I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

I love your game. You can‘t imagine how much @kanaratron.bsky.social Now replay on PlayStation.

just one more thing… happy new year!

Zohran Mamdani is now the mayor of New York City, so, naturally, I wrote about Promise Mascot Agency. www.polygon.com/mamdani-gras...

I've seen a few people posting stuff along the lines of "2026 is the year I'm going to read more!" My friend, don't pressure yourself. Even as an author, I say this: Read better, not more. Read what you love, stop reading something that isn't working for you. Don't aim for more, aim for pleasure.

I mean, she's not wrong #ofthedevil

The image we’ve all been waiting for. It is now officially 2026 in Tokyo 🎉

Demons buried! 🍶✨ Happy new year friends! I hope 2026 is real good to you, that you get to chase some dreams and have a few laughs 💖

Rounding off 2025 by making toso, a sort of spiced sake drink that's part of a New Year's Day good luck ritual The name refers to burying (or slaughtering) demons, which feels like a good way to start any year tbh (yes I learned about it from Persona 4)

From the new Katamari Damacy game’s Steam page. Ummm… I guess they both kinda involve fat rolling?

Holy shit this is so cool 🤯 Promise Mascot Agency listed in IGN Japan's best game music of the year With a LOT of exceptionally kind words about the game, and the music 💖 Insane to be mentioned alongside a stack of my own ULTRA MEGA FAVOURITES

reminder that Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a New Years game

In the new year (and you aren't doing so already) consider visiting your local library, checking out a few books, and seeing everything else they have to offer

Thanks for making my 2025 real cool! 💖 Very grateful for the cool stuff I got to work on with the best people, super jazzed about what 2026 will bring And *HUGELY* thankful for all the kindness and support shown to me and my music - it means everything to me Happy new year! 🎉🍾💖🥂✨

I am genuinely worried at the amount of performative puritanism has been spurred by Horses. (Again, Horses contains nothing that wouldn't fly in an M-rated movie) A whole lot of people echoing variants of 'Maybe free speech has been too free lately'.

"a stellar, period-piece soundtrack that's really creative" 🥰 Man oh man, I love seeing Promise Mascot Agency on cool GOTY lists by cool people And when the music gets a mention? OH MY HEART JUST MELTS. Thank you! 💖💖💖💖 (whole video - and channel - is a banger btw)

Unfeasibly excited about putting up new calendars Family one for the kitchen, work one for my studio, cute moon one for fun 🌛

Finally worked out what colour to paint my Sulking Room.

Another day another flute This little guy just arrived fresh from Kyoto, a beautiful shinobue 😍

Having a rattle at of the Devil and ohhhh it is very, very good Real grimy cyberpunk noir, Ace Attorney vibes with a poker twist ALL THE GOOD STUFF ♥️♠️♦️♣️🔪

RIGHT time to finally play through all the Silent Hill f endings And as good excuse as any to post this taishō cover again

Atari Games Producer Jason Polansky finished... *counts*.... 32 games this year. 🤯 "Easily the toughest year to choose, but I had to go with ones that I felt were the full package. Pinky from Promise Mascot Agency is the best character of the year, securing a spot for the under-appreciated gem."

Creating the illusion of complexity by layering up a few simple elements, is one of my favourite things to tackle.

Gonna take you on an express train to Pound Town with these bad boys.

Man, getting used to this new shakuhachi is HARD But practising is fun ✨

This is SUCH a great record, Artisan by Tats Yamashita 🎨✨ Not as iconic as For You, or as funky as Spacy, but equally excellent in a different way The whole thing feels more experimental, more intricate, more personal, and the production has this dreamy, interstellar sheen A BANGER

Had to come up with some quick hero names for a board game campaign and turned to Scottish place names for help... Kinclaven the Barbarian Gellyburn the Dwarf Alyth the Elf Findo Gask the Wizard

Yes, phone, I guess eating a nachosaurus WAS a prehistoric adventure

This year I bought a cute fountain pen with sparkly inks, and every Sunday I hand-write a letter to a loved one.

Good morning~😉 朝かららくがき

I swear there are games that are just tailor-made for me, and this is one of them. The humor mixed with serious topics and wholesome ideas, the weird ass play style that's a little chaotic, improving a town little by little, CRANE GAMES, and the soundtrack being top tier Just 10/10 perfect

Promise mascot agency I was blown away when I heard this music as it was incredible throughout. Full of wonderful Japanese inspired tracks, it is filled with such originality that it fits into the world perfectly and made the experience so much more memorable. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

rage in slow motion

The wonderful game director of Alan Wake 2 confirmed the first time this conspiracy went around that it is completely untrue. Sweet Baby Inc is a Narrative & Writing company and the backlash against our team has only ever been rooted in paranoid racism. Tell your friends. I’m tired of this shit.
