Past few weeks I've began actively trying to combat slop social media feeds. I've noticed:
-Following tab is way more peaceful than For You
-Instagram is purely Ads these days
-Youtube algo is screwed
-Most news is news not worth knowing
-Anger is the driving force of engagement
-Following tab is way more peaceful than For You

One thing I wish Mario Kart would do is what Crash Nitro Fueled did in regards to stats.
Make the character + kart purely cosmetic, then the player picks whatever optimal "engine". Every race being filled with 20 baby bloopers is dull.

Started tinkering with a few synths to make menu SFX and I'm convinced Sound people are wizards.
"Yeah just set the wibbly wobbly line and turn up the skidoodle modulator with a dash of reverb and boom its the cancel sound from Silent Hill 2"

Areas such as City 17, Ravenholm and Highway 17 are shining examples of "show don't tell". His work was excellent.
Very sad news.

According to a recent social media post by Marc Laidlaw, Viktor Antonov - Half-Life 2's visionary art director - has passed away.
Assuming this is true, we are extremely saddened to hear this news.
