We all have the ability to make the world a better place, each in our own way. I think it's fair to say that Anthony Head knew this, recognised it, and did far more than most to live up to the opportunities his fame afforded him in order to put good into this world whenever and wherever he could.

I listen to Sloane's soundtrack to Raptor Boyfriend all the time. Gentle guitar vibes that are perfect for relaxing to even if you don't play the game (Psychroma is waiting in my library for when I actually have time to play it but I'm sure that's great too)

LLM writing grates on me, I hate it. but for a lot of people, it's better at outputting a particular academic/workplace-appropriate style than they are. we don't just need to push back on AI, we need to push back on the ideas about what's desirable in text

This sums up a bunch of my feelings towards the announcement of LiS: Reunion. The LiS games have never been about completely happy endings. They're messy people dealing with even messier situations and nobody fully gets "what they deserve" in them.
