All hail Indika
my experience thus far with Indika is that I painstakingly gathered five buckets of water, a nun dumped all my water on the floor, and the game crashed without saving. 10/10 for ludonarrative

The EU is almost single-handedly responsible for every positive feature reversal in technology of the last half decade
the EU has mandated removable batteries by 2027, expect phones next year to have this :)

HOLY SHIT IT IS HAPPENING WE GOT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm still shutting up about this until it actually happens, just in case. It will be one of the more cool but also very random things I'll probably ever do. I'll share more once it happens next year...
I MADE IT IN TIME!!!!!!

I feel really good about the audition/interview, but I won't know for sure if anything will come of it until a few weeks from now. But I'm optimistic!
Good news: I have an interview scheduled today for something really neat if it goes well

Bad News: having the kind of day at work that may keep me here wayyy past my normal leave time, which would make me miss the interview. I'm begging them to pass the work to the next shift so I can leave on time

Me in 4th grade when I got Bow Wow braids to impress a girl at my church before later finding out she was in high school.

this is one of the easiest adaptation announcements to be snarky and jokey about, but I also had no faith the Fallout show would be good either. Them treating it like an Anthology like Fargo is inspired too, so I'm slightly optimistic, even if no one plays Far Cry for the story
Far Cry TV series ordered by FX from Noah Hawley and Rob Mac

"the series will follow an anthology format like the games and feature a different cast and setting each season"

oh so Rockstar management didn't know until a lower level worker snitched?

if you spend your entire life dedicated to work and never pour any passion into your soul, you will be cursed with the perpetual personality of a coworker
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng
