A game where anything could be a battle and where the names of your moves carry meaning. In a land infused by the hatred of a dead tyrant, four travelers will kill a noble, accidentally crown a King, and kill the Moon. It doesn't have a name yet, so I'm still calling it "JRPG Game". #TeaseYaGame

Indie Game Roundup (December 16, 2025) virtualmoose.org/2025/12/16/i...

'christmas vacation' has a can-you-believe-this part at the end where cousin eddy kidnaps clark’s boss to demand his bonus, and i wonder if the filmmakers realized that angry mobs threatening rich people to give them gifts and lavish parties at christmas has a robust historical lineage

It’d be funny if she pivoted to leading astroturf movements that *opposed* her clients, knowing that it’d drum up support for them. (Not funny to see her getting paid, but funny to see her being shameless about it.)

The fun part of writing Christine Taxi with @conmaned.bsky.social was coming up with Twitter-length justifications for murder. Check it out! #Pico8 #Freegame postgoodism.itch.io/christine-taxi

I just released an OLD SCHOOL TEXT ADVENTURE! It's part of a yearly holiday collection of games that release one game a day until Christmas day -- an Advent Calendar of Games if you will! Have fun playing! MAD SCIENTIST Adventure! #interactivefiction #textadventure #pico8

When trade deals were getting rushed through laden with impossible commitments and major issues to be negotiated later, I wrote about why they made me nervous. Womp womp, as the kids say. My full article: www.explaintrade.com/resources/im...

aka most people don’t use their insurance

Why do we have to pick just one?

An entire generation lost, toiling in the content mines, producing content of worsening yield and decaying quality, only to be replaced by robots capable of reaching true rock bottom.

Yesterday I blocked two people who separately quote-tweeted this, sneering that EMS departments can’t build software. That is classist horseshit, exactly the attitude that got us in this situation.

What’s the opposite of doing something half-assed that still results in failure? Like, getting it wrong because you put twice as much ass into something.

ok fine, 50+ indie games. All on Itch, which does not take a 30% cut and subject developers to the worst community imaginable 1. Landlord Quest Short adventure game where you can see a landlord eat shit. Buying on Itch gives you files to run in ScummVM on everything katbrush.itch.io/landlordquest

I’d say he could be back to leaning, because he may no longer remember months ago.

Those looking for a little festive treat (that's also a bit spooky) should check out the entire Madvent Calendar series. hauntedps1.itch.io Each one is 24 bite-sized winter-themed games, unlocked one a day during the month. A delicious little morsel of videogame creativity to brighten the day.

A reminder that my free deduction/horror/parser game KINOPHOBIA is now available in its final, more polished version. Explore a haunted movie studio; research its history; identify the wretched souls trapped by a curse inscribed in celluloid. brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia

The best social media posts are the ones you don’t write.

Ever dream of being a space delivery pilot? I am so happy how the first person pilot view turned out on this one. @petermjgross.bsky.social could only use a limited amount of words for this comp entry and did an amazing job! Give Thursday in Space a spin! #indiedev #interactivefiction

You guys you will get exposed to so many more games that will permanently alter your brain chemistry and inspire you if you look beyond "critic's choice" and blockbusters, and start digging into the "6/10s", the random itch.io game with no reviews, the thing with all the jank and wild ideas.

My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”

If SCOTUS lawlessly overturns birthright citizenship, and the country wants it back it will have to pass a Constitutional Amendment and that Amendment would say the exact same thing the 14th Amendment says.

“legal experts say,” but also legal novices are saying it as well as legal journeymen

Antifa is headquartered, rent free, in these guys' minds.

these are all great games but I want to give a shoutout to Manglepaw, which perfectly emulates the style of 90's first person point-and-click adventures resnijars.itch.io/manglepaw

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Good riddance to an absolute clown of a School Board member.

Shufflecomp 2025 is starting soon! This is a musical interactive fiction competition where you first submit songs, and then make games based on songs submitted by other entrants. Song entries and signups close on December 15. https://itch.io/jam/shufflecomp-2025 #interactivefiction #gamedev […]

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Trump Appears To Doze During Stroke

New type of guy just dropped: The one asking if this liquor store sells Trump wine. 🙄

Trump just attacked a woman reporter for the sixth time in the span of a month.

🎶You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend And you say he's just a friend, oh baby🎶

The idea of a DVD being "a copy of your favorite movie/TV show that YOU own forever" probably sounds like the ultimate cheat code to the generation who has only know the streaming ecosystem and, as such, more aware of its shortcomings.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF ERNIE FROM SESAME STREET! (Seriously, though, the Richmond Christmas parade was pretty fun.)

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

two kinds of gamers: the ones who love Star Control 2 more than anything, and the ones who never played it

“Democrats need to abandon trans rights to win” is a mirror image of the message that WOULD win: “Republicans ran on affordability, then passed the largest tax hike in history and made your healthcare costs triple. Now they’re obsessing over trans people, like they’ve solved all the real problems?”

"The increasingly illegitimate Supreme Court" needs to be the primary way Democrats refer to SCOTUS. Every single time a conservative justice gets named, mention their crimes, like Clarence Thomas being a corrupt sex pest and Brett Kavanaugh being a rapist with gambling debts.

You threaten court packing in 2029. You settle for an amendment to fix terms at 18 years that has the three most senior judges retire immediately.

do you think a lower court judge has ever taken a swing at alito at, like, a judge party. are there judge parties or are there just parties you invite a conservative judge to for the ruling you want

Amazing how quickly his ear healed compared to his hand

"We’re stuck in a sort of mass political psychosis: with pundits and strategists advising Democrats to compromise on their most powerful and popular issue and Democrats acquiescing—forever hedging their language and refusing to go on offense." jessica.substack.com/p/abortion-b...

I know that asshole’s name is “Mark Wayne,” but you will never stop me from pronouncing it as “mar-KWAN-yay”

The only things more disappointing than my local school board officials are the people who keep voting for them.

a fun thing from a class I'm guest teaching tomorrow: which of these will turn out OK for you, and which will be a disaster? (they're all from a single Chinese city between 2010 and 2022)

It's fucking crazy to me that Keith Olbermann is out here posting about Olivia Nuzzi like "haha funny thing, I used to date her, it's crazy" as if this current shitshow has nothing to do with him. Here's Nuzzi in 2013 glazing Olbermann in writing while dating him www.huffpost.com/entry/msnbc-...
