40 Years of Zelda! Temple of Time made in 2022

Óró Mo Bháidín is such a banger

nice

The big ROMchip stream starts in under an hour, funding the premier open-access all-readers journal of game histories! Tune in at 3 ET to see me play Cosmology of Kyoto, the 90s city-roamer of Heian creepypasta that genuinely warped my teenage brain and sent me to the Hell of Game Design Weirdness!

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

If you’re worried about the future of games, remember that your $ holds enormous sway. Support companies who actually care about the art and craft of making games, who put people first and value their employees & audiences. Support indies especially. The future doesn’t belong to greedy corporations

"imagine your studio making 'Under $100M'? How embarrassing!" bruh, I just want enough money from my games where I can reduce my day job hours and not worry about ending up living on the streets.

oh, I assumed this was Nintendo Switch Online but they're going to be straight up ports.

James Mielke writing a biography of Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu was not on my 2026 BINGO card but I'm so excited to read it later this year

17 days until GDC. Now that I'm committed to going I have a new sense or urgency and energy to keep hammering away on my game. Excited to share soon.

feeling some type of way about going to GDC and game events in general again after the pandemic and "the other site" exodus kinda decimated my network. looking forward to rekindling and rebuilding.

The amount of important things about games, industry, and life that I've learned from Brenda, following her career and work and advocacy and activism and mentorship and involvements from afar - but also the times we've crossed paths for work, is staggering. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I think it's safe to say that the technology that leftists want most is a fourth version of the Game Boy Advance

In this episode of Storycraft, I had the privilege of chatting with @remysiu.com about the @sunsetvisitor.studio team's performing arts background and how it influenced their work on 1000xRESIST.

Absolutely awful news. That team was so talented and seemed to work on banger after banger. We interviewed some of them for our Demon's Souls remake doc. I was so excited to see what they brought to life next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCBJ...

the Luddites were right

I don't think AI can do the job of a high school teacher because how is it gonna yell at students to get off their phones? Check. Mate.

I wrote about things to plan early for if you want your game to be Steam Deck verified: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

Every studio closure in the past few years has felt unjust and devastating in some way but Sony closing Bluepoint sure does feel a little more like a canary in the coal mine moment. Like this one, really? If Sony couldn't even move them back to remakes and remasters then what even is the play now?

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

OK, I am officially going to GDC this year for the first time in 5 years. I have a game I've been working on - that I'm kinda trying to promote and...I don't remember how to do anything. I feel lucky to get the discounted education pass. I hope to see some of you and make new friends. Any advice?

today is the day!!!

my students are funny. they don't turn anything in. Then progress reports go out showing they have an F. They quickly turn in a bunch of assignments and beg me to update their grade. Where is this sense of urgency BEFORE the progress report??

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Not sure the "left would hate AI" so much if it was all publicly owned and open source, limited to run on clean power sources without taxing the grid, nobody had to wage-slave to survive, and it was described a tool instead of a replacement for human autonomy, relationships and practical learning

what do you think the luddites would have thought about billionaires attempting to use AI to replace the vast majority of technical labor and white collar workers?

teacher's aide today brought me surprise longsilog breakfast! I'm so lucky!!!

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is just Animal Crossing: New Horizons but with more action and a bigger map.

Happy Lunar New Year. Wishing you a very lucky year of the Fire Horse, or as you Pokémaniacs call it, Rapidash

are you going to GDC? obviously it's a privileged position to be able to afford to go and not worry (as much) about your safety visiting the US. Feels weird when so many people are not in a position to attend. I'm on the fence. Haven't been since like 2019? What do you think?

RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. Here he is in the Japan-only Famicom/ NES Nintendo game America Daitouryou Senkyo: United State Presidential Race which was a game centered around the 1988 US presidential election.

FDT, but also TD voice: "They don't even let you say 'Happy Chinese New Year' anymore! Now we gotta say 'Happy LUNAR New Year.'"

It's incredibly fucked up that a weapons manufacturer can put out retro video game hardware and people will still buy it (while defending the company) when there are other alternatives available.

you see it with all the indie game developers over the past decade+ who used to live closer to the west side of LA (where all the big game studios and "Silicon Beach" tech jobs are) steadily migrating east, inland, for housing affordability.

I can't wait to see all the garbage games linkedIn "idea guys" are going to make www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/...

Majestic Realty, which is owned by Los Angeles Lakers & Kings co-owner & Republican donor Ed Roski Jr., is listed as the broker contact on the listing for a proposed $80M ICE detention facility. These globally recognized sports brands could suffer reputational damage. Time to boycott?

this douche recorded this with Meta glasses. Even more reason to punch him.

It's "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" Friday in my game design classes

IDK if it's because who I am mutuals with or what, but I get some WILD suggestive content in my bluesky Discover feed that I didn't ask for. No matter how much I click Block account or Show Less, feels like every other day something else shows up.

which games are you playing on the prison-approved PS2?

the fuck are we doing? close the camps!

Can't you hear it, Cloud? The sound of the planet screaming.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it
