Sam’s monologue from The Two Towers Frodo : I can't do this, Sam. Sam : I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam? Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026) Sam Neill on why "The Piano" (1993) is an important movie in Cinema history: "I don’t think I can overestimate how important 'The Piano' (1993) is for me in hindsight. It sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn’t my film. It was Jane Campion's. I wasn’t the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fourth. No one notices you much, you don’t get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of these labels does the film justice. It’s a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric— see down there on the right—that’s me. It’s a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it." ("Did I Ever Tell You This: A Memoir", Sam Neill, 2023)

John Waters on his obsession with "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) & his thoughts on the movie being considered a "Gay classic": "Interviewer: Do you remember how old you were and where you saw it? Waters: I probably saw it at the Senator Theater in Baltimore the first time, which I still have my movie premieres in. I probably saw it there and then on TV every year. But certainly I saw it at the movies as a kid. I don’t remember how old I was, and it wasn’t the first movie I saw, but it was close to it. It was a complete, complete obsession from the very, very beginning. Now, today, you have video. We couldn’t do that, so you had to wait once a year to see it. That’s that sadness about the magic of movies: you can watch it over and over, and you can rewind it, see how everything is done. Still, is there a better tornado scene? To me, all these really expensive digital effects are very uninvolving. That tornado scene is as good as 'Twister' (1996) to me, and I think it’s done with a nylon stocking Interviewer: It’s a great surrealist scene, too. Waters: And how radical—the black and white to color is almost like an LSD effect. It is a drug movie almost. (...) Interviewer: Why do you think it’s become associated with the gay community, as being a “gay classic”? Waters: See, to me, I don’t think it’s that much of a gay movie. Judy Garland is, but I don’t think so much of that movie. Of course, this is her first one, but she wasn’t tragic in that movie, except later they found out she was on diet pills when she was singing. I think it’s only a gay movie, if it is, only because of Judy Garland’s later suffering in her life and melodrama. I love Judy Garland, but did she ever marry a straight man? I don’t know. Did anyone in the family? It’s a tradition. But basically, I don’t think of it as a gay film. I know “Friends of Dorothy,” but I think it’s because of Judy Garland’s later career. Well, it might be a gay children’s movie. I don’t think it’s a gay adult’s movie. I know drag queens do the Wicked Witch, but I never saw one. It’s not a drag role."

I asked Jaylen Brown about Sam Hauser for the three-point record and he started laughing: “It was terrible. I remember when Sam almost had the record when we were in Washington, and he hurt his ankle, and I didn't play that game, and I was in the back, and I was like, ‘Bro, you got to get back out there. I need you to get that record.’ And he was like, ‘Oh, it's gonna come back to me. That was two years ago…. It might not be another two years.” “But it was a joy to watch, man. We was all rooting for him. I wanted him to get it, but probably it was a little bit too much pressure on it.”

American entrepreneur and angel investor Jason Calacanis issues a warning to developers: Sam Altman’s OpenAI is stealing from you. “If I was a developer of any kind, I would never work with Sam Altman and OpenAI. Let me say that this is a warning. People can clip this. This is a warning for anybody dumb enough to use Sam Altman's OpenAI. You know, API. They are studying. You remember, Sam Altman's been around the block. I've known him since Loop. He's incredibly savvy person and he wants every bit of revenue from the ecosystem. He is taking no prisoners.

Glad to announce my partnership with BADMAD ROBOTS I spent over 5 hours yesterday streaming on their Discord and playing personally and I can tell you, it’s nothing short of fun! This isn’t just another shooter, It’s a free to play, team based PvP set in a gritty, robot run city where chaos rules and only the toughest survive. If you haven’t joined the Closed Beta yet, this is your sign to jump in. Check out my first gameplay video below and yes! I’ll be creating content, sharing gameplay, and keeping you in the loop as the game evolves.

Today is the 25th anniversary of Gothic, a classic open-world RPG developed by Piranha Bytes and released on March 16, 2001. You play as a nameless hero, a convict thrown into a penal colony in the Valley of Mines, sealed by a magical barrier. The kingdom needs the colony's magical ore to fight orcs, so prisoners run the place after a rebellion. Three rival factions dominate: the powerful Old Camp, the brutal New Camp, and the fanatical Swamp Camp Through quests, combat, and alliances, you uncover ancient secrets, dark gods and other evil threatening the world. The game felt highly immersive with a great medieval fantasy vibe. For 2001 this was pretty epic.

Sam Altman: “Hire for values first, aptitude second, and skills third.” Most executive recruiters, Sam argues, will reverse this order: “If you say I need to hire a CFO, they will bring you people with 20 years of experience as a CFO at vaguely similar companies. But unfortunately, it’s usually like 20 years of the exact same year of experience over and over again.” But if you’re trying to scale fast, values are most important: “You really need someone who is aligned with the values of the company so that when things change or when they have to make a decision, they’ll make the one you would make if you can’t be there or they will be a good team player and go do that thing.” Sam continues: “You need someone who has high aptitude because the role is going to constantly shift. And the rate of learning - the rate of improvement - dominates skills.” And then skills obviously matter, but for Sam it’s third on the list: “The very best companies take this exceptionally far in how much they’re willing to hire a non-traditionally qualified executive.” Video source: Y Combinator (2017)

I will always associate Bullfrog Productions with innovation, daring to take risks, and trying unconventional ideas. That approach didn't just evolve later in their timeline of games but was pretty evident early on. Populous (1989) is widely recognized as the origin of God games. I remember having zero idea what to do when first playing it but being instantly hooked. Over time I figured it out, what the goal of the game was, how the mana bar worked, what effect the disasters had, how to raise or flatten land - I mean, think about how many other games before allowed you to cast an earthquake spell on your enemy, or to terraform the land around you, letting your hero cross the seas to wreak havoc on enemy peasants. Pure glorious mayham, fun, and a very novel concept. Obviously, the graphics look a bit dated now (though I love that pixel style), however the concept itself feels timeless. Populous is the game that first comes to mind when I see the Bullfrog logo, but it was not their only unique and ground-breaking game. One of the best developers of the 80s and 90s, truly missed if you ask me.

