So The Game Awards was fun but the best part is behind all the glitz it's just a bunch of passionate nerds who are all fans of each other and the work we all do.
Anyway here's @goberthicks.bsky.social with the Clair Obscur team she was nervous to talk to, and it turned out they were fans of hers.

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

it's how we end up talking about Sinners and Nope like they're naturally aligned, instead of talking about how Nope, Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Sinners together mark the dawn of a new age of existentialist blockbusters
black creators of various stripes are often forced into categories so as to make them legible and (i’d say) shrink the ambitions of their work.

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.
