Here's my massive interview with Sunset Visitor and Black Tabby Games - where we dive into the AI stories in literature colliding with the state of "AI" in 2026, how the CAPTCHA system is an "act of violence," and the ever ongoing funding for indies issue www.cgmagonline.com/interviews/1...

I want this beef with the Vatican to keep escalating because I'm pretty sure the Pope has some sort of gilded battle mech laced with saint bones.

Photo of a disassembled model kit of the titular protagonist's airplane from Porco Rosso. The side on view shows the inner part of the fuselage. A bright yellow fuel tank sits on the olive frame. In the rear pilot seat is a painted model of Porco, in his flight uniform with white kerchief, tan suit and brown head cap. In the front gunner seat is a model of Fio Piccolo, in a white jumpsuit with a brown cap. 

Behind them is the red fuselage of the Savoia.

The same plane from the previous picture put over the inner cockpit. Only the top half of Fio's head sticks out, and Porco is only visible from the neck up. All that painted detail hidden.

More progress on this Porco Rosso Savoia S.21F model kit. Painting Fio was a giant pain in the ass.

Fortunately when the fuselage is properly attached, it's not a huge deal.

In the center of the frame over white snowcapped mountains is a fluffy white cloud that looks almost tornado shaped. At the top wide and then twists down to a point where it blends with another cloud making it look like a vortex that would suck up a protagonist and send them to an alternate dimension.

My elementary school science project on Cumulonimbus clouds did not adequately prepare me for whatever the fuck this video game-ass looking cloud is; spotted today in the Eastern Sierras.

Variety spends the first 8 grafs on JKR being a piece of transphobic shit in this article and that's the way every single report on her should work actually.

A screenshot from the recently released Marathon video game. The first person perspective shows the player (me) standing in front of a console of the Hauler, a giant mining vehicle. At the bottom of the screen, a button prompt shows up that just says "Honk." 

Upon pressing it, a devastatingly loud horn rings out over the entire map, signaling to players where you are.

The intrusive thoughts won. (I was hunted down and died shortly after)

10/10 would honk again.

First Grammarly cloned me without permission. Then another AI company asked if it could do the same—for $2,000 Welcome to writing about computer games in 2026.

“It was like an out of body experience, except I couldn't stop thinking about another ‘me’ out there giving people bad advice and making a company a bunch of money.”

I am assuming this is Apocalypse Now!, an excellent film all-around. But it could also be Tropic Thunder, which would be an equally valid choice?

The bit of severance I've had from Inverse (thank god for unions) is ending this week. I've got freelance work, but the walls are closing in just a little more. I'm actively looking for work, so please reach out if you need a talented writer, critic, or consultant with 15 years of experience.

I try not to dump all over things online, mostly it’s exhausting and makes me sad, and nobody needs to hear my take on that DLSS 5 demo.

So tell me about a game that has a visual identity you love, created by a human artist?

Sometimes dumb hobbies aren't so dumb!

I've been assembling guitar FX pedals for my daughter's electric guitar...basic soldering to a PCB.

This helped me fix my old subwoofer because I was able to swap out two $0.35 capacitors on the board instead of replacing the whole damn thing.

A yellow pie filling flecked with purple bits of lavender is surrounded by an uneven brown graham cracker crust in a white pie dish. After refrigeration, it will be amazingly delicious.

Make sure you get your pie day pie baked!

This year's is lemon lavender...I almost did an insane thing of using those Royal Danish butter cookies for the crust because I couldn't find graham crackers.

I regret not doing that now.

I don't know where I'm sitting at with Marathon. It's right on the edge of like...insanely good pop-art visuals/UI, but it's almost a little too much.

And maybe I'm just missing the point but everyone I've encountered have gone full murder-hobo. Like to the point where I got teamkilled on spawn-in
