Chrono Trigger is my favorite game, an RPG with a great premise, combat, music and of course characters by the late Toriyama
#ChronoConcept is a concept project for an imaginary remake of the game
So lets start with Crono! Male and Female versions!
Thoughts in the al text!

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Life has decided to deliver a prolonged kick in the balls while choking me in the not fun way.
2 friends my age died this year, cat is barely holding on and that brings us to today, flying to do an overnight stay watching over my father in the hospital (hell be discharged soon)

I was doing a bank transfer for some personal stuff and suddenly the Wii shop channel music started playing from my computer. Perfection.

Speaking solely as a consumer, Im shocked that its Microsoft that went third party. Seeing Halo on PlayStation is downright bizarre and I always assumed Microsoft would be the last one to go in that direction.

Really really really close to delivering a giant deadline for work. Its been a huge challenge and, while its fun and rewarding, leaves me with melted brain for the rest of the day.
Looking forward to actually having energy to draw something when I feel a bit rested.

Me when discovering something new in Hades II or Shinobi: 🥰
Me when discovering something new in Silksong: 😒
I think its mostly the vibes, like I get to a new location in Silksong or a new challenge and I go “ugh ok lets see” Has nothing to do with difficulty, thats fine.

I think the coolest thing Hades does (both 1 and 2) is that almost every character feels like they have their own, cool game going on parallel to yours. Like the whole venture is a collection of adventures each character is having and theyre all interacting with each other, but its hinted at, felt.

Pensando sobre el estado de gamedev en Barcelona y la verdad agradecidisimo del nivel creativo y humano. He conocido a gente de altisimo nivel y me encanta ver su progresion profesional, me llena verlo aunque sea de lejos.

I don’t do much gloom and doom but its hard to imagine why the fuck ICE needs guided missile warheads. You don’t need those to deport your abuelita even if her chancleta skills are legendary.
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Its upsetting to hear of the passing of Tomonobu Itagaki. A flawed, competitive, game making genius. A complete cult of personality that burned as bright as possible to reach his goals. Its tragic that he didn’t get his chance to close out his career the way he would have wanted. RIP

OK so this is officially out. This pic was sent to me by a bestie who got his copy. I wrote the majority of this w the help of two homies (I know what I know and Sailor Moon ain’t it, so I recruited help). I took every single screenshot in the book and it’s packed with interviews.

PS6 in two years would cement the PS5 as my least favorite Sony console
PSX: the revolution, affordable, versatile
PS2: arguably the best console ever
PS3: weird motherfucker with a redemption arc
PS4: a mix of the PSX and PS2, almost perfect
PS5: cynical, greedy, arrogant and wheres the games?
