Where’s the sense in that? None that I’ve been able to make out. I’ve been doing comments all my life. For a fleeting moment they become fashionable and I get a major award.

I used to look at an artwork I just finished and think "Uh-oh, I think I've seen this before... Did I accidentally copy it from somewhere?" I eventually realised that yeah, I actually did. I copied it from inside my own head. It looked familiar because I'd been visualising it for days.

Late, as in the late Dentarthurdent. It’s a sort of threat, you see.

The main character is probably a mathive gathol.

Fans: Dune 2 was great! Denis Villeneuve: Please, it’s not Dune 2, it’s Dune PART 2! It’s the second part of my adaptation of the novel Dune! Fans: Oh, OK man. Can’t wait for your adaptation of Dune Messiah then! Denis Villeneuve: …About that...

I don’t “plan” encounters so much. They tend to emerge from the circumstances at play. An encounter is a question: what happens when these opposing forces interact? In that sense, it’s not possible to “derail” them. The outcome simply answers that question and leads to a new situation.

I watched Cloverfield and thought “Ah, after 9/11, Americans truly understand kaiju movies.”

Can someone please tell all the Americans playing Big Walk that kookaburra is pronounced like "cook", not "kook", and the burra is like if you take the "burr" from "burrow", not "burro", and put an a on the end. COOK-a-burr-a.

I don't really do multiplayer any more, but signed up for a month of PS+ to play Big Walk. Got both endings and all the trophies. On the last day of my subscription, I walked solo around the whole island and turned out all the lights like a Dad after everyone else has gone to bed.

I only watched the first three back in the day so I am kind of looking forward to finding out how they continue to find people who think “It’ll be fine, THIS time we’ll do it right!”

Not a scientist, but I recently learned we got hiccups from fish-ancestors (it’s a water breathing reflex), so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a common ancestor for sneezing among early air-breathing tetrapods.

Started watching the Jurassic Park movies for the first time since they came out. Just started The Lost World and it struck me that Hammond is very much the sort of casually exploitative prick who didn’t get punched in the face often enough growing up.

Actually you shouldn’t feed bread to gay sophisticates, it’s bad for their stomachs. You should feed them hors d’oeuvres instead.

Oh yeah, I can see “theme” working that way in a board game context. I probably just mis-read and thought you were talking about tabletop roleplaying games.

Oh, I thought you meant themes such as “the individual versus the group”, “can evil ever be redeemed?”, or “hope overcomes all”. I’d call your list genres and/or tropes, and I think it’s probably fine to combine any number if they are properly syncretised and not just thrown together.

I think a better term for the Manosphere would be the Boyosphere, partly because it would sound like they’re being jocularly mocked by the Welsh.

@dsoart.com I saw this and thought of Blemmy.
Square ad image of a muscular man’s back from the waist to the top of the shoulders. He has a large black ink tattoo of a woman’s face on his upper back between the shoulderblades. The background is a tropical lagoon. Text says “I WILL DRAW THE PERSON YOU’LL MARRY.

Yeeeesss. Three rows of three. Memorised them in “reverse order” because I looked at them through the back of a wire-mesh rack.

Had this on DVD, one of the few movies I watched multiple times. “You said it was clear!” “I said it LOOKED clear.” “Well how does it look now?” “… Looks clear!”

I had some of these! Tried painting one with green enamel model paint, but it slightly melted the plastic and NEVER dried. Sticky forever. Possibly a Toxic Avenger origin story?

If you’re asking in general, I think it depends on the individual. In my youth I enjoyed gaming the subsystems implied by crunchy mechanics, but nowadays I would rather have simple straightforward resolution mechanics.

I am having flashbacks to bushwalks, the scent of dry bushland on a hot day. The swooch sound of footsteps on dry sand is just right. And this might be the first game ever with appropriate use of kookaburra calls.

o---|= Sword Porn ==> “Don’t worry,” he purred, loosening his belt as he grasped his weapon by the hilt. “With the right technique, this is just as versatile in an alleyway, or a piazza… or a bedchamber.” Its well-oiled length slid free, shimmering in the candlelight as he approached the bed. 1/2

Mind you there are actually sparrows on Ceres so maybe it keeps the bird shit out of his hair? Also in the book I think it’s described as a pork pie hat, not a trilby.

Nobody takes it seriously. Everyone tells Miller it’s a fucking stupid Earth-lover affectation that makes no sense, but he keeps wearing it because he’s that kind of stubborn asshole. But he does actually stop wearing it after a season or two.
