Aside from Deus Ex, Alpha Protocol had its shortcomings, but it's "your choices matter" was one of the strongest. Narrative choices affected gameplay, gameplay affected narrative choices, each major character could have a different impression of you, etc. Desperately needs rerelease

I'm a little sad because I got very little art with this design, other than @sofox.bsky.social surprising me with a very kind 3D model which I appreciate greatly but haven't done anything with, and a single commission. It's A Lot as a design, and lockdown + low funds kept me from commissioning more.

So a friend of mine setsunew recently posted a ref for their new fursona(url) (by F.Mr.Y). I really liked the design, and it seemed cool ...

Somebody fundamentally misunderstands what due diligence is. You're meant to dive into it with the assumption that you're being lied to your face. Not just trust the damn person to tell you everything.

I'm glad this has exploded has hard has it did. Lot of resentment for asshole landlords.

From RTE website, screenshot of paragraph of news article:

Yesterday, Mr Martin said "very comprehensive due diligence" was done on Mr Gavin, but that an issue with a former tenant was "probably buried somewhere in the recesses of his mind".

This is just an evergreen comic.

I remember a few years ago, there was an article about a rerelease of a banned book. From the article, it didn't honestly seem to be that good of a book, but if it hadn't been banned I'm not sure a big article of it would have been made decades later.

Literally yesterday I was open mouthed at someone saying they hadn't watched the movie the whole way through.

It's such a fun movie that stands test of time on rewatch.

Pity about the real life satellite dish though (it also appears briefly in Contact (1997))

Yeah, really tragic how a film crew could die from shooting a film. Although, that one shot where the guy swims through stagnant water, I'm thinking "That cannot be safe... and I damn well know that's not 'movie magic' stagnant water, that's the real deal."

From what I understand, they shot a version that was more explicitly sci fi, but then lost all the footage. So they shot it again and this time skipped over a lot of the technical explanations and focused more on the experiences and atmosphere. Which I kinda like.
