This is great, for sure, but my go to for that is The French Connection. Those two (cos the sequel is every bit as good as the first) are in my 10 ten movies ever list.

Well that really depends on who you are taking about. One rather concrete example springs to mind.

I wish they hadn’t couched it in those terms.

My take is that you do have to explain the mechanics - what you don’t have to explain is how and when to use those mechanics.
Players are, by and large, quite unimaginative and do need a degree of hand holding in terms of how, if not why and when.

Oh it’s from Clayton? Oh cool!

In a nutshell. 😊

Loving that t shirt. Anyone know where to get that?

The Quiet Things Announcement Trailer | PULLED from the BAFTA Game Awards 2026 YouTube video by Silver Script Games

here's the trailer for the game in case anyone wants www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMzC...

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Klingon politics. TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO SIGH.

I have a plaque on my desk that says ‘I really just want to be nice to everyone, but some people are just so stupid’

Two unlikely game studios have joined forces to create Forbidden Solitaire.

This is almost word for word what I said. I was told ‘your resume is missing some keywords’, and I said ‘what keywords specifically?’ And never got an answer, so yeah.

It was quite obvious after a couple of emails that they were ChatGPT generated.

Yeah, I got one of those recently. Told me they had a company making an RTS and wanted me specifically. I was suspicious but wrote something anyway, and then it became clear they were trying to sell me ‘resume tweaking’ services.

Excellent. Congratulations. We are about the same for Lassen’s Loop! What platforms are you hitting?
We are doing android, iOS, windows and OSX, launching with 14 languages. It’s been a bit daunting, to be honest.

So the story of Doctor Who in video games is fascinating. The BBC is hard to work with just because of the sheer number of levels to work through to get approvals, plus the deal the actors have to get so much $ for their use.
Doctor who games are passion projects because there no profit to be made.

There is a ton of them around here because there is a Tesla device center about a mile from my office. They look like a 9 year olds drawing come to life. Without exception everyone who drives on is tired of justifying it everyone else.

Or kid rock. Or Marylin Manson. Or… the list goes on.

We are on a mission from God.

Quite literally.

Also - I hate <insert location here> nazis.

Any advice on this? I’m assuming you are talking Next Fest? I’m going to try and get Lassens Loop in there for July.

TFW your mom went to the moon, but she came back

More abject stupidity from… well, you know who.

Do you think it takes effort to be that dumb? Like he’s really that much of a moron that he needs to post shit about the pope??

I just wonder how he manages to brush his teeth without poking his eyes out with a tooth brush.

Hard to argue with that, so I won’t :)

This is funny, because only a few days ago, I was taking with a friend who mentioned he has a bottle of Veuve Cliquot in his fridge, ‘waiting for when it happens’.
And now I find 4 other friends with the same thing - a particularly good bottle of something, waiting for that day to celebrate.

Turns out you are 100% correct and I allowed my own bad preconceptions to filter my view.

Well, thats rectified now. An easy follow, frankly.

Someone mentioned that @morgfair.bsky.social did some good work during the pandemic, and it turns out that’s true.
Just watched some of what she has to say and yeah, she’s an insta follow.
I have misjudged her; didn’t take her seriously and I should have and that’s on me.
Well, it’s rectified now.

You can’t analyze Trump level stupid and expect it to make any sense whatsoever. There’s no rationality or logic to it.

It’s a petty minded 7 year old throwing a tantrum - the literal example of throwing the toys out of the pram.

I do love Bath, and the two characters are just so great together.
The Doctor Who/ Torchwood reunion episode was hilarious. Naoko Mori looking around a room and saying ‘it’s smaller in here than it looks’ was outstanding.
But it’s a great series altogether, very much agreed.
