The new scripting tools in #Affinity are decent! Made a tool to duplicate objects and transform their HSL and Opacity. Great for experimenting with palette shifts and subtractive / additive colour effects.

Does it feature the unsettling original French themetune where Ulysses is pronounced with only two syllables? Unacceptable

No way! Arnt Jensen, the creator / director of INSIDE (2016) was, in a past life, an artist on FREEDOM FIGHTERS (2003) Wildly different styles but both absolute BANGERS.

I'm thinking about how Unity tried and failed several times to dogfood their own product, but actual game development proved too difficult for them. Yet they are happy to sell the illusion of game-development with this tool.

I was too young to appreciate this, but I did get traumatised 3yrs later by the ITV ape-hybrid drama: CHIMERA (Rewatched recently, not great, surprise dramatic cameo by Paul O’Grady 🤣)

Huge fan of Lua for this type of work too - loose enough to keep everything fun. I DID get in the weeds with the enemy AI system though 🫠 Trying to be awfully clever with a command system. Arcade action games require so much upfront work, its fascinating

Werner Herzog interviews Rev Richard Lopez, who serves as a chaplain for individuals facing capital punishment at Texas State Penitentiary. A seemingly innocuous question about "an encounter with a squirrel" leads to an astonishing answer. (Into The Abyss, 2011) youtu.be/KRC1fkPoa8o

Invasive consumer gadgets will not save us. We beg for robust tools that work FOR us, and are sold temporary tools that work THROUGH us. I don't believe a word of it anymore, we have seen too clearly the real motives at play (data harvesting and subscription billing).

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Insightful talk by Bruce Schneier at Defcon 2026. I love the framing of agentic AIs as either Genies / Golems. Genies grant your wish with malicious pendantry. Golems stop at nothing to grant your wish. Both are unpredictable and dangerous youtu.be/eEBv0STiYhI?...
