"what if a space station was hell" is maybe the most important type of game there is.

Big ol' Warhammer (fanart!) poster I did for the Apothecarion charity event. This was a massive undertaking for mw, it's the most complex thing I've ever done and the first piece of (semi) personal art I've completed in about 10 years.

Finished ROUTINE! I absolutely loved the game. You know what you're getting into more than not, but it's the WAY that those things are executed that's so masterful and fine-tuned here. It's as much what the game does as what it doesn't. There's some genuinely scary late-game stuff, too. GREAT game.

We report: standing a ways away from the trees, we hear the birds and their hubbub of a conversation - sparrows we think. Our expert knows not enough about birds to have an opinion on the matter. No rain, but we see clouds floating low under the beams of the streetlights.

We value human artistry at our company, but AI has found its place in the office. It is somewhere in the walls, scratching its thorns against the vents. They echo on every floor. We have sent a squad of three to pursuit AI. We haven't heard back in nearly a month.
Why does everyone who talks about how AI can be a useful tool for game development always sound like they have no idea how AI will actually be a useful tool for game development?
I'm very curious about hyper-specific game dev applications where an LLM might help but no one seems to know!

Took me a minute but I realize now what this reminds me of: The Safeguard Exterminator androids in Tsutomu Nihei's BLAME! that hunt and kill anyone living inside the Megastructure who doesn't possess the Net Terminal Gene.
That is to say, most if not all of humanity.

Currently writing about Sinners and One Battle After Another for my end of year list. With the Netflix news today, it's hard not to feel like 2025 has been a farewell party to a WB that should have kept going.

It's a dark, devastating day for the theatrical movie experience and the art form of cinema. See the full press release, in which "theatrical" is mentioned merely once:
