This clip perfectly encapsulates the issues plaguing modern Ubisoft writing. When the literal writer is oblivious to how much worse the new writing is compared to the old, it shows a complete lack of quality control. Nobody internally has the authority or the standards to stand up and say... show more

I came across this old Ubisoft video about Studio Alice, and it explains so much as to why writing quality and standards have completely declined from back then to now. So basically, Ubisoft back in the day during their prime era created an entire internal group to improve the quality of their writing. Writers would bring in their scripts to get another set of eyes on them, and then have problems pointed out, and actually be challenged when something wasn't working. Corey May in this video talks about how important it was for writers to have somewhere to go for HONEST feedback. He talks about when he was writing games himself, there were times where he had nobody to turn to for help or guidance. Nobody to look at his work and tell him what they thought. Studio Alice was partly his attempt to give the writers the support system he wished he had. He says writers would come to him and basically say, "I need your help. I would love it if I could show you my work and you could tell me what you think of it." What is said at 4:57 literally describes the current state of Ubisoft writing quality. Lowkey, she kinda foreshadowed today's Ubisoft. I find this so funny because watching this video after my tweet about the Ubisoft writer seemingly being oblivious to how much worse the new Black Flag Resynced writing feels compared to the old really puts things into perspective.

This scene has no dialogue, yet it perfectly reveals the character of everyone present. A testament to the writing and the performances.

The Hindus are tired of selective targeting and double standards when it comes to freedom of expression. If it isn’t the gau mutra jibes, the ads, the stand-up comics, or the utterances of parties like the DMK, it is the whitewashing OTT dramas. Enough is enough. My views:

A good quick summary of my approach to writing. If I can't write something I feel great about in 5-10 minutes, I just throw it away and start over. I don't try to massage the bad into the good, I erase the bad to make way for something better to emerge. For me, throwing it away is faster, and the outcome better, than trying to recover a piece of writing that isn't headed where I want it.

Watch this game-changing dissertation on "expert writing." Expert writers write to "think" about the world. 99% of experts write and think at the same time. They use the writing process to help themselves think. This is how they do their best thinking. Write to think about the world. Do this because you care, because you want to be part of progress, because you want to make a dent in the universe. Write to inspire and influence. And when you are finished writing, and you click publish, think about your work this way... the intent of your text is to cause readers to change the way they think about the world. Engagement metrics don't really matter in comparison. Whether or not your text is valuable, depends on whether or not your readers perceive that you have valuably changed what they think, or what they do, or how they decide. One of the reasons it's so hard for smart people to write well is because they don't write to change the way people think about the world. They write to complete a project, to earn a grade, to be assessed. Or they write to publish *their* thoughts without going through a mental and soulful exercise of writing to think about the world, without writing to change how people think about the world. Write to think about the world. Change how people think about the world. In an era of #GenerativeAI, content isn't the end game. Your goal isn't just to get someone's attention, generate reactions, or show up in search. Your mission is to change how people think about the world. Change How People Think About the World. Thank you, Larry McEnerney (now-retired former Director of the University of Chicago's Writing Program).

The only writing that changes the reader is writing that changed the writer. Ben and I did a mailbag/debrief on the first installment of Ben Hunt:Unplugged and ended up somewhere I didn't expect. New "Notes on Notes" 👇

The CEO of Anthropic says nobody is paying attention to what's about to happen. "The most surprising thing has been the lack of public recognition of how close we are to the end of the exponential. To me, it is absolutely wild that you have people talking about the same tired old hot button political issues... We're near the end of the exponential."

lol how can you say this about wolverine, it’s literally being written by the writer of spec ops the line, one of the darkest videogames in history… this scene takes place after using chemical gas against the enemies in the game it’s safe to say wolverine is going to have mature and dark writing…

This clip perfectly encapsulates Dominik Szoboszlai to a tee. 89th minute of the game, 2-0 up & he is sprinting the length of the pitch to support the attack. Liverpool lose possession & he is sprinting the length to get back & help. 30 seconds later, he’s making the same sprint & has the technical ability to execute the pass after all that running

We live on the remains of a much larger past. It is hard for the ant to have perspective of the much larger world it is a part of when it only sees what’s right in front of it. We are the ants, most are oblivious to how much larger beyond the ant hill this world of ours is.

