The fog chilling setup actually works a little too well….

Why am I seeing Billy Corgan discourse? Ugh go away Mr. Whineypants

NY’s 21st congressional district is in play? I grew up there; it’s as red as any place in the US. The klan did an outreach effort there when I was high school. That there’s even a chance a Dem could win that seat is shocking.

Not all heros wear capes. Have this talk with your new hires.

Just saw Wildwood. One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful movies I’ve seen in years. The story would shine on its own, but in combination with the breathtaking hand animation it is truly a masterpiece.

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

Go see Wildwood. Seriously, don’t wait—go see Wildwood. What a piece of art. The love for the manual craft, for story that doesn’t hold back, for filmmaking that is not here to answer to stockholders, it weaves all through it. Incredible stuff.

Our entry for the “Alameda Haunts” house decorating contest is “The Next Martha’s Vineyard And Definitely Not Cursed.” It’s a fundraiser for alamedafoodbank.org and this year there’s a people’s choice award, so vote for entry 26 if you like it (and please consider a donation). #widowsbay

Me, seeing results from Serbia and Brazil:

Meanwhile, the Democratic governor of California decided that throwing trans people under the bus is the way to win.

I need more people to see Wildwood. Not only is it stunning, there is zero chance of risky, original animation coming in the future if films like it don’t make enough money. I wish it weren’t the case but it’s the reality of where things are.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Congress: Pass the Bipartisan Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act (MPTERA). Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Knicks business office employees aren’t getting rings but did get an email saying they would that ultimately was a phishing test by their cybersecurity team? James Dolan’s reputation as an asshole remains unblemished. (Source: www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...)

Based on what I'm hearing so far, EA has not been handling the layoffs particularly well (and I'm being generous). If you're an EA worker who'd be open to confidentially corroborating information I've received, please reach out. DMs open Email: chris.kerr@verticalslice.news Signal: kerrblimey.43

Games are made by people and game studios are made of people but game studios are also made of institutional knowledge, continuity, practices, standards, technology, resources, and IP. And those things do mean something, and it is a loss when they're discarded.

A calm, reasonable take about bicycle helmets? In this economy?

If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy). Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

Things that are hard to explain to people in the rest of America: the school district in a community where the median sold home is $3,611,172 at $1,798 per square foot, is doing budget cuts because voters voted down renewing a $800 per year property tax.

This is the upstate NY content I’m here for!

You first, big guy

Frank Oz is coming to talk to my son’s “Little Shop of Horrors” cast today and no I’m not insanely jealous why do you ask?

Dad mode level-up: I was in Home Depot last night and a younger woman, on the phone with her roommate, turned to me to ask for help with repairing a hole they’d put in their wall. “How big is the hole? Good you won’t need to replace drywall. This patch kit’ll do. What you’re gonna do is….”

I always thought that claim was a little fishy. A sophisticated bot operation doesn’t have physical redundancy?
