Professional Dilettante. Logged back in to stop AI data center buildout, which is, sure, heightening the contradictions.

When we crossed 500k Covid deaths a couple weeks ago I thought about how hard it is to show such a massive number of lives lost. It's not practical to make and arrange that many objects in the real world, but in #gamedev it's pretty straightforward.

@SenLouiseLucas I reactivated my account on this hellsite to bring you an open letter signed by over 50 orgs around VA calling on Gov Spanberger to end the data center tax exemption. She and the House need to be reminded they work for their constituents!

When you film in Hungary you pay a different price

[The Hollywood Handle @HollywoodHandle]

‘ALIEN: ROMULUS’ crossed $300M at the worldwide box office.

The film had a $80M budget.

Looking back, playing through the original American release of Devil May Cry 3 was a formative experience.

Elden Ring DLC too difficult?

I would like to introduce you to Ninja Gaiden.

Play this on the hardest difficulty and you will never be the same.

You'll never believe what Matt booty's DICE summit bio says

[Ryan T. Brown 🎮🩷 @Toadsanime]

There may never have been a day as big as today for indie games.

On the back of mass layoffs of major AAA studios, today more high-profile and under-the-radar gems are releasing on May 9th than any other day in recent memory. They need your support.

Here's a thread of 'em! 🧵

Was not able to complete @NieRReinEN in time, but got far enough to know @yokotaro and @donhertzfeldt need to collaborate

[benverschoor.bsky.social @Ben_Verschoor]

For real though, in spite of @NieRReinEN 's anti-fun gacha economy, it is an incredible addition to the series, and it's insane that it's just going to disappear. And not a little ironic, since preservation is explicitly the theme of the game !!

[benverschoor.bsky.social @Ben_Verschoor]

I tried to belatedly catch up on @NieRReinEN before service ended. I was in the home stretch, but alas, this was the last thing I saw before I got booted

@zunguzungu @ClaireEFallon Interesting then to think about the parents who try to vicariously relive their youth through their kids by becoming psychotically invested in their little leagues

[Aaron Bady @zunguzungu]

Having kids has really helped me understand how much and how deeply we learn and internalize a hatred and contempt of so many of the traits that children have, precisely because we vest our self-worth and self-respect in the conceit that we have grown up and shed them.

This is disastrous

EXCLUSIVE: Participant, the 20-year-old film and television production company whose mission was to inspire social justice and humanitarian action, is shutting down.

Established in 2004, Participant co-produced or co-financed a number of notable movies including best picture Oscar winners “Spotlight” and “Green Book,” as well as Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” and the breakthrough documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” https://t.co/u0k7WHf2Iv

I just watched the utterly batshit OVA Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals, and my most pressing question is whether @JoeMadx saw it before he started planning Battle Chasers. Sky pirate Rouge is a dead ringer for Red Monika, down to the name!
