I’ve not touched Hades II but I can see where the author is coming from: there’s a current YA-iffication of writing in contemporary fantasy media that is very, Very hard to get away from.

Hades II demeans the mystery and grandeur of myth through its shallow writing and unserious tone, writes @gracemachine.bsky.social. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Hades II's Ill-Defined, Unserious World Undermines the Depth and Power of Mythology

With its cardboard cutout characters, Hades II flattens the fearful, uneasy mystery of its mythic inspirations.

basically this. your favorite small art house studio uses AI and it helped make expedition 33, which everyone seems to be willing to give a pass. clearly its not a hard line for some people especially if it wins game of the year awards

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

jana h-s Post from mastodon, reading:

essentially the only thing that I like about this web site is that it is named after a creature that we hunted to extinction back at a time when hunting things to extinction was presumably a pretty hard thing to do. it lends a mournful and apologetic air to the whole undertaking. like, sorry we killed you and everyone you ever knew. it was all in the name of elevating a species that can't even decide whether our own lives are worth living. anyway, here's posts

you are a cumulative being, you are not separate from anyone or anything. be kind to everything.

life ends in misfortune and death no matter what you do. therefore, take the risks that interest you.

this existence is just a particle of something larger. you are here to feel good while you live.

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

It cannot be stressed enough that the majority of right wingers that engage in culture war nonsense are people who have PsyOp'd themselves into seeing "pattern recognition" everywhere in the same way that biblical numerologists have a heart attack every time they see the number 666 somewhere.
