Evening Reading - November 26, 2024

It's nighttime in America, which means it's time for another edition of Evening Reading.

Welcome, Shackers. It’s the calm before the storm, just days before Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Are your dinner plans made? Have you prepared a shopping list? Either way, we hope you’re enjoying and looking forward to more of our year-end content. The Shacknews Awards are being discussed as we speak, and with it comes a wonderful range of debates about the greatest games of the year. But for now it’s time to shut down another fine day of posting. Here’s your Evening Reading.

In case you missed it at Shacknews…

And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

Stalker 2’s dialogue is solid

JohnnyChugs on Cortex

Thank you, Stalker 2 dialogue system. Although that’s a strange thing for Private Weber to say.

The best Simpsons super rich villain guy?

I’m gonna give it to either him or Duke from The Critic.

A second lawsuit filed by Drake

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anything less cool than a rapper trying to end a beef with litigation. Drake got hosed, he knows it, the world knows it, and he’s never coming back from this.

But dang, it doesn’t look like he really stopped anything huh?

I had a friend tell me they forgot about Not Like Us until this lawsuit brought it up again and now it’s back in their playlist. Well played, Drake.

Some advice for the holidays

A good cherry or two can brighten a day. My favorites are the bing variety.

RIP Jim Abrahams

This scene was great. Abrahams also played parts in Airplane, Hot Shots, Big Business, and other spoof movies. Good night to a classic.

Some dancing to raise the vibe

And a video game history Easter egg to boot!

Everyone’s getting in on the fun

Yes, it’s less funny that corporations are doing it, but they’re still joining in a song toasting Drake’s a**, so that’s kind of hilarious too.

And there you have it. That’s our Evening Reading for this fine November 26. Thank you for reading Shacknews. We appreciate you, and if you appreciate what we’re doing, then consider supporting through Shacknews Mercury, where you can help the site out for as little as a dollar a month. Don’t have a dollar? Don’t need one to play Shackpets. It’s a free app on Android and iOS where you can upload and vote on pet pics and pit your pets against others in the ultimate battle of cuteness. Finally, be sure to check out Bubbletron. It’s a free browser game where you can choose from a daily randomized set of prompts to come up with the ultimate trillion-dollar startup.

Bubbletron values a startup for Age-Restricted Private Prisons for Republicans at $11,700
Okay, so Bubbletron hates my latest pitch, but I swear it's a growing need in current day America, particularly in a certain incoming administration.

We hope you have a good holiday weekend. Need help with your shopping? We got a wonderful guide for it. Be happy and safe out there!
