Years late to the party, but am finally playing / am slightly addicted to Frostpunk. Good innit. Looking forward to moving onto the sequel and The Alters once I've figured this one out

This video was filmed in Palestine. My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.

Sigh - I loved Grand Theft Auto back in the day, and now I'm wistfully daydreaming of parallel universe where they didn't kill the franchise by changing the protagonist every time, and GTA games are still popular enough to be made in 2026

Had exactly the same thought but suspect it's a red herring unfortunately - the sign at the top implies they recorded that bit at Four Quarters EP (Elephant Park), in London :(

So I suspect a lot was reluctantly left on the cutting room floor for this one, and unfortunately I think it shows in the film, and hurts it a bit. Nolan doesn't do director's cuts, but in this case I feel like an extended Final Cut on blu-ray etc would serve the film very well in the long term

Steve Lee @stevelee.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
I'm sure some felt it dragged on, but I left The Odyssey wishing it was 15 minutes longer. "If we're doing 2h53m, why not do 3h10m and give everything more time to breathe and develop?" Answer: Nolan wanted a longer film, but there is a hard, physical 3hr limit on IMAX reels / projection:

I suspect this kind of thing is fairly typical, and speaks to the huge gulf between all the stuff game designers have thought about and explored during the process of making the game, and what is evident to outsiders in the final implementation

Got talking about this yesterday and revisited it for the first time since being a kid, and the sci-fi take on the whole thing is still great. Genuinely looking forward to going through more episodes

GTA6 has been in development for 12 years. It took the Beatles 8 years to go from their first single, through releasing all their music, to splitting up.

Also infuriating knowing that when you post real comments and replies to your audience, some people will assume you just pressed the AI button anyway, and you now have to put extra effort into writing in a way that people know wouldn't be generated by AI
