I found a box of Xen portal grenades in an Aperture Science facility. One time when I used one it spawned one of Black Mesa’s HEV Suit zombies!

In a half life kinda mood, so I picked back up my Entropy Zero 2 playthrough that I left off a couple years ago.

Love the integration of Half-Life, HL2, HL2 Beta, and Portal elements.
Entropy: Zero 2 Second in a series of Half-Life 2 mods where you play as a Combine Metrocop, who then gets promoted to an Overwatch soldier.

I played a bit of House Of Necrosis, the resident evil chocobo's mystery dungeon game, and I've got some thoughts about what the demaking process means for design.

Saw a conversation on Tumblr to the effect of “Joss Whedon is the modern Shakespeare—not in terms of quality, but in terms of changing the way we talk about writing. Like, a decade before ‘Marvel Writing’ discourse, TV Tropes started out as a Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan site.”

my other big American literary teaching complaint is that even the good teaching focuses far too much on symbolism and character and not nearly enough on tone, style, figures of speech and the suchlike. It's often a bird's eye view of the text rather than a tight-up read of paragraphs or sentences.

image from the movie jaws showing a sweaty chief brody in the cockpit of a boat with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. text should say "we're gonna need a bigger boat" but the last part has a box over it so it says "we're gonna need a bigger nursing home"

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

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.

Maybe I should try his fantasy stuff like The Halloween Tree or Something Wicked This Way Comes, maybe there it wouldn’t feel as off.

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.

The latest from S. Baum.

I’ve never really been able to get into Ray Bradbury.

IDK, I don’t vibe with his writing style. It feels very childish and fairy tale-ish, which is very uncomfortably dissonant to me in his sci-fi stories.

I could kinda see the Halloween/Scream/Hellraiser crossover working, weirdly enough.

Like, a Ghostface screws around with the Lament Configuration, and while fleeing from the Cenobites runs into Michael Meyers, whose pure evil soul both captivates and frightens them.

I would have assumed it was a reference to the three-legged crow symbol from Japanese traditional iconography.

Something we need to realize and come to terms with is that we all have the potential to become a Hitler under the right conditions. Pretending there is some biological difference between us and them is conceding their case that humans are not created equal.

From a Watsonian perspective, what do you think the blinky lights under the big screen in Star Trek are for?
a group of people standing around a table with the words we like to be smart
Alt: Only gif I could find where they were visible. Pakleds from the ST: TNG episode “Samaritan Snare” calling the Enterprise, saying “We like to be smart.”

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.
