mexico genuinely has one of the best stadiums at this world cup, but they’re not getting the hype they deserve. that view is absolutely insane man.🇲🇽

I wholeheartedly recommend this game to everyone. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. It’s short and $4.99. Go but it!!!

Honestly
the best thing about not being anti-DEI is that i get to play and enjoy both "woke" AND "non-woke" games because i'm not a whiny little baby ass bigot bitch

The internal rift in @RedSox is blowing up. 🚨 Lance Dobbins—father of former Red Sox pitcher @HunterD_20 just absolutely torched @CraigBreslow and the front office on social media.
He didn't hold back, fiercely defending pitching coach Andrew Bailey while placing 100% of the blame for the team's struggles and pitching limitations on the analytics department. According to Dobbins, "people behind computers" are dictating the pitches, forcing the coaching staff to operate "with one hand tied behind their backs."
He completely slammed the organization's heavy reliance on Driveline, calling it "the answer to everything, but winning games!"
Most notably, he pointed out that the constant wave of pitcher ailments and hitter wrist/hand injuries (like Roman Anthony's torn finger ligament) isn't "pure bad luck"—it's a direct byproduct of the front office's rigid, spreadsheet-driven training methods. Meanwhile, Hunter Dobbins was traded to the Cardinals for Willson Contreras and immediately found success after throwing his sinker again.
The pressure on Breslow's analytic-heavy culture is officially reaching a boiling point. 💣

Jack Antonoff remains one of the few big-name acts willing to openly criticize the concert industry.

“Why is it so complicated to buy a concert ticket? Why can't I get a straight answer of where the ticket’s coming from, or if it even exists? They want us confused. They want us freaked out.”

The "Mixtape is an Ellison nepo baby project" discourse is peak modern internet: pure, unadulterated grift fueled by people who would rather manufacture outrage than open a single Wikipedia tab.

Let's actually look at the reality of how this game got made.

Mixtape wasn't cooked up in a Hollywood boardroom. It’s the brainchild of Johnny Galvatron. Johnny is an Australian musician who used to front the punk rock band The Galvatrons. In 2017, he stepped away from the band to found his own studio, Beethoven & Dinosaur.

His first game? The Artful Escape. It was a masterpiece that won massive critical acclaim, secured BAFTA nominations, and proved Johnny’s unique voice in the industry. That proven track record and creative success is exactly what landed them the funding for Mixtape.

But sure, let’s ignore years of indie hustle, actual musical pedigree, and an award-winning debut just to chase engagement with a lazy narrative. Do better.

I'm gonna' be blunt, after RE4, RE5, RE7, & the upcoming Zach Cregger Resident Evil movie, I am so fucking tired of the "but it's not Resident Evil-" crap. I honestly think Capcom, & indeed I suspect Zach Cregger, have a better understanding of what RE is than many fans do.

The woman who inspired Before Sunrise never saw the movie. She died in a motorcycle accident seven weeks before filming even started.

Richard Linklater met Amy Lehrhaupt in a toy shop in Philadelphia in 1989. They spent the whole night walking the city from midnight to 6am talking about everything, and he turned that one night into a script. Took him 11 days. The casting search lasted nine months. Jennifer Aniston auditioned before she ever got Friends, and Gwyneth Paltrow tried out too. The role went to Julie Delpy.

Amy died on May 9, 1994. She was 24. Linklater kept waiting for her to show up at a screening, maybe tap him on the shoulder and say “Hey, that was our night.” He waited through the premiere. Waited through the sequel nine years later. Didn’t find out she was gone until 2010, when a friend of hers put the pieces together and wrote him a letter.

He kept making the films. Brought Hawke and Delpy back every nine years, letting them age on screen in real time. Before Sunset (2004) was shot in 15 days for $2 million. Before Midnight (2013), same thing, 15 days, under $3 million. That last one is dedicated to Amy. All three films together cost $7.5 million to make and earned $61.5 million worldwide, and both sequels got nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The entire trilogy cost less than a single Janet Jackson music video that Kahn himself directed.

The Library of Congress added Before Sunrise to the National Film Registry earlier this year. It’s now one of 925 films the government considers worth keeping forever. Linklater turned a single night with a woman he’d never see again into an 18-year trilogy. He just didn’t know the “never” part when he started.

Weirdly, today I feel like I can actually breathe?
This is one of the most disgusting things I've seen, but look at the response! Slaughtered in the comments, stock prices plummeting... I always suspected it would swing back this way, I'm just so relieved. Burn it to the ground!

[MrMattyPlays @G27Status]

@NVIDIAGeForce LOL. We've reached the point of diminishing returns in game visuals where companies have convinced themselves that some freaky AI filter that slaps an artistic direction in the face is progress worth sharing.
