Catch my current hyperfixation here!
Please be the push for the AAA game industry to start valuing the art of game making again 😩. You can make even more money with great games.

It probably won't have the same effects as Spiderverse did on the animation industry, but a fish can hope.

I can't believe most of the good and interesting stuff was at the front of the game awards. The second half was more bloat for already very oversaturated markets.
And that closing game trailer TwT. It looked like hero-shooter-Battlefield. Not something 'innovative'.

every single time a member of the e33 team comes onstage, remember that geoff only gave them two tickets and the team had to pay out of pocket from a public-facing ticket portal for everybody else lmfao

It's always trippy listing to a musical track in full after spending hours cutting it up.

Like, what do you mean there's actual theme development and variations of the motif? You're telling me that this one section repeats five times? lol

Companies want you to use their shitty app because privacy protections outside a web browser are far more lax.

The Etsy website will force the app on you when you press the tracking button. Select "desktop site" in the browser settings and voilà, it works perfectly ON THE SAME SITE.

I've realized that as a really big Bluey fan, I have no clue where most of the Long Dogs are.

I can recite lines, music, lore, and fan theories from memory. But I never thought to find all the longdogs lol.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.
