Problem Machine

The Life of David Gale. Absolute dogshit film.

And even if you make an instrument with a slow attack and no release time, you usually still write so the instrument starts on the beat rather than ending on it. It's tough to intentionally do it the other way

I'm not a big shmup guy but I thought Einhander was great. I haven't revisited it to see how it holds up but Gunhed/Blazing Lazers seemed great to me in the 90s. Also Raptor and Tyrian are kind of weird PC offshoots but have some neat stuff.

Last I saw he was talking about how we have a moral obligation to kill all Nazis on Mastodon so he's good in my book.

I've been really liking Lies of P but this is a truly egregious piece of level design. The platform the red arrow is pointing to has a kill volume attached, causing instant death. This is made worse by the lit spot circled in green suggesting I should be trying to get there.

I know which fight it is from that description, so it checks out.

This drove me CRAZY at the time and I still harbor some resentment towards 3d platformers as a genre because of it

I think it's probably a good approach for a lot of devs but I feel like if I'm not doing something at least a little idiotically ambitious then what am I even doing here?

With advances in evolutionary algorithms butterfly technology will soon be so advanced that they can perfectly reproduce an owl. Owls will be completely obsolete.

Really? My read was I assumed Jupe was absolutely about to get his ass beaten by a chimpanzee, and because he never found out after fucking around he believed he had some kind of rapport with Jean Jacket that wasn't there. I haven't seen it since it came out though.

I think also a story about the human tendency to anthropomorphize the unknown and try to fit it into an appealing narrative, and how dangerous that behavior can be
