The story of how Rebecca Heineman overcame corporate incompetence to develop the Doom 3DO port in two and a half months is incredible (via @bghof.com) www.badgamehalloffame.com/doom-3do/

It appears our beloved Rebecca Heineman has now passed on. She lived her life in such a way as to leave a trail of joy in her wake next to a long list of creative accomplishments. She was a fixture in many communities and a titan in games history. Becky was the best kind of person.

INCOMING CANON FIRE! A deep dive into the ABSOLUM, the latest from the Streets of Rage 4 team! I dig into how it evolves the arcade spirit of games like Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons beat-em-ups, its remix of fantasy tropes, and even its take on gender and identity. canonfire.net/post/7992333...

1982 was very early for Japanese adventure games, with only a small number of releases. Takara Building Adventure thus is one of the earliest adventure games in Japanese, but it was not generally available... ...until today. Includes some unexpected history! bluerenga.blog/2025/10/29/t...

On my website I now have a button if you want to share the site that way, created by my wonderful girlfriend @maidrobo.bsky.social!

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan. From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history. Link: youtu.be/F80Cl6WzBNo?... This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Skate & Date - lesbian roller derby, rhythm game is out now! Come get your yuri on wheels!! https://f.mtr.cool/scjlbborbl https://f.mtr.cool/ugehecznam (I've linked steam codes to itch.io so you can easily get it for both and have Valve take less money from me <3)

TIER (The online journal of games criticism) just published this conversation with me! www.tier-review.com/a-conversati... it was a lot of fun, deeply thoughtful, and i appreciate the opportunity to have chatted with them. #GameDev #GamesCrit

!!NEW VIDEO!! This time I cover Chunsoft’s Sound Novel franchise, a hugely important series in the history of Japanese video games that served as the progenitor to the visual novel genre and was a source of inspiration for all kinds of developers. WATCH - www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BT...

We played the ORIGINAL survival horror and watched the movie it was tied in with. We had a great time!

INCOMING CANON FIRE! A slice of life comedy about... being abandoned by your family. TALES FROM TOYOTOKI is surprisingly lighthearted, until it's not. Conbining real and magical history, it's a story about finding your place when you've been tossed aside. canonfire.net/post/7937752...

i reviewed NBA 2K26 for @endlessmode.bsky.social because someone had to while you're all playing silksong: www.endlessmode.com/article/comm...

Pleased to have such a thorough and thoughtful reflection on TIER, it really reflects the scale of what we can do!

when i replayed Repeat the Ending to write this piece, i thought about how there aren’t that many spaces these days to publish personal games without feeling unwelcome. everything is gazed upon with this “critical” eye that pathologizes or fawns over any vulnerability: bsky.app/profile/tier...

At this point think a statement is in order. Framing itch.io as anti-queer is genuinely maddening. Besides the horrific pressures exerted on it recently that every other company, including steam, has folded on far more harshly and thoughtlessly, Itch has bee nothing but supportive of queer games.

it was wonderful to come through and talk about this game, had a pretty good time even with a pretty poor translation

hate to ask but it's been a miserable week, and I've been hit with a lot of unexpected bills anything you can give would help me afford food next week www.paypal.com/paypalme/sie...

I do not like Date Everything, but it is so fascinating... I tried to work though just how weird this thing is.

the BDS requests on microsoft are extremely clear and also targeted. they aren't "uninstall windows now and change your entire life," they aren't even a huge ask for games media outside of like exclusive world of warcraft streamers. there is no reason for the near total silence other than shame

Didn't care enough to make a blog post, but here's my top 10 games I finished for the first time in 2024

We played Sonic 06 and it inspired the longest Abnormal Mapping in history! Me and Jackson spend nearly four hours going over the game, the Legacy of Solaris mod, and the way games get enshrined in culture. Please enjoy, I think this episode turned out great www.abnormalmapping.com/the-abnormal...

I wrote a post on how my language learning efforts went in 2024! The languages I studied this year: Japanese, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese umbrellaterms.neocities.org/posts/2024-1...

An aside, with no paywall, about something very important to us.

THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA IS BURNING! In today's entry of CANON FIRE I talk about TETRIS FOREVER! It's a game that presents as a documentary, but revises history with massive absences to instead valorize the company that sells Tetris. canonfire.net/post/7672235...

Wrote some quick thoughts on Piglet's Big Game, which has been getting lots of attention based on its similarities to Resident Evil and Silent Hill umbrellaterms.neocities.org/posts/2024-1...
