A slapdash attempt at the slipshod. I am writing about every episode of The Simpsons. I have played every DOS game. Read here: https://keepetclassy.com/authors/gabriel Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepetClassy/streams

Thinking about the thing people were posting about 'worst game youve rolled credits on' and listing mediocre mid 2000s games, while I look at stuff like Final Fight ZX spectrum and Renegade 3 on the Amstrad CPC and not even sure I can call them my worst. People really got it better than they think.

Today I lost someone who was truly like a brother to me. I am gutted to the core. I guess I can say so now that it's on his Facebook page. He even listed himself as my actual brother on Facebook. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were. RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.

Love that Mortal Kombat Pride tweet where they post the three canonically queer Mortal Kombat characters and it’s like:

Tanya labeled “murderous traitor,” Mileena labeled “traitorous murderer,” and Kung Jin labeled “Andrew (you know, Tucker's brother?)”

I was married but I’m not married any more. Women don’t like the vehicle.

Flashback to when I was browsing wigs for sale at Ricky's and Tina Armstrong was on the packaging.

"Women don't like the vehicle" is bouncing around my brain and making me laugh every time it hits a wrinkle.

Quantic Dream announces they are developing a competitive multiplayer game

Star Wars: Eclipse development still continues

blog.quanticdream.com/writing-a-ne...

For over 28 years, Quantic Dream has been pushing the boundaries of interactive storytelling. With award-winning titles like Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human, more than 25 million players worldwide have shared the journeys of Ethan Mars, Jodie Holmes, Kara, Markus and Connor, with us.

Since 2018, we have entered a new phase of growth and innovation. We doubled the size of the team, bringing together talents from all over the world united by the same passion for creativity. We opened a new studio in Montreal, moved into new headquarters in Paris, built the next generation of our proprietary technology, and became our own publisher.

After years as a single-project studio, we also decided to take a new step. Multiple teams are fully dedicated to crafting the next generation of great games, including something very different, a competitive multiplayer experience, born from the same spirit of curiosity and creativity that has always defined us.

This new title may surprise our fans as it is very different from what we have done so far. But taking risks, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of playing and telling stories, and attempting what seems impossible, has always been part of our DNA.

We also know how demanding it is to create something new. Earning the trust of players, standing out in such a competitive space, and introducing fresh concepts is incredibly challenging. And since we have no legacy in this genre, we know we have everything to prove — which is why your support and feedback will be essential. Together, we believe we can create something truly unique.

Of course, development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues, and we are eager to share more with you in the future.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all our fans around the world for playing our games year after year, for their kind words whenever we meet, for their patience and encouragement.

Let's meet my friend Tanystropheus, a archosauromorph reptile from the Triassic.

You may notice that Tany is looooooooong, with some specimens being 6 m (20 ft) long, while only weighing 30-70 kg (65-150 lbs).

Which led me to an interesting question:
How do LONG-NECKERS like Tany BREATHE?

A silhouette outline of a human in black with three putative species of Tanystropheus shown in shades of purple. They're VERY long-necked lizards with small feet/hands, and moderate tails.

"Size comparison of large specimens of three species of Tanystropheus (T. 'conspicuus' , T. hydroides, T. longobardicus) with a human for reference. References Tanystropheus 'conspicuus' (U-MO BT 732, 733, 734, 736, 737, 738, 739, 740) "A taxonomic revision of the genus Tanystropheus (Archosauromorpha, Tanystropheidae)" Tanystropheus hydroides (PIMUZ T 2793) "Aquatic Habits and Niche Partitioning in the Extraordinarily Long-Necked Triassic Reptile Tanystropheus" "The cranial morphology of Tanystropheus hydroides (Tanystropheidae, Archosauromorpha) as revealed by synchrotron microtomography" Die Triasfauna der Tessiner Kalkalpen XXII.
