Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Probably the biggest issue in modern large-scale media today from a writing perspective is that writers don't know how to write heroes, they only know how to write superheroes. And I'm not even sure they know there's a difference. 010
Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Something made clear from the last few years in gaming, and a consequence of execs thinking about game devs as interchangeable laborers on a factory line rather than creative contributors, is that assigning individually talented people together on a project is not the same as building a team/studio. 020

Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Anyone getting mad at the Kennedy Center protesters for not protesting something else are just bitter that a few bored resist lib wine moms have garnered more national media attention in an afternoon than all 10,000 of their Twitter posts combined. 051
Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This will comes as a shock to many social media slacktivists but literally anyone with some arts and crafts supplies and time to kill can stand on a street corner and protest.

Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 20/09/2026As viciously repulsive as the idea is, I don't see any real option other than putting boots on the ground in Yemen to push back the Houthis.

Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Okay to actually be fair, I do put most of the blame on the top of the company pyramid for bad decisions, but Halo is the first time I started to wonder about the lower level talent. A lot of remake changes weren't holistically rebalanced, in a way that suggests not getting the original design. 110
Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The Halo CE remake is proof perfect that "games are expensive and hard to make" is a hollow excuse for modern AAA practices. They had 10x the number of developers working on a *remake*, and it turned out worse and less feature-complete than the original. It's all down to terrible mismanagement. 122

Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I am so fascinated by the business model of the new Wardogs game. They had a budget between $10-20 million, which is already incredible in affordability in this market. The wild thing is the claim they could sustain the game with 3k-5k dedicated players. I'm so curious how that math works out. 100

Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 16/09/2026One of the things I find so interesting about old board games is how many of them were purely an excuse for social interaction, almost like a group fidget toy. The actual game sucks as a game but works as a social lubricant. It explains why Hasbro originally classified Ouija boards as board games. 010

Locality Requisitioner @placeholder56.bsky.social · 15/09/2026One of the funny ironies of 40K lore is that despite "hersey!" basically being the tagline of the franchise, the Imperial Cult is such a syncretic and heterodox religion that it's almost impossible to be a heretic. There are almost no dogmas basides "the Emperor is the master of mankind." 110

![Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.
A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5vphilwcf6nunioeyrpxw6g/bafkreibeadpx66jtqlttglhgbgkew6g65haxqngz5yt6p3ybwyi5zney54)
