The worst part of working on a live service game is that if it fails, it might kill the studio. But if it succeeds, it's the *only* game you're making for the next ten years

Deeply appreciate Allan Heinberg's attempt to sell "Way back in 2022 we looked at the remaining fifty-eight issues of Sandman and went 'yeah, that looks like about a season's worth of television'" with a straight face.

Lovely write up on the history and work of This Is Pop, maker of fantastic web games and my first job as a game designer. Bible Fight was the first non-IP game I got to pitch and design, and I’ll always be grateful for the chance. medium.com/@seanmichael...

So, Sonic 3 has an… unsettling amount of emphasis on a teenage girl’s feet? Like to the point you start wondering/hoping if her running around in stockings at all time is gonna be a plot point, but it never is, it’s just really creepy?is that a theme with these movies?

Notch is a racist. Notch is a misogynist. Notch is a homophobe and transphobe. Do not give Notch your support. Do not give Notch your money.

Goddamn, Willam Dafoe just picks up that movie and walks away with it. Lily Rose Depp is… also a person who is physically present, more or less.
