pet peeves is when devs create lavish and intricate settings, like palaces or museums or whatnot, but then reuse the same 5 paintings to decorate the walls. See the two paintings in the image below? There's actually a third copy just out of frame. In the same small office!

"There was blood and a single gunshot, but just who shot who?" Not to be pedantic, detective Manilow, but this shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

Being a responsible adult also means taking time to finish Mixtape (excellent), Wax Heads (great and IP-worthy) and Call of the Elder Gods (not as good as CotS, still good) to free up the schedule for Forza Horizon 6... Only to discover after the fact that FH6's PS5 release is probably months away.

"People who have passions are hot, you know? I'm just a series of after-school programs." I'm sorry, I thought I bought a video game about some American teens listening to cool tunes, not a mirror into my own adolescence.

This is kinda sending me. I bought
#Bloodborne
on its European release day, March 25th 2015. I just turned 22 and would start my first job two weeks later. Flash forward 11 years, and here's me getting the Platinum trophy. So much has happened since then. But Bloodborne still rocks.

Nothing too surprising here, but the idea that Magaro's 30-second role as "voice of sex offender" in The Materialists probably pushed him into the top slot did give me a chuckle. I recognized his voice too, so the inclusion is fully earned.

Some random thoughts after another three days in
#Paris
: - The renovated interior of Notre Dame is better than I expected (the lighting is great) - Montmartre still blows - Keeping up a diet in Paris is intensely difficult - Cinema culture is the best, so much respect for new films and revivals

(Re)visited this pixel-horror quartet. They're similar but different and I love them. All great examples of how to capture time/place/mood without photorealistic graphics, treat mature subjects without feeling exploitative and provoke a sense of dread through expressive writing, music and visuals.

Otto Freundlich's painting 'Homage to the people of colour'. Freundlich's work was featured in the infamous 1937 'Degenerate Art' exhibition in Munich. In 1943, Freundlich was deported to Sobibor concentration camp, where he was murdered.

A visit to the Kunstmuseum has the added benefit of seeing Mondriaan's Victory Boogie Woogie again, which is one of those paintings that really benefits from being seen in real life. (Obviously, this tracks for a lot of paintings, but this one especially. Its textures are so rich!)

The "Nieuw Parijs" exhibition at The Hague's Kunstmuseum features a delightfully impressive selection of (proto-)Impressionist works from Orsay, Marmottan, the Met, and elsewhere. Also chronicles perhaps the most interesting decade in Parisian history (excluding the French Revolution), 1865-1875.

Wrapping up first days at
@offscreenff.bsky.social
immersed in Wyrd Britain. Key takeaways: - showing the big demon is a good idea - only ask a question if it's actually a question - don't play on farms - ask the folklore and/or horror experts in your life if they're alright from time to time

Pouring out a damn fine cup of coffee in honor of David Lynch. His work transcends time and space, but you can feel his soul in the vestiges he reframed to his vision.

After some delicate coaxing (and less subtle nagging), managed to convince a friend to prepare a film food classic for New Year's Eve: the Timpano from Stanley Tucci's Big Night. Every bit as yummy as you'd expect. π½

Love this. Some five years before his first 'classic Hopper' paintings and in a much more formal style, Hopper's already oppressing his subjects in negative space.

π½ Caught the final screening of HERETIC at my local theater. The first 60 minutes were some of the best fun I've had in a cinema all year. I've always had a soft spot for religious mumbo-jumbo played completely straight (see also: Omen, Exorcist, Viy, even parts of The Da Vinci Code).

Great read. Coates weaves a thread between the transatlantic slave trade, the Civil War and Jim Crow, apartheid and the colonisation of Palestine to create, in the end, a passionate plea to lift up voices and stories of those who suffer and have suffered.

Tried this on an Amsterdam-Seattle flight earlier this year. Stayed up all night, 10am flight ended up delayed for two hours, almost passed out in the airport, eventually got on the plane, slept for a whole 30 minutes and then could not sleep again for the whole remaining 9 hours. Absolute Hell.
