The box office has me wanting a Nathan Fielder Alfred. "So you find it hard to be near people?" "They don't know me. I need to be secure. Isolated. They could turn at any time." "Bruce, you have a file on how to hurt every one of your friends and you're worried that they don't trust *you*?"

My emails pitching a new star wars trilogy with a body text of "pay whatever it takes to make villeneuve do the whole butlerian jihad" have clearly not been received

Thank you solitary rook who failed to jump me in outpost when I had my headphones off only to start slinging slurs for giving me an actually ethically justifiable reason for a <10s final circle execution. I thought the BM ones felts great

Dynasty Warriors Gundam is giving me a newfound respect for Kamille I am *struggling* to keep everyone from self sacrificing and oops we get to reset thirty minutes because Quattro got stunlocked and comboed by Haman while I was dealing with Emma/Recocca and all of their Scirocco nonsense line

Call me paranoid but I actually don't think I'll be going to the capital to see a countdown celebration for a nuclear war and the imminent release of a more realistic visual overhaul for the wasteland of DC

Todd Howard has delivered a huge update on the furture of Fallout, including updates on Fallout 5, confirmation of Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters, a new Fallout 76 expansion, and more https://kotaku.com/fallout-5-is-in-preproduction-and-fallout-3-and-new-vegas-remasters-are-on-the-way-2000717079

That engines can just be swapped or that some have an implicit "better." An engine is a tool not a solution, and what's vastly more important is if the team has familiarity and a pipeline to use that tool. And that's before considering how much of a box engine gets rewritten for a game's use case

I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.

I know 9 episode premium is the template, but Persona would be fucking perfect for 25 40min episodes of Yu's Declassified, complete with filler episodes and detached comedy B-plots slow-burning the team dynamic. There's even in-universe justification for the traditional ep14 beach and ep19 musical

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

If I was in control of a decade long run as the default engine with a pipeline of resources around making game logic in a visual scripting tool that entrenches people in its design I don't think I would announce that I'm killing it to go back to a text script in the coming years and expect applause

Grabbing tickets to Rashomon and Fast and The Furious 25th anniversary showing because if you can't enjoy the 7/11 coffee next to the artisanal prepared pour over you're unnecessarily limiting the human experience I live my life across many roads, but always a quarter mile at a time

Tuner was incredibly surprising. Expected more of the Baby Driver character action feel, and instead got a tight character drama that uses that driving audio focus in its own distinct way. Big recommend on the best sound system near you

Our game is finally live on the app stores!! Whisper Castle is a f2p casual merge game with a campy soap opera inspired mystery romance story. Christine has finally left her terrible husband after finding out his tech startup was a scam, but now she has to rebuild her life--and an abandoned castle!

Really enjoy Boots Riley's silhouetting of discrete, antagonistic individuals against the systems and imbalances that enable them. Societal ills keep faces for blocking purposes without getting lost/reduced to a single entity, and stay fun to watch as both get attacked from complementary angles

Obsession the type of movie that makes Word start Green Goblining me into writing long form critique essays Not because it's a classic but why show a new mantle for Chekov, load his gun, put it away, then in the scene shoot a different, better gun and not just cut the three lines on the worse gun
