I see today that Meryl Streep and her husband of 40+ years have been separated for 6 years and have been pretending to be together all this time.

I saw about that, Anon. "Hollywood" being "Hollywood"!

Neil Gaiman writes short stories so so well but they literally fall into 3 categories:

-the occult treated so mundanely that it makes you cry and scream at the night stars and wish for a childhood so foreign that you don't recognise yourself afterwards

-a fucked up poem

-a poemed up fuck

Hello! I have a question about cutscenes. How does a decision get made about whether a cutscene can be skipped or not? I know some games have certain skipable cutscenes and others unskippable, and that in HD remakes of old games developers will sometimes add the ability to skip them. Do these decisions tend to be story-motivated or is there commonly a background mechanical reason to force a cutscene to play fully through?

Cinematics are mostly for storytelling purposes, but they also hid a very real secondary purpose - we would do a lot of game setup during cinematics, like streaming data off of a physical disc while the cinematic is playing so that we can load what comes next. If we need to load a bunch of assets, it's much better to hide that in a cinematic than pop up a loading screen or force a decompression area like a tight locked corridor to hide the new environment popping in. This kind of thing is less important now that we can install the full game to the hard drive and most gaming devices are now running SSDs, but it was a real concern before ~2012 or so when we still needed to read data from optical drives.

I used this link to see what my writing style was like and I—

I am humbled by this honor. It’s not the first time someone has told me my writing style was reminiscent of Mr. Gaiman’s and it remains to this day the highest and greatest compliment I have ever received.

I doubt @neil-gaiman will see this, but I really had to share.

Smoke and Mirrors 3

Distractions Over Coffee

@general-dweebous BAM good things come in 3’s :D

“Hey! What’ll it be?” 

“Hullo, again,” he rubbed his palms together as if deciding how much to bet on a horse at the track, “can I have—uh, hmm—ah, let’s stick with those two americanos again, if that’s alright.”

“Room for cream and sugar, too, right?” Asked the barista, her eyes darting between the professor and the table he’d just alighted from.

“That would be correct, yes,” opening his wallet, “how much do I owe you?”

She pursed her lips, “If it’s just a few shots of espresso and water, it’s on the house. You and your wife come here all the time, it’s fine.”

Gale’s chest tightened—all of the air gone in an instant. He blinked several times, visibly processing. “My uh—my, my what?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you two were—”

“HA, No! Oh, no no, I mean of COURSE not, we work together that could—that could never be a…possible—ahem, thing,” he glanced back at her, adjusting his glasses, hoping the ambient noise of the coffee house was enough to keep her from hearing all of this.

“Sorry, I just assumed, my bad,” the barista avoided eye contact as much as possible, writing their order on a napkin and handing that with the two mugs to her coworker. 

“No, it’s fine, I can see where the confusion would come from. We certainly frequent your establishment often enough,” he looked down and fiddled with his wallet. 

“Will that be all?”

“Yes, thank you,” an absent-minded nod as he stepped off to the side, letting someone else order next. Gale leaned against the wall near the pick-up counter, sliding his wallet into the pocket of his dockers and fidgeting instead with his glasses. He didn’t dare look up to see if Meg was looking his way; if she had heard and was now staring at him with an incredulous look. Or worse, an entertained chuckle about to burst forth from her lips. 

They looked fuller today, didn’t they. Maybe it’s because she keeps biting them while she studies.
