Need me to draw you a green faced witch with double scythes? The bog witch from Jibaro? What about a straight up sorceress? I can do that for you for a very reasonable price

I had a great dream last night. I had a Pokémon named Javabeans. It was just a four foot tall fluffy bat squished into an oil barrel that belched out flamethrowers whenever I asked I 🧡 you Javabeans

Metal Gear Online is a beautiful game because a lot of actions are kinda slow and clunky, like dropping down and hanging from a ledge, but that means nobody actually expects you to do them which actually makes them pretty effective tricks.

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

The second part is: why do we tend to characterize Lovecraft's racism as pathological? And that's because in 1975, that's how L. Sprague de Camp characterized it in the first widely-published biography of Lovecraft. De Camp made a post of posthumously assigning neuroses to a lot of dead people.

This is actually a two-part question, though most folks don't realize it. The first part is relatively easily answered: by the standards of his time, Lovecraft's individual prejudices (white supremacy, nativism, antisemitism, homophobia, etc.) were relatively common. That doesn't make them okay.

One question I’m genuinely asking is, Was HPL a bigot BY THE STANDARDS OF HIS TIME, or was he something more, a genuinely pathological xenophobe?

I know it's reductive and not actually reflective of the reality of game dev but it is FUNNIER to read that article that claims Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a "core team of 75 people" when in actuality over 1000 people worked on the game as "upper/middle management team of 75 people."

I saw someone point out a detail in MGS4 that I never noticed which is that Big Boss wears the same coat that Liquid wears in MGS1 (or perhaps vice versa, Liquid was wearing Big Boss' coat all along.)

This is making me rethink the themes of the Metal Gear Solid series. I think we misunderstood Hideo Kojima when he said that Metal Gear Solid is about what we pass down to the next generation. It wasn't Memes, Genes, and Scenes. It was Memes, Genes, and SEAMS!; or, hand-me-down clothing!

Toho should randomly put Baragon in more movies like how he somehow made the lineup alongside Mothra and Ghidorah in GMK (not even making title billing, poor fella)

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg
