Modern SNK is the perfect illustration of top-level corporate stupidity ruining all it touches. The people steering the ship are completely divorced from what longtime fans, the market, and (likely) their own employees want

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

Unpopular motivation hack for drawing:
Start drawing immediately, even if it feels impossible.
After 15 minutes, your brain will recognize the difficult task and create dopamine to help you keep going.
Agonizing endlessly before the drawing doesn't help your creative process.

"Dev supporting devs" remains one of my favorite things to hear, especially now that many publishers are increasingly risk-averse, coming in late enough in the process for large enough revenue demands to be borderline useless.
Kinetic Games, the developer behind Phasmophobia, has announced the launch of Kinetic Publishing to "support and champion creativity within the indie space". The publisher will fund two to three indie projects a year up to budgets of £1 million.

I was watching someone play Concord last night,
cracked and patched with only one other player online.
Their 1v1's echoing in cold hallways of once-crowded hot maps.
After the duels, he opened a huge galactic table of narrative lore.
Nodes and codes and roads, reaching far out into space.

During lockdown some friends and I watched the dub for the original Sakura Wars and we had a running gag pointing out all the ways they pronounce Sumire's name, usually wrong. We had a great time watching the whole show. For the finale - I put together a compilation of them saying her name.

This is a complete misunderstanding of what I said, which is that I wouldn't be shocked if GTA6 *does* come out this fall, following the same delay pattern as RDR2.
Of course another delay is possible. It's a video game. But this blog post is very misleading (just reach out to me - it's not hard!)
