So it WAS an alien spaceship after all...

Happy Birthday Luke! I have always loved and looked forward to your game design thoughts, insights and hot takes. And not a week goes past without my thinking about these tweets again.

It's not even the only instance of that design in the movie! They really ran with it.

Item descriptions mention that the giant boar isn't just a mount, but a mobility aid he considers "his other half". His model doesn't have him gripping the boar, horse rider-style, but rather he seems fastened onto it. Greaves made as a "cruel joke" that "he could not wear" are found seperately.

True. Say what you will about Halo: Combat Evolved, the alien weapons are great visual design. But with each subsequent entry, they adopted more generic rifle silhouettes that wouldn't look especially out of place in the Call of Duty franchise.

François Truffaut in 1973: "I don't think I've really seen an antiwar film."

Joyce Messier in Disco Elysium: "Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would *critique* capital end up *reinforcing* it instead..."

Meanwhile, in Ironic Hell:

An excerpt from The Cult of Information by Theodore Roszak. It was published way back in 1986, but hot damn if it doesn't prefigure some of the issues with generative AI.

Many spaces once full of artists are being hollowed out by hawkers of generative slop sold for just ever so slightly less.

Relevant tumblr post. It seems the second poster is right about the universality of the experience.

RIP also to this delightfully menacing loon, and to the one that was just a photograph of someone's dog in portrait orientation

Goodnight Sweet Prince F277

This seems to be their logo? The favicon is this without the squiggles.