A while ago, I posted about games that looked great but had terrible gameplay/controls. The one that stuck with me was Dragon's Lair, but there were so many more mentioned in the comments that I had totally forgotten about. Today, I want to turn the question around - games that looked rather basic (or even poor) but had incredible gameplay. So, basically the polar opposite of Dragon's Lair. The choice for me was rather easy: M.U.L.E. (Ozark Softscape, 1983). Back then the graphics were ok but nothing to write home about. However, the reason why this game still has such a cult following and so many fans today - over 40 years later - is its gameplay. I never had more fun in a multi-player game. The land grabing, the auction system, supply and demand principles, and the many last second buy/sell antics have lost none of their charm. It's a game that aged beautifully because the concept and gameplay are as good today as they were back then. If you had to pick a game that ranks rather low in terms of presentation but fascinated you for its gameplay, which one would that be?

today I found myself in a place called Lucketts Virginia. It’s north of Leesburg and south of point of rocks Maryland. I don’t know if it’s a town or if it’s just an intersection. But they have a couple antique shops, and who would’ve ever thought but I just went “antiquing”. The place I went is called the old Lucketts store and it’s an old big house with a dozen rooms and multiple levels filled with everything and anything you can imagine. I can certainly imagine people would love to go here on a weekend.

Liv Ullmann on how she felt after reading the screenplay of Ingmar Bergman's 'Face to Face' (1976): "I realized when I first got the part that it was an extraordinary tour-de-force for an actress—if I could do it. But there were difficulties with it as well, besides being difficult to act. It’s not a lovable part. So I was at the same time afraid that even if I did it right, people wouldn’t like it. You don’t like to see your own close friend have these dreams; why would you like to see somebody you don’t even know? It’s not beautiful, it’s ugly. It’s everything inside us we don’t think about." (Liv Ullmann's interview with Virgina Wright Wexman, 1976) On this day, 50 years ago, 'Face to Face' (1976) was released in the USA.

Tucker Carlson to Sam Altman: I spoke to someone who's involved at scale of the development of the technology who said they lie. Have you ever seen that? Sam Altman: They hallucinate all the time, yeah. Or, not all the time, they used to hallucinate all the time. They now hallucinate a little bit. Tucker Carlson: What does that mean? What's the distinction between hallucinating and lying? Sam Altman: If you ask, again, this has gotten much better, but in the early days, if you asked, you know, what... in what year was President, the made up name, President Tucker Carlson of the United States born? Tucker Carlson: Mhm. Sam Altman: What it should say is, "I don't think Tucker Carlson was ever President of the United States," right? But because of the way they were trained, that was not the most likely response in the training data, so it would assume like, oh, um, you know, I don't know that there wasn't... the user has told me there was President Tucker Carlson, so I'll make my best guess at a number. And we figured out how to mostly train that out. There are still examples of this problem, but it is... I think it is something we will get fully solved, and we've already made, you know, in a GPT-5 era, a huge amount of progress towards that.

q. it’s an obvious question but when you came back to be in the band, it’s an interesting thing because you’re the youngest and they’ll always think of you as the youngest but you’re also a solo hitmaker. how did that affect the way that you approach things for the new album and maybe the way the other members approach things with you? 🐰: i’m just a very carefree and open person and I don’t think too much during my day-to-day unless I really have to. so when it comes to work process or choosing songs, I’ll express myself, sure, I’ll speak up and share my opinion, but I don’t stress about it. rather… well I don’t know about the others, I guess some of the members were pretty stressed but I just thought it was fun! I enjoyed it. I did what I wanted to do

Any fans of Sim Ant who played this wonderful game back in the day? Maxis created so many of these "Sim" games, starting - of course - with Sim City, so when Sim Ant was published in 1991, I was pretty intrigued. Not sure if you were one of those who had an "ant farm" back in the 80s, but I did. Playing this one for the first time was pure chaos, I had basically no clue what to do (I usually read the manual after several attempts with any new game I had). You take on the role of an ant in a colony of black ants. The goal is to survive, grow and eventually conquer the whole garden against red ants and other bugs... and then spread and take over the house to drive the family nuts, with the ultimate goal of them having to sell the house. Savage, lol! It felt like a pretty experimental game in some sense, open ended, requiring a lot of trial and error, patience and practice. Highly rewarding if you were willing to put in the time.

#YOUNGJAE's ment for #GOT7_NESTFESTinBKK_Day1 (first part not in video) 🌙 first of all, this was something we were actually supposed to do back in 2020, right? but because of covid and everything else, we couldn’t make it happen. but the fact that you’ve come and filled this place again, even after five years, i’m honestly so, so grateful. i was worried about whether things would go well this time, but you showed up and filled (the venue) so much. i had so much fun today. because you came all the way here today and filled every seat. because you showed us this kind of trust. that made us think, “as long as we do our best, that’s enough.” it might take some time again, but i really want to be back here with all the members and have fun with you as soon as we can. just like you’re here, we’ll be here too. so we’d be really thankful if you keep loving us
