Really important to remember when considering adventure game history. It wasn't a case of Lucasfilm/Arts slaying an aging dragon back in the day; Sierra remained a juggernaut.

All the money to take a poke at Disney style animation and live-action stuff simultaneously had to come from somewhere.

Ah we can finally say that @jfg.land and I had the real priviledge of working on narrative preproduction for several years on @marathonthegame.bungie.net ; it has an incredible narrative team, and a very special game that takes its narrative very seriously, in a fresh way that honors its unique past

yes like 'this is hypocritical' is hardly a gotcha, you can tell that from watching one of them for like 30 seconds

something I love about Louis’ previous docs is his willingness to set himself aside & immerse fully in bizarre environments to expose their contradictions. but it felt like this time, he was too afraid to look like a cuck beta or whatever to explore what they mean with that

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

I think it needed to connect red pill culture and crypto scamming to American politics much more clearly. and I think louis maybe allowed social media response to his presence to become too big a part of the story, luring him into an ego battle with his subjects. anyway

he seemed hung up on the subjects’ marriage arrangements and in proving that the desire for multiple partners was harmful to the men’s wives. regardless of how we feel about it, people do have toxic poly marriages like that, imo there were a lot more obvious harms to explore

maybe I’m already too acquainted with the topic, but I actually didn’t think the ‘manosphere’ documentary was Louis’ best work. these people are so naturally abhorrent that watching them speaks for itself, but I expected a clearer throughline to the wider harms of radicalization
