Hardwar (1998)
An Elite-like flight sim set in craters on Titan, in a partially collapsed colony society after mining corporations pulled out and abandoned the moon. The mix of trade, bounty hunting, and piracy you'd expect but with solar-powered VTOL aircraft and aesthetics by the Wipeout artists.

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.
Today, the government admitted it had been keeping thousands of children in poverty for no reason whatsoever.
Next, tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off!

*Keeping* the whip should be a career-ending embarrassment for any Labour politician under this cruel, rightwing, authoritarian Labour government.
This Labour government should have scrapped the two-child benefit cap on day one.
Instead, it chose to keep hundreds of thousands of children in avoidable, grinding poverty for a year-and-a-half.
I’m proud to have lost the Labour whip and left the party that has overseen this performative cruelty.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

when I said "I could do it, and probably get away with it" I might have been overestimating the "get away with it" part. but clearly anyone could just do it.

My latest piece has a short section that offers a great example of how online reactionaries take off running with wildly inaccurate theories and conspiracies, no matter how small.
Not long after Ghost of Yotei was announced, the GG crowd sensed a new online obsession and began dogpiling on it.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
