80 years ago this morning—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

Found a little FPS game called HOLE and bought it based entirely off of a five minute YouTube video I watched. Absolutely loving it. Mechanics are solid and art style is the best kind of low-poly creepy

The 24 Hours of Lemons is an endurance race with a twist: The cars cost less than $500, and costumes are unlimited. A recent race saw a Toyota Yaris painted like a snail, and a team dressed as bees.

Something to note (besides the fact that this is incredibly stupid) is that so many other countries have either large tax breaks or national film boards to promote the creation of local filmmakers and films

Hole is fascinating - a relatively rare Japanese indie FPS title, it's a single player extraction shooter that draws influences from all sorts of interesting places from John Wick to Fortnite to a *smidge* of Receiver with jams & needing to chamber a round.
