ICE is gross. In a lawsuit over inhumane detention conditions on floor 6 of ICE building in San Francisco resulted in a preliminary injunction. So ICE moved detainees to floor 5, claiming that skirts the injunction. Judge says, no way.

People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.
so cool that when Kurosawa made Seven Samurai, he was like, "What if a movie absolutely ripped for three-and-a-half hours straight?"

Thematic expression in game design, or: Why Dune (1992) rules
Games like Dune (1992) and Pirates (1987) are hardly ever made any more. What sets them apart?

I've been thinking a lot about genre lately, and about mapping out "genre landscapes" like the emerging movement of knowledge-driven games. azhdarchid.com/against-metr...
Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

there was a weirdly snide take about how Mystery Games Are Boring but this is actually a bigger thing! dismissal of the mobile audience & leaving them to the worst actors in this space; lowkey proliferation of farming sims; no one can make a non-sweaty extraction shooter until Arc; etc
I feel like you had a few games in mind when you wrote this. Which?

anyway I think the exposure of this fault line makes some people uncomfortable: that there are game-shaped things out there that aren’t for them. but this isn’t going back in the bottle. the Industry is fractured & as soon as everyone — CEOs, devs, gamers, journalists — get that, the better.

they get partial credit because up until fairly recently Linux was pretty user-hostile and inconsistent with well-known issues that just got shrugged at, it’s only because of years of effort to start putting their own house in order that it’s become a realistic alternative to Windows

Since I love procgen / high systemic story generator games, I decided to finally pick up Rim World. But I did not like it, which did not make any sense. So I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why and made a little graph.

Retired federal judge Nancy Gertner points out two Supreme Court decisions, INS v. Lopez-Mendoza (1984) and Egbert v. Boule (2022), that ensure ICE and deportation officers will not be held to the civil liberties standards to which other law enforcers can sometimes be held.

Here he concedes that people have had their fears come to pass when it comes to tech billionaires misusing their wealth to capture political power.
