If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

Just in time for Xmas, the Final Fantasy X Retrospective is here! Learn about the creative decisions behind the game, the state of Square as a company after the failure of The Spirits Within, and the grander themes which may have eluded western players.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

These last few months I've made a real effort to stop using music streaming platforms, both as an act to stop supporting large tech companies and also to fully own my media again. Investing in an RAID 1 NAS has been the easiest way for me to jump ship.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

my take on fonts is that using either Times New Roman or Calibri as the official font for government documents is insane. you should have a government font that the government commissions and thus places in the public domain. it's like if every government memo was stamped with a Microsoft watermark.

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment.

I thought this was going to be a review of my time with Santa Ragione's Horses, the controversial art game recently banned from Steam and the Epic Store. To some extent, this will be that but after...

Poster design from a few years back. I really had fun turning a spur-of-the-moment idea into a realized poster design, but the thought of designing in my free time feels like pulling teeth. Who has the time or energy? 🤐

Angel's Egg is a hard watch. We saw it last night and didn't leave happy nor satisfied. There's no plot, the only two characters you see barely speak to each other, and the film ends abruptly.

But... I wouldn't say I didn't like it. I need to wrap my head around it and I guess that will take time.
