Really enjoyed the first two episodes of 'Dispatch'. The writing, the acting, the animation, the music, it's all on-point. Such a great evoltion of the Telltale formula; slick as hell and great fun. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes to drop. I'm all the way in on this game.

Our little game that Chief Rebel has been plugging away at for nearly six years has finally reached ready for Early Access. It feels weird to think so much blood, sweat, and tears have led to this day. So proud of the team for how solid the game feels. Can't wait to press the button tonight.

Great show seeing Lady Gaga tonight. Played all the hits and incredible production for the sets, costumes, choreography, and AV. Like theatre, wonderful.

The final scene of Blair Witch fucked me up!
Going in knowing they had the actors film everything while the filmmakers kinda just fucked with them. My teenage, terrified mind clung onto the film-maker knowledge that they were actors, that it was all just noises and secretly moving props. Then...

I've not heard anyone talking about this but I just saw the Steam Review scores now differentiate by language. Got me wondering if there are Chinese/Russian bots review bombing a game, or something this is resolving?

I like that the cover-art to this edition of TRON makes it look like Gone With the Wind.

Tech artists and Programmers might lose their shit about Unreal Engine's new features, but for me, I've stood up and swore out-loud at discovering you can now convert your booleans into branches from 5.6.

Thinking about pitching some Tabletop Miniatures games but all the good IP are snapped up? Try pivoting and looking at building on established brands that might have cheaper barriers of entry.

Loved the new Superman, what a blast. Gunn nailed the tone perfectly; hopeful, playful, tense, and action-packed. I hope it does well, as I'm so hyped to see more from this era of DC movies.

And yet.. I've sunk 145 hours into it at this point; I'm halfway through my third base build, and am loving mining for spice.
It's got 'just enough' of everything to give me more of an enjoyment than friction. It's just on the tipping point, the success story of good being the enemy of great.

I guess the Pro AI guy just stripped the context. That it's Gunn's way of writing him, rather than say "ha, villains think like this"

Fun day yesterday! My first major piece of ink (I have a small one on the back of my bicep).
The hardest part was deciding on a design. I get analysis paralysis on what I want as permanent changes to my body for so long, just initiating the process triggers incredible anxiety in me.
