Whatever you think of Nolan's The Odyssey, there is an unavoidable connection between its world and ours: who is justified in claiming a home as theirs, and what national identity actually means. https://t.co/qpOG0hXWZl

@TBYSTweet @2sallads What about slowly walking through a narrow gap between rocks and holding the left analog stick forward?

@MrWinMarshall @PageauJonathan A soul should be defined by experience and not derived from knowing facts or information sets such as language. Pageau put it nicely - AI can describe attributes of a cat, but it can never experience its presence, therefore it is not conscious of it. No conscious, no soul

@Sargon_of_Akkad If the written identity of the state is obstructed, then the written identity failed. Changing the written identity is not always 'progressivism' - it's mutation.

Part of the backlash for Halo: Campaign Evolved stems from a misunderstanding - just because you upgraded the textures to be of a higher quality, it doesn't always add value. In fact, it can detract from the game's original identity, and the player is left with something vague and unappealing.

Vince Gilligan's Pluribus on Apple TV is a reminder that we can bring back classic science fiction storytelling ideas from The Twilight Zone and Star Trek and present them in a modern way for a modern audience.

@JACk88431259 @PageauJonathan Vegas is over-hated. It has its problems don’t get me wrong, but there is a world between worlds feeling when you go there. Everyone should visit at least once!

@Okami13_ The best chance at Bethesda reclaiming their golden age of the 2000s. However, if they fumble it we will experience Fallout fatigue.

“This should teach us that the pessimistic, hyper rationalist post-modern beliefs should not be inherent or always morally justified, especially when courage and faith exist as the only plausible antidotes to the broken world we live in.”

Writing like this heals a little piece of the soul—a truly wonderful read!

A game that means so much to so many people. A reflection I wrote in anticipation of the remake.

@Xerendipitist That is a very kind thing to say, thank you so much. An important reminder for sure! It was a joy to write. Mythic Mind is a great platform and I would hope to contribute more for them and post on X in the future.
