“Marissa Marcel was a film star. She made three movies. But none of the movies were ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared.”

Finally got some of the extra goodies framed from @lostincult.co.uk’s Immortality Design Works. An extremely special game and an experience playing I’ll never forget.

As someone who works for a company that produces video game books, this whole situation is giving me The Fear

Oh sorry, I'm tired and somehow thought you were commenting on the first statement

Chris Schilling @schillingc.bsky.social · 19h

I recommend you read the follow-up statement

Chris Schilling @schillingc.bsky.social · 19h

As an eternal optimist, I'm hoping that Zelda Williams' (rightly) excoriating takedown of AI registers more widely. Likening it to The Human Centipede is a really effective way to evoke disgust

Yeah, same. Just imagine the kind of person who could possibly think that was a good idea

Chris Schilling @schillingc.bsky.social · 19h

Reform UK’s Councillor Dave Poole has put out this bizarre graphic littered with spelling errors.

Our favourite part is where it says Reform UK keeps being called the ‘fat right’.

"No one will believe I went"? The release of her new album is dominating news cycles like the death of a royal; if she went into space we'd never hear the end of it

Pop Crave @popcrave.com · 1d

Taylor Swift when asked on BBC Radio 2 if she’d ever go to space:

“Never, why would I do that? There’s no reason to do that. I don’t want to do that ever... Omg no. No. It’s cold, it’s scary. I don’t know if I can come back down. If I go, no one will believe I went.”

Got about half an hour's sleep last night, just long enough to dream there was a new Elite Beat Agents and the sad one was set to Whitney's Didn't We Almost Have It All. I can even recall a fair chunk of the beat map. Weird.
