The voice of Biddy Blas





















(My experiment with Amazon Luna was that it ran pretty well, except for one occasional stutter that caused a carcrash, and since story mode is so unforgiving...)

$400, doesn't include the game. If you like the gator, there's already at least two downloadable files for cheap.

Matt Berry plays a Ikea shelf companion in the new promotional mod for Skyrim

Ikea:
IKEA, as the bastions of storage and organisation, are bringing their wisdom to Skyrim.


Introducing KALLAX STORAGEBORN. A new companion, voiced by Matt Berry, built to send clutter back to the fires of Oblivion!


When you inevitably become encumbered, you shall be sent to a long abandoned Dwemer emporium. There, you will embark on a quest to unravel the origins of a mysterious master. As you progress the Dragonborn will be pitted against Tamriel's ultimate adversary - clutter!


During your adventure, build your very own KALLAX STORAGEBORN. With unfathomable storage capacity, the ability to collect loot, tidy up your homestead and be summoned with a new Thu’um, even when not a companion, KALLAX will change your clutter management forever.


Fill KALLAX with new loot like the mighty Allenblade and Meatball Helmet. Using them in combat to strike down new fiercely filthy foes.


Then take KALLAX anywhere. Defeat Alduin, become Arch-Mage, hail Sithis, crush the Stormcloaks or the Imperials, or just beat up mudcrabs. All without the shackles of encumbrance.


Install KALLAX STORAGEBORN and end your inventory woes forevermore.

Fun, long article about creating the podracing game Episode 1: Racer

Lengthy article by Jack Yarwood:
At the time development of the game started for the N64 and Windows computers, the filmmakers had yet to decide on many of the vehicles' intricacies. This meant the team often had to interpret how they thought the pods moved and functioned before running it by the filmmakers.
...
we had to finish it first, right? The game had to be completed two or three months before the movie
...
We were trying to figure out whether it's the engines that are making the pod swing around, or if the pod is steering the engines around. Eric, you want to describe your experience rollerblading with your dogs? 
...
 I had two big Labradors that had chest harnesses and a leash made of climbing rope, and I had a skateboard. And

The Marathon Vandal Shell Cinematic is great (and so is the official and unofficial Marathon art)







There's a huge, spectacular gallery of Marathon art by the game's concept artists and designers. 

And here's a bit more that's not at Artstation:

Good account dedicated to vintage video game graphics

Great graphics on GBC. The water reflection and animations are impressive Alice in Wonderland (Game Boy Color, Digital Eclipse, 2000)

Andy Weir got fired from Blizzard

This past weekend, the new movie Project Hail Mary was a smash hit, bringing in nearly $141 million at the box office. But many years ago, before he was writing novels adapted into mega-hit films, Andy Weir was fired from his dream job... at Blizzard Entertainment. Excerpt from my latest book:

Video game publisher says TikTok Is using GenAI to create misleading and sexualized ads for its games without permission

IGN:

The AI-"enhanced" versions, which appear on TikTok as if posted directly from the official Finji account

...

The offending image depicts an edited version of the official cover art, the original version of which is pictured above. In the seemingly AI-edited version, the main character June (center in the image above) is depicted alone, but the image extends down to her ankles. She is depicted with a bikini bottom, impossibly large hips and thighs, and boots that rise up over her knees

...

Finji also says it is unable to view or edit the AI-generated versions of its own ads, and is only aware of them via numerous comments on the ads as well as users in its official Discord reporting the problem and sharing screenshots

...

Since this incident took place, Finji staff have made efforts to follow up and get answers, only to be shut down by TikTok support repeatedly

Here's what TikTok has been doing to our work & art without our consent.

Posting this here for reasons 😒 If you happen to see any Finji ads that look distinctly UN-Finji-like, send me a screencap. If you are someone who writes intelligently about something like "massive company running ai versions of paid ads without small company's consent" idk, maybe reach out.
