Ooooo, I am so interested in the process of this one, it's suffused in the canvas.

Introducing Future Ruins.

Some of the most powerful music of our time has never been heard live—until now.

On Saturday, November 8, @future-ruins.bsky.social arrives in Los Angeles: a first-of-its-kind music festival of the world’s most influential composers.

if you're looking for sites to support:

defector
onion
404
remap

are all independent sites I can vouch for!

And film and television and... It's just rich dudes in suits that are the common denominator here, yeah?

I think it'd be neat if someone did what David Lynch and Sabrina Sutherland did with casting, but with Millennial sensibilities. Like a surreal, intense thriller with Alicia Silverstone as the lead, until halfway where she turns into Rachel Blanchard.

Every time I think you couldn't excite about those games more, you say things like this.

FIVE CANS?!

Made the phrase "Buffy, fabulous super hero" live rent free in my mind my entire life too.

Lol still haven't paid off the first one. Ah the curse of the early adopter

Bang 5!

People Born in 1981-1996, how’s life?

#ImmortalityGame but it's episodes of a fictionalized California Dreams-like teen sitcom on VHS that degrades while you match cut through episodes and eventually disintegrates.

"Are... Are you... some kind of ghost?"
BOO 😁 🐦‍⬛

when you ask a AAA developer if their game was inspired by current events and politics

I am bizarrely revisiting Watch Dogs Legion right now, and for some reason I'm no longer bouncing off it's setting outside of this country, recruiting an entire population to rise and fight against techno-fascism, or it's proc-gen tech facilitating that tasting uncanny and like AI slop.

I hate these bastards in Silicon Valley so much for what they've done to the idea of tech. The idea that we as a collective people could work together to improve our lives through ingenuity, collaboration, and determination. Instead, it's become a ponzi scheme based on the idea of line goes up.

It feels like I can trace so much of what disappoints or disgusts me today back to the ideas of Live Service and engagement metrics. Just ruined *everything*

I see your nostalgic escape hatch and raise you entirely recreated Saturday Morning programming blocks from my youth like the USA Action Extreme Team in a VR 1996 bedroom

This, but all art and entertainment full stop.

That and Belgrade back to back to back to back to back

So that comment from those people in FWwM feels connected somehow to Charlie in the Return referring to The Little Girl Down the Lane, but I still don't know how to articulate HOW

Big city vibes in my game.

just watch a tv show and let its creators tell you the story over its entire run, what is wrong with you people

Amusing and distracting myself rewatching Dead at 21 in preparation for season two of Severance.

They're both fantastic and complete the narrative.

They will not learn. Man, if y'all don't stop trying to teach lessons. Why does everyone think they're J Walter Weatherman! No one learns. There are no lessons.

So go back to the cluuuuuuuuuub, because you are a pimp and pimps do not commit suicide.

Where we're going we won't need a minimap YouTube video by Vuntra City

Come take a walk through my procedural city with me... and get lost, but just a bit 😉
