Thread: stuff I'm passionate about/thinking about/working on. Top of mind for me is 'Infrastructures of Mystery' - how do we create societies where people can more easily commune with the depth and mystery of life - whatever that means for them? anticiplay.medium.com/infrastructu...
Infrastructures of mystery — scaffolding the wonder of existence
What if society would recognize and support the value of connecting to life’s mystery?

I feel that this show makes a lot of shows seem like they're just sleepwalking. #vampire #annerice

My gf and I decided to give it a try some time in the middle of the night on a boozy saturday before going to bed and we were suddenly widely awake. The energy, the sharpness, ooffff.

I say this as someone who grew up with Anne Rice's books as a teenager, and was wondering before the show about the great many changes they made to the characters and time period and so on. But it really, really works.

One of the biggest positive shocks I've experienced recently when it comes to shows is how damn excellent the Interview with the Vampire TV show is. It's not really available in the NL so had to do some magic, and I'd heard it was good. But holy shit it is AMAZING. Smart, wicked, funny, dark.

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?

Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

BBC censors a lecture removing author’s remarks on Trump that refer to him a the most openly corrupt American president.

Hades 2 klink als een beetje een teleurstelling, dus misschien ga ik gewoon de soundtrack luisteren dan.

Mijn favoriete werk-soundtracks zijn eigenlijk Citizen Sleeper, Hades, en deze chille Baldur's Gate 3 selectie: tidal.com/album/344371...

It's going so hard. And so does all the other music. I'm really a music-in-games kind of person and I'm so happy to be playing the game with music and audio now.

I have the file to the trailer song by @marskye.com and I'm just listening to it on repeat while working (if I'n not actually listening to his music in the game itself). I'm a big game soundtracks listener, especially for work, and I can't wait for this soundtrack to be on streaming platforms.

I’m currently in Egypt visiting my mom and I’m playing Skyrim which is still goated. The way it represents Viking and Nordic culture makes me long for an Egyptian version with the same open world where you raid mummy tombs, explore pyramid ruins, and battle Egyptian gods. The lore is so ripe.

This is one of my favorite parts of design collaboration we've ever done 😍 #fashion #design #gamedev #indiedev
allwillrise.bsky.social All Will Rise by Speculative Agency @allwillrise.bsky.social · 1d
A favorite collaboration has been with Kolkata based fashion designer LataSita, led by Meghna Nayak, who make futuristic clothing out of old sarees. Meghna N. advised us on our characters' fashion (example of her notes). Check them out: www.instagram.com/latasita #fashion #indiedev #gamedecv #design
Designs by Kolkata based fashion designer LataSita, made from old sarees, that inspired the fashion of characters in video game All Will Rise set in South India which is about taking billionaires to court for destroying the planet.

In our case, we've conducted a number of interviews and playtests with real life eco/climate lawyers and social movement organizers. We're also drawing on a lot of research on how real societal change happens - especially in terms of social and emotional dynamics.
