The result in Brazil is heartening to be certain, but we as a species really need to move beyond this era where "the warm smile on the cheeks of a golden child" and "crucifixions lining the highway" always splits 51:49.
Not looking forward to the immediate future where all game development is a dude in a gilded swimming pool mashing a giant "regurgitate open world ubisoft tower slop" button and we all just have to lap it up for lack of alternatives.

Eleven months ago I DM’d Mr Palmer on Bluesky asking if he could recommend any freelance Chinese reporters… and that’s how long my torturous editing process takes.
But it’s a pretty fun read! Especially London developers boasting about the investment case for British NIMBYism.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.
Slight moment of chronausea glimpsing the cover of Island Business on my way onto the ferry and seeing a Cybertruck on the sporting grounds of my old school.
Only slight chronausea, mind, cuz I remember what my schoolmates were like.
Goebbals' film unit quickly gave up churning out crap like this in favour of vapid romantic comedies for the same reason the only tickets this atrocity against taste will sell will have to be bulk-bought by State Department employees: pro-regime propaganda is box office poison.
