THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Never expected to see fan art for my charming tea merchant who is out of tea ☺️☕️ Outstanding, @mukuuji.bsky.social! Maybe he’ll get some tea now, as a treat.

This entire piece is spectacular, but this bit is a little grenade

Reanimal is gorgeous so far ❤️ The environment has this oppressive WWI era vibe in addition to the weird animal shit happening everywhere. Genuinely fun couch co-op horror with lots of spooky surprises. 🐑

Pat yourself on the back for Rekke, who holds the crown as the undefeated MVP for the most subtle and most interesting plot hook in gaming! ❤️

Apparently I DO have five hours to kill, and my attention span is just fine 😅 This was a really fun watch. It’s rewarding to see someone dissect a project so thoughtfully. Feeling prouder than ever to have written some good words over the last ten years.

On the flipside, it's also SH in the sense that it lacks enemy variety. But some of the enemies and boss fights are genuinely surprising.

...it echoes SH2 specifically because certain in-game choices (some story, some systemic) contribute to multiple different endings (which the game will detail after the first completion).

I do highly recommend it. Without giving anything away, it's SH in the sense that everything Hinako goes through is tied to an internal and external struggle. And...

Creative writing degree, BUT I took mostly literature classes in undergrad.

We’re lucky to have this adaptation. So many good details nestled around. I only recently learned about the translation of the chant that accompanies the ringwraiths, which gave me some newfound appreciation. lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Rev...

Just saying, it can get messier!

Did you pick one of her relationship backgrounds? 👀

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

I love getting to just sit with my friends and talk all of the shop. Thanks @jesawyer.bsky.social! 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlMw...

Happy almost Halloween 🎃❤️

Amazon's official statement quoted in this article is incoherent word salad, and I hope they choke on their beloved AI.

During the last year of collaboration I've been so impressed by the sequel's Narrative team and the devotion to their work and characters. They genuinely care about what they're doing, and that care is present and significant in all of their writing and design. Cheers and well-done 🥂

The marketing image for The Outer Worlds 2 which features an illustrated desert landscape with colorful flora. Moon Man holds a laser gun and stands atop a dead stheno.

Many congratulations to my friends on Outer Worlds 2 who I watched toil from afar. Shout out in particular to the narrative designers who kicked ass:

Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire is the snowglobe that will roll out of my hands at the moment of my death.

Hilariously my first ending was the "shoot the hologram child" ending, which is probably the worst outcome. But in retrospect I do see it as the "I reject this entire premise" ending.

5/ The pre-order rabbit outfit is both a charming callback to SH3 and also thematically appropriate to this game (where you are being hunted by a predator).

4/ The journal has GORGEOUS illustrations that update as things get... different, and a dossier that updates as you learn more about your friends and family.

3/ Story is inferred from examinables and by using personal deduction to make connections between plot threads and repeated mentions of characters. Again, the confidence.

2/ Robust NG+ with alternate endings, different scenes and conversations, new easter eggs sprinkled around, and they actually *tell* you how to get the alt endings (i.e. Do this but not that). Legend.

1/ Things I really love about Silent Hill f, a thread. No spoilers.

A LOT of early game conversations only make sense on subsequent playthroughs once you get what's going on. The confidence to do that with players is inspiring.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today
