Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, Season 1 of #Hellbound was set in a world where humans faced a frightening supernatural phenomenon: emissaries from hell appeared on Earth without warning and condemned people to hell. It was an absolutely horrifying and brutal #KDrama. The newly released teaser showcases the dramatic resurrection of Jung Jin Su, who was previously subjected to public demonstration in Season 1.

October 25th!

🤣 ain't nobody hiring vampires ... especially Black gay ones let's be honest. No DEI 🤣

Day 2 in #Remnant2 with @IronButterfly. We defeated another epic boss! Actually 2 epic bosses today! And many mini bosses. @IronButterfly did amazingly well. She's really getting the hang of these souls-like games. Remnant 2 is also an insanely beautiful world. Fascinating lore as well.

Your job is not a family.
Your boss is not your friend. Your company will never be loyal to you.

Remember a job is just a job.
Be loyal to you, not a corporation.

You will always be replaceable to them.

He said that the game is being viewed as “a reset point for the franchise and should hopefully be easy for new fans to get into.”

Nomura also teased that Kingdom Hearts 4 will begin an arc that he intends to complete before he retires.

The Earth’s moon will get a sidekick at the end of September: a 33-foot-long asteroid scientists call a “mini-moon.”

The tiny asteroid, which has been named 2024 PT5, was discovered on August 7 and before you start worrying about a Deep Impact situation, never fear. This little guy isn’t going to crash into the Earth. Instead, 2024 PT5 will simply tag along in our orbit for a few months before returning to the asteroid belt from which it came.

Written by an actual divorce attorney, #GoodPartner is a #KDrama about two very different divorce lawyers played by #NamJiHyun and #JangNara.

It stayed consistently at the top ratings every day it was airing. It was insanely successful and I couldn't be happier.

Good Partner is one of the best and most enjoyable dramas I have watched in a long time and while I haven't finish it yet - I'm savoring it as long as possible - I know I'm going to feel such a loss of this greatness when it's gone.

The Evolvers faction in #Frostpunk2 cites REASON as how they view the world with "clear minds and cold hearts" ... they also believe in harvesting the dead for parts and turning everyone into machines that don't need to fear the cold ...

And no faction believes in giving anyone any kind of healthcare ...

It's truly a hopeless and mad world no matter what kind of leader you want to be. What can one do against absolute madness? If you live in the current world you know the answer is nothing.

I fought tooth and nail for over a year trying to achieve the perfect ending ... and I managed all those achievements not because I knew they existed but because that's just how I play games like Frostpunk.

No one has to die especially if I know what I'm doing. I want no deaths. I want to succeed and if they game is setup to ALLOW THAT then I will because that's why I am. No death is necessary or acceptable. In IXION there were "required deaths" even if you did everything correctly.

#FirstCoffeeThoughts

I woke up thinking about #Frostpunk2 and the trend of developers wanting to mirror the world in their games versus creating newer or more hopeful ones.

From #FFXIV to #IXION and many others ... I'm seeing this focus on depressive, disheartening, destructive, and unhinged politics and agendas being pushed. I don't mean things like #ThisWarOfMine or #PapersPlease created to teach people about the real ramifications of war ...

I mean games that are fantasy.

Director Marina Tsukada is now about halfway through a decade-long project called #Toki (Time), filming young nonprofessional actors in her native Nagano Prefecture as their characters mature from childhood to adulthood.

Obvious comparisons are the groundbreaking British documentary series “Up,” which has been tracing the lives of its principals since 1964, and Richard Linklater’s 2014 “Boyhood,” which featured the same actors filmed over the course of 12 years.

#MindYourOwn

Lupita Nyong’o came up with the idea for this #podcast when she was stuck in traffic and wanted to hear a story from Kenya, where she grew up. She’s inviting others in the African diaspora to tell real-life tales from Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Johannesburg and more.

What’s really interesting is Nyong’o talking about how uncomfortable it felt to lose her accent for the American market, before finding her authentic voice again.

In a recent edition of Newsmax’s Chris Plante: The Right Squad, host Plante and his co-host Jason Nichols began discussing #AgathaAllAlong.

Plante recounted how he heard the cast “flaunting and flailing with joy that the show is the gayest Marvel series ever.” He also noted how Locke stated that the show proves “the Marvel Universe isn’t just for straight men anymore.”

He states, “It’s the kids, it’s targeting the kids, and it’s the gayest thing, you know, it’s a recruiting video, I think.”

This trash is why #Frostpunk2 just really sucks.

It's no longer about you building a city and saving all the citizens from the cold. It's now about politics and lunatics and people doing and believing irrational things that you can't abide and can't ignore without insanity.

The whole point of surviving the end of the world isn't to become a bunch of lunatics who don't believe in healthcare ok? That's not a world I'm interested in playing in.

It doesn't even make sense.
