YEAH BABY YEAH GAMING IS BACK IN 2026!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put Seance of Blake Manor on my GOTY list after only playing 30 minutes, but dear reader, I sure was right! What an incredible feat of game design and storytelling. Each hour was page turner quality prose and mystery writing all the up to the end. I’m absolutely floored by this game

BEWARE THE MACHINE MIND

@intothecast.bsky.social Vita is life?

ICYMI, friendos!

Like many, yesterday's news both angered and saddened me. More than anything, the detail that Renee Good was widowed and leaving behind a 4 year old was devastating to me. My own 4 year old daughter woke up in the middle of the night last night with a bad dream. When this happens... /1

I have reached end of day 2 in Seance of Blake Manor and good on them for not throwing in a “the game is afoot” but also shame on them for not doing it

Video game publishers will do literally anything than add difficulty options

Yesssss

Been thinking about Dishonored lately and how letting you play as a “villain” in Death of the Outsider is a master stroke So much of D1 and D2 is a moral quandary about making the world better with clever vengeance, but DotO lets you go full assassin because of the narrative. Genius design

Finally having the time to sit down and play Seance of Blake Manor and man I knew I was saving the best for last, but what an absolute treat of a video game

Hey if this is you: “Undoutedly a mighty price tag, and one that only enthusiasts of ModRetro and Andruil would acquire.” You might as well block me now and then when you’re done with that go walk into the ocean

AJ is one of the most talented creative people I know and have the pleasure of working with daily. If you make audio of any kind, you should hire them to do the hard part for you. You won't regret it.

I truly believe the struggle is worth it when making something creative BECAUSE of all of this. The “inefficiency” of art isn’t always profitable, but it’s enriching (which is so much more important)
