One of the things that appeals to me about Inception, is how similar it feels to working in story. It's not about having a good idea or storytelling chops - that's just getting in the door. It's about having to 'incept' a working story through the gauntlet of 'creative' gatekeepers in one piece.

As someone who has been a decades-long user of this – I'm sad to see it become the next victim of A.I. slop, the Em Dash. It's not your fault Em Dash, I still love you.

Hitler Used a Bogus Crisis of ‘Public Order’ to Make Himself Dictator Using disorder he had helped manufacture, the chancellor seized control of Bavaria.

Rediscovered Halo 3 multiplayer with my son and wow - Bungie really nailed something special with that game. Taking itself the right amount of serious, contrasted with the absurdity of the physics engine/ragdolls gives it that comedic sweetspot without 'winky' punchline dialogue. Uses the medium.

Does it count as a weed if it's random tomato and strawberry plants? The animals have apparently been planting their own gardens all around our home.

TV autoframe smooths motion, making it look terrible. Animators know each frame is designed for nuance; filling in gaps doesn't work. AI follows the same aesthetic with an ever growing deluge of copypasta cringe. This seems like an opportunity for a 2D renaissance - once laws protect it from scrapes

Relying on a screenplay over storyboards to write a film is like relying on sheet music over playing music to write a song.

Watch Extremely Inappropriate! | Netflix A single father desperately tries to return to 1986 after somehow arriving in 2024, where his Showa-era ideas come across as completely inappropriate.

We haven't had Netflix for a while, but 2 great shows we finished after a re-up are:

Extremely Inappropriate

Telling a story for your medium, means using the language and palette of that medium to tell it. Too often, stories and experiences are limited by the characters on a keyboard.

Hmm, the switch 2 drop doesn't feel as good as the first one did with a clear tentpole game to drive it like BotW. I just don't see any games that justify a new system. Holding off until Metroid then, we'll see... First time I've not been eager to get a Nintendo system at launch.
