went down a rabbit hole earlier and learned that in 1995 CBS had two animated shows based on jim carrey movies. and they did a crossover between them where they do not adapt to the other's animation style whatsoever. what was in the water back then

shot from "The Aceman Cometh" episode of The Mask: Animated Series. Ace Ventura and The Mask are both pointing with their right hand, with the other on their hip. I guess they're dancing? I'm not going to watch the show to find out

Cognitive Distortions 1. All-or-Nothing Thinking: It's not true that the only kind of Jest is the Infinite kind 2. Disqualifying the Positive: I can't ignore every time the Jest has been finite in the past 3. Mental Filtering: I shouldn't discount all the possible benefits of an Infinite Jest

A copy of David Burns's "Feeling Good" CBT workbook that in my opinion resembles an Infinite Jest paperback

ICYMI: I made a video about Deltarune and metamodernism! it took about a year of work, on and off, so be sure to check it out. and thank you to everyone who has seen it and sent over kind words so far :)

new Deltarune video! it's about metamodernism, and the way oscillation runs through the whole game. that sounds like nonsense probably, but it'll make sense when you watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXdn...

Generally I’m not very active on Bluesky, but this was such an incredible watch I have to recommend to all… um… wait let me see… 36 of my followers! Expressed a lot of the stuff I think Deltarune does well thematically- and way smarter than I ever could!

I'm really impressed, I agree perfectly with this ranking. I've been hating on tuesday for *years* and it always feels like I have to pitch to people why it's the worst day of the week. glad to know I'm not the only one. fuck tuesday.

hung out with @zackzwiezen.com over the weekend and was made aware that last year he ranked the *days of the week* and it's somehow the most correct ranked list of anything i've ever seen in my life: kotaku.com/days-of-the-...

I don't usually like to be a live action adaptation hater, I feel like there's often a lot of interesting possibilities to explore creatively when switching from animation to live action so having said that, believe me when I say adapting champloo is a bad idea and will inevitably suck shit

Ashley Schofield is looking for work! 🐉@ashlikeadragon.bsky.social · 5mo ago

i'm sure glad the animation wasn't vital to this series' beauty or anything variety.com/2026/tv/news...

fantastic interview, Kimura seems like a fascinating guy. coincidentally just picked up Moon for the first time over the weekend and I'm excited to see the rest of it unfold - I like it a lot so far!

Rebekah Valentine@duckvalentine.bsky.social · 7mo ago

I had the honor of meeting Yoshiro Kimura last year at the Onion Games office in Tokyo, and got to listen to him talk very earnestly about game development and Stray Children and, well, life. www.ign.com/articles/str...

on a first playthrough, dogma into beast is a really powerful progression imo. tboi has always had this push and pull between the high concept struggles isaac faces via his relationship with religion and the more grounded issues with his parents. dogma (religion) and beast (mom). they do complement.

WAYNERADIOTV@wayneradio.tv · 7mo ago

playing a lot of binding of Isaac lately. A take: The Beast fight should be somewhere else in the game, and in its place Dogma should have an additional phase(s). Isaac is a poop n fart game but dogma is the coolest and most genuinely thematically resonant beat in it. it shoulda been the Final boss

it's a great joy when someone articulates something you've thought about but never put into words. I should not have to do legwork to figure out whether your game is a sequel to a game I've never heard of, or just a game with an unnecessarily long title!

Rebekah Valentine@duckvalentine.bsky.social · 8mo ago

this is a mild, unserious take but i think with few exceptions you shouldn't name your very first game in a series [Thing]: [Subtitle]. you should just have to name it [Thing] and then if it does well and you make a second one you can start adding subtitles.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

really happy to have seen the death stranding concert tour tonight - absolutely gorgeous music & very talented performers. it's such a treat to hear music I already loved brought to life like this.

halloween might be over, but you should still take Joseph Fink's advice and watch One Cut of the Dead. one of my favorite movies which I can never talk about because you *must* watch it blind. I see you going to Wikipedia, quit it! just watch the movie!

Joseph Fink, we're going to win@planetoffinks.bsky.social · 9mo ago

We watched One Cut of the Dead tonight (second time for me, first for Meg). Tough movie to introduce to people because the first 30 minutes are not great and you have to be like "this gets really really good and I can't tell you how or why, but sitting through this opening bit is part of it"

just beat @qdork.bsky.social's Consume Me. I really loved it! there aren't enough games out there which feel so earnest to their creators' experience. this one is special. plus, I mean come on, it has a really good dog, who deserves that cookie. highly recommend checking it out (and feeding the dog)
