I DIDN'T KNOW KALANDRA WAS IN @remedygames.com's CONTROL: RESONANT! I thought this was just a short title theme. But no, it's a full song. Fantastic. I listen to Kalandra all the time when writing. 💖

And I hesitate a bit more to add, I see some overlap with it and AI slop. In the sense that some adherents to the doctrine would just accept anything as art.

I'm sympathetic to what Dadaism was attempting and how it was nihilistic & anti-capitalist. And the historical influence I think is significant. But so much of Dadaism, I feel, was ignoring the human spirit to spite it as the source of conflict. Much of that art does not resonate with me at all.

Tangentially, Dadaism is shit art. There, I said it.

It's part of the Hiss incantation from the Control games by Remedy. It's Dadaist, nonsensical poetry the zombie antagonists of the games speak as they float about or attack the player character.

Producer wisdom: It costs time to make anything. And time is money. Having little money means having little time.

I don't think producers and creative directors deserve some of the salaries we sometimes see if we are lucky (I have a hard time believing anyone should make six figures USD$) but I also don't think most understand what a difficult job it is to tease out something new, unique, or worth publishing.

I'm elevated by some wonderfully talented people who are incredible at their creative specialties and it's difficult to not worry whether I've given them the best materials to work with and create resonant art. Because otherwise the journey doesn't continue.

Having that feeling of deep uncertainty of the self that comes before revealing anything as an artist. Always second guessing yourself, wondering if you couldn't have done better given the time and tools available to you. Hoping there's just one audience member who sees what you see in your work.

Yay! I've been curious when we might see OSR drop. I might be biased but SAR and policing stories at the edge of space are the best.

As an author, I want to show trans characters in a sympathetic light, but not in a moralizing one. I want to see morally grey characters across humanity. I don't want to fear the politics of portrayal, because I believe that sanctifying queer characters only plays into the far-right's narrative.

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir's Speech At The UN On Saturday

Iceland’s Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir spoke at the UN General Assembly on Saturday in a speech that has gone, as they say, viral. On the previous day, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke, and while he did so, the majority of UN delegates left the hall. To which Netanyahu responded by saying, “If there are any other moral cowards who haven’t left the hall, please do so now.” Iceland’s delegation did not leave the hall and received some criticism for not having done so in solidarity with those nations whose representatives did. However, Þorgerður Katrín did respond in her speech, and without naming names said, “We have heard the words ‘moral cowards’ from this podium. To me, moral cowards are those leaders of the world who refuse to sit down and negotiate a just and lasting peace. Those leaders who deny access to humanitarian aid for people in desperate need. And moral cowards are those leaders of the world who repeatedly go against and disrespect international law.”

But I want to be clear, too: the game is a heck of an achievement and the team should be proud. Particularly as the studio is working on two games at once and Sam Lake was barely involved. This is still a worthy sequel even with its minor disappointments.

Resonant is great, it's just that: 1) As said, the numbers on some of those boss fights in the mid-game are brutal. (The final boss was tough but I didn't need Assist Mode; it was 'suitably' tough.) 2) Map is rough. 3) Story is a tad more predictable than I'd have liked from a Remedy game.

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”
