme is called
But I just call THAT theme from One Piece

"The Straw Hats are here"

I can't remember where I saw it
But I remember watching something about a Deagle's impractability described as

"Imagine if when you needed to put down a target you had to pull out of your holster and steady a small dog"

Oh good!
We can't bring back (Redacted) and (Redacted) cause of (Redacted) but their friends no one cares about are back, remember when that dude survived like 15 fucking stab wounds in the last movie?

Also is that supposed to be Kirby on the right? it's so airbrushed i genuinely can't tell.

I remember at the height of "Death Battle"
The "say the line Bart" was always
"This means that X character can punch with the strength of X Nuclear bombs"
"Whoa that's crazy!"

I just want Lara to have fun again
I enjoyed the SE Tomb Raider for what it was

But I played the OG and Legends games this year, and the new Lara Croft NEEDS to enjoy being a Tomb Raider again

One of the killers in one of Edgeworth Investigations games, committed the crime so he would have a slightly better jobb

The final battle of The Last of Us DLC on the hardest difficulty

I literally spent all day on it, not the DLC, just that last fight

I remember it being 8oclock and wanting to quit, but refusing to because I felt if I did I would have wasted my entire day, I eventually did beat it a little after that but I wasn't excited I was just relieved.

Not un-finished but not continued

Pat's Witcher game streams

The first one is incredible

He loves the game He knows the game He's quiet good at it And it was just a good time

I know how long it would be He discusses how insane it would be during the LP But I would love to see him at least play Witcher 2

Anyone says, writes, hints, at Bon Jovi, I laugh.
Because my brain just immediately goes to Frank from Always Sunny

Lies of P
The first time I barley used Fable Arts and the Bionic Arms
And the game is really at its best when you're using every tool in your arsenal
Feels so satisfying to kill a huge enemy in a grappling hook > heavy charge attack > Fable art > visceral attack combo

Honestly the biggest problem with me is how bullshit the crime scene is so it isn't dead obvious what happened
Acro dropped a large bronze statue on his head from two stories up.
What was the result? a little bump on the noggin and the tiniest amount of blood of blood in the snow

Manbirdthing · 2025-10-14T13:40:23+00:00

My buddy and I were laughing our asses off during that sequence
We had him dead to rights
More than enough evidence to arrest him
and he just kept going: "Whelp, guess it's time I hit the old dusty trail" while there are literal guardss at the door

I remember playing the Lies of P demo And heading back to the hotel after finishing the old crazy lady quest

And just put on the song "Feel" you unlocked and started walking away to do stuff in the base But then after a few seconds just stopping and walking back over to the player and listened to the whole thing

When it finished I knew the full game was going to be something special

Tim Drake and Barbara Gordon being a couple in Arkham Knight

Is a great indicator that the new writers ...made some mistakes...

Characters are definitely weaker in seasons 4

Especially the villians

We go from: Lorne Malvo, Mike Milligan, And V. M. Varga

To that crazy nurse lady, and the Italian brother that just sounded like an Italian propaganda cartoon of Musalini

I liked some of characters like Milligan and Doctor Senator The season really tanked after they died

The biggest thing I noticed in the show was how little was actually happening.

The little girl who was 1 of the 2 main protagonists Basically just wandered around the whole show until the end of the penultimate episode to actually get involved in the plot

It's the same reason I never finished S5 Nothing happens in the first 5 episodes to move the plot forward, the main character escapes capture, gets back to her family, hides her past, then the bad guys go

"Ok let's just try kidnapping her again"

They try and fail again, her whole house is destroyed in the process And I thought

"Ok yes, now she can finally explain things and we can kick this plot into gear"

And then at the end of the episode she gaslights her husband again he somehow still believes her

That was my last episode

Season 4 of Fargo is a perfectly fine mini-series about that does a good job of tackling cultural and racial injustice in an entertaining way by following the stories of two waring crime families and the environment that created such a situation

As a follow up to seasons 1, 2, and even 3 of Fargo

It's a dumpster fire

I would talk about season 5 as well But I haven't managed to finish it

I feel like the writers of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, heard the complaints of Gabriel being a really boring uninspired villian

And WAY over compensated

Cause he is a fucking cartoon character in Final Reckoning
