  1. @davidculley The current situation in part a consequence of weak leadership (Spencer, Bond, McCarthy et al) and people abusing the freedom given to them.

    Case in point: Double Fine's #TimSchafer used #Microsoft's money to move the company to a fancy SF downtown office, go on a hiring spree and then release two tech demos as games which nobody wanted to play ("Keeper" and "Kiln").

  3. A quotation from Tim Schafer

    MEMBRILLO: All day long, Manny, I sort through pure sadness. I find evidence, and I piece together stories. But none of my stories end well — they all end here. And the moral of every story is the same: we may have years, we may have hours, but sooner or later, we push up flowers.

    Tim Schafer (b. 1967) American video game designer.
    Grim Fandango, “Year 2,” computer game (1998)

  7. Das Werner Herzog Experiment – „About a Hero“ (2024)

    Dieser Krimi-Film-Fake will keine Antworten geben, sondern Fragen verschärfen. Ein Fabrikarbeiter stirbt, irgendwo in einer Stadt, die so fiktiv klingt, dass sie real wirken könnte. Was bleibt, ist ein Rätsel, das sofort ausfranst. Erzählt wird mit einer Stimme, die nach Werner Herzog klingt, aber nicht Herzog ist, sondern eine KI, gefüttert mit seinem Tonfall, seinen Sätzen, seinen Obsessionen. Parallel dazu tauchen ganz reale Stimmen auf: Philosoph:innen, Künstler:innen, Intellektuelle, die in kurzen Interventionen die großen Fragen verhandeln. (ARTE, TV-Premiere)

  11. I tried out #Psychonauts one time and thought it wasn't for me. Maybe it was just not the right moment.
    But five minutes into the #Psychonauts2 documentary I want to play it so badly! I guess you can't resist #TimSchafer
