"If Taylor Sheridan doesn't need a writers' room, neither do I."

One unfortunate side effect of giving lessons on flavour text is that I'm coming back to MTG after a 15-year hiatus. Oops? 😶‍🌫️

Media literacy test below ↓

Despite Lucasfilm's best efforts, I will never believe that the next STAR WARS movie is the fourth season of a mediocre show in disguise. Leave me in denial mode for now.

On a pas assez parlé de THE WEATHERMAN, pourtant le titre de SF le plus généreux d'Image Comics depuis BLACK SCIENCE. Suite (et fin) enfin disponible chez Urban Comics, mais aussi dans une chouette intégrale. Allez découvrir ça ! 💫

Art motivation 💪

12/12 here but some of those have been expertly chosen ha ha! 😇

It's funny 'cause it's true.

La plateforme STUDIO17 ouvre demain 🌟 On sait que vous avez hâte, nous aussi !

On n'a pas les mots pour exprimer notre tristesse : Robert Redford est décédé à l'âge de 89 ans.

One issue generally overlooked in the whole screenwriter vs gamewriter, discussion is time. Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script. Whilst there are time pressures on any writer, the vast amounts of script that- 1/9

Appulse is part of the expanded Six One Indie Showcase selection!☄️ @sixoneindie.com This mix of pinball and top down shooter will share the spotlight among many other amazing games on the event's Steam page. Watch the showcase on September 18th👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qncf... #gamedev #indiegame

Same for games.

Le Gamergate contre-attaque et une nouvelle fois, de grosses boîtes s'inclinent sans même se poser de question. Pathétique.

Nix says hi!

Media discovering groypers for the first time reminds me of when they first encountered incels. Those of us who study misogyny or followed Gamergate had been screaming about incel culture and violence for years. Coverage of hate groups is far too reactive.

This terrifying but edifying piece by @garbageday.email is certainly the most intelligent thing you can read on this topic ATM.

oh they're gonna blame video games aren't they

Wake up, babe. New Health just dropped.

Rappel que Sébastien Lecornu, le nouveau Premier Ministre, était le gentil organisateur des bouffes entre le RN et la Macronie. www.lecanardenchaine.fr/politique/50...

I'm not the biggest MATRIX RESURRECTIONS fan, but somehow I keep thinking about that quote over and over again: "That's what the Matrix does. It weaponizes every idea. Every dream. Everything that's important to us." Am I the only one?

The morning’s bright the sky is blue and we have a teaser trailer! WAKE UP DEAD MAN the new Benoit Blanc mystery, in theaters Thanksgiving and on Netflix 12/12

Gamers & game devs! 📣 Do you like to have a codex in your games? Do you check it often? Always? From time to time? And what are your favourite examples of a great video game codex? I'd like to hear your take on this topic! Thanks. ⬇️ Using God of War (2018)'s codex for attention purposes.

Ryan Reynolds has finally admitted he personally leaked the Deadpool test footage back in 2014 that directly led to 20th Century Fox approving an R-rated movie based on what was then considered a “fringe” comic book character.

It would be great if VFX artists refused to work with directors who lie and say they don't use VFX. It would also be fascinating to see how their movies would look if they actually didn't have any VFX.

What's up with that new Letterboxd interface? Where is my list of reviews? 😭 Aren't funny reviews what made the app famous in the first place? Really weird design choice.

My happy place is building (not so) tiny tonks.

This makes me so happy - Courtney's entrance in particular.

🔔Votre rentrée s’est bien passée ? Bien. Alors voici l’annonce promise. Avec Julie Alinquant, on fait le pari fou – euphémisme ! – de lancer une maison d’édition en 2025. On veut créer quelque chose de beau et de fou. Et ce sera donc @editionslbo.bsky.social ! 👉 ulule.com/labelleouvrage

Hell yeah, Bond games are back! FIRST LIGHT looks absolutely incredible. I already know what I'm doing next March.

Preparing my new lessons for my narrative design students and reminding them of the good stuff:

RNDM-01

Thought it would be a good idea to start OUTLAWS right in time for his first birthday. The amount of STAR WARS details is incredible, but beyond that, I really didn't vibe with the intro, which felt oddly paced. I'll push through to discover more systems, but it might not be for me in the end.

Forever sad we're missing some precious pieces of its puzzle, but MGS V was my first real contact with the franchise, and still my favourite after playing all games back to back during COVID. Truly one of the most intricate milsim experience out there.

Fascinating deep dive into EXPEDITION 33's narrative, full of spoilers (obviously) and heart-warming anecdotes. Go and give it a listen! Thanks, @alexaray.bsky.social!

As if PEACEMAKER wasn't funny enough, now they bring Tim Meadows for season 2? Genius move. That improvised outtake was just brilliant.

Toujours un plaisir de parler Xénomorphes et synthétiques en charmante compagnie ! 💫

An absolute shame that Cameron - among other things - fails to realise AI destroys our planet like the RDA would on Pandora.

Boring day at work

Great interview with Jan Theysen, Creative Director on DoW 4. Full of interesting details, including why our dear Gabriel Angelos is absent!

I'm not a JRPG kind of guy, but CLAIR OBSCUR could make one out of me. A powerful piece on grief and the necessity of moving on. Daring narrative choices. Insanely talented cast. Well-balanced gameplay and some of the most creative asset implementation I've seen in a game. It lives up to the hype!

Really started vibing with ALIEN: EARTH through yesterday's episode. Bring it, Noah.

I love ODST and I love HELLDIVERS, but even when they make sense visually, I always find these IPs collabs particularly weird. They ruin the fun for me. Why would you invest in anything else than your own, original universe? Especially when it worked just fine with easter eggs? I don't get it.

My favourite genre of photography is Actor In Alien Costume Waits Around On Set To Do Their Thing.

once again thinking about how goddamn good and beautiful Strange Days is

Sur le Front de l'Est, difficile de séparer l'histoire du mythe, et c'est pourtant ce que fait ici Guerres & Histoire. J'ai comblé des lacunes, trouvé des idées de récit et surtout compris pourquoi ce conflit nourrit encore les imaginaires - dont les discours de Poutine. Éprouvant, mais édifiant.

"By far the biggest expense when making games is salaries." Whose salaries?

this came to me in a dream

J'ai lu récemment que les spectateurs de King Kong en 1933 n'étaient pas dupes face aux effets de stop motion, et qu'il y avait des rires dans la salle au début. Ce que je trouve très intéressant, c'est qu'au final le public a très vite accepté cette convention pour recevoir le film.
