This is it. This is why the alarm about AI mostly ought to be a much much deeper and more urgent alarm about the completely broken social and cultural environment many of us live in now.

There have been harder times and worse times than the times we live in, but never more annoying times. This is hands down the most annoying of times

I'm so excited that it's finally time to reveal what I've been busy writing since January! 🐐🏔️ This is going to be something special and as a huge fan of Mundaun, folk horror and the Swiss Alps, I'm extremely happy to be a part of this 🤩

Inderwildi explores Mundaun's idiosyncratic aesthetic, delving into developer Michel Ziegler's artistic process – and how to translate Mundaun's iconic sketchwork from paper to pixel. Ziegler's sketches & concept art are complimented by the sleek design work of Nikki Duffet 📖

So excited for this! It's going to be a big book full of Mundaun. The good folk @lostincult.co.uk have come up with something striking. Should be pretty much a visual compendium of the process of how the game came to be. Preorder y'all!

Mundaun was one of the first Design Works books we talked about doing! I know this will end up being such a beautiful artifact, and I'm very glad that we can continue to work on and bring into existence things like this 🖤

Logging on for the first time in 4 months just to tell you: go play Promise Mascot Agency if you haven't already. It's something special.

You'd think "terrifying" and "cringe beyond words" would somehow cancel each other out, but no 😮‍💨

No other artist's work has been a fixture in my life for as long as David Lynch's has. I fell in love with it as a teenager and it has been a recurring obsession and a part of my life ever since. It feels wrong that he's gone.

With David gone we gotta pick up the slack. We all gotta get weirder

The sense of place in the Silent Hill 2 Remake is something else. Despite the surrealism and the emptiness, these places feel incredibly real and alive.

Hail Paimon?! 🫣

Finished the Silent Hill 2 Remake. I found it genuinely unnerving and terrifying even though I played SH2 before, but at the same time it was also a strangely nostalgic return to the very first game series that scared me shitless as a teen.

Listening to 900+ episodes of @knowledgefight.bsky.social did not prepare me for @theonion.com buying Infowars 🤣🤣🤣 what a turn of events

Very excited to finally dig into Vol 2 of All the Haunts Be Ours 😈

Finally, here's the first part in a small series of articles exploring the darker side of Baldur's Gate 3! 🌘 For this one, I played devil's advocate for Lady Shar and her cult and asked myself: Why are they like that, exactly? www.mashxtomuse.com/single-post/...

Life very much got in the way again, but now that I finally finished moving to a new flat, I finally found the time to finish the piece. You can expect to find a new essay on Mash X to Muse this weekend 👀

It's been a while, but I'm back and writing again! Next up in my game cosmology series: a deep-dive into the cosmological struggles of Baldur's Gate 3 and Lady Shar's war against light and existence itself.

Katzen-Content! ^_^ ...und andere Games-Lesetipps der Woche. U.a. mit Artikeln von @mashxtomuse.bsky.social und @joergluibl.bsky.social, sowie erstmals mit Videos von @nuclearnightmare.bsky.social. spielkritik.com/2024/01/26/l...

Meinen letzten Game Cosmology Artikel zu Pentiment gibt's jetzt dank @languageatplay.bsky.social und @tobiebb.bsky.social auch auf Deutsch zu lesen 🥳🙏 Vielen Dank euch!

Hallo @gamestudies.bsky.social. @paidia.bsky.social, @pachuki.bsky.social, @eugenpfister.bsky.social, @dioneira.bsky.social, @mashxtomuse.bsky.social! Wen haben wir vergessen? Wem sollten wir SOFORT folgen? 💗

I’m sorry it’s just so fucking funny that they built an entire AI just to give them the answer they wanted to this question and they couldn’t even do it

Samhain (2001) was a 1st person survival horror by a small team in Trecision, inspired by Deus Ex with a story mixing wicca, LGBT and folk horror. Also of inspiration was the town of Triora where the final European witch trials took place. A E3 demo was finished but no publisher was interested.

good afternoon (it is after midnight)

If you care too much, writing is hard. If you care too little, writing is hard. The art is finding the exact right level of not caring.
