From the article

How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?

People occasionally just flip Imel off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb.
It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is.

David Cage games stink in all the ways people say they do, but man do I love playing through them. I wish more people were making narrative choice games with a budget. Because I even love the bad ones.

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.

But, it tries to have a grounded explanation for how these time loop shenanigans are technically possible and that always feels like a bad idea. No ending could be satisfying and the one presented here is profoundly stupid and fails with even a second of thought.

Finally finished The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. 2/5 stars. Interesting central murder mystery undone by trying to explain its actual groundhog day premise. And I love the premise (guy has to solve a murder and every day wakes up inhabiting a different body of someone related to the crime)

People love freaking out about dumb rebrandings and then forgetting about it immediately. Imagining this news being the worst part of my day

It’s still wild to me how pervasive the let’s go Brandon stuff is. Is it the most famous NASCAR related event since Dale died?

Someone purposefully sabotaged the internet in my county, in a day my son has called “the worst day ever”

Brian @bearpawb.bsky.social · 4d

It’s the best game but it’s not my favorite. And it killed the things about the game I liked like crash mode. I still think in many ways it’s probably “the best” though. And I get why people love it

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 4d

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

I expected young people to be good with computers, and as someone who teaches a lot of freshmen, they are soooooo bad. Tech has gotten so easy none of them have any idea how it works

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
