so, uh, I guess the studio responded to this by replacing their website art!

(not gonna lie, I'm torn between "lol, lmao" and "hm, that's a bit of an immature response from a professional game studio")
A screenshot of the Sackbird website that shows their social media icons replaced with intentionally bad MS Paint-style art A screenshot of the Sackbird website which used to have an AI-generated skyline of Baltimore, and now has an intentionally shitty bunch of brown boxes labelled as "Fort McHenry" and "Sackbird Studios" in Comic Sans. It has clearly been drawn in MS Paint in about 5 minutes

- I said "this is just Ice Station Zebra" a lot during the middle of FINAL RECKONING and felt very smug about it

two lingering thoughts from this movie:

- the Craig bond movies have a really similarly shaped arc where the best movie, SKYFALL, is squarely in the middle of the run, but it addresses the question of spies getting old in a way that mission impossible fully just refuses to acknowledge

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THE FINAL RECKONING (2025, McQuarrie) is the series given over to its worst tendencies. the Uncharted of mission impossible films. too much hero worship, not enough spy stuff. is the Entity or Esai Morales the worst thing to happen to the series? it doesn't matter. 2/5 stars.

My latest essay is on @olddog.games's "Deathmatch Island!" I talk about how the game designs its climax around the Prisoner's Dilemma, and how, despite the fact that the game wants you to break that cycle, that initial tension is the best part of the text.
