Friendly reminder that “ANTIFA” is short for “anti-fascism.” Fascism is a form of authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition. Y’know, the opposite of freedom, liberty, and independence. Fascism is a bad thing. Fight it.
Fuck white supremacy and fuck all the cowards and scumbags who’d rather “yeah, but” “what about” and “actually” the idea than practice the most basic human empathy. Listen to and amplify marginalized voices. If this concept bothers you, you’re part of the problem.
Upcoming Pokémon titles:
- “Let’s Go, Pikachu!”
- “Hurry Up, Eevee!”
- “Kick It In The Ass, Mewtwo!”
- “Get In The Car, Geodude!”
- “You’re Making Me Late, Cubone!”
- “I Swear To God We’ll Leave Without You, Psyduck!”
In 2004, I tried to kill myself because I "couldn't do anything right."
Thankfully, suicide was yet another thing I couldn't do right.
I still suffer from depression, but I've got a mantra: "if you're going through Hell, keep going."
Keep going.

- The “Look Who’s Talking” where they get a bunch of dogs
Yesterday, I married my best friend in a beautiful, tasteful, classy ceremony.
(But I forgot to take pictures.)
So, drinking a screwdriver in her jean shorts and a bikini top, here’s....
[Extremely Borat] MAI WA~~~IFE!!!
I am so SO happy Ghost of Tsushima has a grainy black-and-white cinematic Kurosawa-vision mode. That was literally the first thing I said I wanted from it when it was revealed. This is gonna look incredible in HDR.
Thought we’d spice things up by adding another Scoville to the family. Now that I’m actually a dad I’m legally allowed to make bad puns like that, and also I think I get an entire shelf for hot sauce in the fridge door.
Trans rights are human rights.
Black lives matter.
Anyone going "Yeah, but" or "What about" over these concepts is at best an ignorant yard-waste bag of rancid potato salad, and at worst, a consciously hateful literal villain.
Be better! Let people live their lives!
We were going to see Spider-Man at 1 o’clock but that’s been postponed because my wife is really upset that she lost a bunch of progress in Pokémon because she didn’t save her game and now I’m really upset because I wanted to see Spider-Man
We’re in our thirties 🤦🏻♂️
If the Detective Pikachu trailer has you daydreaming about realistic Pokémon, familiarize yourself with
@arvalis
' work; he was a concept artist on the film, and did a ton of amazing fanart before that.
I converted a Captain Marvel Nick Fury action figure into Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction. Oh, and I made him a lil tiny Big Kahuna Burger.
Full step-by-step gallery here:
A lot of people legitimately didn't *get* this movie.
There are so many brilliant, subtle, and deliberate touches that are totally overlooked by people who are entrenched in the lore but oblivious to the cinematic/cultural significance of Star Wars.
After the meticulously built-up, years-in-the-making, exhuastingly high stakes of Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones, I'm SO excited for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, a film where large nonsense animals kick each others' asses for no goddamn reason except they feel like it.
Proper viewing order for the Blade movies:
Blade
Blade II
Blade Runner
Blades of Glory
Sling Blade
Blade Trinity
Zorro: The Gay Blade
Blade Runner 2049
WHAT'S UP GAMERS?! ARE YOU PUMPED FOR RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2, THE UPCOMING ACTION PACKED OPEN-WORLD ACTION GAME FOR PLAYSTATION 4™ AND XBOX ONE™?!
...Well, you might also enjoy these serene 150-year-old landscape paintings by Albert Bierstadt, pioneer of the luminism movement.
Things from Star Wars I wish I had in real life:
- The Force
- Spaceships
- A Lightsaber
- The ability to wear a poncho and mid-calf boots every day without looking like an idiot
Eight years ago today, I went on a date with this beautiful, weird, funny girl named Jenn. Since then we’ve built a beautiful, weird, funny life together and she’s made the daunting process of growing up whole a lot less scary. I‘m so excited to marry her.
Stop retweeting idiots just to dunk on them, the chess robot that runs this website thinks that means the idiots are fun and cool and more people should hear from them. 🙃
Hey, if you’re the type of person who leaves comments on content on the internet, try to be extra nice right now. Nothing’s really going great for anybody, and everyone’s doing their best.
