I feel like #Storycraft on #SecondWind is kind of underrated. This is a really interesting interview with the duo behind #BlackTabbyGames on creating interactive storylines that makes NPCs feel like real people and not just resources used in a puzzle:

"A good plot elevates the material. A bad plot is a missed opportunity".

#Yahtzee is right the moment he says that about #DoomTheDarkAges, and all games.

A Guide to New Indie Web Media (Partial)
It's a scary yet hopeful time for web media. As it must periodically, the hard fist of capitalism has let a number of very talented individuals slip out of its grip, and they've started their own little ramshackle internet presences to try to slice themselves out a sliver of the money pie.

I purchased the shirt from Second Wind, a worker-owned company that publishes video game reviews.

I got this spectacularly wrong, multiplying by 28.35 grams per ounce rather than dividing. This would've been $4M in 1966, or $40M in 2024.

At the current $970/ounce price for platinum, $17M.

Ok, this piece mentions a 720lb test load for a handling test a factory 1965 Olds Vista Cruiser Wagon passed with ease, so it is feasible that this could handle 1,100 lbs if it were done right.

Holy crap how did they film that armored truck going over the cliff?

200M French Francs in 1966 was worth $40.5M, which becomes $405M in 2024.

The historic price of platinum in 1966 seems to be about $225/ounce. Back then, this heist would've been $3.2B, or roughly $32B today.

That same amount of platinum would be worth $13.75B at today's price of $970/ounce.

I'm not certain that station wagon can handle 20 55-lb (25kg) containers, even with the back seat removed. That thing's gonna need better suspension.

I guess the scene where Gu is introduced on the day of both established that they planned and show's Gu's savvy by the tarp recommendation.

Did these crooks not even do a tabletop exercise to plan for this heist? #LaDeuxiemeSouffle #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Noirvember #SecondWind

Had to pause halfway thru to attend to puppies and some chores, but back to finish #LaDeuxiemeSouffle #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Noirvember #SecondWind

JFC! That was unexpected

I wonder if you have to be middle-aged, or over the hill and picking up speed, to really appreciate the chemistry between Christine Fabréga and Lino Ventura in that scene in Gu's safehouse. You believe they've known each other since they were kids stealing hubcaps or whatever. You see the buried guilt, the forgiveness. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Noirvember #LaDeuxiemeSouffle #SecondWind

The chemistry between Christine Fabréga and Lino Ventura is amazing. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Noirvember #LaDeuxiemeSouffle #SecondWind

For a split second I thought “that’s an obscene amount of butter to eat” then I remembered that if you could be killed or incarcerated at any second you may as well live it up

That sounded even more chilling in French.

Escapist Collapse and Aftermath
"Hey, remember me?"

Just saw on Metafilter that The Escapist has fired Nick Calandra, who helped revive the site after they threw their lot in on the side of Gamergate during that whole fiasco. In summary, it took a huge amount of effort and good will on their part to recover, and that they did was largely becau
