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.

#Yahtzee on #SecondWind has a go at vocalising his thoughts on #roguelike #games (or perhaps #roguelite
His main take on it seems to be that the #ProcGen elements facilitates "easier" and "speedier" #GameDev.
I think his frustration is based more on an oversaturation of the #roguelike "marketing label" being splashed on anything that cherry picks a few mechanics that originate from the #TraditionalRoguelike palette.
Yahtzee von Second Wind hat mal wieder wundervoll abgelästert, diesmal über "Split Fiction" (zugegeben: die Story ist wirklich unterirdisch, egal, wie viel Spaß dass Gameplay macht):

Selbst Yahtzee war gerührt von "Citizen Sleeper 2"... und hat sogar mal innegehalten! Großartig:

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
