Re-introduction post time!
I'm Iain, a writer and narrative designer for games and tv. I wrote and designed for League of Legends champions, then was a writer/co-producer for Netflix's The Dragon Prince, and most recently led narrative design for XADIA.
Faint traces of Scottish accent remain.

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.
Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

Been following this thread and brewing up a completely indefensible “Ocarina of Time is underrated” take
I'm playing Ocarina of Time and I'm threading my comments about it here, so real quick:
-Yes, I have played it before
-I didn't like it and quit like 2-3 dungeons in
-It was over a decade ago and I don't remember anything
-No comment on what version I'm playing

another day volunteering at the artificial mouth research lab. everyone keeps asking me
This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.
It sounds so human-like!

The Avatar discourse is driving people to James Cameron madness. I saw some folks saying Terminator 2 is bad. Please, get a hold of yourselves.

I was pretty into the two-part opener of Attack On Titan and then the third episode was so uninteresting by comparison that I just kinda forgot to ever watch it again
What’s an episode of a TV show that was so bad it made you quit watching it altogether?
For me, it was this 2012 Doctor Who Christmas special, which contained the same tired “Doctor WHO?” joke no fewer than four times

In the flying bike sections of Greendog on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis), if you press the C button too fast, perhaps with a turbo controller, the game really struggles — the music slows to a crawl and enemies basically stop spawning, making it very easy
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Pretty funny that Bari Weiss has backed herself into the position of insisting that obeying the government is heterodox counterculture
Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story because she wanted to have Stephen Miller included and demanded to control the language 60 Minutes used to describe the men who were brutally tortured after being sent to El Salvador without due process.

I would’ve said Portal 2 at the time because I didn’t play Dark Souls until much later. Now I’d say Dark Souls a million billion kajillion times over
Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2011, if you had one, and what you would say your favourite game of 2011 is now, if it differs

Would’ve said FTL and that’s probably still the best game here, but Virtue’s Last Reward hijacked my vocabulary. Whenever you’re in a tense situation, you gotta hit ‘em with the Phi Wikipedia Stare

Just wanna take a moment to note that the people who wanted a government opposed to trans health care for minors had to do this to get it. It's one and the same thing
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Happy Anniversary to Terranigma! 🎂🥳🎉
Today marks its release in Europe and Australia for the SNES. It was never released in North America after Enix of America closed, reportedly because Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia didn’t perform well enough financially.
