Having a teary cup of tea about this today. It delights and stuns me to see this kind of thoughtful writing about something my dad had a hand in bringing to life. The art we make keeps moving through the world, even after we’re gone. It can be silly and meaningful all at once.

I'm still baffled we got something this good out of the current Disney machine.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm kind of hoping the bad press over Kiwami 3 will also help, hopefully a company with the means realizes the goods was always with Nagoshi.

So we need to put together a crew to pull off a heist of unprecedented importance...

I find this "hot take" far more annoying than people just not getting the original text. Because the former is masquerading as the one who understands when they are engaging with the art just as much on the surface as those that miss it entirely.

I made a mistake of reading more of that thread and like It's also okay for Anti-heros to be cool. Fictional characters can do deplorable things and still be cool. The irony here is this person is not actually engaging with the art. This conversation is so fucking old and tired.

People just saying words like they don't have meaning. Also, yeah we should totally be critiquing the art instead of the powers that co oped the art for their nefarious means. That makes sense.

a hundred dollar video game? yeah, right So, a while back, I saw someone had the bright idea to say that a $100 video game was where games were headed. As someone who has done a…

New article time!!!

Ever wonder why a bunch of weirdoes keep telling us that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most important event in history and video game prices have to go up?

Well, here's why these weirdoes are completely out of touch with reality!

Been championing this film since it surprised the hell out of me upon relase. Knew nothing of it prior. LOVED your review.

Just ask yourself if you want to see a hot woman tearing through men with a sword and flintlock pistol and then press play

Holy shit! THE BLUFF is fuckin' incredible. Karl Urban is a wonderful scummy villain with the always great Temuera Morrison. But Priyanka Chopra absolutely steals the entire movie. And what a vehicle for her. An absolutely bloody pirate affair with incredible action. She fucks people up, friends.

Kate said it way better than I ever could. If you don't believe me, listen to her

The Bluff (2026) Review: 19th Century Swashbuckling Meets Modern Revenge Actioner The Bluff (2026) understands what audiences have come to expect from action movies with Priyanka Chopra Jonas central to its success.

The Bluff is really fucking great y'all! It's John Wick and the Villainess revenge in 19th-century Cayman Islands where Priyanka Chopra gives us one of the best female action performances that we have gotten in the US.

Revenge Actioner but make it pirates.

I think that will be a fun aesthetic to try in pixel art. Plus I want to lean on the tropes of the genre with a simple lone gunman revenge story. Having that to lean on while I teach myself this system felt like a good starting point. I just want to execute those tropes well, not reinvent the wheel.

I'm pretty sure spaghetti! But I also have A LOT to learn with them so my thoughts could change.

Funny you say this, I've recently dove into Godot for the first time and I've been tossing around an idea for a side scrolling western. I went to western films for research because I love the genre but didn't actually realize how right you are about westerns being so underutilized in games.

Is Mass Effect considered a space Opera? That probably counts more as a shooter too.

Dynamic lighting makes so much difference for pixel art games.

I think a lot of Gundam fans are familiar with this image of Karl Urban and Viggo Mortensen stocking up on MSiA, but did you know that both of them are wearing Viggo’s homemade No More Blood for Oil (in Japanese) t-shirts?

i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the β€œbenefits” and risks/harms of AI

in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period
