I played an upcoming game today that I have not stopped thinking about and want to go back to my hotel room and write about while it’s still fresh.

A rolling stone would gather plenty of moss if it were rolling over a bunch of sticky moss.

ABC’s The Rookie: Made by the LAPD | Spy Culture In this video essay I reveal the inner workings of the LAPD's Hollywood office (the Entertainment Trademark Unit), in particular how they worked on ABC's The Rookie. I analyse how the show dilutes and...

I don't entirely disagree with this, but The Rookie is straight up involved with the LAPD. www.spyculture.com/abcs-the-roo...

Panel 1
Comic titled “Rejection Sensitivity Explained.”
The ADHD Alien character stands beside another person who responds casually with the words “Oh, thanks.” The reaction is neutral and calm. The ADHD Alien character looks worried and overthinks the interaction. Caption text reads: “When people react neutrally to me, I think they secretly hate me.” Panel 2
The ADHD Alien character sits curled up on the floor in a dim room, looking anxious and overwhelmed. The caption reads: “It’s like my logic turns off and an emergency mode turns on.”
Thought bubbles show spiraling worries: “I must’ve done something wrong.” “I need to figure out what I did wrong.” “Did I overstep?”

Spent all vacation worrying that the people I’d meet wouldn’t like me. They liked me 😭. Could’ve enjoyed my croissant in peace

Rejection sensitivity part 1/4

I don’t really like NYAG’s lawsuit for the way it’s trying to crowbar in a violent video game thing, but I also kind of think this statement stinks.

Analyzing Acquisitions Through the Lens of Resident Evil | Restart Thanks to Resident Evil Requiem, we now know how much individual bioweapons cost in USD. So how many game studios would that be? And why is a BOW a much better option?

Resident Evil Requiem has a pricing list for the black market of bioweapons like Tyrants, Lickers, etc. Because I can only think about one thing I had to wonder aloud: could money on video game studio acquisitions instead be spent on monsters? www.restart.run/articles/ana...

My most charitable reading of this is EA is frustrated because the game came out of the gate as a success, the December update fucked it, and they had to delay season 2 because of it. Combine that with Zampella's tragic death making things feel rudderless and corporation does what corporation does.

That's beyond worth it for the PPVs alone. I should figure out how to get a VPN working.

In several ways, it straight up reminds me of a lost GameCube RPG. Did you like Mega Man X Command Mission? Without being able to supply direct comparisons, I think you'll also like the vibes of this!

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Review | Restart The latest RPG in the Monster Hunter universe is actually a pretty fun checklist game, but you definitely have no need to come to it for the story.

I liked Monster Hunter Stories 3 well enough, even though that took a bit of time to make happen. Under a normal truncated review schedule, I am not sure I would have been able to "find the fun," as it were. Unfortunate that the narrative drags it down for me. www.restart.run/articles/mon...
