My brother and the others affected didn’t deserve this, but to shine a spotlight on an otherwise dark time — he is an absolutely brilliant writer, a genuinely warm hearted human being who will always have your best interest at heart, an incredibly hard worker, funny, charming, and more.

I can’t even picture what Sony looks like trying to make a Capcom style comeback. Like you dissolved a shit load of your reliable, identity defining studios, stymied the creative value of the ones left standing, turned BluePoint into a fart in the wind and let Bungie turn into grey mush.

lmao, yeah okay. can't wait to hear the inevitable news of them greenlighting something and then cancelling it 6-18 months later and wasting everyone's fucking time.

There are so many threads to pull at in Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, so much horribly, horribly good writing and full-circle subplots and ghastly in-jokes for freaks who live for niche historical mysteries. Our review: bit.ly/4wAGE81

no other studio gets shit slop writing like this even when other studios have literal rapists, racists, zionists, etc involved but because your favorite "auteurs" aren't involved anymore you write this inflammatory piece 1/2

I can’t promise that doing so will lead to a job; no one can. but the goal is to have something a job cannot take from you or rule over. as forces pressure us to outsource our critical thinking, research, and creativity, holding onto our own intellectual development is CRUCIAL.

look, I don’t have much positive to say about jobs right now. but growing your creative skills is never a waste. in a world that prioritizes “good enough for non-experts” and the simulacra of competence, growing a practice of critical and artistic thought helps you from sliding down into the muck.
