Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Just got back from seeing Mickey 17 and really really enjoyed it. I thought the structure was interesting and different. Loved the complicated romance arc. Loved the alien designs and how their relationship with Mickey. Then you've got Ruffalo doing a great bad guy that I loathed. 9/10 for me.

Skipped GDC this year. It just made too much sense to put that budget in our product instead. Our team has been working hard on our demo these last few months, and I can't wait to show it off at Gen Con this year.

There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."
Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.
I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

So I got Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I'll be honest, the first game didn't grab me. But oh boy did this one. It's truly fantastic. For RPGs, I feel like the sign of a good game is if you can get lost in the side quests. I'm 35 hours in and haven't gone to the wedding yet.

Please play disco elysium. Like not to be dramatic but it's a really important piece of art and I'm sure some part of you will change after playing through it. I don't know what the truly moral means of consuming it is and I'm kind of at the point that I don't care just play it if you haven't.

My mom supported my community involvement around it. Meaning LAN parties were always at my house. She also took me to all the tournaments I competed in. But she never really played games herself. Although, she did get addicted to bejeweled for a while.
