It's depressing after all these years to find that some people think a critic's job is to be in synch with popular taste. It's depressing how many critics think that's a critic's job. (1991)

An image of deer footprints in the about four inches of snow. There are partial pine needles and leaves visible where the snow covering the forest floor is disturbed.

Many deer tracks in the snow today.

This is very funny because there were (IIRC) a record number of mods created for Morrowind last year.

I know of the one loyalists had built in South Carolina using enslaved labor, and of fort Ticonderoga, but I am not an historian of the revolution by any measure

It's willful historical-cultural vandalism, to me. You're creating liesβ€”on purposeβ€”that people might think are real history, and that's irresponsible unless you really really label it as a completely fictional product.

We Need A Word That Goes Beyond 'Slop' For This One We've gone way past the bottom of the barrel

I need everyone who has ever counted buttons on historical clothing and uniforms, or painstakingly chose a color for a miniature's coat, or even taken a history class, to come together with me in hating this shit.

Reboot the Wing Commander game franchise with Lillard as a more senior but no less Maniac in the usual commanding officer role, IMO

Resident Evil Requiem’s Leon Kennedy became a β€œhot uncle” thanks to hawk-eyed female Capcom staff who reviewed β€œeven the finest wrinkles on his neck,” director says - AUTOMATON WEST In a recent interview, Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi talked more about how the "ikeoji" Leon Kennedy design came to be.

For the second game in a row Capcom staff proves they’re the horniest in gaming. This is Lady Dimitrescu’s stretch marks all over again.
