It’s so annoying how people in power only reach across aisles if there’s power on the other side. Ask them to reach out to poor people, brown people, queer people, or disabled people, and it’s crickets.

this is legitimately one of my fav episodes out of our entire near-200 episode backlog. some of our best analysis and perhaps more importantly, our best bullying.
On this week's episode of Mortified, me and @leylses.bsky.social revisit one of our favorite episodes- our coverage of the 2022 horror game "Iron Lung!" Remember when I got so sweaty I had to change my pants?

i'm about halfway through this new defunctland video and i'm about to start recommending it to every narrative designer i work, as so far i feel like i've watched an incredibly in-depth case study on narrative design techniques and principles, as well as the constaints of working within corporate IP
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
