This isn't funny--lighting engines only do this when they're in extreme distress

really dig this from mikhail, illustrates why I push back against people who would like marathon to be some other kind of game. form follows function! the narrative themes and gameplay genre inform one another! it is a work with a coherent vision!

What a great Oscars year for Warner Brothers. I'm sure the creative future of that institution must be secure, let me just take a big sip and open the trades...

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

how do we get the youths into religion?

After playing the demo, I'm now very excited for the next game from the Spiritfarer devs

Truly a perfect news alert

The current "AI" boom is a real monkey's paw situation for young Will, who was so into theories of mind, generative systems, and the hard problem of consciousness, since all the worst, most boring people in the world have dominated the conversation

Finally, a village blacksmith that I can coax into erotic roleplay

Charlie needs her emotional support kong while papá is away at GDC

I'll be around GDC for the first couple days of the week! Mostly at the Xbox showcase and not the main floor, unfortunately, but in the area and also at Day of the Devs, if you want to say hi

Sometimes I don't mind being pandered to

You fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. Look at it. It's got anxiety.

(The Aristocrats voice): The Democrats!

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

Control Resonant seems extremely cool

Hahaha holy shit

"The Corporations don't intrinsically have souls, but they've got rights. The only corpo that contained a soul was Costco - the only one born with a soul. The Chamber of Commerce was empty, you see. These things are just vessels. That's why I'm going to destroy them. Because I hate them."

Caligula has talked an awful lot about existing since the morning of the world until the last star falls from the night, but when it comes to the rising price of fruits and vegetables, his silence speaks volumes.

The Voyager FTL-like game is neat, but it mostly makes me really want a Babylon 5 management sim

I really enjoyed this conversation back at the start of January, and the demo I played is available now as part of Steam Next Fest

look at this nerd

you, too, can now play the demo of the Game I Can’t Stop Talking About

Nothing in the world is less fair than Bruce Lee dying young and Chuck Norris living to 200

Halt and Catch Fire is so cool--I wish computers were real

This was a fun interview! Reanimal is very cool, as are its devs

What other game has Northernlion, Rivers Cuomo, and Greg Sestero from The Room? That's value
