My headcanon when I get to play this again All items that aren't nailed down are judging me at all times. Inanimate, yet definitely sighing internally when I once again screw up stealth and have to spend 10 minutes dragging bodies into a cupboard and frantically washing blood off myself in a sink

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...

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

I wonder if these people have heard of the Streisand effect. If they haven't, let's hope they learn a thing or two about it over the next couple of weeks, eh?

So pleased to have been able to add precisely one thing to the hosepipe, namely questioning some grammar because I'm an arsehole I'm hoping my kids go to sleep on time tonight so I can really go hunting for misplaced commas

Can't believe I put off watching Sinners for such a long time. Absolutely extraordinary. And even moreso for everything it's got me now thinking about my own relationship with music and cultural identity. So many thoughts. What a film

As it should be! I've been really out of the loop with the movie business for a while, and I was hoping you'd make this exact video so I could have some understanding of where these two movies came from

Ah man, almost makes me want to go back and have a look.

To preempt any comments that definitely won't come because I'm sure everyone gets it, but now I feel anxious; I do know it's a book, I just feel like doing a video in the movie theatre car park would make it extra funny

Can you please do a review sat in your car in the parking lot of a movie theatre immediately after you finish it? Bring a bit of vintage folding ideas energy back.

I'm so torn between wanting to watch it so that if it does come up in my day to day life I'll be able to explain issues with it, but also knowing that watching it will probably make me furious and ruin my day/week

But... But... If this guy is using a LLM to write his stuff then he didn't select the word in the first place!!! I feel like I can't have understood the piece, I feel like I'm going crazy. Not to mention, if it uses a word he wouldn't have, he can change it?! Has the AI literally stolen his agency?

Ok, in theory, could companies remove the DRM from a game that they're discontinuing as part of the sunsetting process, so that people could keep a copy of on a harddrive and transfer back into console memory when they want to play it? I know they wouldn't WANT to, but is it possible?

These are some models that I was paid to print and paint towards the end of 2025 I love that I can see where I've tried new techniques and improved, but honestly the takeaway is more "I can't believe I'm lucky enough that I went freelance and am wildly happier and didn't ruin my family financially"
