if there's anything i've learned after 15 years in this goddamn city, it's that finding someone who isn't a scumbag or a liar is harder than finding a thimble, a clock, a hula hoop, an hourglass, a picture frame, a duvet cover, a cookie tin, a claw hammer, a basketball, a toothbr

Hey, uh... I... don't want to brag but my publication literally runs an anime print magazine. We shipped our second issue last month. So we're trying to rebuild that ecosystem as well as we can.

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.

A four panel comic titled "Hours, Bananas, Doors."
Donkey Kong awakens staring at himself in a mirror, then stares down at his hand as he notices a strange watch on his wrist.
Staring at his wrist, the watch turns out to be one of the numbered bracelets from 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors from the Zero Escape series. It's Junpei's bracelet. For some reason.
Peach then asks a confused Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong? Have you ever heard of the Parallel Banana Theory?"

Three days of playing safely, analyzing weaknesses, planning routes carefully: my best run gets to the end of act two. "FUCK IT, FLOOR TWO PRISM WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN": Probably could've beaten the act three boss if I hadn't forgotten hemokenisis cost HP and killed myself.

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

Reread this (to date) in one session recently. One of my smuggest room temperature takes has been that Moore & Gibbons anticipated every possible permutation of the superman. I was prepared to die on that hill. I was wrong. The Power Fantasy is a hit of menthol straight to the brain.

Cel-shading is when you shade Cell like in the anime

Cell from Dragonball Z: Three frames, the left is a flat-colored drawing of Cell labeled "Cell". The middle frame is Cell but he has been soft-shaded, it is labeled "Cell (shaded)". The last frame of Cell is a recreation of the Cel-shaded style of the Dragonball Z anime and is labeled "Cel-shaded"

p.s. I didn't draw the line-art I just colored it for this because I couldn't find a good example of Cell without any shading.

If you're doing 2D game dev in Unity or Godot, at some point you're going to hear a little voice in your head saying "you know, I bet I could save myself the trouble of having to code a lot of really fiddly edge cases if I just make this thing a physics object". That voice is the Devil talking.
