Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

they asked me to design a Cookie Clicker shirt. I said are you sure?? www.fangamer.com/collections/...

The Séance of Blake Manor and Strange Antiquities stood out among the strange, spooky puzzle games of 2025!

I loved Strange Horticulture so much! I've just started playing Strange Antiquities and between the rain, the color palette, the soundtrack, and the map, it's giving me everything I loved about the first game and so much more!

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion. Since it was overturned in 2022, millions of patients have lost access to this essential care because of abortion bans.

Excited!

Top of the charts at my house today

It's #PortfolioDay again and I'm urgently looking for remote work in game writing/narrative design‼️ I’ve been an indie dev for 10 years and I have worked with clients in the industry since 2019. I also create the Twine Grimoire and volunteer with IFTF. 🪄 gcbaccaris.com 🪩 patreon.com/gcbaccaris

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE and CBP challenging federal agents’ unconstitutional and illegal stops and arrests of people in Minnesota. We'll see the Trump administration in court.

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Hell yeah.

Check it out!

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

oh hey! Discord is asking how we feel about AI. Here's the survey!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

We're excited to announce the nominees for the 29th Annual #DICEAwards! 64 games are nominated this year, led by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Ghost of Yōtei with 8, Arc Raiders, Dispatch with 6, Blue Prince with 5. Check out our full list of nominees here: www.interactive.org/awards/29th_...

Feel like it shld be front page, 34-sized font headline news that the person who gave ~$250 million to Trump campaign and then was co-president for a few months, dismantling agencies and stealing Americans' data, built an AI tool that is being used for child porn. This Sept. piece is instructive

hi everybody! I'm urgently looking for full-time game writing/narrative design work. I'm a 6-year industry pro working with both AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, and [REDACTED]. I also edit and consult! Updated portfolio is live on my new site: www.nessacannon.com

New Year, New "Hey, I'm Still Looking For Work" Post I'm available for full-time or part-time work as a Game Writer and a Narrative Designer but I'm open to consulting if that's what you need. You can find my work and reach out to me at sahilbajaj.dev

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Increasingly feels like the only way to take back control is to become famous so people can recognize your personal style on sight. No one should have to become hypervisible for these thieving leeches to face consequences. Many creators aren't built for that, nor do they want that.

this tactics game would rip

All my Choice of Games text games are in the Steam Winter sale! Royal Affairs is 40% off: play as the Queen of Westerlin's middle child and head off to boarding school! Meddle in politics, decide on a perfect (or scandalous) future spouse... rule the roost or be a royal disaster!

Governments collectively making it onerous and difficult to buy consensual adult porn and sex ed, while ignoring a billionaire's revenge porn and csam factory, is really rather too on the nose.

Lots of the footage of Venezuelans cheering on the US are from US cities. In the streets of Caracas, people are making a run on the banks, gas and groceries out of fear. Disinformation is rampant right now as the truth is suppressed. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Glad to see Dosa Divas on the 50 most anticipated games for 2026 list! www.polygon.com/most-anticip...

Every list of best games that doesn’t have Devil May Cry 3 or 5 is factually wrong.

this is live today, and trust me when I say you need some skillful weird fiction with soul more than ever

Apropos of nothing, it's a good time to make your own games and release them to the world right now. Just do it.

Don’t just send your outrage out into the social media void; send them to your representatives. The politicians in positions to do something about the near-daily unlawful actions of this administration need to know their constituents are paying attention and demand action.

Hip, hip!

Happy New Years! ✌🏾✨️🍾🥂

I don't know who needs to know but UNBEATABLE's soundtrack (which is 10/10) is name your own price on Bandcamp dcellgames.bandcamp.com/album/unbeat...

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre. A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>. This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

a few years ago, when i still worked in IT, customers would frequently say something to the effect of: "you're so smart; why do you do THIS for a living?" my response: "because i don't want to make weapons." i used to get weird looks, but now there is a general understanding of what that means
