I still don't fully understand the criticism about watching movies on phones. Not how i watch film, but i don't really see how it is meaningfully different than any other home screen.

Extremely pleased to share my big interview wirh Suda51 (another Inverse hold over). A lot to unpack here, including how he considered calling Romeo Is a Dead Man “Kill the Past,” and how he feels about people now having expectations of what “Suda game” is www.cgmagonline.com/interviews/s...
Suda51 Wants to Continue to "Surprise" Players, Even If They Know His Distinct Style
Romeo Is a Dead Man pushes Suda51's distinct style into a new universe, but the creator is already thinking about his future games.

This feels very similar to the post from yesterday saying how ICE's conscription of local and marginalized populations is a new thing in warfare.
Not new! You just didn't know about it!

Cropped because this is not meant to be a dunk, but in Aronofsky's case, these criticisms are not newly invented ex post facto. They've always been around by people "in the know". Most just choose to ignore it until now!

*Microsoft is a priority target of the BDS boycott, so I didn't play Grounded 2 or OW2
HOWEVER, Obsidian remains a top tier developer and Avowed was one of last year's very best. Wish they weren't MS.
HOWEVER, Obsidian remains a top tier developer and Avowed was one of last year's very best. Wish they weren't MS.
Obsidian shipped three games last year: Avowed, Grounded 2, and Outer Worlds 2. Grounded 2 was a hit, but the two RPGs were not, leading to some self-reflection. How to make games in 3-4 years rather than 6-7? This story may be a case study for the entire industry www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Microsoft’s Obsidian Entertainment is searching for ways to make games more quickly and on smaller budgets.

Was about to crash out on someone for being annoying/wrong, but looked the thing up a bit and it turns out they were right.
Pack it up. I'm going back in the box.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Feel like my writing really suffers when I haven't had a good amount of time to rest, read, or do other things outside of gaming and writing about games.
