I’d argue you should watch A New Hope because it was groundbreaking at the time, Empire Strikes Back because it’s amazing by any standard, and Return of the Jedi only if you crave resolution. Then watch Rogue One because it’s borderline better than Empire Strikes Back.
There’s only 2 good Star Wars movies that are good by the standards of modern cinema.
Fresh basil absolutely counts. I love margherita, but the thing with margherita is that you need an amazing crust for it to be a good pizza. That’s not really a surprise at all, but even a terrible crust can be redeemed with a mountain of good toppings.
And my statement is not about gatekeeping a pizza, in fact quite the opposite. Pizza is such a low bar that, yes, even Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza is better than no pizza. Great pizzas will have great crust and a wise combination of toppings, but a good pizza can be a mediocre crust with a kitchen sink on top. That’s basically what I order at MOD pizza everytime I go; just put everything on there, chief.
I mean it’s food and it probably tastes good. I concede texture is an important part of a high-quality pizza, but hey Totino’s are delicious and Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction is one of my favorite movies ever
If the bread sucks, flip it, peel away the crust. Boom. Keto pizza.
There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.
the rejection of games in liberal democratic culture
The fucking what? I’m sorry but in my experience playing video games since literally before I could read (Pokemon Yellow was a real struggle for me) the only people who have discouraged my passion for it are the conservative fucking boomers, and absolutely no one else.
The older I get the more gaming has become a legitimate hobby, accepted by more and more people. Older generations have accepted it as a much slower pace, but it’s still happening. The victimhood that these incels perceive is entirely self-imposed.
I could rewatch Futurama endlessly. That show is always entertaining.
I think Phineas and Ferb is also fucking excellent. The creators’ sense of humor truly gets me
Ranked choice voting was murdered by the democrats and republicans in Colorado
As posted elsewhere in the comments, Overgrowth was finally finished and the physics-based combat is extremely fun. Wolfire went on to make the handgun-simulator Receiver and Receiver 2 which are both also great
I ask it increasingly absurd riddles and laugh when it hallucinates and tells me something even more absurd.
If you haven’t heard this vocal cover, the lyrics AND the vocals go fucking hard
It’s not a bass drop in the strictest sense but FUCK dude “Stone” by Mammoth WVH has a sludgy fucking breakdown with some of the most epic dramatic pauses in all of music and I can’t get enough of it
oh that’s probably perfect
Basically anything from Jim Guthrie’s soundtrack for Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. It’s such a vibe
I loved the Showtime crashes in Burnout Paradise. I know most people would say that it was a sorry excuse for a replacement to the Crash mode that came before in the previous Burnout games, but I never played any other than Paradise so I can’t compare
Any love for DOOM 3’s Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3? It was so dumb but I will admit to loving the way you interact with computers and terminals in DOOM 3
In DOOM Eternal you can play through all of DOOM and DOOM 2 at the Slayer’s desk in the fortress. I dig that
