Generally regarded as a response to the sex/violence in pulp & noir crime fiction; big presence in the popcorn fiction/mass market pb markets; fairly interchangeable; targeted towards “nontraditonal” consumers of primary genre, ie. women/older folks. I feel like the cozy game trend has similarities!

when will inbox zero stop haunting our species

from Adrien de gerlache’s fifteen months in the Antarctic:
How many letters I failed to write! How many others I received, quite apart from those in the ordinary course of events, from all sorts of places, petitioning for all sorts of things; letters from unrecognized inventors pressing on me infallible ways of reaching the South Pole!
I hope that all who failed to receive a reply may pardon me!

I decided this year to spend no more than my monthly column budget on games I’ll be covering in that column meaning I make $0 from my roundup columns twice a year. I do it to broaden coverage + I like writing reviews. But if there’s no way for me to request a key I often can’t cover your thing.

If you write critically, you have to do something besides get excited. You have to examine what's in front of you. What you see is a movie industry in decay, and they decay gets worse and worse. (2001)

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - The pale, too, came with you. No one remembers it before you. The cnidarians do not, the radially symmetricals do not. There is an almost unanimous agreement between the birds and the plants that you are going to destroy us all.

"I'd advise editors to ask themselves: if you never get women pitching your site or applying for your jobs, why is that? Do you read female writers- and if not, why? Do you talk to women about whom they are reading, or do you only talk about work with other men? Not all of our biases are conscious."

Apropos of nothing, here's the callout I wrote for Eurogamer about the glaring lack of female voices in the games media. I wrote this in *2018*. Things did seem to get better for a while but now we're backsliding again and the reasons for it haven't changed. www.eurogamer.net/why-the-game...

Eurogamer has far too low a proportion of articles by female writers. Keza MacDonald, the Guardian's games editor, explains why this happens and what can be don

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Most of you who have worked with me know how hard I try to give homes for pieces that mean a lot to people. How hard we work to make sure we can commission pieces when they've fallen through elsewhere. It's rough out there and we can really only get through this big ol' mess if we help each other <3
