Salazar: We’re all going to hell, man.

Calvin’s Dad always was a source of wisdom.

Teaches them to be watched. Easy.

I didn’t ever stop doing anything I wanted to do because my parents searched me room, I just learned to do it covertly.

Idk

Right now it’s Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

Still a lot better than my Crazy Bitch phase…

I was probably in a much more toxic space on the internet, at the time.

Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey

That plot is batshit wild, and I think it hinges on a bootstrap paradox. But that’s the point. It’s Bill and Ted, they just deal with it as Bill and Ted do. From robot clones, to Death, to death, to Hell, to Heaven, to Smokey and the Bandit III, it’s a perfect film.

I think that was Ted Bundy. Dahmer was more of an outcast, IIRC.

Yeah, it’s a movie that starts when it needs to and concludes well. Not that it’s Superman’s only leg up on the competition, but it’s a shame that’s the kind of thing that sets movies apart nowadays.

Also, Gunn has said he’s not doing a Superman or Batman origin story, because we already know those. So I hope that his Batman is good enough to end up on your list, too!

I guess that’s the same reason that the Dahmer show did so well: they made their bleach blond weirdo kinda good looking.

That, and the general cultural impulse to find serial killers… hot?

Yep, he played a weird nerd in Bandersnatch and people were mad he wasn’t phuckkable.

I’ve gotta be talking to Bill Rizer’s alt account right now.

You’re making me want to break out Contra and get as practiced as you.

Absolutely. Contra may be the easiest on this list. But Contra with just 3 lives…

Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! is one of the greatest games ever. It’s a boxing game that relies heavily on reflex and rhythm, and it plays so smoothly you’ll be surprised it’s an NES game.

Mega Man 2 is a classic. Most people claim this or Mega Man 3 (1990) as their favorite. Just some great action platforming, if you like to jump and shoot.

Speaking of jumping and shooting, Contra is another insanely fluid game. I really think its gameplay holds up well compared to even SNES-era games, and its vibrant, high-contrast colors are seared into my brain.

Most great NES games are some type of platformer, honestly. Castlevania is no exception. With a gothic horror aesthetic and a killer soundtrack, it’s honestly one of my favorites to just kick back and play with a drink.

I would also recommend the original Super Mario Bros., if you really haven’t played it. It’s pretty good for an early outing.

Oh and, as a rule, NES games are hard. Arcades made you pay quarters for lives, and since games were $50+ they wanted you to get your money’s worth in restarts. You would do well to learn the Konami code.

It sucks, but cis women also tend to get boxed into being more feminine. Though, without the denial of womanhood. Either way, I tend to view stuff like that as being treated more like a woman - for better or worse.

For oil? No…

Uhm, a little late to the party, Apple.

Fuck I love Robocop

Ah yes, the famously politically correct Presidents we had in the tail end of Vietnam: Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon

Of course, our loss could also have been the fault of Dwight D. Eisenhower and JFK fucking up the war in the beginning. Everyone knows neither of those guys knew how to run a military or a successful foreign policy.

Crazy how the only thing to cause the son of God to fly into a violent rage was unfettered capitalism
