totally agree!

All You Need Is Kill is a great premise written from an edgelord POV. Edge of Tomorrow is a great movie that buffs off some of the ugliness, but also its edge. This porridge looks just right.

Endless Mode @endlessmode.bsky.social · 1h

All You Need Is Kill is getting another film adaptation, this time without Tom Cruise and with 100% more anime. However, based on its new trailer, it looks like this latest take will also significantly diverge from the source material.

I'm still on the look out for any writing opportunities!

Or on camera opportunities.

Or podcasting opportunities.

Or like... an errant five dollars on the side of street...

Now I am back from Japan I wanted to do a proper *I'M LOOKING FOR WORK* post.

If you have a beat on any opportunities, please let me know.

It was an honor to be interviewed by the brilliant @simonparkin.bsky.social on one of my favorite podcasts.

(and just ignore my opinion on Goldeneye, my equivalent of a a negative Steam review that opens with “8,000 hours played”)

My Perfect Console podcast @myperfectconsole.bsky.social · 11h

Can you guess what game @Plante.bsky.social is talking about? Let us know in the comments.

In the latest episode, @SimonParkin.bsky.social is joined by the veteran journalist and co-founder of Polygon who recently launched the Post Games podcast.

The not-so-secret to a game's success:

"You really have to create a product for someone that gives them value, that makes them feel like [...] "I'm not gonna be able to get this on Roblox." [...] And that is really the only way that people can stand out."

convinced this movie is about two things:

infertility impeding you from having a child of your own

entering your 70s and realizing the only place you're welcome is outside the lights of the carnival of life, so hold on tight to whoever is there with you and accept being overlooked

Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"

DIY is imperfect. Resources are incredible. I’ve done this both ways and I know how much better things would be with resources. But life post-salary requires a DIY/zine mentality, which is inherently elastic and pluralistic and requires more than any boss should ask of you. You have to want that.
