Rewatching Andor, it’s a really good second watch. Also a layer of nostalgia as it was a bit of a North Star for Catalyst for me, writing wise. It’s so robustly and well written without straying from the genre and franchise. Elevates, doesn’t deviate. Finds the truth that was always there.

The new McCarthyism. Violent censorship of left-wing political speech in the name of national interest. And like the Red Scare, these actions were enabled by many Democrats who thought they could do reasonable, managed suppression, until the right inevitably took the reins.

Bungie's Marathon shows great promise, but it's still missing something at the very core of its extraction gameplay loop, making it difficult to predict how Marathon will launch or where it might one day end up. My hands on impressions: youtu.be/bZVwBavB0Mg?...

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing people that see their value and are strong enough not to go back to toxic places. I don’t care who you are, that shit feels good to see 🫶 Amazing how loss brings incredible new starts outside of our own expectations of how things would go.

I pretty regularly shit on “blight” and “corruption” because it’s simultaneously boring and EXTREMELY common - almost like it’s a ‘default’ devs fall into when considering how to make their world hostile. But suggesting ‘corruption’ is some sort of DEI initiative is genuinely 10/10 hilarious.

To be clear I'm absolutely not saying quality journalism isn't worth paying for - I am subscribed to multiple sites personally. It is not a problem for me personally. My point is that right-wing misinformation is infinitely more accessible and that's a problem for ~society~.

It feels like a significant amount of quality news outlets are behind paywalls while absolutely none of the inflammatory right-wing ones are and in an age of overwhelming misinformation combined with increasingly poor media literacy I just have… no idea what we’re supposed to do about that.

Fairly certain (at least) two recent AAA games have used AI voices but because the SAG deal hasn’t closed there’s nothing requiring them to disclose AND it’s tough to call out on the off chance that it is, instead, somehow, just truly atrocious voice acting from a real person. I hate this.

When they wind them back, they're gonna refer to them as the Biden Tariffs and be like 'we had to do them because of the economy that Biden left us. The Biden Tariffs were terrible, folks, but we got rid of them. We got rid of Biden's terrible tarifs and now America is back in business'.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

Big fan of director James Whale being asked by censors to provide a "moral lesson" to the end of 1935's Bride of Frankenstein and responding that 2/3s of the main cast getting blown up in the end should give "sufficient warning to anybody, I should think."

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events. The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off. Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events. While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

“Oh my GOD the cast we’ve assembled for this film! Peter Gallagher! John Lithgow! Frances McDormand! Top shelf! We need a title that befits their level of respect!” “Don’t worry, it’s covered.”

AI story stuff always shows its hand by boringly spewing data and plot at breakneck speed. Storytelling is about graceful revelation and paced conveyance of information. Generative models don’t do negative space, or rather, they don’t do it asymmetrically.

Too many times have I lost interest in otherwise fun people because they took fiction too seriously. And not in the understandable “I care about this a lot because it’s my hyperfixation” kinda way, but in the dopey “I demand these characters be held accountable for their crimes” kinda way.

It is crazy to me that the last 4 times a Republican has been elected they have fucked over the economy and people still elect them thinking they’ll fix the economy. People are fucking dumb.

I know I'm broken record mode, but the Democrats refusal to drive public conversation rather than reacting to it is baffling! Republicans convinced their base to LITERALLY DIE OF DISEASES because of the party's position and Dems can't popularize social services and democracy? fuck off!! that's nuts!
