I’ve used Tetris Effect to settle my mind/emotions after rough EDMR therapy sessions and I can attest that Tetsuya Mizuguchi games are next level great for emotional regulation.
tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

You should watch Pluribus. (Vince Gilligan does not miss.)
One of the best shows in forever—achingly sad, hugely entertaining, and really REALLY thoughtful about important things like … the value of humanity. Really! And I gave away as little as I possibly could—almost nothing that’s not in the very opaque trailer.
In 'Pluribus,' isolation is the price of a frictionless life
The haunting new show from Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is set in Gilligan's now-signature location, Albuquerque.

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.

News organizations are starting to call the New Jersey governor's race for Mikie Sherrill, and she recently called out one of my books as a recommendation, I'm not saying that recommending my books will nab you a governorship, but I am saying that the batting record so far is 1.000

Absolutely here for this. Team Radio Silence is a perfect fit for the tone of these movies. (And I am just pro Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser in general.) www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

As an engineer, I get it - once you get the basic features down and a product functioning you want to keep building *new* *stuff*. The thing is, your product most likely doesn’t need new stuff. But keeping something running smoothly and running well is not glamorous or cool.

Look, I was a regular lurker in the Destiny 2 subreddit. There is nothing these children can say that will hurt me.
THE BEST THING HAPPENED. One teen saw my Witch Queen poster and said “Oh cool, I played Destiny but stopped after Witch Queen because the devs ruined in” (they Do Not Know)

Cargill is 100% correct here.
Scenes from a marriage:
Me: Oh you think this is funny?
Jess: My 50yr old husband is yelling about a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game he couldn’t beat in the 80s. Yeah, it’s pretty fucking funny.
Me: I’m not yelling. But the bomb level is no laughing matter & it’s time we as a culture admit it!
