A Drop In The Ocean
Planescape was before my time, but it's shadow looms large over a swath of games and things I enjoy deeply.
Shout out to Doc for taking the time to get his hands dirty and shake it around to see what kind of warped chimes this old bell rings out in current year

New article time!
This one's about Planescape: Torment. I was commissioned to cover it, so I have. I was... disappointed to find I didn't really like the game. I tried not to be too mean, but I really, really disliked this game's treatment off women.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

It's wild to me that plenty of mainstream entertainment outlets have been doing some kind of anime coverage for close to a decade now, and they still largely suck at it.
Wow, I forgot Shinzo aired on Cartoon Network. Oh wait no I didn’t. It never did. It aired on Jetix. Tiger & Bunny didn’t either despite it being in the header image and also not on the list.

As someone that has worked on this, I’m pretty disappointed. This was MADE to be experienced in theaters. Also, my country doesn’t have Paramount+ so people here are just gonna end up pirating it instead of paying to see it in theaters like make it make sense 😭
The upcoming feature The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will bypass a theatrical debut in theaters in October 2026 and premiere on Paramount+ as the streamer becomes the exclusive home of all animated content from Avatar Studios.

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

The idea machine only operated for three years, from 2015 to 2018. It always gave off more toxic smoke than ideas, and it started demanding more exorbitant sums per idea until eventually it asked $500 for "What if a man skipped lunch"
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
