First time playing Halo 2 for real and it sure is full of beautiful vistas and interesting setpieces! The action is punchy as ever, though at times I wish I was able to dash. That’s a zoomer in me talking. Don’t care much for the Bush-era pro-militarist attitude, but the allegories are inescapable
I keep thinking about "3D impressionism" as a much needed term for the way we think about art direction in games To me measuring how "better" or "worse" the graphics are only in terms of their relation to reality is like claiming the photo of a street in Arles is objectively superior to Van Gogh

Andrew did an amazing job, covering not just the history of Namco compilations, but the history of their classics in general! For someone who had only surface level familiarity with their catalogue (I knew Pac-Man and Battle City!) - it was a great watch!

2 evenings watching Sleuth - both the 1972 original and 2007 remake by Kenneth Branagh. Fascinating movies in terms of how differently they approach the topics of class inequality, sexuality, relationships, play. Both flamboyant in their own way, full of great camerawork and production design.
Renaissance masters have nothing on me (and my photoshop skills).
Remakes are supposed to be made for free by passionate sickos with scope management issues
I remember chatting with a younger guy, who was into Apex. He asked: - So what‘s your favorite multiplayer game? - I don’t play much online, but if I were to pick an all-timer - that would be Quake 3. - What’s that? - Wha- uhm, Quake 3 Arena? - Never heard of it (googles) oh, it’s an old one!
Felipe Pepe@felipepepe.bsky.social · last wk.I'm very grateful to have a social circle of all ages, interests & walks of life, so I did not become a reply guy on bluesky shouting that Dune II is a very well-known game in 2026.

This little project that was supposed to be out in a year is out now, 6 years later. It took a while but it’s great. It’s a whole new full length campaign for Quake with 32 maps and a completely new soundtrack, aimed at being compatible with winquake. I made a few maps for it. youtu.be/ViJMgLNLW08

The irony of NFS: Most Wanted (2005, PS2) is having to drive around the most idyllic gingerbread-like facsimile of a Pacific Northwest town… while listening to the harshest breakbeat-nu-metal-rap OST imaginable It’s so cute
