Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/
“Coked-up wolverines tore our nursery apart. Here’s my 15-point newsletter you can read so when YOU use coked-up wolverines, it might not can happen less.”
So, minor confession time: Until very recently I had not played more than an hour or so of Nier: Automata.
I know! I know! I enjoyed the original, I was looking forward to it, and then I lost my job right when it was released...
Anyway I'm nearly all the way through it now, and have a small story:
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I will tell you what and who counts as human. There will be no problems with this.
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
I've written more Boba Fett dialogue than anyone else.
You tried spinning!

When a commenter sums it up better than I could
….YES. Is what I’m telling myself.
I currently have brain metastasized melanoma (skin cancer). The prognosis is classically a few days to a few weeks. I was diagnosed at the end of last June. Getting close to 9 months surviving and keeping this in stalemate. Treatment options are that much better than ten years ago!
Mike, holy shit!
I mean. Congrats? Yes, congrats. Also holy shit. That’s scary and insanely cool and impressive and insane. I’m so sorry you’re facing this but glad you’re punching it in the face as much as you are.
Here’s to the next 9, and the 90 after that, and…!
Never ship your arms deals on a Friday.

please to not give in to despair. if you want to start somewhere you can help, a donation to Doctors Without Borders is a great place to start
I tried. I donated, phone banked, talked. Whatever I could think of to avoid him getting elected.
Other people did more, I know.
At what point would I have done enough to stop 60 little girls from getting blown apart by missiles my tax money paid for? I never would have known, but I’d pay it now.

This is what negotiators told the media just hours ago btw.
There is no reason for a "preventative" or "preemptive" strike on Iran.
This is only being done either so a peace deal is not reached, or so that there is complete capitulation (which won't happen without a war)
Lud was on his way to renew his fucking work visa when ICE snagged him. This is beyond fucking parody at this point. Our country is deeply, fundamentally fucking broken.
