I have fully caught up on my family’s laundry for the first time in weeks - months? - and it feels so goddamn good.
The kid’s hamper is empty, our hampers are empty… it won’t last even six hours but my god for those six hours~!

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

what a wonderful thread of talented, hilarious, ladies from the silent era of hollywood --
Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

I *adore* DEVICE 6. Played it when it first came out and every time I play it I love it more. It's clever. It's gorgeous. It's stylish. It's funny. Especially if you liked LORELEI AND THE LASER EYES it feels very of a piece.

The original Beyond Good & Evil is a game that holds such a deep, important place in my heart that I both rabidly want a sequel, but also just want Ubi to finally put it in the ground and let it die with dignity instead of... whatever this is.

Okay, it's been a week since release. Reception has been AWESOME, much much more than I expected for such a niche thing! Thank you! ❤️ A few thoughts (thread).

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Re: Last repost - Steve Wozniak is everything that the billionaires of Silicon Valley pretend to be: He's a genius, an inventor, and he's made a profound impact on history that will be remembered beyond his lifetime. Above all else: He seems to be a happy, decent person. Really warms the heart.

We’re having our first watch of “White Christmas” (1954) of the season and I always forget the unbelievable strangeness of “The Minstrel Number.”
