FYI if you own property in LA and your insurance hasn’t renewed since the fires: be ready. My condo premium has just TRIPLED. (Not in a high fire zone)

It’s always been a curiosity with how complex the weaving of timelines is in TLOU2, what if there was an option, similar to that one DVD menu option in Christopher Nolan’s MEMENTO, to play the events of TLOU2 in strictly chronological order?

The most infuriating thing on the internet is incorrect subtitles on tik tok videos, especially from official channels that are of the source of the content. I know AI makes this effortless, but bro just proofread the shit once I feel like I’m going insane.

Aw man did I miss the yellow paint discourse? Anyway the ign video and @eddcoates.bsky.social did a great job of explaining the problem, including naughty dog’s solution, which is to create a unique climbable handhold language for every art look in the game, of which there are dozens.

Here's a closer look at the title/logo sequence I created for the "Intergalactic" trailer using practical/analog FX. The spiral background is a miniature magnetic vortex @steph-sheridan.bsky.social & I made, filmed at 1000fps. The logos were made with CRT TVs & glitch hardware. More info in alt txt!

What a night! Crazy to think this is out there now after 4 years of secrecy. Such a dream project with a dream team. Can’t wait for trailer breakdowns people picking up on hints of this world. There’s soooooo much you don’t know! 🌀🚀

Really liking Indy so far. There should be more period games. Really feels like playing a movie (ugh I hate that phrase). Troy is truly amazing my brain is just hearing Harrison Ford. Fuck Nazis.

This is dope. Fun fact, I’m pretty sure Uncharted 4 was the last game to say “Sony Computer Entertainment Presents” in the opening credits.
