As an aside, what does the mark over the O do in the creator’s name? Shinichirō

It’s a macron and denotes a long vowel sound, like “oh” (not quite an “oo”).

So:

Tōkyō is toe-key-oh, not Tok-yo

Ōsaka is oh-saka, not Os-aka

So you were probably pronouncing it right without knowing what it meant.

I love Samurai Champloo.

Also when are we getting haptic suit porn games where my game station sucks my dick?

Asking the real questions.

I suspect the next avenue is going to be using AI to create more realistic and interactive NPCs, especially in open-world games.

I’m so looking forward to this - I’ve read most of the comics this draws from and it looks like Gunn has had a tonne of fun with the concept.

Stop teasing Bruce - I want this yesterday!

I’ve declined the opportunity to Mod a community on lemmy.ml, which is really not like me.

Me too, but I suspect the theatrical release may be limited, so I’ll have to hunt it down.

That looks very promising.

The Bumper Book of Magic has been in the pipeline that a number of contributors are dead but the novel he is promoting now is the first in a series, we already know the name of the next one.

He effectively retired from writing comics in mid-2019 but signed a book deal with Bloomsbury for his short story collection and the five novel series we are starting to get. At the time he declared himself to be “bursting with fiction”. I’m not aware of anything that suggests he is ready to throw the towel in quite yet. In fact, he seems reinvigorated.

I saw it in the cinema a monty or two back - not laugh-out-loud funny but it does have dark comedy undertones and is a solid film.

Tucker and Dale is great and I suggest it to anyone with an interest in comedy horror. I’ve watched it quite a few times now and what I really appreciate is that there’s a point where the story doesn’t really allow the initial conceit to carry on and yet it transitions nicely into the rest of the film where it would have been very easy to fumble the ball at that point.

I didn’t mention it because it’s mentioned in the trailer but it is well worth flagging up - almost worth seeing just for that.

Find a smaller instance and use the local and subscribed feeds. Then make use of the tools for more fine-grained blocking.

What would you suggest instead?

They’re science fantasy, a sub-genre hybrid of sci-fi and fantasy.

It’s a dark/black comedy.

It’s a solid list, I might throw in The Man With Two Brains (1983), Time Bandits (1981), The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), Cocoon (1985) and Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988) for consideration.

If you don’t include Braindead (1992) then you are dead to me. The other glaring omission is An American Werewolf in London, perhaps it leans more into horror than comedy for the writer of the listicle (Braindead may suffer from the opposite issue) but it’s in the mix.

I’d have also liked to see Body Melt on there. Bubba Ho-Tep would be a good shout too. Also…Society, Brain Damage (1988), Re-animator, Reform of the Living Dead, Feast (2005), One Cut of the Dead (2017), Dead Snow, Grabbers, The Final Girls (2015), Severance (2006), I Am Hero, The Menu (2022), Theatre of Blood (1973), etc.

4. ‘Ready or Not’ (2019)

It’s my least favourite Samara Weaving comedy horror - The Babysitter and Mayhem are both great.

Cheers.
