Something that's fascinating when reading people's opinions on a movie or tv show, is when you can tell they're praising the ideas present rather than the actual execution as a story.

my man Tax, in this thread, has a big interesting writeup of the trials of an illfated project and the experience of "i thought if i got a bunch of people together who know how to do this kind of work they would do it but they talked it to death instead". relatable

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
Young man in a red tunic bearing a sword surrounded by armed glassy-eyed monsters A red robed horseman with a skull face and stag's antlers rides through the forest, the horse rearing back, a shaft of light falling onto the scene A red haired woman in a red dress and a boy in a blue doublet stand in front of a huge black cauldron. In the foreground, three cackling hags. A boy in a blue tunic with a dagger tries to get a sword away from a giant orange cat

Really want to hear his thoughts on Andor.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”
So, we asked Pritzker to weigh in on the go-to debate for every "Star Wars" nerd: Which movies are the best? Here's his ranking of the 11 major films in the series: 1. "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) 2. "Star Wars" (1977) 3. "Return of the Jedi" (1983) 4. "Rogue One" (2016) 5. "The Last Jedi" (2017) 6. "Revenge of the Sith" (2005) 7. "The Force Awakens" (2015) 8. "Solo" (2018) 9. "The Phantom Menace" (1999) 10. "Attack of the Clones" (2002) 11. "The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)

A movie that takes place where I'm from.

(But I'm not from New York, if you know you know.)

Worth it, it's far better than every cinematic Star War made since 1980

Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies
Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

I feel like most of us understand that he will change his mind literally the next time he talks to any of his horrible goblins, because he just agrees with the last person who talked to him. but still it's so funny that he fully got rolled by Mamdani leagues more than we even could have hoped

Let's not go crazy & think that just because he has nice things to say about Mamdani while Mamdani is in the room means that it's going to last past his next dose of naptime propaganda. Still some fine entertainment

Ogres have a mutualistic relationship with their big sticks – aptly named Persuaders – malevolent mimics that instigate their wielders into raiding settlements for food.. in exchange for plunder.

"A boy of your girth, still foraging for berries? Pfft! Brandish me – I shall introduce you to salami."
a CHUNKY ogre with tiny protuding horns, arms longer than legs, pitch black eyes. brandishing a strange wooden club: the club has a mouth and three paranoid eyes.

I've got 4 TTRPG ashcans I'm going to throw out into the wild soon.

Been playing around with diceless mechanics, and resurrecting my personal home game stat-less system.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

D66 Things Guards Say When You Pass A Stealth Check (Fantasy)
This is a D66 table which is too long to fit into the alt text. It's 36 different things a Guard might say when you pass a stealth check. Here's a selection, anyway: “Huh. Guess it must have been the wind.” “Blimey, the size of the size of the rats ‘round here!” “I must be tired.” “Don’t bother. This place makes all sorts of weird noises.” “You’re hearing things! You ought to lay off the whiskey.” “Guess it was nothing.” “I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.” “Go on, get out of here!” “I’m not checking it. You check it.” “Come on, who’d try to sneak in here?” “Ugh. I hate this job.” “Any more noises like that and I’ll be forced to stand up and take a look.” “I don’t feel like getting shanked in the ribs tonight. Just let it slide.” “What you mean, ‘strange noise?’ Sounds like a perfectly normal noise to me.” “My doctor said I’m not supposed to investigate mysterious sounds after 6pm.” *aimlessly whistles a sea shanty, and dreams of their true purpose: sailing the mighty ocean* “Ohhh, my aching back! I can barely stand up straight, let alone search for intruders!” “Geoffrey? Is that you? I’ve told you not to do the hiding thing any more. It’s dangerous.” “I think someone must have left a window open somewhere.” to themselves: “Don’t be scared. Shh. There’s no such thing as ghosts.” “Probably just a harmless drunk. They kip in here sometimes.” “Hey, your shift’s over! It’s my time to guard. Let me have this, Sylvia.” reading aloud, weeping: “Dear Erik. I am very sorry, but I must leave you. I’ve found a new lover. He wants to start a family. I can’t wait for your promotion any longer.” “No, no: my grandfather told me about a time he investigated a nearby disruption. I’m not going to make the same mistake.”

i am beginning to believe that, like many video game publishers, krafton is run by extremely lucky morons

kotaku.com/subnautica-2...
Subnautica 2 Publisher Allegedly Asked ChatGPT To Find A Way Out Of Paying Cofounders by Kotaku's Ethan Gach It goes on to cite snippets of internal communications at Krafton, including an apparent conversation between the publisher's CEO, Kim Chang-han, and its head of global operations, Richard Yoon... ...The exchange suggests Krafton was not only seeking to lowball the cofounders on their original bonus but the rest of the development team as well. The new filing also claims that Krafton felt it had overpaid for Unknown Worlds and wanted to avoid following through on the original contractually obligated payouts at all costs, even going so far as to ask an AI chatbot for help. "[Maria Park] told Kim that 'it seems to be highly likely that the earn-out will still be paid if the sales goal is achieved regardless of the dismissal with cause," the new filing reads. "Kim turned to artificial intelligence to help him brainstorm ways to avoid paying the earnout. ChatGPT likewise advised that it would be 'difficult to cancel the earn-out." The cofounders claim Krafton refused to "produce the ChatGPT conversations and, when pressed, confirmed that they no longer exist."
