Fun @ign.com piece on 13 in-limbo games. One point I disagree with, though: I don’t think Ubisoft should kill Beyond Good & Evil 2 to focus on the PoP remake instead. I know it’s on the cusp of vaporware, but I still want to believe #BGE2 could be spectacular. tinyurl.com/mryxdsv3

Just played through the #Pragmata demo on #Switch2 and love-love-loved it. You’re on a moon base. It’s low-gravity exploration of high-tech areas with lots of verticality. And a super fun marriage of in-combat hacking (that feels amazing) and gunplay. Runs great on Switch 2, too. Sold.

Mini Review: #WildernessReform by Matt & Harrison Query. Creepy youth camp where the counselors aren’t what they seem. Unabashedly masculine. At times, mysterious. Violent. Fun. Couldn’t put it down. It’s going to be a movie next. https://tinyurl.com/5xc4nd47 #booksky

Question for any #indieauthors out there. You have a reliable vendor/outlet for original human-crafted cover art? In the past I’ve tried 99 Designs, but the last time around I stipulated that no AI could be used and all I got were AI covers. #booksky #artist

Okay, I know #AISLOP and all that, but AI is great for doing BS images to use as jokes/memes with friends. My bro, for example, hasn’t yet read my third book, so I’ve been sending him increasingly funny images that showcase what he’s doing with it instead.

Rabbit-holed Alec Guinness and #StarWars tonight. Settled science here seems to be that he hated the whole affair. He certainly didn’t love the script. Called early drafts appalling. But he talked fondly of the finished movie. And he made 2.25% on it! For at least a decade, he reveled in that.
