I’m toying with the idea of recording a Resident Evil: Requiem playthrough. Might be a fun diversion to record and edit a video seeing as I want to play the game anyway. Give some insights from a game design perspective (look, I’m finally using my degree!) and maybe even from a screenwriter’s?

It’s fucking surreal to see wars actually be advanced to bring about the apocalypse/return of Christ after having written that into a screenplay I’ve been working on-and-off for years.
It’s never a bad time to quit using Amazon, folks. Been a year and a half and any minor inconvenience has been far outweighed by the satisfaction of not contributing to this man’s grotesque wealth and influence.
'"The alleged offender is known to police for petty crime and a number of mental health incidents," Superintendent Glasser said.'
How many attacks, murders and suicides will our country see before the government finally makes a concerted effort to understand and treat mental illness?
Townfall's theme also repeats each bar once before shifting, adding to that swinging Waltz-feel, whereas Promise's motif shifts notes between each single bar. So Townfall's is at once truncated in notes, but elongated through repetition. Trance-like. It gives me goosebumps watching the trailer.

It even follows the same initial intervallic changes, just an octave lower, going from G2-G3-D4 to Eb3-G3-D4. From here, Promise's motif shifts to E4-G4-C5, then Eb4-G4-C5 before repeating the phrase, whereas Townfall's goes to C3-G3-C4, then travels slightly while returning to the root -G3-D4.

The composer - rumored not to be Akira Yamaoka, but musician @pilotpriest.bsky.social - took the base ostinato from 'Promise (Reprise)', dropped it an octave lower, and used the first three notes to turn it into a haunting, beautifully melancholic, warbled waltz (from 4/4 to a 3/4).

The #SilentHillTownfall reveal trailer made a powerful impression on me - it's tonal perfection. Yes, it's suitably foggy, and the Scottish fishing town is a tangible, thematically fitting location. But more than that, it's the parallels to Silent Hill 2 and, in particular, the music...

This would be, in every way, worse than a Netflix-WB deal. No point in preserving the integrity of the theatrical experience for a company funded by a right-wing ideologue. I don't believe there's a world in which Larry Ellison funds One Battle or Sinners. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/b...

Social Cohesion, one vertebrae at a time, one pensioner at a time, until we all start getting along by thinking what the government tells you to.
I thought Half-Life 3 was hype enough, but now I’m intrigued… not even REMOTELY theorised about?! Hmm…
this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke
A soy boy snowflake by their own definitions.
And what does he think this will achieve? Convince WB to sell to him?! Threatening legal action and then campaigning for government intervention is the weirdest courtship ritual I’ve ever heard of.
Kudos to the Golden Globe producer who - immediately after a joke about famous people on the Epstein list - cuts to Bill Maher.
WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.
Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.
There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.
Fuckin’ oath.
The bots on Twitter are claiming Zelenskyy was behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 😂
New Year’s isn’t a Jewish holiday and the menorah has no place being part of the celebration. The most arrogant people in history.
I’m liking it so far. Early still, though.
Do all these trash bags not have parents? We don't put enough emphasis on the lack of parenting education and parenting, period. The youth today have been left to their devices, literally, and now society is paying for it. Do you think they're going to age into well-adjusted individuals?
Got Disney+ for a year. Immediately started watching Alien: Earth… I had zero clue the budget was so freaking high!
Then at the end of episode 2, I popped when ‘Stinkfist’ by TOOL started playing!
And tonight, episode 3… ‘Wherever I May Roam’ by Metallica?! Noah Hawley is my dude!
#AlienEarth
I have zero respect for people who speed and drive recklessly, endangering - and taking - lives.
There's a way to critique a film without being so melodramatic and dismissive of the work it took hundreds of people as to say "I survived" a film - ANY film. This is the type of snobby, entirely disrespectful bullshit that keeps driving the wedge between critics and the moviegoing audience.
Things are going great over at X, The Everything App
NCAR manages the Wyoming Supercomputing Center, where researchers from other institutions have access to high-performance computing resources (most recently Cheyenne and now Derecho) to model weather, climate, wildfires, air pollution, etc. Everyone is less safe if NCAR is dismantled.
We shouldn't tolerate it, period.
