Today, The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism, is published in the UK in paperback. The timing, as the government disastrously follows the neoliberal script to the letter, could scarcely be more appropriate. www.penguin.co.uk/books/455534...

Left: One of posters for the OG Silent Hill 2 by using the in-game models rendered in a 3DCG app "Softimage 3D" that we used for the development. Of course I retouched it in Photoshop

Right: A screenshot from the real time rendering scene in the 3DCG app. Also for the 1st OG SH2 trailer at TGS 2000

I do think it’s super important right now and in the foreseeable future to really value moments of joy and to be intentional about making as many of them as you can

As a fan of literature there’s no worse feeling than finding out a novel has an unreliable narrator and realising you wasted your money

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Reading the article is much worse than the headline implies. It's just a checklist of pandering: 'we've moved our content moderation teams from California to Texas so we aren't seen as politically biased' and 'Europe is stifling innovation and is pushing for censorship.'

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities:

Remember when parts of Europe finally cracked down on loot boxes in games, but like, years after publishers phased them out and developed other (worse) means to rinse us for money?

I've fully given up on there being any political urgency when it comes to regulating A.I.

For example; how many people know what a Dutch angle is and why it's used? What is the equivalent knowledge for games and why is it not as well know?

If we want players to intelligently engage with games, we do need to help them learn about the craft.

Powerful men can outmaneuver accusations with strategic retaliation — while women risk everything by speaking out. Men can lean into being perceived as "controversial," "difficult," "annoying," or "unstable," while the same labels are career-ending for women.

Why won’t the media use the word misogyny?
Misogyny is at the core of these smear campaigns targeting women, yet news coverage consistently avoids naming it.

I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.

This was published while I was at the National Assembly so I never really got a chance to promote it, which is kind of insane? It's one of the best features that The Verge has ever published. When I first read the draft I went "what the fuck did I just read??????" www.theverge.com/c/24300623/a...
