90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

Don’t worry everyone, Nick Cage is now available for purchase in Call of Duty. Everything is going to be ok.

I remember fondly this being circa me first working at marvel and being in the bar with two comics journalists and I said “I know who red hulk is. Want to know?” And they lent closer and I said “he’s the hulk but red, right?”

Wild what you can get on sale right now for the price of one (1) GTA VI in Canada

Donald O’Connor didn’t dance his way up a wall and do a backwards somersault twice over so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

Я снова в отпуске, то есть - я снова приехал повидать книги, которые купил во время службы. (В этот раз поменьше обычного, потому что были другие траты, но выборка как всегда утонченная.)

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

The co-founder of Ubisoft died in a tragic accident and the NYT somehow feels the need to spend a lengthy paragraph of the obituary debating whether having a black main character for a recent game was "DEI". Incredible work.

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools

It is such a great feeling to finally have Blades in the Dark localized in Ukrainian. I am so happy to be able to dive into this amazing book by @johnharper.bsky.social while sitting next to my newborn. Life is good.

The new formalism, guys, we’re making it happen

Frogwares kinda rules dude

Man, 'Why are they even bombing us?' is just an incredibly revealing thing to say, the sort of thing most people only say in the presence of Isaac Chotiner. There's a quote for this one...

Where I join @geraldoborges.bsky.social and pop back to Marvel for four issues of AvX (Not that A). This has me cackling when I was offered it, when I pulled together a synopsis, when I've scripted it and whenever art has arrived. Alien vs X-men. What could go wrong? www.marvel.com/articles/com...

There is now an industry to insert promotions into LLM outputs, and research shows that it's trivially easy to do. Like, one reddit comment easy. www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...

My most optimistic take on all of this is that slop AI is going to force us all into an existential crisis where we come out on the other side with a deep understanding and appreciation of subjectivity.

One second from every scene in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

this is a perfect image. billions of years of hominid evolution led us to this and i am well pleased by it.

Imagine owning Double Fine and even *considering* closing it. The history of Double Fine is the history of the games industry itself. This is a crime.

The most successful He-Man reboot was the She-Ra cartoon which was made for kids and not nostalgic adults.

It's been 55 years since Milton Friedman - cursed be his name - published his *NYT* editorial, "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits," inventing "shareholder supremacy" out of whole cloth, declaring it a universal, inarguable truth: www.nytimes.com/1970/09/13/a... 1/
