my sketch of what the confession scene would look like in pentiment. it's extremely rough, like kid's drawing rough. Finished scene for Pentiment's confession section. Looks amazing, great work by Hannah, Soojin, et al.

Somehow ended up writing a bunch of words on Rambo, the 2008 arcade Sega game. Also some other things: pathological male rage, self-image and mass shooters.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.
Luca Ronconi's production of Niccolò Jommelli's opera "Fetonte" Set design by Mauro Pagano (1951-1988) Tennessee Williams’s Suddenly Last Summer in 1998. Set design by Ralph Koltai (1924-2018) Jean-Christophe Maillot's production of Faust. Set design by Rolf Sachs (b. 1955) Simon Armitage's production of the Odyssey. Set design by Robert Wilson (1941-2025)

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)

The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy

Yes, games really WERE cooler years ago

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

I really loved Ninja Gaiden (2004), especially in Black and Sigma iterations. I thought the Wooden Sword/Unlabored Flawlessness progression was so cool that I copied it (sorta) in The White March.

Back in 2018 I wrote an article about "political references added to video game translations"

Then I did it again, a few weeks ago in 2025, so here is PART 2!

I always think of that concept / art from @cinemaminddavid.bsky.social that updated the Fatal Frame series to be heavily inspired by Shiraishi and 90's Hideo Nakata J-horror stuff. A camcorder instead of a cursed camera. It looked amazing.

Published a video essay “What Cities Say in Anime”, a project I've been working on since August. Tons of sources, meticulous editing, calm narration. It's in Russian, but you can turn on automatic translation.

An RPG where a paladin concept is understood by virtually everyone in-game and despised universally.

The catch is that the most limitations on the power curve are imposed by paladins' allegiance to the church due to hierarchy and bureaucracy, intentionally so. You're not meant to produce miracles.

You're so close
r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

Fascinating to see the popularity of astrology apps in India and how they keep users hooked:

"A typical tactic is to offer a few free minutes, then drop a vague but dramatic twist right before time runs out — urging users to pay to hear the rest." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
At weekends, full moons and late in the evening, the app sends WhatsApp or SMS text messages encouraging users to log in. As free minutes expire, a message pops up: “Recharge once to get the answers you’re looking for.” Rates go as high as 250 rupees a minute, turning a 10-minute chat into the price of a fancy dinner. There’s a disclaimer in the small print, however: Services on the website are “for entertainment purposes only.” Premraj, a tech-savvy user in his 20s who’s tried more than 10 astrology apps, says they follow a script. “Most of them tell you exactly what you want to hear,” he said, asking to be identified by only his first name out of privacy concerns. A typical tactic is to offer a few free minutes, then drop a vague but dramatic twist right before time runs out — urging users to pay to hear the rest, he said.
