Experimental game designer Pippin Barr and writer-interviewer David Wolinsky exchanged answerphone messages about anything and everything (mostly everything) they found interesting about videogames.

While I wrote the documentation material itself (via my standard process while making the games, all of which is available and linked from each game’s page on this site ), all the hard work on actually… ## [Parseltongue?

Toes, thighs, stomach, chest, chin, and nose push up the black plastic. A closed zipper across the top makes sure you can’t see inside, keeping the the dead man a mystery. He’s made of 961 vertices and 4 textures. I’ve never used him in a game, it’s not really the sort of thing I go for. I browsed his page… ## [Brisk AI News Briefings (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/JsbPuGsFGGfb) _2025-02-04 · **Sponsored**_ Read AI summaries and listen to audio briefings for top stories. ## [My Evil Twin](https://pippinbarr.github.io/words/2025/01/my-evil-twin/) _2025-01-28 · Pippin Barr_ I happened to run into Google’s Gemini the other day. I was about to start work on a recommendation letter for an ex-student who was applying for a professor job at a university in Montréal.

I feel like Cory Archangel made a project out of it. Someone like that.
