It’s so good.
What if we set a murder mystery in the middle of “America’s fight for the soul of the church”?

I’m learning that I enjoyed Glass Onion a lot more than other folks.

Look, when we open our opera hauntings department you’ll be the first to know

What the

Still?? He’s like seaweed always washing back ashore.

Thanks!!

Hell yeah

Others have mentioned my MTGxFF deep dive, and I do love it 😄

BUT *Friday Nights* released this year and it’s easily some of the best work we’ve ever done, I’m so proud of it.

From another channel, @rhysticstudies.bsky.social own exploration of Final Fantasy was a delight: youtu.be/II7MQKqrcj8

So it’s not necessarily a budget pick but the DJI Mics are amazing. They have a little charging case, like AirPods, and they record into a phone or even on-board.
I think they typically come in a pair but a single might be possible.

Thank you Thoralf!

I think it’s very telling that he basically said, “the artists don’t all like it, but we’re making them do it.”

And I don’t care for the “no AI in the final game” argument. Concepting is the most creative, most fun and rewarding part. Handing that off to the theft machine is appalling.

Oh wow, Triple Play.
They were actually the original inspiration for the “trading card store that doesn’t care about Magic, but sells it” in Friday Nights, and I’d hoped to film there. But they closed.

People are this mad about it because that was a blow to a sensitive wound we’re all feeling - where the art we’re seeing can’t be trusted, where the voices we hear might not be human, where the stories we experience might come from somewhere entirely hollow.

It was a tipping point for a lot of us.

I’m prepared to have been misinformed.

But also, I’ve never seen more inter-group disagreement on “commonly accepted” slang than I did in Australia.

Houseabouts!
An antipodean term for the clothes you wear about the house, but wouldn’t wear out.

I change into those.
