Highlight of typo “our reginos”

This place is so unserious

Can't help but feel it's the billionaire class putting us back in our place. We're going through it in games, too. Bleak shit.

Too Many F*cking Nazis is the name of a new Steam FPS, and coincidentally an accurate description of its Steam community forums Apparently a controversial idea for a videogame in 2026?

Best headline of the week and it's only Monday www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/to...

Cutie alert!

Pretty unbelievable that a studio with these names can't even get a publisher on goodwill alone. Bleak stuff

god gave me free will and a pen

the ending to "Cruis'n World" is fucking insane

The death of Sora is a good time to check in on how other attempts to slopify Hollywood are going. In December 2024, I wrote about Chinese television giant TCL’s attempt to make an AI-generated movie studio called TCL Film Machine, which was pitched as a “key pillar of TCLArt, an important brand initiative of TCL to make art more accessible and inspiring worldwide.” I went to the premiere of a series of short films that were pitched as a new way of making movies faster and cheaper. At the time, I asked Chris Regina, TCL’s then Chief Content Officer and a leader of the TCL Film Machine project what the plan was. “If you can imagine where we might be a year or 18 months from now, I think that in some ways is probably what scares a lot of the industry because they can see where it sits today, and as much as they want to poke holes or be critical of it, they do realize that it will continue to be better,” he said, 14 months ago. Regina and another TCL executive on that project now have other jobs. TCL itself has released the five shorts I saw, as well as an 11-minute, widely mocked romcom film called Next Stop Paris, and a four-minute film called Memory Maker. Memory Maker was released 13 months ago and has 1,771 views on YouTube. Next Stop Paris has 10,000 views on YouTube. Comments have been turned off for both movies. The “applications” page for prospective TCL Film Machine projects is now just a static page, and TCL hasn’t mentioned AI films in any of its press releases in roughly a year; many of its recent announcements have to do with releasing reruns of shows from the 80s and 90s.

Thought it was a good time to check on how another attempt to to make AI movies was going:

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity.

Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win.
You make this industry exist. They don’t.

Some of those Slay the Spire 2 placeholders are also so god damn endearing and makes me love the work infinitely more than any AI amalgam would.

Just look at this handsome little bastard.

Ugh. Being sick over a weekend should get you a free do-over.

Rest in peace, Sam Kieth. Never met him, but my god, what an artist.

Cover of THE MAXX issue 2. The Maxx (a big purple, inhuman looking character with weird singular claws on his fists), the Jungle Queen (a blonde woman in a leopard print bikini and surprisingly natural, human proportions, and an honest to god Leopard, grace the cover under the edgy logo.

The Maxx bears his claws on the cover of issue 3.

A splash page from the comic. The Maxx grumbles about being in his dream world one minute while being in the real world the next, while he is still chasing the weird little inky black monster he was chasing in his dream.

It cannot be overstated how weird & groundbreaking THE MAXX was upon release. It was this crazy culture grenade, bridging the Venn diagram between mainstream comics & Alt (not indie) comics. In an era of anti-heroes, The Maxx satirized that, redefining what mainstream comics could be. RIP Sam Kieth.

Sam Kieth meant so much to me as a traumatized, misunderstood, weirdo creative kid. I can’t even process this right now

I had the honor of interviewing the great @jenn-svedberg-yen.bsky.social about...everything! Her, her work, the winding path she took to working on E33, her experience and feelings writing for it, and what she's up to now. She's legitimately just, so cool.

I love game reviews sometimes when they’re like, “it’s absolute dogwater and I hated every minute of it. 8/10”

Weak aura: no one understands me :-( Strong aura: no one understands me :-)
