Re-watching The Expanse for some optimism. By which I mean the whole galaxy ends up fucked, but at least it happens over years/decades rather than weeks.

And I can have a bit of sapphic longing, as a treat.

It strikes me that even in things like the Matrix where they're all in simulation, it's a shared simulation.

One horror of the chatbot is that everyone is isolated into their own reality with the amplifying social permission of a group, and none of the friction

I was thinking about the global situation, and my conclusion is this: it is resource-intensive, logistically difficult, emotionally unpleasant, and biologically uncomfortable to un-shit the bed.

I checked how many seasons the First Nations people here recognised and… 4. Anticlimactic, honestly.

So, the thing about procedurally generated dungeon names is...

Uhm...

Can't decide. Should I fix it so this can't happen or just... run with it? 😅

A screenshot from The Dagger of Amon Ra. The dialog box reads: "It’s too heavy. You don’t have room for it in your purse. It’s not yours. You can’t do anything with the shovel. You have more important things to do than use the shovel. Besides, the shovel is rusted into place."

Re-watch Apocalypse Now you say? Well, who am I to argue against such sage advice...

Death by Scrolling on Steam Welcome to Purgatory, inc. now under new management! Death by Scrolling is an action game where you kill enemies, collect gold, and avoid the Reaper long enough to pay the Ferrymanʼs exorbitant river-crossing fee to the afterlife.

So if you don't own it on Steam, now's a great time to remedy that!

It comes with a brand new update - a new world, a new character, and many other updates and changes! Which are of course coming as an update to Mac/Linux/Windows as well.

** For legal reasons, Fred will not be appearing in the game.

Not that I know of, unfortunately. But my god I want one. And would make one, if I had the Dollarydoos for such a project.

I think I probably spent too much time thinking about things so tomorrow I’m going to set aside some time to think about thinking about things less.

Also, even a passable 1K bluray at that high bitrate looks nicer on modern TVs than crunchy mpeg-artifacty 4K streamed to your TV.

I love the sheer amount of subtle and unsubtle genderfuckery in The Fifth Element. It's made it age great for me because if you get all the flight attendants, radio DJs and weirdo military sorts, it's basically just my friendship group.

WHAT.

Look if you ever get to Australia I'll show it to you.

TBH I'm mostly shocked because you're such a fellow '90s chick... and it's SO '90s.

You're planning a two-film movie night.

The first film is The Fifth Element.

What do you follow it up with?

Yep. GenAI to make placeholder art is a bad idea on every level.

X-Wing / Tie Fighter just had everything you needed at a glance with a nice big next task screen right in front of you.

The elaborate direct key shortcuts took a bit of practice but once you got the hang of it etc

A question for you all - which VIDEO GAME has your favourite in-game interface? That means UI, controls, everything. An interface that not only feels natural and good but immerses you in the game, makes playing easy, AND makes you want to keep playing. Can be from any era.
