He doesn't seem like a complicated guy who does a lot of self-reflection - I really think it's as simple as it seems. 010

Hovering Torso @tinklepit.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I didn't stick with Returnal, but I figure a health bar is pretty essential in a game with a lot of procedural generation, and most especially a 3D game where you don't have a full view of your surroundings at all times. Like you suggest, a no-hit run is kind of a dice-roll, making it a grind. 020

Hovering Torso @tinklepit.bsky.social · 13/06/2026He's the best performance in it, but that's more a reflection of everyone else being clearly very uncomfortable (Leto had a cushy voice role and an easy, fun villain part). Idris Elba in particular is kinda shockingly bad in the latter part of the film - I didn't think that was possible. 110
Hovering Torso @tinklepit.bsky.social · 08/06/2026She's stating some historical facts (in an annoying and ultimately misleading way) but she's not saying much that Graeber/Wengrow would disagree with. It's a rotten format but the hyperventilating discussion in response is at least as bad - which was the reason she posted the video (ie. it's bait). 010