Always fun to revisit this Andrew Marr clip about how incredibly stable the country is going to be under Labour. Just over a year later and the government is in chaos, while Marr is writing articles for the New Statesman on how Labour must tackle immigration or be destroyed.

Announcing: Writing Examples Today is launch day! We built this website to celebrate great writing. It’s 100% free. Each article deconstructs a piece of writing from an iconic writer. The goal is to give you X-Ray vision into what makes sentences and paragraphs come alive (so that you can improve at your craft). Every example has an analysis of why the writing works. Analytical often means dry. But instead of going technical, we’ve gone technicolor. There are text-explainers, summary graphics, and videos that come together to make the writing instruction lively and multi-dimensional. It’s a place where you can discover how great writing comes together. Where we lift up the hood and see the mechanics in action. It isn’t about giving you a set of rules to follow. It’s about showing the diversity of ways writers approach their craft, so you can develop your own style. What are some of the articles about? You’ll learn how to describe a party like F. Scott Fitzgerald, how to tell a story like George Orwell, how to write a speech like John F. Kennedy. There are other articles inspired by the likes of John Steinbeck, James Clear, Winston Churchill, Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Dickens, Steven Pressfield, and Jerry Seinfeld. Writing Examples is a crusade against the sterility of contemporary writing. So much of the advice you read says the same thing: “Be direct. Cut the fluff. Get to the point. Stick to short sentences.” And yeah, sure, this advice has merit. It’s useful in certain cases, but the problem is writers take these rules to be universal, which has homogenized writing styles. Even in my own writing, there’ve been so many times where I’ve stripped away my own voice in the name of “correctness.” I regret that. The truth is, there is no one way to write well, just as there is no one way to speak well. The way you speak in a boardroom is different from the way you speak on a first date, which is different from the way you speak with your childhood best friends. Writing is similar. Writing Examples is the opposite of Grammarly. It celebrates the wild, wacky, and the weird because it’s the bedrock of personality. The site’s explicit purpose is to inject some High Noon Chutzpah back into the world of writing. To teach you how to write with distinctly human fingerprints in a world that’s about to be flooded with AI-generated content. Forget playing it safe. That’s the most dangerous thing you can do in a world of instant writing. I want you to write with personality. I want you to play with punctuation. I want you to ditch the corporatized hogwash. I want to expand your sense of what great writing can be. And I want you to have fun doing it. But there’s more to the mission. Writing Examples is a protest against today’s Internet, where people spend the majority of their time reading ad-polluted articles and doom-scrolling the same few social media sites. Remember when we used to surf the Internet? When every site was its own wave to ride? Now, we’re like phone-addicted zombies, we mindlessly scroll Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram until we feel bad about ourselves — only to repeat the cycle a few hours later. Writing Examples is different. Heartfelt writing deserves a heartfelt presentation, so every element of the site has been designed from scratch. Energetically, we wanted to honor the gravitas of classic writing without the sleepiness of a drab old library shelf. We said no to ads. We said no to pop-ups. No hijacking your attention. None of the flat white backgrounds that make the Internet feel so homogenous. And we said no to anything that feels like your 5th-grade English class. Writing Examples isn’t about what’s trending. It’s about learning from the great writers of times past, most of whom you know, many of whom you probably haven’t taken the time to read. The ultimate goal is to make Writing Examples a one-stop shop to learn about any kind of writing you can think of. Now, I dare you to dive into the site and get to work.

Who is the funniest writer in the English language? Atlantic staff writer Helen Lewis’s nomination is Terry Pratchett, the author of more than 40 satirical books. Through his work, Lewis says, “I’ve learned so much both about character writing” and “writing about social issues without beating people over their head.” At the link, read more about Pratchett’s work—and why he’s in danger of being lost to history.

The "history" of the TV. Something is just off. Especially when it comes to certain tech. It just shows up from nowhere complete with a backstory. Lately they don't even bother with the backstory or naming inventor(s) to the public. They name owners.
