do not reply to me like this please
Some guy pretending to be a sage asking me to be passive about the mediums I love being threatened and shrugging off that animation artists, very real people that I like, are having their jobs threatened by the monopolisation of the industry: 

“Watch less corporate ‘content’ and be happy. TV and movies are still relatively ‘recent’ in human history, there’s no reason to believe they’ll stay around forever.”

please do not be like this doofus

wrote about CONTROL RESONANT and all of the ways its imagery fluctuates and shapeshifts, almost as much as the actual buildings and roads do (which is a lot, it's awesome)

no spoilers for a lot of the article, there's a big fuckoff warning before that happens so should be fine, please do give it a read! or bookmark it and read it later if you're playing the game, which you should

a character in the game outright says it but a cool thing about the FBC is how normal it all feels - something which also makes Dylan more of a tragedy because the agents all hate him for being a product of their bosses starving him of that very normalcy

can’t really talk about the (outstanding) portion of the game I’m in rn so focusing in on a detail I saw today which I love: in the reading on Hiss and Mold enemy types, the two different researchers have a potential romance going on

TWO areas the late game is so insane lmfao I love this so much. I’d post clips but honestly want other people to experience the same joy I’m feeling seeing these locations the first time

kambole campbell @kambole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I take it back - there’s another area a bit later on in the game which blows this out of the water

CONTROL RESONANT is really fun almost immediately but man, when you get the gravity shift power it’s just something else. The West Incursion Zone is some of the sickest open world design ever

A review of Resident Evil (2026)
after actually seeing this it’s even more wild to me that gamers online, myopic through their fixation on lore wikis, are arguing that this is a “regular zombie film borrowing the Resident Evil name.”...

First thing @kambole.bsky.social did was apologize for this Blood of Dawnwalker piece because it was going to be short. Then he turned in 1,000 words. re:frame #106, out now:

This is really sad news. Some brilliant writers came up through The Skinny and they were continuing to do excellent work. The bleakness of the culture journalism landscape in the UK really cannot be stated enough

I need to add the note that Anna Torv is spectacular in how she plays both Olivias without overdoing it on the differences in body language or demeanour, especially as one pretends to be the other. It’s always visible but never signposted in big neon lights, she’s awesome
