Saw The History of Concrete tonight, it was good.

Control Resonant’s patch broke the sidequest I’m working on and I think I gotta pause my playthrough til it’s fixed. 😞 Let me eat mold!

New Gears is real good so far

Our defense continues to be ass, but it’s kinda fun the Lions have scored 31pts in every game this season.

There’s a lot of tangible reasons to praise Control Resonant, but its ability to stick in your brain when you’re not playing is really something. Remedy has created such a compelling, mysterious world to poke around in.

If you fart in the Backrooms will there be residual copies of the smell floating around in there, or what?

Blood of Dawnwalker is great but wtf we’re they thinking with the random, overly simple QTEs?

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

Choosing an art style that exacerbates aliasing is certainly a choice. Noisy, noisy visuals. Maybe final product will look cleaner but sheeeesh?

Congratulations to the Haley Stevens campaign on their crackerjack strategy of being super islamaphobic and weirdly antisemitic to Jewish people who disagreed with her policies

Weird issue with my PS5 Pro a where it consistently hard locks instead of going into sleep mode after I walk away for a few hours. The only fix is to unplug and replug the console to make it functional again. Anyone had similar issue? It’s the only problem I’ve had with the hardware.

Mannnn, this new Gears looks great. I’m such a mark for this series.

The Cape Fear series on Apple TV is not good, but we couldn’t look away. It’s absolutely style over substance with some atrocious dialogue but I’m hooked.

I don’t know how I would watch basketball all season if my team was full of flopper and foul baiters like the Cavs. Just a disgusting, slow and boring style of play.

For the love of god, pull Duren. He’s been awful all post-season. This game is begging for Bball Paul.

The 76ers are awful, I can’t think of an easier cupcake post-season than the Knicks have lucked into.

Watching the Pistons in the play-offs is like suddenly being surrounded by a group of clowns and they won’t stop pushing you around like it’s a most pit and there’s inexplicably a strobe light going off. I’m gonna throw up.

Now that we’ve agreed SteamChart pocket watching is dumb b/c Marathon rocks, we can also agree not to push “X game has lost Y% of its players a month after launch” content, right? There are bigger things to worry about, but that coverage actively hurts games and importantly the folks who make them.

Hey Bone Temple was the best movie I’ve seen in a hot minute. 28 days/weeks/years continues to be very good at tricking you into thinking you’re there for the zombie movie when you really just want a movie on humanism.

Replaying Alan Wake 2. The way this game blends gameplay and FMV together is something special, man.

A screenshot from Alan Wake 2 where the player character has a projector to his back, creating the allusion of a set of hands clasped around his back.

The vast majority of research about diversity from the last 30 years shows, unambiguously, that diverse organizations outperform non-diverse ones. DEI policies are not some weird leftwing social engineering project; they are what happens when you follow the data on organizational performance.
