My current game of the year is South of Midnight, and frankly, I don't see anything unseating it

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

nobuo uematsu is possibly the most famous and well acclaimed video game composer of all time. indisputably he's in the top 3. and i'm gonnna say it: he's probably still underrated

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

the games industry breaks my heart. i love this medium but i don’t think i will ever be able to have a career in it. it’s not worth the financial turmoil.

language like this is so insulting, imo. is it a compulsory thing for CEOs to need to brag while laying people off?

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

I refuse to stop using the em-dash just because The Singularity™️ happens to use it too. I did it first.

Big fan. But, I don't think this is on me. Or us. In fact, a lot of us said this was coming and we were told to relax & the institutions would save us but a guy who wasn't legally allowed to run is the President and I don't think that has to do with us. Don't blame your constituents.

my sincerest apologies to all resident evil fans that was rough

i have begun to use “wicked” to describe these people. it is old fashioned but captures the active nature of their malevolence. they are *agents* of evil

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

Japanese game cover design is widely admired by players, a true craft they have perfected over the years. In an effort to make their product stand out, many studios explored a more tactile range of materials. The resulting effect is as amusing today as it is instantly nostalgic.🧵
