If I've done this correctly, this link should take you to the internet archive page for the Marx Brothers' film Horse Feathers, from 1932. If you're up for watching some unexpectedly charming weirdos from almost a century ago bop around the realms of college and football, having fun and leaving chaos in their wake, this just might suit your tastes pretty well

e: they have Monkey Business too, hell yeah

the collector's edition statue is a woman this time and gamers are really mad about it. i'm not endorsing the purchase since ubisoft is a horrible company just like 100% of publicly traded companies and 99.99% of all companies. But if you were going to buy the game anyway and you have a lot of money or you're dumb or collect pretty much anything or any other reason, then go hog wild with this information, and perhaps use social media to exclaim your excitement about the cheap little tiny statue being a lady

i have to edit this post to clarify that i am not saying any of the above directly to jerusalem but using their post as a jumping off point about the subject

Gamers are seriously gross and hate women more than anyone on earth. I have no idea how the culture got so bad so quickly. I play a ton of games but am also diametrically opposed to everything the typical "gamer" does, thinks, or likes.

$25 seems a little steep for a game that is presumably 1-2 hours with little replay value. What's your take?

I'm insanely biased and have been waiting for this game for 25 years and would have paid $125 for it, but I would agree with most reviews in saying that it rips. The main game is around two hours, yeah, but to unlock all the extra characters requires you to best it on multiple difficultly levels, both alone and in co-op, and learn the fighting styles of the whole roster so there's plenty of replay value for me.

The soundtrack is the best game soundtrack of the year as well. Just a perfectly crafted love letter to fans of the series and the series itself.

groucho and woody allen were penpals for quite a long time, and throughout the entire exchange, groucho referred to him as "WW". he never once told woody allen what "WW" stood for. But it stood for wittle wiener. he hated woody allen with a burning passion and just about everything he ever said in any of his letters was complete sarcasm which woody took at face value as his dimwitted nature would foretell.

A Night at the Opera here. Depending on when you catch me, it's my favorite comedy of all time (sometimes it's Clue, sometimes it's Hot Fuzz, sometimes it's Airplane!).

I also enjoy Brain Donors just to see John Turturro channeling Groucho.

KISS ME KRIS

so this week in my quest to decolonize myself I flipped on telesur and watched a decentish 30 minutes bit about Cuba's involvement in the liberation of Angola. Lotta secondary and tertiary source references set off my bullshit alarm but the idea of sending a battalion with mechanized elements to defeat apartheid sounds badass. I wish they talked more about how they got poo poo there because that's a huge story they glossed over. You don't just throw a bunch of weapons poo poo onto rando boats, send it across international waters without incident.

According to Wikipedia it was a mix of an aging fleet of 3 planes and commandeering their merchant marine to move equipment and troops.

My theory is that historically gaming is something that the socially maladroit did. People who grew up with bad social skills tended to be socially isolated and/or have bad formative experiences with girls/women. Any resentment/hostility that lurked within them became manifest when, again the internet brought people together and 'gamers' could indulge their worst impulses with each other instead of growing as people. And by the time the younger, maybe not quite as socially inept, group joined the discussion the culture was already toxic and people either mired themselves in it or disengaged with it. Also gaming is a big thing for people with the tendency to hyperfixate. Hyperfixation leads to obsession, obsession leads to extreme defensiveness and hostility. Also probably having negative interactions with the opposite sex in one's formative years.

And...I get it. I know it. I feel it in my bones. I've shared my story before and I would be lying if I told you I felt no resentment or anger in me. It could be very easy for me to slip into "Gamer"-dom or Inceldom. But I don't. Because that's all bullshit. Yeah I have a lot of negative experiences in my youth and almost no positive experiences to balance them out. But letting those experiences dictate how you treat everybody is bullshit. They're not the ones that insulted you or hurt you. Even the people who insulted and hurt you arn't the people who insulted and hurt you. They were dumb kids. You were probably a dumb kid too, you probably don't realize how dumb you were because my the time you knew better you were too old to remember half the dumb poo poo you did. Or you're just a dumb adult. You're keeping the whole loving class after school because one dipshit drew a penis on the blackboard. And guess what, that doesn't just hurt all the innocent people whose time you're wasting, you're wasting your own time too. Get therapy, get perspective and try to learn how to love and forgive. If not for their sake, but for yours.

(You're still allowed to hate the capitalist monsters who are doing their best to turn this world into an endless gilded age and the people who go out of their way to enable them).

It's not gamers, it's people that communicate through non-face-to-face means, being stuck in a game with people is what makes you have to stop and listen to them for any amount of time. These people were on IRC, they were on BBS/usenet, they were in AOL chatrooms and Yahoo boards and...you get the idea.

Some people have trouble learning how to communicate with other human beings, or even acknowledge others as human beings, when they're not literally staring at their faces.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
Capitalism has developed such a genuine amount of fear and stress that working on yourself and developing atrophied muscles of compassion and acceptance and forgiveness is almost like, idk, deciding that skiing is your new hobby if you live in Arizona. It’s not impossible but it’s just loving foreign; spiritual sickness takes over minds and doesn’t want to be cured because that means pretty much wiping it out, and it wants to live like anything else. It is very sad that so many people can’t even get past the ideology of hate that they’ve developed; it feels nicer when you don’t!
