@jacobgeller.com I've been reading through How a Game Lives and tonight got to The Golem essay. This made for an especially interesting read, since I saw the new Superman movie this afternoon.

@jacobgeller.com when I saw THIS, reading your excellent book How a Game Lives, my heart jumped into my throat. In your "Art for No One" video you talk about the Plexus book having intentionally uncut pages. I thought you had pulled something similar for a moment! But, I'd merely played myself. 😅

Disney is about to learn the lesson it should have learned from "Mufasa": People will watch a shitty remake of a good movie, or a shitty sequel for a good movie, but they won't watch a shitty sequel of a shitty remake of a good movie
A live-action Lilo and Stitch 2 is in the works following the success of the first remake, Disney said in an announcement that included the blue alien mascot driving around Walt Disney Studios. bit.ly/44ItbOH

In MGMT's song "Kids," one of the lines is
"You pick the insects off plants, no time to think of consequences." Now, the rhyme scheme should rhyme "plants" with "consequences." This is why this whole afternoon I just keep singing "no time to think of conseQUANTSes"

For years, I hoped NPR, NYTimes, or the ghost of Gimlet would make a video game podcast. A weekly, hour-long audio magazine with essays, interviews, tight editing, and a cheeky sense of humor.
Nobody made the show I wanted to hear.
So, I made it myself.
Here's the first episode of Post Games.

Do I wanna be warm? Of course. Do I want my house to be warm? Absolutely not. I want my house to be just cold enough that I can smother myself in blankets *thereby becoming* warm. Please respect my process.
