Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

Love how this write up puts how we (perhaps insanely) mashup roguelite elements with narrative mystery front and centre. It’s a quirky mix that we think works brilliantly! Thanks for the feature, @roguelikerofficial.bsky.social !

Can we as a society be done with Final Fantasy VII at some point? I’m told there are at least several other Final Fantasy games that might also be worth revisiting…

Insanely stupid in retrospect, but Dark Claw and all the Amalgam Universe stuff was the coolest shit when I was 12.

Well, I know who I don't want to work with...

One thing video games have over film is collecting shards. Regardless of how big Christopher Nolan goes with his camera, his movies will never allow us to collect shards.

They Live is a story about a world overtaken by greed and propaganda, where countless people have fallen victim to the idea that one must consume and never question their own consumption and misfortune. It's John Carpenter's most openly political effort. And it's an absolute blast.

Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...

We discovered a new variant of Super Mario Bros.

Inside, were 97 individually wrapped, brand-new copies of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. Each game was wrapped in the same baggie that would have come in an

You either believe in human rights or you don’t. And this issue illuminates your true views on the subject as far as I’m concerned, it’s that simple

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

A Democrat saying "Black people shouldn't have healthcare" or "Jews aren't biological people" or "immigrants shouldn't be allowed to play sports" would be ostracized and condemned from coast to coast, so why should we accept these repulsive beliefs when it comes to trans people?
