i've always been fascinated by like the shape of guns and what they imply. this has, over time, led me down a dark path and now i know what a "VAG-72" is.

i like when concept artists are hyper mentats who know both the visual language of firearms/buildings/tanks/clothing/etc + the real problems solved & introduced by design, how they all fit together. i think thats way cooler than denoising a latent image 100 times and picking whats "cool"
I think it's nice when concept art shows the evolution of people's creative processes instead of a prompt, but what do I know

"exploration" in video games feels like a dirty word to me because it feels very associated with big sparse skyrim/botw environments. but exploring small dense places is really where it's at -- the spencer mansion, mimiga island, prehevil

there is a deeply "console wars" quality to arguing about what medium is best for Art or Stories. creative people dont approach that decision from a neutral overhead position. whatever they want to do painfully boils out of them and whatever bucket they are used to operating will be what catches it

i really want to know patient zero for the american pronounciation of wagyu as "waygoo" or "wagu". that's not a logical thing to do. the y is right there. a japanese guy sold it to you. this is clearly one guy saying it wrong somewhere in time and it just just caught on

i recently sat down with the re4 remake for the first time, and while it could have been much worse, it is certainly a game with 6 "shoot the blue medallions" side quests

oscar wilde had it the wrong way around. we are all stars, but too often, we find ourselves looking into the gutter.

youtu.be/phiWRZ_VCCA fun video about an arcade genre that doesn't seem quite as well-remembered as, like, shmups. i had a little difficulty picking out the voice over from the background music but it's definitely worth it. you gotta share videos like these so they don't fly under the radar!

thinking about "sauce". a game can be saucy but not like a person is saucy. you can be on the sauce, lost in the sauce, something can have the sauce, have too much sauce. you can have no sauce but thats not the same as being sauceless. and of course sometimes the sauce comes on the side.
