I've remembered this quote basically verbatim for at least twenty years:
If I'd wanted all that computer game bullshit, I'd have stuck my dick in a Nintendo - Quentin Tarantino

A narrative sequel to Kill Bill is premiering in Fortnite later this week, over 20 years after the original film

Found out about the forthcoming adaptation of THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW today and can't stop thinking about it. If they get it right I will absolutely adore it. But to me it's a story that touches on almost Lovecraftian elements, merely hints at them, and maybe that's not how others see it at all

Apparently the French commentator Yoann Riou has been getting stick there for his overexcited commentary on the Scotland game. In which case, tough shit to the miserable sods, because this is utterly beautiful.

So that's why Kyrandia 2: Hand of Fate had such a weird box design! I wonder how late into release they changed it, and how many made it into production? You almost never see this box on ebay genesistemple.com/interview-wi...

It's also the sort of implication that writing is a boring rote task that we wish we didn't have to spend time on. Writing is the joy! It's the fucking expression! Aaaaargh
Went to the dentist, and explained that I'm writing some dialogue for a game.
"Just get ChatGPT to do it!" she said, cheerily.
I replied "And how would you feel if I brushed my teeth according to ChatGPT's instructions?"
"Um, it would probably be fine? Don't use it for facts"
Christ we're fucked.

I was sort of quietly staggered by GK3. I'm a 90s adventure nerd and knew the famous Old Man Murray takedown of GK3 and expected it to be a total pile of crap. Instead it's kind of an insane masterpiece that deserves to be recognised for what it tried to do rather than what it got wrong
For adventure gamers who remember The Old Ways: this is a nice critique of early 2000s gamer snark. Gabriel Knight 3 had some really good bits, and adventure games didn't die - big American publishers just stopped selling them. (The cat moustache puzzle was genuinely bad, though.)
It wasn't Gabriel Knight 3's cat mustache puzzle that killed "adventure games." They never died, even if the industry killed off Sierra On-line. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:
“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