If you don't believe systemic racism is real and prevalent after watching a bunch of white domestic terrorists storm the Capitol to take selfies and steal a podium with no police intervention, you're either stupid, willfully ignorant, full-on racist, or some combination thereof.
If kids being separated from their parents and put in camps doesn't alarm you, work on it.
Ever get lost in a department store as a child?
Imagine that, but with cages, guards, a language barrier, and your parents in another country.
It's SICKENING that this is even a debate.
Just got my engagement photos back from
@averytingwong
, who did an incredible job even though
@gennhaver
and I are cartoon idiots who don't take anything seriously.
Google's Stadia will inevitably have growing pains, but acting like it'll NEVER work is a myopic unimaginative caveman take. Gmail, YouTube, the iPad, Netflix and Steam seemed like impractical witchcraft initially. Think bigger. Video games used to only have wired controllers.
There’s been so much bad news this year I didn’t really know how to process a non-catastrophic outcome. Like, it took me several hours to comfortably feel happy about it. It’s been surreal seeing so many people celebrating something for a change, but I really needed it.
Guardians of the Galaxy is such a phenomenally endearing, gorgeous game. It's got some Telltale and Bioware game DNA, but a Deus Ex level of detail and a sense of humor we don't see often enough from AAA projects. Plus, Dazzler and Chewbacca are in it, sort of.
In addition to “normal” engagement photos, we also got some Star Wars ones done by my buddy Christian DeOliveira, who normally takes saucy bedroom photos for adults.
Check out his IG:
All other bullshit aside, I think Cyberpunk 2077 has clicked for me. It's not everything I'd hoped for, but when it's running on all cylinders it frequently gives me Fallout 3 and/or GTA V vibes, two games I really wish I could play for the first time all over again.
Here's my totally edgy Superman pitch: Superman saves people, beats up the bad guys, is paragon of truth and justice and all around great guy who offers us a brief glimmer of faith in humanity albeit under completely fantastical circumstances because sometimes you need that.
POSSIBLE REASONS MY BACK HURTS:
- I’m 32
- I’m 6’6”
- I slouch
- I’m out of shape
- Too much sitting AND/OR standing
- That economy window seat on Spirit airlines
- Stress
- Skeleton poisoning
- The inevitable heat death of the universe
- Some sort of parasitic larva
- No reason
The Academy Awards have been horseshit for a very long time but the absence of any due recognition for Paddington 2 demonstrate they are horseshit perpetrated by actual villains masquerading as human beings and/or film lovers and no I will not calm down
Hey, remember at the end of The Wolverine when they finally showed the yellow costume, and then he never wore it?
Or, remember at the end of X-Men Apocalypse, when they showed X-Men wearing actual X-Men costumes... And they never wore them again?
That was wild. Welp. Anyway. 👀
Hey, Americans: Are you registered to vote?
Are you SURE you're registered to vote?
You should double-check right now, just to make sure you can vote.
Elections are coming up, and you should vote.
Welp anyway here's the President with an Eagle. 🇺🇸
Yes: there are shitty, problematic agitators turning peaceful protests into violent riots. The reason there are protests in the first place is police brutality. There are “very bad people on both sides,” but only one side is firing government-funded rubber bullets at citizens.
I’ve been saying it since Iron Man 2, but Marvel movies aren’t “movies” in a conventional sense. They’re big-budget serials. The MCU is the most expensive and ambitious TV show in history, just without the TV part, and that’s fine! But they don’t work as standalone films anymore.
In Spider-Man on PS4, you can press square when Spidey's on the street, and he'll cheerfully greet NPC bystanders or crack jokes. They really nailed the "friendly neighborhood" aspect of his character.
If you're playing
#WatchDogsLegion
keep an eye out for these totally real high level NPCs to recruit that once again I assure you are 100% actually in the game and real
Season 1 of The Boys was fun because it took the piss out of superheroes at a time when, gosh, there sure were a lot of superhero movies.
Season 2 of The Boys is fun because it aggressively shits all over white supremacist fascism in America and we really need that right now.
