Just in time for #caturday, I noticed something very interesting on this ancient Greek pelike (jar) featuring Poseidon and Amymone. A very rare representation of a cat. It doesn't seem to be very impressed by the presence of the gods. Perhaps this is a scene from a play ... 🏺 1/

#MetMuseum 📸 me
On this red-figure pelike - a squat jar with two handles under a broad rolled lip - we see Amymone standing on the left, her hand on winged Eros' head. Poseidon - who has rescued her from a satyr - sits on an unseen chair or rock, seemingly inspecting the tines on his golden yellow trident. A cat sits under the god of the sea, looking out at us, the viewers. Greek, South Italian, Apulian, ca. 360-340 BCE. Attributed to the Dechter Painter. Met Museum, New York (1984.323.3) Closeup of the cat, not drawn particularly well, but the attitude is all there, as if to say, 'Can you believe all this drama?'

Happy Valentine's Day to me and all the other singles out there! I'm lying on the couch, eating bonbons and watching Hamnet. Can't think of a better way to spend the day

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered
The way Ms. Hart sees it, romance writers must either embrace artificial intelligence, or get left behind. "If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who's going to win the race?" she said.

My first and only creative dispute on Death of the Outsider came when I pushed for a moment of ma after Billie kills The Outsider. I thought it was important that she (and players) had a few beats to process what they'd done and how they felt about it

My piping hot take on PLURIBUS is that it’s one of the most Ghibli-esque shows on TV today, and people who think its pacing is too slow ought to really sit with and examine why they feel that slow pace = bad.

Its first season has several minutes worth of “mā”, and is much stronger for it, IMO
SCREENCRAFT WHAT IS "MA"? In an interview with film critic Roger Ebert from 2002, Ebert tells Miyazaki he appreciates what he calls "gratuitous motion" in his films, adding that, "Instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are," said Ebert. Miyazaki answered with, "We have a word for that in Japanese," he said. "It's called Ma. Emptiness. It's there intentionally."

Finished reading The Game Writing Guide by @annamegill.com. Fantastic advice + insights here that I think is genuinely helpful for finding work in game dev!

If you're not in the writing niche within games, I still think there's value in this book wrt interviews, portfolios, career development, etc.
