33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

The best part of Control Resonant is how it understands the freaky liminal appeal of simply existing in New York City. My latest for @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/news/control...

‘Control Resonant’ Loves Freaky New York City Just as Much as I Do

This surreal sequel is instantly one of gaming’s best depictions of the Big Apple, an urban kaleidoscope that’s unnerving to witness yet incredible to explore.

Forbes Union statement regarding The New York Times’s reporting on Randall Lane:

Forbes Union statement: As you may have read, the New York Times reported that former Forbes EIC Randall Lane accepted $6 million from RJ Shook, a business partner of Forbes, which led to his firing. Randall Lane consistently stood against the Forbes Union during his tenure. The Forbes Union reaffirms our demand for fair raises that we’ve been denied for years while our editor collected millions of dollars in secret payments. We demand management share more details of what they knew, when they knew it, if this is the only secret payment Randall Lane received, and why they refused to disseminate more information to employees.

Solidarity,
Forbes Union

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

SAM NEILL

GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR

If you were to commit a murder,

how would you do it?

It's got to be big! No slipping

something into someones drink, that's just

pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a

stain on the road. There's probably a couple

of people I'd put under a steamroller,

but I won't say who they are, otherwise

when they see a steamroller coming

their way they'll be on full alert. And

steamrollers don't go very fast...

The fourth island I could not see, as it has crept away to some distance and now lies concealed by fog. The Moiety said that Gehn originally governed from this small island, living and working in a protected space he built for himself atop the stump that remains where the Great Tree used to stand.

Remote protections - making it so that people don’t have to uproot their lives and families to move across the country, and making sure we have access to the best pool of candidates we can. Career progression - Making sure folks who are in associate and mid roles feel like they have a path forward and don't get stuck because the company isn’t willing to promote them."
