If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

Some day Nintendo fans will understand that Nintendo treats its universes as piles of beloved music and iconography to be remixed and recontextualized into fun new games and not an interconnected linear narrative linked by causality

But it is not this day

Yknow I wonder if Disney's the reason for KH's long development time.

Making Square Enix add songs and movies or constantly changing the plan around.

Just a thought.

Turning 30 soon. It's crazy how none of the boomer predictions came true.

1. You'll become more republican as you get older. Nope. Complete opposite.
2. You'll grow out of video games. Nope. Love em more than ever.
3. Your friends won't matter by then. Nope. Friends are more important than ever.

Art isn’t just about making pretty pictures like the AI bros want you to believe.

People are always going to experience heartbreak or joy or anger and they’re going to make art about it because they will have an absolute human need to.
