Writing a big feature for Polygon back in 2013 also practically covered my entire GDC trip that year and I'm still really grateful for it.

I've been putting together a new book's reference list recently and it's fully of Polygon articles, probably more than any one other industry news site.

Saw this and immediately thought of this Shadowrun book (which is probably the whole point, sorry)

Sometimes I do but I find it has way less details than the other one, sadly. The other one also tends to write character arcs chronologically which is very useful halfway through a series for refreshing your memory without spoilers.

30 books into a 50-odd book Warhammer 40K series, I feel this post in my bones.

I'd almost be fine with it if my replies went through

More of the same would've been great! Bethesda have a super solid formula that you can just slap onto different settings easily. Which makes it more surprising how bland and boring it was. Just all surface and no substance.

I just found it so derivative and soulless! Like someone asked ChatGPT to make Skyrim in space.

That is definitely closer than any other quote I've found!!

I suspect it was already a meme by then! So a reference to the original quote that still might not actually exist.

Yeah I think that's the closest I've previously been able to find and, if i recall correctly, it was absolutely the vibe of the thing but not an actual quote. But there'd be so many preview events around that time he quite possibly actually said it somewhere.

Still appreciated!!

Thanks! Yeah looks like this is the closest I'll be getting to a direct attribution, but at least it is actually him saying it. Interesting it isn't even 'choices'!

Also like, yeah, I think using hard drugs should be decriminalised!

my favourite is the commercial with the woman who says she voted for the greens because she thought they cared about the environment but now they want to decriminalise HARD DRUGS

Thanks to the greenslide, Brisbane is covered in anti-Greens scare campaigns from LNP, ALP, Palmer, and Advance (which is essentially also just LNP).

Yeah it feels like it somehow takes away some of Pico-8's limitations without taking away the magic that Pico-8's limitations afforded. It's still pretty early and rough around the edges, but similar enough to Pico-8 to wrap your head around.

Reeeally enjoying working in #Picotron. More 'powerful' than Pico-8, but with the same cosy feeling. Perhaps even more cosy because the 'entire workspace' vibe makes working exclusively in Picotron feel much more feasible.

That's good to know! Though I don't like my chances of convincing them to do it for my entire university...
