I viscerally shuddered when they introed our main character shaving her head.

Now, I hate the trope of pro-spacers with long hair. Sure you can wear it up, but anything that's capable of fucking with an air tight seal is just a bad idea. So this hair cut makes a huge amount of sense in this environment.

But I also obsessively remember this one NASA astronaut video that has always stuck with me, explaining that they eat tortillas in space because in microgravity the crumbs from ordinary bread would just utterly fuck air filtration and cooling systems for both life support and other electronics.

Have you ever seen the mess dry shaving like she does actually creates? Not just in the trimmers but the area you're performing this little grooming ritual in. Like I know we're shedding skincells and such all the time, but there's a difference between stuff you can't help and deliberately making it worse.

I know she's in synthetic gravity in a fantasy game, but it's just one of Those Niggles for me.

That aside, the moment you see that lack of hair, you just know what the pissant fuckboys are going to say.

Then the devs really go to town. Not only is this character a woman with a #0 cut, she's androgynous as fuck bordering on butch, and almost certainly biracial. I didn't see any evidence pointing to it other than blatant angry stereotyping and the Pet Shop Boys but she's probably going to be queer too even if just optionally so.

And she's assertive. Or bratty. The puppy-dog-eyed soda suck is a thin line.

That the only other person in the trailer is a cranky woman with an eye patch who's Too Old For Your Shit but sure, fuck around you dumb kid? The Devs clearly either have no fucks to give or a strangely optimistic opinion of the ability of people to tell the fuck boy press which abyss to go jump into.

It goes without saying that you Shouldn't Read the Comments. Unless you want to feel like beating people with a brick over their casually self-centered misogyny and racism about character relatability, self-identification, and who is allowed to have it

If you haven't seen the trailer:

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is that rarest of things, a brand-new sci-fi IP. Players will be transported to a world set thousands of years in the future, into the role of Jordan A. Mun. A dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

I made this same joke in my head with Sonic but Crash Bandicoot is the superior joke.

thinking about the star trek beastie boys paradox. the use of the hit song sabotage by the beastie boys in star trek (2009) raises many questions that go completely unanswered in the rest of the series. since the song is part of the scene and is being not only heard but intentionally played by captain kirk, this means that sabotage exists in the star trek universe. if this song exists, it implies that the remainder of the band’s discography also exists. but the issue here is that in several beastie boys songs, they directly reference star trek and its characters. examples include in intergalactic, where they mention “a pinch on the neck from mr spock”, or in the brouhaha, where they say “this is bones mccoy on a line to sulu.” the fact that captain kirk himself is listening to the beastie boys in this film and again, to one of their lesser known songs (a REMIX of body movin ON VINYL) in the sequel, gives the viewer an idea that he’s a pretty big fan of their music. does kirk simply not notice the fact that they’re literally talking about his friends and coworkers? they literally say HIS name in b boy bouillabaisse: stop that train. or am i meant to believe that he’s conveniently not heard some of their most popular music? intergalactic is their third top song on spotify. there’s no way he hasn’t heard it. is he just really really oblivious? or are the beastie boys just some sort of prophetic gods in this universe? director jj abrams, i applaud your music choices but by making the beastie boys canon in star trek you have opened up a whole can of worms and i don’t intend on letting you rest until you solve this mystery for me. WHAT IS THE TRUTH!

This April Fools, I thought it was only fitting that I finally share the greatest powerpoint I ever made while working a mentally and physically draining fulltime retail job at 18. This is my pride and joy. I hope you enjoy <3

(the experience of reading this here will never live up to all of my fun little slide transitions but i included the blank slide to slightly allude to it)

Naughty Dog’s new game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was announced! (And I totally guessed the theme)

Here’s who I recognize so far

Tati Gabrielle aka Nora in The Last of Us season 2

- Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals)

- Tony Dalton (Better Call Saul)

- Ashley Scott (Maria in The Last of Us!)

- Steven Chang (Jesse in The Last of Us Part II!)

The eyepatch lady is most definitely Halley Gross, writer of The Last of Us Part II!
