It's been a long while, but the recent Boss Baby shitfuckery has convinced me this site is effectively a dead horse, and I will waste no more time beating it. If you want to find me elsewhere, here's my linktree: linktr.ee/hystericempress

Good night, and good luck.

Memory Alpha is one of the most incredible comedy websites on the internet and they just let you look at that shit for free

My rule about enjoying Final Fantasy titles has always been 'do not listen to a single opinion any living person has about it other than your own' and increasingly I find this applies to every other piece of media as well. Your takes wash over me like a thin, greasy rain.

The old mafia heads becoming YouTubers now is pure American. It’s a repeat of the gunslingers of the west travelling around as sideshow acts at medicine shows.

One of my oldest friends is going through a very difficult time right now after the loss of their partner and the demands of taking care of a young child on their own now. Please, if you CAN do anything to support them: do so.

okay but for real this is a thing a stalker does

The fact that CK is considering pulling up roots to kneecap their union is absolutely appalling. They already charge a higher markup than just about any other distributor, this is simply grotesque.

If you're not on your feet whooping and hollering when the tormented protagonist accepts their inner trauma and uses it to transform into a sick-ass demon while the music swells to an explosive crescendo, you are boring. It's okay that you're boring, but you have to accept it.

listen I fucking love FF16 but I cannot actually get over the fact that Hugo Kupka just looks like Grindset Thanos

I don't think you could get me to have a single strong emotion about Sunset Overdrive if you held a gun to my head. It's not BAD, it's just sluggish and does nothing with what ought to be a slam-dunk gameplay premise. It is a plain hamburger with tie-dye ketchup.

Earnestly, I really like how Tetsuya Nomura has responded to every single criticism of his writing style and aesthetics by smiling, nodding, and then carefully turning up the volume just enough notches to annoy everybody again.
