Hi Bluesky!
I make null/void deathscapes and sunken monuments to mankind's eternal hubris
I also made a retro-futuristic cyberpunk game, Jazzpunk

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

GTA6 stands to be not just the most expensive game ever made, but perhaps the most expensive entertainment product of all time, with a budget closer to that of the Space Programme than a piece of software, exceeding anything thats ever happened in cinema
What is the cost of AAAA gaming? It's right here.
"This is a blatant, unapologetic act of vicious union busting" - Hundreds of Rockstar employees sign letter to management, demanding fired colleagues get reinstated
Over 200 employees from Rockstar North have signed a letter to management, in which they have condemned the firing of fellow staff members.

computers and consoles are not the thing I need from Valve
I need their polished games to make a return. I need more lessons from a Portal, L4D, Half-Life, or new franchise that isn't some DOTA TCG thing
I miss that 2000s Valve that felt unstoppable

after having been burnt so many times with VR in the past 10-13 years, I realize announcements like this mean nothing to me until I am seeing specs
I want 4k per eye, I want crazy good latency, I want sensorless tracking. I want a lot of unreasonable, expensive things before I can take VR seriously

I haven't felt excited or impressed by a Flatscreen technology for about 15~ years, maybe since the first time I saw OLED tech
but I recently acquired a LaserDisc player and man, seeing that thing hooked up to a Widescreen CRT is just a thing of beauty, I feel like the King of 1995

The Mamdani sign generator is an op to make us hate the iconography of a socialist win as quickly as possible by flooding the zone with absolutely unfunny nothing.
It is the weapon of our enemy and we do not need it. We will not use it.

BTAS villians are genuinely terrifying, not because of some malicious violence, but because they are broken human beings — unable to cope with an uncaring, oft corrupt society.
Batman often ends up performing de-escalation, rather than punitive violence. a fascinating portrayal
