as someone who saw the decapitation of Daniel Pearl, journalists get to see a lot more than your average Joe, I'd suggest avoid any kind of televised public execution because it could scar you for life.

So much discourse about DIGGER, so here's mine. I mostly liked it. I can see why mass audiences didn't. But critics and people who claim to love movies should know better than to kick an interesting and original film in the balls, because we're going to see less and less of them

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.

Mandela effect alert: A *lot* of people think that the workout montage with ‘Eye of the Tiger’ is from Rocky. It isn’t. It didn’t show up until halfway through the franchise (in Rocky III), but it’s still the only Rocky song most people think about apart from ‘gonna fly now.’

So I disagree...I've actually worked remote for the last 6 years and on and off before that with several companies. Remote teams can still build trust, have great communication and make great games together. It takes a different approach than being in the same office but it can be done and done well

I think about this comic all the time.
Comic by drawer of drawings on Instagram. A detective stands in a kitchen that looks like it's splattered with blood. The detective says, mother of god. Nothing human could have done this. In the bottom panel it says, earlier. And there is a dog uneasily holding a ketchup bottle with its paws trying to put ketchup on a hamburger.
