I've updated KINOPHOBIA, my horror-mystery parser game from last year's Halloween, with a number of typo fixes. Meaning that now is an *even better* time to play it, if you haven't already – it's legal, it's free, and it's actually quite hard according to most players. brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia
Kinophobia by Bruno Dias
Explore a haunted movie studio. Learn the fates of its tormented souls. End a curse inscribed in blood and celluloid.

one of the best things a sitcom can do for one special episode a few seasons in is put the characters in an unfamiliar location where they encounter another set of characters who resemble them in appearance and interpersonal dynamics

Funny answer? It's crashing out lol.
Serious answer? It's depiction draws from Noh theatre - the moon is meant to resemble the Tsurimanako mask, which is used for god/deity characters. It's also why Link gets the Fierce Deity's Mask on the moon. (MM as a whole uses a lot of Noh elements/themes!)

Speaking of which – I am still looking for work, pretty urgently.
I'm still looking for full-time or contract work – I'm a narrative design generalist with credits on multiple shipped titles. I focus on taming the complexity of narrative systems, writing prose, and leading narrative teams.

You can tell Dishonored (2012) was influenced heavily by Gormenghast because you know both Steerpike and Titus would have received the Outsider's mark.

My unattainable hope is that one day I am so wealthy that I can fund insane artistic projects like hiring Madhouse to adapt The Darkangel Trilogy into an animated film.

I can see how this happened, people assumed it meant performance instead of perform. “Gender is performative” doesn’t mean “gender is a show” it means “gender is continuously asserted.”

The actual, academic meaning of “performative” is (to paraphrase probably too much) a speech act that enacts a material change. Saying “I now pronounce you man and wife” or “it’s a girl.” These are phrases with legal weight that impact lives.

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
