WipEout was released 31 years ago. Since the game is set in 2052, we're already more than halfway there. 😁 A technical gem, this Psygnosis game made a huge splash on the PS1 (and other platforms). Especially with its electro soundtrack and in-game branding & artworks by The Designers Republic.

I played two demos today. The first was The Hollowing, a horror flight-sim set in a megastructure, where you are task with flying to various points across a vast expanse of spooky nothingness. I liked it a lot, though it is quite short. It's by the creator of Lorn's Lure, which I also enjoyed a lot.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am
A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

"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.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a whale fall lies at the bottom of the ocean. The bones are covered in a variety of bottom feeders and ocean critters. Panel 2: closer up, the group of bottom feeders are holding red solo cups and chatting with each other. Among the group is a tiger prawn, who thinks to himself, “I needed this…”

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

This. So much of modern video game discourse is eternally stuck in 2012... People desperately need GTA VI to be the biggest game ever because they have nothing to say about what's actually been popular in the last decade or so. They can't process that they're a niche now, they must be the standard.

The thing is, and this is the straight out truth I've encountered, writing this kind of book about empire, one that calls out things directly makes some people very upset. They say things like it's too on the nose, or it's heavy handed. They also want a western story where everything gets resolved +

If you haven't given a look to @sleepergames.bsky.social 's games yet, you should. They're a ton of fun and have really neat weird-ish concepts. If I had to recommend one, I'd say Red Tether, but you can't go wrong with any I've tried. Hell, Hyperspace Dogfight inspired the first videogame I made.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

“Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to the thing they are building.” It’s a myth, a self-affirming form of sense making: they take the action to build it, but insist on describing it as if they are passive witnesses to an inevitable force.

this is VERY PRELIMINARY, and not statistically robust, but early analysis concludes that, in 2018, when DUSK was released, the average year boomer shooters were throwing back to was late 1996, where, today, the average year is approaching 2000
scatter plot showing release year on the x axis and year thrown-back to on the y, with increasing numbers of games going from 2012 to now, and with an expanding range of years thrown-back to that nudges a red trendline upwards

He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...

"It creates lesser games": Indie game studios are supposed to love generative AI, so why do the 25 devs I spoke to avoid it?
"So it may be slightly faster, and a lot worse, but it's also more expensive? Neat"
