Thanks for the linked articles I will be reading them!

Pawn to e4 (as the developers intended)

Amazing

Half Life 2: Lost Coast is the only other I can think of and it’s very narrow in its scope

My dream is that there is one day the video game equivalent of what Understanding Comics is for Comics, but the truth is Understanding Comics is a great way of evaluating all multi-media so it does a good job filling that niche anyway!

Rian what are you doing to me youtu.be/gJxzhUAGBDw?...

Theater truly is something special and most so when it creates moments like these that are so unique to the stage.

Crumbl saying a single cookie is six servings is practically criminal

imo more about the rater or the community than it is about the media itself

Your work is always a treat

The full version is on Disney+ again in special features!

You must be ready to stand for your beliefs

Best Muppet Film and easily Top 5 Christmas movie

No lie detected. Somehow the Muppets managed the best adaptation of the source material and I’m eternally grateful.

YouTube video by Shaun When Love Is Gone - The Muppet Christmas Carol - HD Widescreen

Not even mentioning the heart breaking sequence where Belle leaves young Scrooge through a painful ballad while Scrooge of the present tries to sing along with her— but she can’t hear him because she’s only a memory. youtu.be/RbawsayImds?...

I am ready to deeply analyze Muppet Christmas Carol and advocate for Muppet Knives Out on a MOMENT’S NOTICE

Counterpoint— Muppet Christmas Carol has Michael Caine playing an entirely serious, almost Shakespearean Scrooge in a sequence where he witnesses the aftermath of the death of Kermit’s sickly child and it’s one of the BEST Muppet movies.

This looks lovely!

I miss the cyber maximalist aesthetic of the early 2000s.

That group must have hated Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain

The inverse of this was also true, you could install PC games and put an audio CD in the drive and it would play the tracks on that CD as if it was the soundtrack. We did that with Quake all the time lol

Honestly could wait until 2030

“I work on one layer”

Designers need to get off their high horse and get on a sky whale.

There’s almost never a conversation where I’d bring it up.

I think a number of developers underestimate how willing players are to play video games that look like video games. Many would gladly enjoy games graphically similar to 2004-2010 as long as they look crisp with minimal compression artifacts and modern resolution at ~60+FPS

And unlike the dot com bubble there isn’t an underlying paradigm shifting technology— just some tools that have useful edge case uses. But hopefully the bubble bursting ironically leads to more jobs lol

When I die I’m going to ask that “mori no chiisana restaurant” be played on an infinite loop at the viewing.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reuniting three decades after Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure to perform in a Broadway production of Waiting for Godot is the exact kind of shenanigans the world needs.

An episode of Pokemon where a water type gym leader has trained his Pokemon to produce only distilled water thereby negating their weakness to electricity
