Hades 2 is still real good. I am glad I did not start over cause I would 1000% have quit. The endgame stuff is solid but I think the Crossroads and the dialed in boss/level experiences are just excellent.

oh no

Guess who *exactly* estimated what OpenAI's first half revenue would be?

Better get that class action suit in fast, if the company goes under you don't get any money when you win.

This guy wrote one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time and DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL 2013???

Stripping the meat off the bones while the animal is still alive, same as always

Cory agrees that AI will end up like VR (some useful tech leftover for open source nerds to noodle with) when, you know, the bubble bursts and destroys the economy. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

Somewhere circa 2010 I met someone who worked on the FMV team for C&C and…that must have been so fun

I am super jealous of those of you about to jump into Hades 2 fresh.

One of the weird things about having wide ranging professional experience is, rather than making a big direct splash in one community, you squish up through multiple cracks like the Blob

Austin Film Festival's schedule is live, so I can announce that I am once again returning to the game writing track! This year I'm moderating a panel about writing for live service games, and we're doing a mock game writers' room! Are you going? austinfilmfestival.com/2025-confere...

Time to get your Hades 2s and your Silent Hill fs and your Sonic Racings

It’s striking to me that A Game of Thrones (the book), despite its ultra popular adaptation, still feels super 1990s in its heart.

Alien Earth remains so much more interesting than it should be. What a cool show. Still the most interesting swing in the franchise since Prometheus and way more effective.

I’ve been curious about this deal since I wrote about it in that essay back in February. Everything I’ve heard is that it’s going nowhere and this article confirms it. www.thewrap.com/lionsgate-ru...

This goes for writing too

Really fantastic way of explaining hallucinations in that headline. The outputs are all “correct” according to how the technology works, but if you’re looking for a useful output in the real world, you’re going to have problems

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

So the needle drops in Alien: Earth are moving forward in time right? We for sure started in the 80s and are now in the 00s.

I love that the strangely intimate relationships with the different species and characters in Alien: Earth makes the whole thing feel like Hellraiser set in Jurassic Park

Freaking out because I know the next few digits of pi #alienearth

Oh so baldy is tanking outside investment in the US?

I think shows desperately need to have longer seasons

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal so it needs to be taken seriously

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

RIP Sundance Kid. The festival Robert Redford founded was central to multiple revivals of the film industry in its run and spun off Slamdance, which has also elevated now-huge names. We need more big artists to cultivate mediums like Robert did (also big artists to start non-profit food brands)

get ready for more game adaptations

Congratulations (once again) to Chrissy and the team!

New from 404 Media: airlines are selling *5 billion* ticketing records to the government for warrantless searching, per new docs we obtained. ARC is a data broker owned by United, American, Delta, etc. Then sells peoples' travel info to ICE, Secret Service, FBI etc www.404media.co/airlines-sel...

I mean yeah of course he did.

Congratulations Dan!

I replayed Into the Breach and now I'm replaying XCOM 2 and I think about FTL in the context of those games constantly. A masterpiece.

Call your reps, this garbage can't stand.

I am gestating (ha) a theory that some of the backlash to Alien: Earth is because people still aren’t dealing with how craven and dysfunctional our world is today.

This is getting ridiculous so I'll just repeat it: trans rights are human rights.

this looks SO good

I’m having a confused response to a Helldivers stratagem code being an aspect of a real world assassination. That’s to be expected I guess.

I wonder why all these great indie games are coming out of Australia where they have a massive public funding effort for videogame creators

God episode 6 of alien earth is like all the backloaded super interesting scenes at once boom boom boom
