OK, let’s turn this around: voice actors, what’s a better question you’d like to be asked? Mine is: how do you reconcile needing to make specific acting choices in an interactive story?
Sally Beaumont |BAFTA Breakthrough|Voice Actor & Writer@sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 8h agoI’m not really sure how many more times I can answer questions about what voice acting brings to games. The first VA for games was 1980. No other actors are asked to justify themselves like this.

That day when Tom was staring at Jim’s forehead and planning the gag. 😁
James_Hollaman@jameshollaman.bsky.social · yesterdayTom Savini chose his friend Jim Krut to play the helicopter zombie in Dawn of the Dead (1978) because he was notorious for having a low forehead. #TheGoreYouKnow #MutantFam @themutantfam.bsky.social
During the Vietnam War, Krut served his country as an Army combat medic, while his friend Tom Savini served concurrently as a combat photographer. #TheGoreYouKnow #MutantFam @themutantfam.bsky.social
Jim Krut actually met director George A. Romero the first time, the day he arrived on set to film the airport scene in Dawn of the Dead (1978). #TheGoreYouKnow #MutantFam @themutantfam.bsky.social
Anything lower than DHS / CBP / ICE? These people are as despicable as criminals yet infinitely more cowardly as individuals, giving up their will and brain to “authority”, depending on others to protect them, and hiding behind badges. There’s nothing lower than ICE. Defund, delegislate, punish.
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 17h agoJudge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
When Google's users searched for airlines' toll-free phone numbers, Google directed them to phones that rang in the scammers' boiler room, where they were tricked into giving up their passport info and credit card numbers to boiler-room thieves: www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... 20/

A Google spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company does "not tolerate this misleading activity" and that it had fixed the issue.

Watch the marvelous @katiephang.bsky.social on YouTube. Brave, delightful and instructive. (She explained this particular part of the so-called president’s shabby criminal actions and many others.) She loves footnotes more than William James.

Poster and trailer (www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbmA...) for The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn (Doctor Frankenstein), a major re‑release of the 2008 film.
This sucks. Feels so long ago since I reviewed THE VAST OF NIGHT for its release. An underappreciated gem.
Mitchell Beaupre@mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social · 15h agoWent to go rewatch The Vast of Night, only to discover that they took it off Amazon Prime… the service that released it exclusively. So now it’s literally just not available anywhere. Good times.
Throwing stars. Way better. They used to be made of ceramic. Okay I might be thinking of Christmas ornaments.

@crawlieswithcri.bsky.social @watchinthesky.bsky.social Fence lizards rule. We also had a legless lizard and a skink. And the gopher snakes of course. A rattlesnake long ago in the pumpkins. And horned lizards but not in the yard only the hills. But who knows? They are hard to detect.
scenarist / Chris@scenarist.bsky.social · 19h agoYou must mix fun into the stress so one question I’m asking myself this week is how to make the front patio a built utopia for my lizard pals without also having spaces for gopher snakes ad rattlesnakes to hide and scare me. I think one answer is the exact dimensions of the crevices you create.
Squeee! Tiniest lizard I’ve seen in a long time. This little Western fence lizard is barely an inch and a half long including tail. That sheet of plastic it is on is 1/4 inch thick for scale. #herps 🦎

It was a very intense and VERY infuriating movie at every single turn. It was well done. And yeah I thought the Croc looked great overall. #FrightClub #ThePool
