Love young Frank, so dapper. Reminds me of my dad during that era.

In my mind the horror lives
To feel death deep inside
Relentless lust of rotting flesh
To thrash the tomb she lies
Heathen whore of Satan's wrath
I spit at your demise
Virgin child now drained of life
Your soul cannot be free
Not given the chance to rot in Hell
Lost two friends and co-workers from my time at EA-LA in the last two months.
RIP Scott, RIP Priest, gone far too soon.
Damn, this is phenomenal and really unexpected. Was raised on Tom Waits and Massive Attack are incredibly important to me, have been for years.
Welcome back, Mr. Waits!

A metaphor I keep using with extraction shooters is sub sims. And there are times I think, “OK Zacny, stop returning to your comfortable framing.“ But then I read @rossignol.bsky.social on Hunt development and how a powerful passive sonar ability instantly backfired. www.jank.cool/hunt-showdow...
LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!
Same, one of the best parts of being an RTS designer was building out these worlds in miniature.
small claylike figures of continents, with snowy mountains, dinosaurs, and boats
Overworld maps are some of my favourite part of games 🌎
sadly very predictable but also horrendous. and these are just people who have been caught www.wired.com/story/deepfa...
Seems like all narrative designers are beautiful funny women with great opinions

Fostering a new pup - well, she’s five, but they’re all pups to me - who was surrendered by her family, she’s confused and a little sad, so we’re doing our absolute best to make her feel welcome and loved.
Her name is Sugar and she’s as sweet as her name. Just a lovely little dog.
Story of my career. I'm very good at what I'm good at, but one of my core skills beyond that is internal networking.
And get a How To Destroy Angels song too!
Watched some more Coachella livestreams. Nine Inch Noize was phenomenal, probably hyperbolic but it felt like it immediately became an iconic performance that‘ll be talked about for years.
Model / Actriz were great too, glad to see them pull a crowd and Cole get to do his whole thing.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

It lead directly to me turning into a total video store / dollar theater guy when I moved somewhere where that was possible to be - there were so many movies I learned about from Cinemania and really needed to see.
Streaming the Jack White Coachella set and the man is melting faces.
For me it was Microsoft Cinemania, which was an excellent use of the medium and incredibly compelling for a budding teenage film lover stuck somewhere culturally limited.
