deep-etched into my memory is the lighting of ICO and SOTC. playing the remake was a smoother experience, but it was attempting to be accurate, not evocative. the lighting in the originals is painterly, incorrect, but beautiful
A great example would be my preferred way to experience Shadow of the Colossus. I'll always cherish the harsh, dreamlike lighting of the original over the overtly sanitized, inoffensive lighting of the PS4 remake.

its very important for people to galvanize around the idea that Endless Growth is psychotic, so that we can eventually decouple from this 20th century deathcult freight train mentality.
start companies that are fine with "boring" profits. dont go public. keep human scale.
Waypoint was profitable, for a time, the company bragged about having a subscription business with steady income. The company stopped bragging when we did too well right out of the gate, and they didn’t like the lack of growth. Being profitable wasn’t enough.

BTAS villians are genuinely terrifying, not because of some malicious violence, but because they are broken human beings — unable to cope with an uncaring, oft corrupt society.
Batman often ends up performing de-escalation, rather than punitive violence. a fascinating portrayal

this was written in 1995 (and I distinctly remember scanning this page in 2001)
this culture of "give me what I know I already like" is sickening, infantilizing, paralyzing.

Jazzpunk is a cyberpunk game that takes place in an alternate reality 1950s. One very important design goal for me was to find a way to convey kind of "1950s cyberspace" that rejected the tropes that were cemented and have hung around since Tron was released in 1982 --

the characters in Jazzpunk are heavily influenced by Gerd Arntz's Isotype designs from the 1930s
in addition, some more colourful influence stems from 1970s children's toy figures, such as fisher price, lego, playmobil, etc

weird take: Bladerunner is not cyberpunk. it is a neo-noir. all of the technology in BR is analogue; nobody ever mentions or dives into a single interconnected data-network; there is no cyberspace in this world. Likewise, nowhere in the film is there a strong counter-culture.

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlords Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from

CBS is live broadcasting the ENTIRETY of the Apollo 11 launch coverage, including all of the commercials, local news, and other interstitials. its the greatest contiguous window I've ever seen into 1960s television. The graphic design of the era destroys anything from 2019.

Valve needs a sub-label or sub-imprint where Valve employees are allowed to make weird little games (but have access to $team Fund$ to do so)
Valve apparently stopped releasing games because they need to maintain a "perfect" track record, and its paralyzed them.

The very first thing you see in Jazzpunk is a modernist glass/metal sculpture in an airport. This was my homage John Graham's 1963 work " Northern Lights", which hung in the Winnipeg International Airport until its removal in the 90s. I remember seeing it when I was a child.

Part of the low-poly style of Jazzpunk stems from the "painted on" look of vintage toys, ala playmobil, fisher-price playsets. One strong influence was 1960s Tin-Litho Dollhouses. Tin litho refers to lithography printing onto Tin Metal Sheets, which form the walls of the houses.
