Forgot to type -AI for a conversation I'm having with my mum and... billions in investment.

Quote this with what you would have said your game of the millennium was on the eve of 999 anno Domini, and what you would say your favorite game is now

They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969)

December 20th. A partially rubberised torso stands on the corner of Edward Street and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing.

You do not, in fact, gotta hand it to the war crimes manufacturer for making a nice handheld gaming device.

The belief that politics is for wonks and weirdos and not something that dictates how every one of us lives our lives is one of the most toxic things in nerd culture and it needs to die yesterday Covering this product like this is unconscionable.

Interested in game-writing? In early 2026 we'll be publishing a kaleidoscope: short articles by 100+ game writers - experts, freelancers, and juniors - about the craft. ~1/3 of them are in: multiple bangers, from some very famous names and games. Sign up to be notified when it's ready here:

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

Please do not purchase Luck be a Landlord on Xbox. I will be making a $10,000 donation to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund to (hopefully) help offset the revenue the game has generated for Microsoft.

Okay please let's not call him that

Can somebody help us get over $1,000? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybj1...

The BTS footage from the No Surprises video but with slightly less drowning.

This is a great idea so I had a go with some things I had around the house…

It's actually making me angry now how hard it is to find people talking negatively about this. It's really bad! One of the very first information posters has a fucking stock photo still covered in watermarks on it, everything else is so very clearly AI generated that I stopped trusting anything 2D

Holy crap, the tweet is still up??

This is devastating. One of my favourite games of the year, To a T is a beautiful slice-of-life narrative with some of the best disability messaging I’ve seen in games. Please play it!

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Dick Van Dyke making it to 100 really does take the edge off Kissenger also doing so.

THE MOTHERFUCKER DID IT Happy 100 to The DVD 🎉✨🪩

many are saying the child is haunted. this is unfair. you can't say he's haunted just because i've started seeing him no matter what window i look out of, every time just a little bit closer

IWGB: "Rockstar’s latest statement is littered with falsehoods and disinformation - they have given multiple, conflicting reasons to explain why the workers were fired, as if attempting to reverse engineer a rationale for the dismissals. Once again, they have chosen to mischaracterise... 1/3

I will not be watching The Game Awards tonight. I encourage you not to as well. If you'd like to support developers, watch their trailers online and wishlist their games (or pre order!) We do not have to participate in Geoff's love letter to capitalism. You do not "have to hand it to him."

Hey all! I know from personal experience the holidays can suck. Until Jan 10th, if you sign up to the Quinns Quest Patreon with the code 239CE, you get 90% off, which is the most I can discount. I make $0, the final 10% is Patreon's cut 🎄🎁❄️ www.patreon.com/qquest

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

If Rockstar has any actual evidence to show to the class, now might be a good time. 🌱

Keir Starmer was told at school that dealers lace weed with heroin and still thinks it’s true.

We settled for The Tribunal and it was *so* good that I'm gonna start finding spots to get LARP content on Quinns Quest.

Glad at least to have a game discourse kicked off by Ian Bogost and not that one blogger who writes 20,000 word articles.

Reading up on the Woodcraft Folk today and, welI I don’t have any kids, but if you do and are looking for a non Guide/Scout group to send them to FOR WHATEVER REASON, this might be a good shout. woodcraft.org.uk

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨ You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment. This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Ok, Nearly the end of the year, and 6 months since Highrook was released! I wrote a little postmortem, covering some nerdy production info and my thoughts on what it was like to be an indie in the last few years. www.nullpointer.co.uk/game-post-mo...

The Confounding Calendar has returned! Each day this month there'll be a new small puzzle game at confoundingcalendar.itch.io I really enjoyed the second game, Midwinter Springtime by pap4qlxxlevb: pap4qlxxlevb.itch.io/midwinter-sp...

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

What are games that evoke a powerful sense of place for you? Games like Kentucky Route Zero (central appalachia), Night in the Woods (northern appalachia), Norco (greater new orleans), 1000xresist (post-protest hong kong), etc - I'm curious what these are for you!

Using Vinicius’ lovely comment to remind people that if you have used one of my games in teaching then please do let me know because: A) it’s really nice to hear and makes my day B) it helps me in my argument to allow interactive mediums as submissions for academic work

I keep getting Youtube prerolls for Gemini and every single one is just "look at this ugly video I can generate for absolutely no purpose". Elephants that look like watermelon? Pandas wearing "high fashion"? They've fully given up on pretending this stuff has an application other than jingling keys.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

incredible quote lol

New Quinns Quest review is a boxed RPG special! 📦✨ I dunno folks, I think running RPGs out of 400 page hardback books might be dumb and bad

there's discourse today about using ai to write npc dialogue, and I don't wanna join the quote chain, but like. writing dialogue in games is one of my favourite parts... I've done 100% dialogue games before it rules. why deprive yourself of expression

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

Has anyone made riffs/rip offs/I'll take anything clearly, of Device 6? AFAIK is is much much easier now to make a game in that form than when Simogo did it 13 (💀) years ago.

hi everyone. while the industry's still hellbent on calling anyone who makes /weird/ games "not a real dev" @baftagames.bsky.social decided that maybe people making things with three quid and a piece of string know what they're talking about, actually i'm part of bafta breakthrough 2025

Heading to Adventure X on my Sunday only ticket so looking forward to speaking to a bunch of people who got completey wiped out yesterday. Say hello, I'm the person who looks like they spent yesterday doing crafts and then got a good night's sleep.
