Not yet. I'm going to a screening tomorrow.

Iron Lung is playing right now in theaters worldwide.

It's been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be part of this journey along with Mark and co, and the result is one of the best things I've ever been part of.

I hope you all enjoy it!

My wife asked if I was wearing my cast and crew shirt to the Iron Lung screening I'm attending, and I was like "maybe, but I like being anonymous"

She looked at me like I was crazy and, yeah, I guess I deserve to show off a little bit this once.

"PTSD" was really just inspired by Marks performance. He portrays the "5 stages of grief" REALLY well but I personally identified with the specific scene this music was made for. He nails it and I wanted to do my best to make sure he had something to match it behind him.

So, obviously there are a ton of soulslikes out there, but are there any that go more for the "I can't see anything and a bunch of wheely skeletons just stunlocked me to death" souls vs the "dodge roll this 24 attack chain with perfect timing" souls?

Iron Lung🩸 will be in theaters Jan 30th!
Check a theater near you on Ironlung.com .
To celebrate, we put up the soundtrack early across platforms. I hope you enjoy the work that we all put into this film.

Because I am always incredibly late to things, my wife and I started watching The Mandalorian.

At what point should I expect to start being disappointed?

It's phenomenal yeah

That's a great question actually @ducky-dev.bsky.social

Closer to Erie but the same principle applies yeah

Why

What would count as industrial scifi?

Yeah I still think about it regularly so I'm sure I will at some point. Really good world building.

Oh wow, that does look gorgeous

Excellent work on the particles! I've specifically noticed that they're extremely good.

Is the falling ash near the beginning localized around the player?

Yup I've dipped into that! Really enjoyed what I read and idk why I left it unfinished. Bad attention span I guess. I should pick it back up.

It's one of my favorite movies!

I guess the closest thing to 70s scifi aesthetics in videogames would be... No Man's Sky? Or something else I'm not aware of?

I think I can see that Starfield tried a little bit also? But with extremely mixed results.

To be clear I'm not going to pretend I'm a scifi genre expert and there's probably a wealth of more interesting modern stuff to be found in corners I just haven't searched, but it's kind of shocking how so many fantastical worlds existed before it turned into metal hallways and pseudorealism

I'm starting to delve more into 70s scifi art and writing for inspiration, and it's making me suspect that my long disinterest in scifi has mostly to do with how stale and unimaginative it's become now as a codified genre.

Raising the Bar: Redux is a thing of beauty
