People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

I don’t tend to enjoy Nolan’s filmmaking so The Odyssey is an easy skip for me

Something dark and funny about the implicit possibility here that A24 didn't know it doesn't own the backrooms. Liminal Property. www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

Happening now in Chicago: community members and activists are in the La Villita/Little Village neighborhood to demonstrate against continued ICE violence in across the country. In just the last two weeks, ICE agents have killed 2 men. A 3rd died running from agents, and a 4th died in ICE custody.

corporations extracting resources from embattled nations, reshaping their markets and trade relationships at will, and soaking the american taxpayer for mountains of weaponry are the real reason america goes to war. the only desired victory is endless stagnating conflict.

"Overlong production cycles and exponential budget increases are worsened every time a studio is forced to reassemble its detonated workflow to account for the institutional knowledge lost whenever a dev is cut loose."

Hollywood should do a big Gilgamesh blockbuster next, and I believe the right man to direct it is Tarsem Singh

You don’t need to remake New Vegas?? It crashes just fine???

Why is Project Hail Mary so lonnnnnng

I remember hanging with a friend of mine, a writer from Obsidian. Reading news on my classic G1 Android phone. I read that Fallout New Vegas broke a major sales record. I ask my friend if that came with a bonus. He said he was quitting his job because it didn't pay enough to live in California.

Huge change to Mobygames - you can now comment on any credits you've received. Very handy if e.g. you gave your blood, sweat and tears for years, then only got a 'thanks'... (No, you're bitter.) Only for claimed profiles, not sure if requires sub. e.g. www.mobygames.com/person/61849...

BREAKING: Workers are ON STRIKE at Carl’s Jr.’s locations across Los Angeles. The owner of this franchise filed for bankruptcy. We’re doing whatever we can to ensure the bankruptcy judge doesn’t let the company off the hook for over $112,000 in wages and penalties!

I just want to watch a speedrun and YouTube is trying to kill my laptop

Saw something driving Elissa to work this morning. Had to stop and take a picture.

We are on day 13 of Hamilton lyrics stuck in my head. I haven’t listened to it since. I’ve played every kind of music to drown it out, and I’m still NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT, I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT, TILL THE WORLD TURNS UPSIDE DO

My neighborhood used to have a tamale lady. I miss her

Taylor Farms grows lettuce in Salinas and Yuma. They also buy from other farms and process produce all over, incl Mexico & Europe. They've caused multiple outbreaks and sell under a variety of brands/labels to consumers and restaurants/food service. They're about a third of entire US salad market.

I chatted about filmic cuts --

Despite what some adults seem to think, teenagers are fully human.

A practitioner of the lost art of truly ethical horniness.

Americans and Canadians blaming each other for wildfires and nitpicking who’s worse solves *nothing*. But it does make the oil companies really fucking happy cause we’re too busy yelling at each other to focus our ire at them. Both of our govts are capitalist shitbags in their pockets.

My oldest daughter has spent most of the past year asking if she could see The Backrooms when it came out. I went to see it in advance with my wife, and after some consideration, we decided to say yes. (Spoiler: She had a blast) www.crossplay.news/p/taking-a-k...

My parents were very liberal with exposing their young children to R-rated movies. I basically grew up on Rambo and Terminator 2

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

A movie so bad it has to be considered Outsider Art www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7qC...

Okay here's a thing that's good to report: Denshattack is as rad as everyone is saying it is. It's a fascinating hodgepodge of skateboard game mechanics, endless runner mechanics, and some light burnout/rhythm-y stuff, but really it's the game's unrelenting energy that sells it.

A24 is issuing takedowns for all sorts of backrooms content on social media, as well as merch elsewhere right now, that have nothing to do with the movie. I feel like a lot of people were afraid this would happen. They just... own the backrooms concept now I guess. Frustrating

For @mothership.blog, I talked to over a dozen caretakers about the reality of being a caretaker while working in games. The short of it? It's *very* difficult. Here's a glimpse of the current experience, its consequences, and coveted standardized practices: www.mothership.blog/the-games-in...
