Someone took that clip of him from C&C and (in this instance) put someone else’s face on him through deepfake. Here’s the original.

Valid arguments. It’s a fun romp. I don’t know how much believability was an objective as much as fantastical entertainment. I agree about the ages, though. Seems like they needed 5+ years of experience, but it didn’t ruin the book for me.

There’s a Goose and a Geese band…?

I could really see how much they miss it. They miss Neil, of course, but I think most Rush fans would agree that Neil would want them to keep having fun playing their music! And I like that Anika is just drumming for them, not necessarily joining the band. What a rare and amazing opportunity for her!

My favorite was Abe Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris. “I wear a black belt on the beard that I grow on my dick!” has somehow stick with me for years. What a brilliantly ridiculous line.

I miss this time of the Internet/life.

Yes. It’s called this is an AI image.

“The Blade Itself” by Joe Abercrombie. It may have been a little overhyped, but I’m enjoying it so far.

looks like a combination of when people mod the shit out of Minecraft and when people mod the shit out of Skyrim. I’m here for it!

Fuck Konami for what they did to Kojima! As much as I loved MGS3, I will be skipping this.

Wow. Really cool mash-up of aesthetics. I love it. Hopefully the game is good!

Thanks!

tl;dw please?

Why? Like, seriously… Why?

The end of God of War (2018).

You “invest” in the politicians so they carve out exceptions for you when they draft the budget! Duh!

The headline makes it sound like it’s whitewashing or romanticizing Booth, but the sense I got from the article was that it’s highlighting the parallels between Confederacy extremists and the extremists of today. And he wants to dispel two myths about Booth: he was neither a “genius” actor nor a deranged loser.

That sucks! Those are two amazing games. Sorry to hear that the co-founders are feuding…

“You Only Live Once”

“6:00” by Dream Theater. It begins with a sick drum fill that pans across stereo speakers and then builds up with drums, then keyboards, then guitar/bass. It sounds fantastic cranked up on a good set of speakers!

Aw, thanks dude! It’ll be a while for me. I’m still only about 80% through my first draft, and I know I’m in for some extensive rewrites and edits in the coming months/years. But I’ll share it when I’m finished!
