Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

A kind and thoughtful video essay about MOON from Ken. Sharing it for those who might be interested, and because it occurred to me that more people have watched this wonderful essay than probably got to see the film when it was at the cinema! 😅

Okay genuinely well done from Kimmel's team, this is what pulling out the real knives looks like.

Sanho Tree @sanho.bsky.social · 1d

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

If you are looking for an unusual, tense, and oddly beautiful horror movie this Halloween, I highly recommend A Dark Song, should it have escaped your notice before.

It's an extremely good idea to follow NoClip2. It sends a strong message that there is value and an audience for weird little indie games to media and publishers alike.

We've added 14k YouTube subs to noclip_2 in the past month, pretty much exclusively covering underground and indie games like this. Please come be part of what we're building over there.

House of Necrosis by @warkus.bsky.social wears it's influences on it's sleeve. But it's roguelite loop and mystery dungeon gameplay presents a whole new challenge.
