every night before bed for months my wife has told me what they found in blue prince that day, and after several months i'm becoming increasingly convinced the game is actually a king in yellow-style memetic mind virus

Imagining Klingon tourists really into Earth retro showing up to a Waffle House to fight

Woo damn pig. Good bball win tonight vs #6 Louisville.

Grinding up medicine for my notoriously picky cat into her favorite purée.

Oddly enough, I came to watching Twin Peaks quite late in the game (around 2023), although I'd been aware of it well before. That's something I think is special about Lynch's works: you know about them, even if you've never seen them, as if through the Collective Unconscious described by Jung (1/10)

strangely inspirational

Yesterday in the middle of the day in my backyard in the middle of a chaotic city, my favorite owl flew in and paid me a visit. Twin Peaks is never far away 🦉

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

Jokić does something special every night

What a great headline

This week, we finalized our vertical slice for @causewaystudios.com’s second game. We’re excited to start sharing it with Interested Parties. Come break the fabric of reality with us!

A very good week, new stuff looks sick, love this team. @gregwrogers.bsky.social @brijenkins.bsky.social @amandafarough.ca @futterish.fsquared.biz @abrasounds.bsky.social @causewaystudios.com #indiedev

Sad to see. The Holy See’s virulent anti-AI stance will hold the Church back as other religions continue to innovate. Praying the Pope adopts a grindset more compatible with the speed of the modern world

Hot Take: Arkham Origins. I always love Year One, Year Two, early Batman stories -- I thought Origins presented a really interesting take and was even more detective-coded than previous games. It pains me that it was the ONE Arkham that got left in the dust.

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?

Introduce yourself with four spaceships

I adore the Ghost games, but this is frustrating to read. WE, as a game industry, have to do a better job of protecting the talented, creative people that bring miracles, what we call video games, to life. The “angry” minority is brittle. Small and brittle. You can’t cave to that.

what's wrong with this guy

My god, behind the back spin pass 👀 #Nuggets

Fuck yeah, Jok. We don’t need no take foul (but that was def a take foul)

A “movie” that takes place where you’re from

Mike Washington. OH MY GOD

@ohmymithrandir.bsky.social and you said y’all couldn’t score 😏

Share a tv series you've watched all the way through more than once or something.

ANUBIS: (presses button with paw) [guilty] OSIRIS: im sorry he does this when he's hungry ANUBIS: (button) [guilty] [bad] [food] OSIRIS: you already ate ANUBIS: (button) [bad] [bad] [bad] OSIRIS: he's right though we weighed your heart against the feather and its not looking good

I'm seeing a looooot of executives in the past couple of days claiming that players/consumers think regurgitative AI is fine, but I haven't actually seen the players who think that. Smells like desperation.

Great framing here on the consumer’s perspective of Gen AI. No one’s asking for it. It’s been framed as a very public, player-facing problem-statement… but no problem exists. It’s all internal, and only benefits “stakeholders” at the top (and there’s a strong case for it not benefiting them either)

the matrix exists in a brief historical window of time when the phone and computer were both powerful, but existed separately.

Nikola Jokic's shooting efficiency this season is insane, just completely off the charts Restricted Area 83.1% (16.0% above league average) Non-RA Paint 70.1% (26.0%) Non-Paint Midrange 83.3% (43.2%) Right Corner 3 66.7% (28.3%) Above the Break 3 41.2% (6.0%) #Nuggets #MileHighBasketball

Specifically the interaction with the cultural fund destroys trust: with players, with government orgs, with communities, and partners. Trust like that isn’t easily rebuilt. If you farm out a cultural touchstone to machines, what are you saying about the people who play your games?

The purpose of business is employment, not profit.

And here I was thinking he’d have an off game after missing his first two.

*just one long horrendous eldritch screech*

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

This one broke me 🫠. It’s always the ones you least expect.

All maneuvers are valid and important, but lately, the Pike maneuver is most necessary.

Way to go Nuggets! Great start to the 4th without Jokić. Murray, Brown, Val, Hardaway, everyone! 💪

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

A friend who is a terrific stage actor asked me about the challenges of voicework and I replied "You not only have to imagine the environment and circumstances, you have to imagine your scene partner." That extra level of contextual integrity separates real story immersion from line delivery.
