Having now read Jonathan Entwhistle's Power Rangers concept, I do think the armors are neat. The problem is that he wanted to center the world's mythology around Tommy. Hasbro, please get this through your heads: They're a team. None of them are the most important.

The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions popularized by French writer Marcel Proust. Victorians answered these questions in parlor games, and modern interviewers now often use them. They can also be a great character development tool!

Encountering Metric's original version of "Black Sheep" in the wild is always a treat. Shout-out to my local pizza place. Also, following it up with "Soul Meets Body" was absolutely the right move.
Agreed. Sadly, major console developers are on some scummy corpo bullshit right now, so we probably shouldn't hold our breath.

www.pcgamesn.com/control-reso... They'd better fucking not. Remedy is one of the few AAA studios to remain AI-free. And The Lake House DLC made it fairly clear what Sam Lake thinks of it.
Remedy's Control Resonant "does not use generative AI content at all," but the studio isn't ruling it out for the future
New Remedy game Control Resonant does not include any gen-AI content, but its interim CEO admits there's "varied interest" at the developer.

For starters, I'd buy a house. Then I'd get some nice decorations. I'd also find some worthy charities and deserving artists to contribute to.

I'm not sure how hot a take this is, but I think Power Rangers: Dino Fury is mostly fine. My biggest issue with it is that it's a symptom of the larger problem that is the franchise clinging to the Mighty Morphin' era. This is the third show to reuse the dinosaur concept.
One of my favorite feelings is looking over my work while editing and realizing "Oh, that's what this is missing!" GenAI could never! #NoAI

One the benefits of replaying the entire RCU in preparation for #ControlResonant is noticing the little callbacks, like the evil twin in "Number One Fan" calling the writer a "worthless hack", just like Scratch called Alan in "American Nightmare."
Playing through Rose's terrible self-insert Mary Sue fanfic is still one of the highlights of Alan Wake 2.
Thoughts on Sony and digital gaming: I don't have a problem with buying digital games. I do it all the time. But that should be a choice I get to make.

THURSDAY THRIFTED THERAPY
[Graphic of an old-timey bearded man sitting and leaning his arm against a barrel with a tiny frog crawling up its side]
Prompt:
8 | Answer one (or more) of these “would you rather” questions as your character:
🪦 Would you rather know when or how you’re going to die?
🧠 Would you rather have a perfect memory or be able to forget anything you wanted at will?
⏳ Would you rather time travel to the past or future?
💔 Would you rather never be able to show emotions or never be able to hide them?
[Graphic of talking crow]
“Would you rather” is a classic icebreaker which I doubt requires explanation. Surely you’ve been asked at some point whether you would rather fight 100 duck-sized elephants or one elephant-sized duck? If you chose the latter, you are clearly unacquainted with very many ducks.

Apparently, there have been recent updates on both Uncharted 5 and Happy Death Day To Us. If those are even remotely true, then I have a lot to look forward to in the next few years.
