Brandy you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life my love and my lady Is the See

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time

When I arrive at the party

Just a banger profile, devoured this one hunched over my phone like it was about an old friend

Read 'Matthew Flinders' Cat' at an age way too close to that of the child in it, who gets caught up in a trafficking ring. My poor fam just knew I liked big books and handed it to me at random

Thanks to @brianschirmer.bsky.social for spotting this one: a proper #WarHammer style relic!

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

fellas is it (Ethical) to use chatgpt (i'm losing my mind, as if putting 'ethical' in parenthesis makes it... fact??)

Yeah :D

Watching some videos on old paleoart and a familiar name showed up: John Sibbick. I didn't realise that the guy I knew best from illustrating the cover of Rogue Trader was also a massively influential artist of prehistoric animals. That is a fact that makes me smile.

waiter (cocking gun): we do things a little differently here

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

hideo kojima ass bread

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

The recipe for a good social media app isn't hard if you understand that people simply yearn to read and write sentences without angry guys yelling slurs at them

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

Corridor and it's not even close (coridoor). Why both be part of my house and share the same sound but spell it differently?

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

I'm listening to Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? again. I'm sure it's fine.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Great article, applying game design principles to the mess that is American politics

My latest piece for VO, on composer Leos Janacek! Enjoy! www.victorianopera.com.au/the-intensit...

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Videogames are a waste of time. But so is your job.

I think the worst experiences in all of gaming are the first two hours of most AAA games. That's what the money people obsess over, making things worse and worse. They can't code, so they don't touch the codebase, but they speak English, so they fuck with the writing.

Fully forgot to post my most recent review for STACK! In which I managed to eventually get over my disappointment that this wasn't a sequel to Minecraft

Lina told me this story a long time ago back when she worked at NBC and I haven't shared it because I'm not a gossip but I want you all to know that I have never stopped thinking about it once

In my opinion the real problem is the male homeliness epidemic. You guys are ugly as shit.

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!' 'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!' 'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!' the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art. like. *hate* art. deeply.

watching you dildo brain cock suckers play w/ AI shit is like watching a dog paw at one of those puzzle boxes that you put treats inside of

i admire that final fantasy x's first hour is more or less a what if scenario of "what would happen if we isekaid lebron"

and for the potential Grunglers who don't know about the holy texts:

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike. YOU - Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother? ENCYCLOPEDIA - Nope.

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.

i thought this was really brave of kotaku

no, I said I wanted a tradewife. like a union electrician

The review embargo has ended on James Gunn's new "Superman" film, so I can finally say what I've been holding back for weeks: I was beaten in the darkness of the theater by an unidentified assailant!!

As dawn breaks, a magazine appears in the wizard's mailbox.
