After 14 years, I have finally fixed an issue with the site code where it adds a 4px border to any image with a caption. Absolutely useless fix, but finally VICTORY. 🎉 Then resolved the issues with centring that the caption fix caused. It can't be bug fixing without more bugs.

The CONTROL website has been updated with new character profiles for Dylan Faden, Jesse Faden, and Zoe De Vera. We can finally put a face to Dylan's mysterious handler. ⚠️ Check out the new images and bios at controlgame.com

A collection of three character profiles. In the first one is Zoe De Vera, who has short cropped brown hair, and a slightly saddened expression. She wears a brown coat over a darker brown fleece jumper and pale blue work short. Some kind of box is secured with a thick lanyard to her. A small wire from it is taped to her neck, with an earpiece.

In the second image is Dylan Faden, looking determined yet slightly reluctant. He is jaw-length hair and a short beard. He wears a greyish blue raincoat of sorts, with a yellow triangle alert symbol.

The final image is of Jesse Faden. Her hair is neck-length. She doesn't make eye contact with the audience, instead staring slightly off to the side. She wears a pale blue turtleneck with a red scarf. Over the top is a blue aviator jacket, and a brown strap of some kind of bag.

Quantum Break is currently 80% off on Steam as part of the Xbox Game Studios Publisher Sale! If you haven't played it yet, make sure to check it out! It is such an underrated gem and a satisfying time travel story. ⌛️ Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/474960/Q...

A Monarch Solutions troop moving throughout Zero State. Time is frozen behind them, dulled by a hazy white light. Behind the heavily armoured trooper is an electric red beam, showing that they are able to break the zero state and move freely as time is suspended.

Jack Joyce, played by Shawn Ashmore, using his time powers to freeze a nearby enemy. Around him, are old brick buildings contrasting with the white spotless science machinery nearby.

Another screenshot from Quantum Break, this time Jack is using his time powers against a Monarch trooper. His hand is lifted, and mirror-like fragments blossom from it.

Jack facing off against a Monarch trooper, this time against a background frozen in zero state. The colours are washed out, and blazes from their weapons spark out more furiously than they would in normal time.

Quantum Break has just now turned 10. Somehow, a decade has slipped past. Wild. A couple of thoughts about the game...

The key art for Quantum Break: Jack Joyce, the protagonist, striding towards us as weird time shards float around his body, reflecting different people and moments in broken time. It's pretty cool.
