Fun fact: For the movie Alien, they actually used a man in a practical suit because the studio was unable to afford a real Xenomorph.

epic CEO: ai disclosure is pointless because everyone will have it in their games
nexon CEO: gen z loves aislop, everyone uses genAI in games
jorjani (arrowhead CEO): i think games could really evolve with genAI

there's a running theme that it's CEOs that say this stuff and rarely the creators

Working more on the actual plot of my piece now and I need to ask a question:

If Birmingham were mysteriously erased one day, leaving only a crater behind, what would you call the day honouring the anniversary of it?

Currently I'm thinking "Brummie day" but idk if that's too informal.

Any ideas?

My #script was workshopped today, and honestly it went really well and I didn't get much negative feedback. However, I find the lack of negative feedback concerning cos I always want to improve on my weaknesses, and I know that there's no way this script is *that* good.

Anyone else think like this?

Update on the #AO3 saga: applied for an account, and apparently everyone had the same idea cos now I've got to wait like 10 days to get my invite. No hate on AO3 though, it's a good system.

For anyone interested, this is the #script that I've been working on for a workshop (which is why it's only four pages). I'm planning a kind of horror-comedy that focuses on cosmic/eldritch horror, centring on two detectives on a murder case.

Got told today that one of my characters (a detective who hooked up with an elder god and now has it inside him) would do numbers on AO3, and honestly I have never felt more honoured.

Ah yes, "it was a Roman salute."

The salute that Mussolini claimed
Then Hitler claimed
And now Elon Musk is trying to claim

Pattern seeking brain be damned but I'm sensing a trend here.

Echoes of Wisdom is really fun and creative but it would be nice if Zelda could actually use the sword on her own instead of having to turn into Link just to hold it.

The only similar thing she can do is the spin which just has the same function as a sword minus the damage, missed opportunity IMO.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

That one time when the entirety of Sleep Token got doxxed just proves that all it takes is one idiot that hates fun to completely ruin it for everyone else.

I like to ask my friends this question, so I figured I'd post it here:

Name a film or tv series that came out during/after 2020 that is:

- An original concept
- Not based on any existing material or IP
- Not a sequel, prequel, etc.

So far I've got EEAAO and Poor Things, would like to hear more.
