Someone saying they're doing a 'totally blind playthrough' of a game when it's blatantly not the case is one of my most pettest of peeves. Bloke playing Bloodborne and fighting a boss for the 'first' time: 'Almost at the second phase!'🤔

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Big Miro boards only make sense to the people who created them. (I say this both as a creator of overly complex boards as well as someone who is trying to navigate ones made by others).

In light of David Robert Mitchell finally being released from movie jail to make a crazy dino movie, I rewatched Under The Silver Lake, and damn if it isn't one of my favourite films of the last 10 years. It was tragically misunderstood and unfairly maligned at the time. A modern classic in my book.

Bottom row: a photo of a viscacha, perched on a rock that's at an angle, next to a photo of a tired Ben Affleck tired on a balcony that's similarly angled from the perspective it was taken.
