I've updated KINOPHOBIA, my horror-mystery parser game from last year's Halloween, with a number of typo fixes. Meaning that now is an *even better* time to play it, if you haven't already – it's legal, it's free, and it's actually quite hard according to most players. brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia

Ew, I edited all night and now I have unwanted knowledge about Bobby Kotick all over me.

didn't need the computer to tell me it feels like i'm out in the Oort cloud here

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

That’s a name I have not heard in many a long year.

I blogged about the decades-long push to make Dragon Quest a mega-hit in the US and Europe, from Nintendo giving away 500k copies of the original to the *multiple* remakes of Dragon Quest 7. Plus: where to start.

Nothing like spending 8-10 hours climbing the mountain in Cairn, finally getting to a plateau after all that struggle and looking up to see this still looming above you.

Don’t anyone show this to Susan or I’m never gonna be allowed to get an outdoor wok burner

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I’d love to be able to enjoy the Muppets as much as everyone else does but whenever I watch them I just feel sick imagining what the man inside the Kermit the Frog costume must look like

General rule for all game-critical UI and text: if you personally think it's obnoxiously large, make it slighty larger than that.

I’ve been telling myself not to buy the DQ7 Reimagined despite it probably being my favourite (not counting the nostalgia factor of the original Dragon Warrior) because I have it on 3DS. Good news! The 3DS actually turned on for the first time in years so hopefully this will help me resist.

you know it's bad when they would rather us think that a rando staffer has unfettered access to the social media accounts of the President of the United States, where we also now know that world leaders direct message him

If you already own it, you won’t harm innocents or benefit evil by keeping it. It’s an object, it’s yours, if you’d get something from rereading it, that’s all fine. Buying new stuff benefits the author; keeping old stuff doesn’t. Not that you don’t know this. I’m just in a mood to hold forth.

Detroit Historical Museum is having an exhibit on the ttrpg RIFTS?!?

No joke, this reminds me a lot of Obama

OK, this is a big one. My review of @meredithgran.com's Perfect Tides: Station to Station. This is one of the most important and beautiful games I've ever played. buried-treasure.org/2026/02/perf... Please help me dedicate this much time to these games: www.patreon.com/c/buriedtrea...

I've been looking forward to @botherer.bsky.social's impression of PT2, and it's as personal and delighted as I could've hoped.

seen a surprising number of articles/videos approaching Cairn as a "relaxing climbing game" and I cannot for the life of me figure out where that idea came from. Was it advertised as that somewhere??

Tomato, cukes, mayo (unless it’s a chipotle mayo) are no goes for me. Onions are only good if they are sautéed and soft. Raw onions? Yuck.

Speaking of billionaires, I love this little essay by @petridishes.bsky.social so much. It’s hard to laugh about a lot of things now but this slayed me. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

Conservatives have terrible media literacy.

Completely shocked by the sudden loss of Catherine O’Hara, one of the funniest and most talented people on this planet. As a massive fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I couldn't think of a better send off than her performance of Sally's Song.

One of a kind. She and Eugene Levy were such a great comedy team in so many Christopher Guest films and SCHITT'S CREEK. And of course, her role in HOME ALONE is gonna live forever every Christmas RIP.

i talked to the lead designer for Seance of Blake Manor, one of my favorite mystery games of last year. it's not as brain-destroying as something like Blue Prince and that's very much by design. you can walk away and come back to it, for example www.mothership.blog/seance-of-bl...

grab a few small beers and get after those beavers

Watched this video and it legitimately rocks that this dude is better at the game after playing for 30 minutes than I was after 12 hours because he knows actual climbing technique youtu.be/VFBZQ7FeA8U?...

The worst thing about making a really yummy meal and then having the leftovers the next day is that now I want more of that yummy meal and there’s none left.

I’ve watched and enjoyed more hockey in the past week watching the first 3 seasons of Shoresy than I probably have in my entire life. That penultimate episode of Season 3 hit a wee bit too close to home for this boy though. Oof. #SetTheTone

I really love how this new cohort of audience-funded sites are so clearly designed with readers in mind, rather than advertisers. It loads so quickly! It's so clean! It's a website I want to actually use and spend time with!

I miss my kids. Took me 45 minutes to clear that while I watched folks down the street with their snowblowers. At least now I can go collapse in a puddle for the rest of the day.

Canada could do the funniest thing now and resurrect the Avro Arrow

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Made a neat fidget toy today and it not only worked, but has a coooool surprise…. after dark….

Just so everyone is aware, as a promotion in 1984, Wendy's produced terrifying, photorealistic carboard masks of Clara Peller, aka the "Where's the Beef?" lady

Why do the ai generated people always seem to be screaming? Probably not worth thinking about that. I'm sure it's fine.
