Very good stuff too!
Finished @aptshadow.bsky.social's Pretenders to the Throne of God.
My favourite fantasy series by a margin, always creative, moving and full of heart and empathy.
How to classify it? Weird fiction's Andor?
Not sure. But, misery and wickedness, it's damn good.

Just reading @aptshadow.bsky.social’s latest, ‘Pretenders to the Throne of God’, having another ‘fuck me, that’s good’ moment, and thinking this is one of the most consistently excellent series I’ve read in years. So many series start strong, but then peter out, but this one is still roaring! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It started during the pandemic, March 11, 2020. It ended on May 9, 2024. I was already trying to learn Unity, but it was hard to find the spare time – freelance artist life is a twelve-hour, seven-day-a-week endeavour. When the lockdowns came, I tried to treat it like a long residency. At the time, I was working on a game about my job at Best Buy during the 2008 financial crisis. I’m not much of a 3D modeller, so I found someone online who had painstakingly recreated those periodspecific store layouts. I reached out over email in hopes of purchasing the models. “I’m looking to re-create my experience working in retail,” I wrote, “for an art project.” I added, “It was an important time in my life.” Silence. Two weeks later, I emailed him again, under a new email account. “Your assets are stunning,” I wrote, “I would love to use them to virtually showcase my upcoming products in a store context.” “Dear Jordan,” he responded, “this is exactly why I created these assets!!” We were in business.
It, too, is eclipsed by its afterword in the book by @remysiu.com. I am almost embarrassed that he's chosen to trust me with an essential text for understanding 1000xRESIST (and so much more)
Always nice to see good localization win the day :) Congratulations!

Décidément, c'est une bonne journée :)
C'est peu de dire que ça me fait sacrément plaisir de voir @findugamejv.bsky.social parler de 1000xRESIST :)
D'ailleurs, vous l'avez acheté ? Non ? Qu'est-ce vous attendez, exactement ?

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

*attenborough voice* the rapacious financial backers of the live-service video game, frustrated by the fledgling's inability to interest 100,000s of players immediately post-launch, turns quickly against its own young. the market is a harsh and unforgiving environment, layoffs an inevitable outcome

it feels like cyberpunk and the London gangster genre are an obvious fit, I dunno why there hasn't been more cockney cyberpunk stuff
we could call it "cockneypunk," you could have razorbirds and netgeezers
