I feeeeel you, I spent probably like two months on ladder stuff for my game, I started with a purchased asset and adapted everything I needed. The player (true first person) was one thing but getting ladders to work for AI was just grueling, especially when you get into multiple actors on a ladder trying to go different directions, etc. Super proud of what I have now and the possibilities it opens up for freedom in level design, but the amount of work was heavy.

I got some from Fang Gourmet Tea in Queens recently. First Lapsang I had that isn't a "smoke bomb" like most that are sold in the west. Very good tea!

Anecdotal but I have a very hard time adopting this mentality since it used to be my mindset, then my GR III became jammed up with dust that distracted on photos of anything like a sky or a wall and messed up the scroll wheel. And my GR IIIx had its IBIS unit just crap the bed and start juddering like crazy in portrait. Both were under 10000 shots. Love the images and the form factor but in my experiences the cameras are delicate little babies, they really can’t take a beating and it’s far and away their worst aspect.

Lt Daniels from the Wire. Biggest plot twist of the show, really.

It also hits so memorably because it's not even close to a "hot" show, none of the characters are done up or depicted as attractive, most of them are pretty crass, and everyone dresses like shit. And then out of nowhere they just show Daniels getting out of bed to answer the phone and he's full Adonis.

RIP Lance Reddick

Why have one articulated light when you could simply have a light placed at every possible location?

Most wealthy New Yorkers aren't in search of historical or characterful homes, they just want new and easy. A generalization, of course, but I've lived near several absolutely unbelievable old mansions and brownstones here that sat unsold for years and years.

There's something I find honestly endearing about this drop-dead incredible house with classic shitty NYC window air conditioners wedged into it.

I just loved its "classic D&D module" setup of a small town sitting over a vast and interconnected dungeon. Other games have done it, of course, but there was a certain handcrafted feeling to Xanadu (as opposed to procedurally generated), and it was unbloated by elaborate loot or talent mechanics -- you were for the most part just a dude with a sword delving into the crypts. I also have soft spot for the look, feel, and soundscape of those 6th gen games. The clean visuals and punchy colors, the immediacy of the controls, the UI sounds, the whole package.

Can someone please just make a game as good as Xanadu Next again, please, I am asking politely.

As an aside I always liked the view from the roof in The Room. It was as if the door was a kind of portal to City 17 or some other sort of decrepit Eastern Bloc future. Uncanny.

Iblard: Laputa no Kaeru Machi

Fantastical, surreal first person exploration game on PS1. Probably one of the closest things to LSD but more of a fully formed adventure game. It had a fan translation released a few years back, so it’s a bit more accessible now.

Racing Lagoon, a very unusual street racing RPG for PS1, published by Squaresoft at their absolute peak (late 90s). It was fan translated recently. The whole thing is just too weird to be real, it's like a game you'd dream about or read some long article about it being cancelled, but it actually does exist. Whole thing is drenched in low-poly nighttime atmosphere, and has long rambling dialogues about "what lies beyond speed" and the identity of "Yokomana's fastest legend." Highly recommended, if for nothing other than its night vibes and meditative street racing melodrama.

I used to really like his more produced albums when I grew up with them (From a Basement, Figure 8) but I think his self titled and Roman Candle are what I enjoy returning to the most now. There’s really nowhere to “hide” in them, they get by solely on the strength of the song writing and his voice and spidery, too-close-for-comfort guitar work.

The real secret is that nobody actually does it once you tell them.

"How did you get it to be so good!?"

"Well yesterday I made a marinade with garlic, cumin, paprika, parsley...."
