The Wailing (2016)

As long as you’re prepared for its 2.5hr runtime, this one is great. Visceral and keeps you second guessing the whole way through. IMO the ending deserves being as drawn out as it is, making you sit in your discomfort and uncertainty as you await the final reveal.

Sandwiches are so good…

It’s just cause we’re both lactose sensitive/intolerant and that’s all we had on hand. If I could use anything I’d probably have used like a Gouda or provolone or mild white cheddar

OH also some smoked paprika

Chris (X-YZE out now!) @chrislsound.itch.io · 18h

I made an open-face one today:
- apple cinnamon sourdough, toasted on pan w butter
- spread Dutch apple jam
- spiced w black pepper, thyme, & a tiny bit of onion powder & garlic powder
- layered on some honey smoked turkey deli slices
- hash brown patty on top with a little bit of vegan mozzarella

i firmly believe the magic and wonder people long for from childhood so bad is still here, despite all the adult stressors and obligations that distract from it, it can still be reached if your heart is open to it.. some days when i'm not too caught up in the whirl, it even comes to visit on its own

Question for #x-yze players!

I'm struggling to write the next dev diary, so I offhandedly mentioned to a small group that I was considering a Q&A/AMA for the game. It got a more positive response than expected, so I wanna ask more broadly: Would you be interested in that? Would you have questions?

LOOKING FOR AN INDIGENOUS COLLABORATOR 🧵

I'm planning a video essay on the Billy Jack films, particularly focusing on Trial of Billy Jack & its angry panorama of 1970s political activism - police brutality, penal reform, Viet Nam, Kent State - it kinda has everything & I wanna dig into that.

I probably wouldn't officially start taking questions until later this month or early November, just to give more folks more time to finish the game. I would answer things in the form of a blog post/devdiary (like the one about the music)

been having the music/games 'industry' parallel on the mind all the way through games week, and that always leads back to me thinking about steve albini being essentially my standard for the kind of person i want to be in a scene/community. heres a little something from a reddit ama he did ages ago

Connections don't mean shit. I've never had any connections that weren't a natural outgrowth of doing things I was doing anyway. Additionally, the people you might make connections with who work in the industry and value connections themselves, all those people are clueless assholes with no clout anyhow. You can tell because they think they can get somewhere with connections and spend their energy trying to make connections rather than being good at things, and being good at things is the only thing that earns you clout or connections.

It's a myth that you can get anywhere in music through connections. The guy on the other end of the connection has to be into what you're doing, and if you're doing it publicly and he's receptive, he probably hears about it on his own.

Don't worry about anything but making music you like. Everything else is bullshit.

Loft (2005)

Pretty good start, but wound up kind of incoherent by the end. Multiple good creepy elements abandoned part way through. Maybe the translation we saw was bad, but I lost the thread during the long conclusion. Unfortunately one of Kurosawa’s worst imo.
