We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

My Rue Valley review is live. I loved it. Without getting into spoilers, some parts of the game didn’t land with me but overall, it’s a great RPG medium.com/dar-games/ru...

I will say again, Nostalgia is the Devil's Word when it comes to media, especially games. Like that word barely means what it's supposed to mean at this point and it's damaging our ability to communicate about the history of games.

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship. Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

"I have cause.."

Hey bruh. If your defense holds the Super Bowl champs to 10 at the crib and you lose??? Maaaan…

LMAOOOO

It is never irrational to yell at Nick Sirianni because he will always go bozo mode at some point. The team may bail him out but he always has it in his pocket. He could have 15 good games in a row and I will still yell at him.

credits that include the names of everyone who worked on the game at any point

Smitty cold as fuck out there lmao

The Nick Sirianni era

Nick gotta get punched in the chest for that 4th down decision lol

I hate that I had to cancel my Giant Bomb subscription. But your boy still jobless and I need the bread lol

BET YOU WISH YOU HAD A TUSH PUSH DONT YOU BITCH?

RESPECT MAH QUOTABYYYYYKE

One of the teams playing in this very game just won the Super Bowl and has been one of the three most analytics-friendly organizations in the league for about two decades!

If a team is gap sound and doesn’t blow coverage on defense with NFL splits it is REALLY hard to consistently move the ball

ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING AI

….this is a very good post.

Daboll had to go. He was finna turn Dart into Tua.

If you can't protect the franchise investment then you can't be the HC

“We are going to play 2 high shell and have 5 DBs on the field” “Ok” *spam inside zone*

Putting in the 5th DB most of the time was always going to lead to this

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered. Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙

Iggy, one of the lead playtesters for Blue Prince, is in urgent need of a living kidney donor. Please take a look at the information here and share it as widely as you can: www.iggyland.org/ The whole thinky community wishes the best for Iggy! 💛

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments. So please consider and spread it around, thank you.

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

Oh yall doubling down huh?

And now here's the full-blown review because @dogwitchgame.bsky.social is EVERYTHING I thought it would be. medium.com/dar-games/do...

So, a while back, I told y'all how dope the Dog Witch demo was. www.vice.com/en/article/w...

I wrote about this one back in May after the Thinky Direct. PLEASE check this one out

I'm pretty much very proud of the work I did at Vice from last October to about the first week of July this year. It's kind of cool to look back and see some of the indie games I wrote about turn out to be the bangers I thought they would.

Still really in need of help to get through these bills while I look for a job. Anything helps including sharing this as far as you can. Thanks everyone.

And its time, once again, for me to lurk this hashtag to find games to write about lol

Breaking: #PitchYaGame IS LIVE! 🚀 It's time, once again, to pitch the world your #IndieGames! 🔥

Every Raiders series is the same Bad first down run Immediate pressure on second down *fart noise* on third down

Defenders should get credit for a sack when they force intentional grounding

we’re in store for some breathtaking fourth quarter al michaels nihilism

Jaafar finna fucking KILL IT man. Holy shit I can’t wait.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Alex Ovechkin scored career goal No. 900 on Wednesday night, the first player in league history to ever do so.
