David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

For those unaware, this might be one of Nightdive's weirdest remasters. They took the PC and N64 versions of Forsaken - basically two different games with completely different levels - and stapled them together into a frakensteined hybrid.

It works surprisingly well.

Forsaken Remastered (Steam) is $2.99 on Humble buff.ly/6Aiq9AE #ad

There's quite a lot of different things to do in Tenjutsu:
- Open stalls to buy delicious onigiri in Tako Food Co districts,
- Unlock hidden key safes in Iron Syndicate controlled areas,
- Re-open and plunder Neon Dragons jewelries, and pretend that all the shiny things were yours from the beginning

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Damn I was a day late to guessing when the "Team Cherry is Evil" part of the Discourse was gonna happen, my bad I'm getting too old to keep up with the trends

Kinix @kinix17.bsky.social · Sep 6

Have we entered the "Team Cherry is Evil actually" part of a game becoming popular yet or am I too far ahead of pace?

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Okay, yeah, Void/Breaker is big dumb fun. Completely over-the-top roguelike FPS where you heal by dropping fully destructible buildings on enemies and creating silly chains of mods.

Assault rifle that fires splintering bursts of building-destroying mini-grenades? That's downright mild. Very pretty.
