Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Me: I don't see any reason to use AI Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing? Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This does not surprise me at all

Decided to go back to Unexplored 2 on a whim. It is vastly improved from the release version, still hard, still intriguing and arcane in places but now I am not walking into scenarios every other encounter that feel broken

The fuuuck

@cynicalceezy.bsky.social We are so back

It is only ine line but there is a marine in Halo 2 that will say "You see that? He took MY gun." With an element of pride if you swap guns with him and I think about him at least every couple of months

New game studio classification just dropped.

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Urgh, if there is anyone that can put me off a movie it is Kojima

This is starting to feel like an abusive relationship, in which the one partner has all the power and constantly shifts the goal posts

I decided to go back to Kentucky Route Zero, but instead of playing it on a big screen I've been playing the segments on my ROG ally while I commute - I found I am in the right mental state to play it that way as this feels like I am turning the pages of a book more than playing a game

The face melting scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark

This is utterly crushing. Capcom have been on fire for several years now - the idea of doing this is just miserable

My first post of October is now live! The Ghostface Industrial Complex. Read about my favourite Scream sequel, Trowma, Wes Craven, requels, and more: grave-offerings.ghost.io/the-ghostfac...

Not 'pro-crunch' just 'pro hard work' - well I am sure that will go down super well

What a weekend

Nemesis 2: Nebula walked so that Prey could run. Holy shit, what a movie

You can tell this is a US site that made this as The Chaos Engine is referred to as Soldiers of Fortune and has terrible cover art

oh yeah, don't forget to share and wishlist puppy truck.

Imagining every game as a Simple 2000 game.

The games industry as a whole

It was a solid week of films

This looks gorgeous

Disappointed mainly - never released a book, got married (twice), didn't manage to drink himself to death in 30s... 20 year-old me was an idiot

Not everyone gets to have a 'who's who' of games industry writers and journalists wish you well. Danielle showed up in the second iteration of the Idle Thumbs podcast and I followed her through different publications and it made my day-to-day richer.

There is a part of me going 'Dolly Parton would never'

Why does Starbucks keep failing their baristas? Partners in Ponca City, Oklahoma are organizing a union to demand reasonable and fair improvements to their workplace alongside over 12,000 union baristas across the country!

This needs to be the Skullomania reimaginning now

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

I once watched a roommate struggle with a platforming section in Tomb Raider for 20 minutes before I went "you just have to use all the white boards" and he went "what white boards?". This is a major release and give them a fucking break

It is embarrassing when you are worse than Limp Bizkit

My Jewish mum asked me about the "trans question" about 10 years ago and I went "Oh like the Jewish question?" and she did a lot of reading after that

So, on a smaller level - this is why a new organising tool emerges in your company. Some guy who loves Miro/Favro what have you... goes 'I love this tool for this specific task, I will now try and make it do things it cannot do well' Everyone wants a one-click website that does everything

What usually happens is that I come up with some plot beats that interest me and then drop characters into my story and see if it works. The last script I wrote - some scenes I thought were a good idea no longer worked with the way characters had developed - so I changed the scenes

I played Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and I liked it a great deal. www.xboxtavern.com/onimusha-way... Weird to be saying that this is the second best game I've played of Capcom's, this year.

Some heavily pro-AI guy ended up in my follows... All their retweets were useful blocks.

What you need to understand is when workers want financial security, that’s entitlement. When bosses want financial security, that’s a god given right. If you think there’s hypocrisy there, then buddy, you just don’t get business, and its inevitable natural laws.
