Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

more games should steal the ace combat/dynasty warriors narrative design of just having an audio play that triggers as you do the level it has to be one of the most effective frameworks in terms of how sick it is compared to how much it costs

A new report from Luminate has found that long gaps between seasons of streaming TV shows are leading to major losses in viewership. More than a 1 year gap is seen to largely cause a significant loss in viewership. (Source: luminatedata.com/reports/2026...)

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit: www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...
gamefile.news
‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
The details emerged amid a legal dispute between company founders. The lawsuit also provides an unexpected look into a studio behind one of the best-reviewed Star Wars games in years

Honestly kinda disappointed the post-apocalyptic Paradox game is going to be a Fallout/Mad Max type thing and not a Twilight 2000 type thing.

Cicadamata having an incredibly cohesive and consistent lo poly designers republic inspired art style with harshly geometric assets except for this one single drawing of the player character so that you can see she's cheeked up is incredibly funny. That's what artistic vision is all about.

I think these conversations would really be helped by the old wargamer distinction between crunch (rules complexity) and chrome (lots of outliers and subsystems there for thematic reasons).

I don't love these kinds of "if they're coming for them they'll come for you" type of arguments. I think you should defend and take solidarity with sex workers for *their* sake first. But it does mean that it is *dumb* for one of us engage in anti-SW rhetoric or reinforce puritanical talking points.

Starfield is almost three years old now and in that time I have yet to see a single piece of fanart or meme or anything about the contents of the game itself. The extent to which they spent years on that game only for it to be met with a resounding cultural disinterest is fascinating

this bit from the latest deltarune newsletter honestly does a stunningly good job of explaining why I felt like experiencing Homestuck as it came out was the ideal way to do so and why it will never be the same again
The speculative art, stories, and theories that you come up with while the game is still ongoing will forever be special, because this is the only time such things can EVER be created. All of you are creating a time capsule unique to this single fleeting moment in time, and I think that’s something to be incredibly proud of. Isn’t it great that you’re here right now, playing this thing as it comes out?

I remember Tim Cain made a video about how Fallout 1 wasn't really about capitalism and everyone called him an idiot and cited 'death of the author' but the actual text of Fallout 1 says extremely little about capitalism, that's mostly transposed on to it from later games

Enjoy the movie, which was excellent; enjoy the review, which was also excellent. These are not in conflict! Also enjoy comments which scold the review for being nerdy and pretentious, re: a film that obliterated the bombast, comedy, and vitalism of the OG work in favor of monotone self-seriousness

I'm increasingly fond of @polphilpod.bsky.social 's concept of conservativism as the belief that: A) there are natural laws outside of human control that don't and cannot be changed B) people may deviate from them at their peril C) the role of the state is to keep society in line with these laws
