It is, perhaps, not my “favorite” but I adore When Marnie Was There and think it’s an extremely underrated Ghibli film. The accompanying album, Just Know That I Love You, (by Priscilla Ahn) is also fantastic.

DDDDD

The Sucker Punch employee should get a bag too

If you asked a nation of games developers whether it's rude to "assume you understand what the player wants more than the player does", you would spark a civil war.

“Hi hey hi dad hey so I know you’re trying to be productive and look for jobs and stuff but what if instead of that I just get up into your face and space and demand ALL your attention”

1000xResist, a game by theater nerds, and an all time banger

thank you for including me in this piece. lots of cool folks here. www.gamesindustry.biz/a-decade-on-...

very little is more fun than horrifying somebody who didn't know what mill was who then learns about my preferred MTG archetype

Eris is NOT happy that her beloved tree is being put away

Moss in the backyard of my family home. It’s crazy to think that this moss is probably from the same “family” of moss that I used to run my hands against as a kid. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract

Group of young nephews wanders by talking about punching someone in the nuts. Me: “Hey, who are we punching in the nuts?” “Uh, our dads” Me: “oh cool, carry on.”

Some real Cave Johnson “When life gives you lemons” energy going on here

Me, pantsless, to the employees of the Home Depot paint department

I have to believe that we can push back against AI without resorting to borrowing tactics from the conservative Christian abstinence playbook.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.

If you are watching FNAF2 and you aren’t sitting next to a teen infodumping on the lore of the franchise the entire time then you are doing it wrong.

House of Leaves

16 RANDOM IMAGES / BITS / SCENES I LOVED IN 2025 MOVIES 1. Basically every damn time we cut back to this dance scene in “Companion”

Me 2026 etc

Fuck 2025

Tomorrow comes.

For those of you wanting to start a new project in the new year but afraid you're gonna suck, heed the words of the ancient texts:

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

No internet for our family for the next year, apparently

magic: the gathering arena players are like

gave myself 40 heart attacks making this 🌙 🐍

I've waited 3 years to make this post

I’m excited to see what he does, but my secret hope is he manages to sneak at least one episode written Darin Morgan and/or Vince Gilligan in there somewhere.

This interview is fantastic, and proposes an amazing idea: dump indie as a descriptor and bring back calling things underground instead.

Received a head-nod from Joe Manganiello while washing my hands in a WotC bathroom

This should absolutely be a thing, even if it’s just an emote

I wrote my dissertation on the history of hardboiled fiction and I’m really getting a kick out of the reversal of rian johnson bringing christie cosy cat mysteries back to America as a rebuke on US libertarianism

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

Want to feel ancient? Their oldest kid is 15 now.

Gonna wait for the final episode to drop before I gather my thoughts on Stranger Things season 5, but I will say this: BIG fan of everything to do with the fate of the BMW. I kinda wish they had pulled that cord earlier in the series.

Hire Jason! He has great taste in games and understands asset production pipelines extremely well and is fabulous to work with.

Facebook comments are generally a cesspool, but this one, on a story about the success of James Gunn’s DC films, delighted me

“Wanna come over and play on my computer? I have Doom”

We got the kid Slime Rancher 2 digitally for Christmas. I drew a (terrible) cover so they’d have something to unwrap. “Why didn’t you use AI?” Great question, glad you asked - because the making it is the fun part. I also knew my artist kid would find this cover hilarious.

When I was a kid my grandmother started a xmas tradition of “Santa” coming to visit every year (adults would take turns being Santa). All the children have grown, and Oma has passed, but we’ve kept up the tradition. This year, my 10 year old nephew wanted to be Santa. He nailed it.

Holiday break plans:

People are harshing on some “diverse reading challenge” thing that’s going around, and I get it, but looking at what you read and asking yourself “what isn’t represented here?” is imo a good and healthy practice

“Subtext is for cowards” is an amazing and accurate way to sum up Zack Snyder’s oeuvre.

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

Absolutely gutting.

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

Bagel is obviously a huge part of my special Night Thoughts. She passed between recording and air, & Hulu was kind enough to let us add a dedication to her at the end, to include her in all the marketing (bottom left of poster) & give her an actual credit on the special. Bagel forever and ever.

It’s not the holidays until you’ve baked a gjallerdoodle for Zavala and some peanut butter paw prints for Archie.
