I like to think of myself as a writer.

The end

Three years ago I started Other Places, my series of short films celebrating the artistry of videogame worlds.

Since then it’s been screened at film festivals, the subject of academic papers, featured on BBC News, written about in Vice, The Independent, Wired, and others, and exhibited at the German Film Museum.

Oh, and it won a Games Media Award too. And I’ve been interviewed about it twice on German radio for some reason.

But after 71 videos, 1.5 million YouTube views, and countless hours spent recording and editing footage, it’s time to call it a day.

Honestly, the passion is gone. Which is a natural part of any creative endeavour. I feel like I’ve achieved everything I wanted to with the series, and I don’t think I should keep making it—and taking people’s money—if my heart’s not in it. So it’s time to try something new.

Thanks to everyone who’s ever watched Other Places, tweeted about it, written about it, or supported it on Patreon.

And a special thanks to the incredible artists who created these amazing virtual worlds in the first place.

Cheers!

Andy

do you think the Suicide Squad producers had a punishment system where it was like Jared the more weird ass shit you do the more we’re deducting from your screentime n that’s why he ended up on screen for like a total of 8 minutes

“Previously, researchers had misidentified skeletons as male simply because they were buried with their swords and shields. By studying osteological signs of gender within the bones themselves, researchers discovered that approximately half of the remains were actually female warriors, given a proper burial with their weapons.”

[pinkcheesegreenghost-deactivate]

how many other ‘discoveries’ were prevented from happening because men applied current ‘gender norms’ to past cultures?!

[feminismandhappiness]

remember this when somebody tries to convince you that gender roles are natural, that we ‘evolved’ this way, that men and women are made for different functions, that males were hunters, female were gatherers and child rearers and so on, remember that speculations about the distant past people’s behaviours and culture more often than not follows cultural biases and even agendas…

when you think about it the big bang theory is basically a live action sitcom equivalent of ctrl+alt+del. they both feature unrealistic cartoonish archetypal nerd characters, they both have the same repetitive overly verbose joke delivery, and they both have the same style of weird anti-humor

Garbage Games Rhetoric Bingo

As in, rhetoric about games that is garbage, not rhetoric about garbage games. (But possibly also that.)

Obviously inspired (and based off of with permission from the lovely Ozzie) by @bikiniarmorbattledamage​, here is a bingo of terrible arguments against social justice style critiques of video games. I am clearly not an artist; if you want to pretty this up, go ahead, that would be super cool.

You can use this to your heart’s content for dealing with inane arguments.

Below the cut, a breakdown of the squares and why they’re wrong.

im laughing so hard because people who already saw suicide squad are saying that jared Leto as the joker only got like 20 minutes of screen time out of the entire 130 minute film like oh my god he spent more than a year doing the creepiest possible shit, alienating his AAA movie castmates, turning himself into a laughingstock to hollywood, saying shit like “theyre gonna lock me up for this performance… ooo… they gotta throw me in prison for this”, and basically making himself too much of an edgelord for even most scene kids to come near and they fucking gave him only 20 minutes of screentime and took him out of most of the promotional material this is all just so funny

Ren’Py update introduces new standard GUI and more...

Ren'Py ships with a new default GUI. This system, used in-game to customize the main menu, game menu, and in-game screens, replaces the old themes and screens.rpy system with a new system that’s intended to be an improvement for every creator:

For new creators, the new GUI is intended to look attractive (if generic) out of the box. It is adaptable to a choice of sizes, and supports games with light and dark backgrounds.

Intermediate creators will be able to more easily customize the new GUI, without having to to work with screens and styles directly. It’s now possible to completely re-theme the GUI by changing variables in the gui namespace, and editing template images.

Advanced creators will be able to replace the new gui entirely, either piece by piece or wholesale. The new gui infrastructure resets all styles to sensible defaults, making it easier to apply customization.

Excellent new GUI updates! These features should be in the next release of Ren'Py.

I’ll just sit here and patiently wait for the new release.
