everything about the silicon valley ai revolution is bad, including the way it’s flattened so many different tools under one label that almost nobody can agree on which programmes are useful and which are garbage anymore

Honestly, The Odyssey makes perfect sense for Nolan to adapt, after all he’s the ultimate wife guy

Really, really enjoyed Black Doves — whilst it shares some issues I’ve had with shows of its ilk (such as Gangs of London), most notably in the frustratingly thin sketching of a cabal at the story’s centre, its blend of spyjinks and domestic drama is a winning, emotionally satisfying combination

An underrated thing Stranger Things often does well is its night photography — it’s artful, it’s legible, it’s reminiscent of how we used to cheat night lighting by making everything look blue — I dig it a lot!

One fascinating thing about Horizon Zero Dawn, is that its expositional technique of revealing information and backstory through in-world audio logs and messages is genuinely immersive from a storytelling perspective, yet it’s also completely empty from a gameplay one
