I am (obvs) going to keep surfacing this Alien game dev talk I am hosting in Brighton, on October 14. It's gonna be really interesting (I think!) to hear how working with licensed properties differs between the 90s and now; and to simply learn about adapting something so iconic. luma.com/p4pjgibd

Morning. We're having a little do in Brighton. If you are into game development, I hope it's something you'll be interested in. Making an Alien game in the 90s 'vs' making one in the 2010s. The challenges with each, and the solutions found. Also: games to play, drinks to enjoy, books to check out.

A skate park does more to reduce knife crime than “more bobbies on the beat”, the only difference is middle class white people are scared of groups of kids at skate parks and they’re comforted by the presence of the police.

Sincerely, if you're not enjoying video games like you used to, maybe it's time to step away and enjoy another hobby. Go read a comic book. Or a novel. Or watch a TV show. Play a sport. Just go do something else for a couple months. If you want to play again, you'll come back eventually.

To those inappropriately and alarming hyped for the newly revealed Metroid title:

Top Panel: The grouchy, unhelpful, unsympathetic and outright mean bus driver from The Simpsons episode "Lost Our Lisa" (Season 9, Episode 24) – scoffingly saying, "Don't make me tap the sign."

Bottom Panel: An edit of a frame/stillshot from said Simpson episode of said bus driver pointing at/tapping a sign that (usually) reads "DO NOT TALK TO DRIVER" – the sign edited to instead display an article detailing the abusive and hostile working conditions of MercurySteam, from the site "Game Developer" (formerly known as Gamasutra), during the production of that company and Nintendo's Metroid Dread:

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

Poster for Reacher season 4. Title character posing and looking annoyed about something. Maybe because his t-shirt is too tight.

Cover art for Dracula Cha Cha Cha by Kim Newman, book 3 of his Anno Dracula series. The title is presented in the shape of a gun, and the whole design is like a pulp horror movie poster.

Title art for Hollow Knight Silksong, shows the title and the protagonist, Hornet.

Farage is such a mini-Trump that he has the same damn weird impulse to leak out the truth between the lies.
