Unless the internet is hiding things from me, I’m realizing this is turning into one of those “if you want it, do it yourself” kinda vibes so I guess I’ve a new project to toss into the pile.

Every time a day feels long I think "surely not this time!", but every time I am proven wrong. Crispy chicken wings *will* make me feel better.

game devs, if I'm looking for rigorous (practical and/or academic) analysis of game and systems design concepts like initiative/turn order, inventory management, resource math, and other nitty-gritty elements, where is the best place to go? I'm having a beast of a time trying to find this.

Publishers when a live service game is ready to launch

Day of the Devs was very cool, I love trying out indie games. Good start to GDC so far, now to go check out these gardens everyone is talking about…

Heading to GDC this year, first time ever. Anyone got any tips/tricks to get the most out of it?

Pokepia having a Prop Hunt was unexpected, but incredible use of Ditto

It stills astounds me that no business decision makers have yet learned the lesson that you cannot create a Live Service audience, you can only convert an existing audience into a Live audience. There is no steel in the iron mines, that takes infrastructure.

why is game dev feedback always kinda like this

andy cohen's "am i excited about 2026? [pregnant pause] yeah. i... yeah. i mean, what's the alternative?" is the realest thing i've seen all night

The positive reception around this last Civ 7 patch has been a moment of relief I didn’t know I needed this badly.

Bethesda should return to its fucking around and not giving a shit roots tbh

Alright I get “wine-dark sea” now

On one hand, all these new "maybe the real punk was community and kindness" articles infuriate, because, yeah, that was always the point. On the other, maybe people will finally get it.

submission dates for GDC and PAXU are the same day and adding two things to my to-do list that overlap a little did more psychic damage than I was prepared for.

So much of my job lately has been changing a bunch of 20s in an excel sheet to 10s, and then back to 20s two days later, before deciding on 15 like its an epiphany of the highest order.

Elon is about to see the biggest twitter activity day as we all follow the shitstorm and if its enough positive reinforcement, we can Skinner Box our way into a complete republican schism.

The original Creator and Director of Final Fantasy Tactics, Yasumi Matsuno, shared a message with the fans about the new game!

I have reached the credits in Clair Obscur. I highly recommend it to everyone to try, it did fall apart for me towards the end. Still like an 8/10 game overall for its commitment to style alone.

I finally started Clair Obscur and it’s incredible that my game of the year two years in a row is gonna be a vivid, nearly-absurdist, fantasy turn based rpg. (Not incredible at all, it’s exactly all I’ve ever wanted)

I’ve never played oblivion and I know basically nothing about it, so they might as well have shadow dropped Elder Scrolls 6 for me. I’m so psyched

Some days you play your game and write down all the bugs and its productive. Some days you don't find bugs and you wonder - am I still working?

I haven’t been on social media for the last two weeks in the midst of all the game release busy-ness but I am looking forward to this long weekend. I hope y’all are enjoying Civ VII

People are slowly starting to play Civ7 as regions unlock. We released a game!

Civilization VII's strong focus on new ideas helps new players get in, get going, and start telling their own epic stories. Read our review. www.pastemagazine.com/games/civili...

I keep getting ads for #Civ7 and while the target audience is correct, I already have my copy.

Yes, we’re hiring another historian! Remote within US only, unfortunately (I do not make the rules). And Mark is correct that we’re interested in hearing from History PhDs!

At this point I have been sick for 100% of 2025 and this shit needs to stop

Alright PAXU, I’m here!

CIV VII IS THE MOST WANTED GAME OF 2024!!!

Civ VII most anticipated game of PC Gamer’s expert council? WHAT

PAXU friends I’ll be in town tomorrow through the con, let’s hang out!

Dev diary day! I’m excited to finally share this look into Civ VII’s new emergent narrative system.

great week if you’re interested in emergent narrative

This cyclone has knocked out everyone’s power in my area and I just learned it might not come back for *days*

Like everything aimed at improving my mental health, we got to the end with no satisfying resolution, mild disappointment in execution, and a lot of things to analyze. Good job to Tyson for not getting downed by a youth.

I checked with an editor at the NYT Magazine this week and they just… don’t publish poems anymore. People underestimated the impact of Boyer’s refusal at the time but whew. Powerful refusal.

I did not realize until this morning how much my mental health needs Mike Tyson to actually kill Jake Paul in the ring. I think I deserve it. Anyway hi Bluesky I live here now

Beat Metaphor:Refantazio tonight. I think its comfortably in my top 5 games ever. I can only recommend it.

I don't use this platform enough, but I want as many people to know about this as possible. I've got a cool new TTRPG project to announce. If you are interested in a new RPG built around cooperation, elemental magic, and doing cool stuff, give it a follow. Crowdfunding this year!
