losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

I can't stop thinking about the home in No Other Choice

Haven't done an EX on content since end of Endwalker. Glad we got to learn and clear enough times for a weapon turn in! 🎉

I soy cured some ikura last night and while it's not perfect it's still plenty tasty and I'm happy to try doing more in the kitchen again!

Got myself a zojirushi skillet since I've been wanting one since college and it was nice to make some hotpot in it to start off the year. 🍲 Sinigang hotpot is next on the list to try and make!

i ache and swell in a hundred places, but mostly in the middle of my heart

I wish I had flatback studs for my earrings when I was growing up. I probably wouldn't have needed to get repierced twice if I did! Love how comfy they are to sleep with as I contemplate my next ear piercings. ✨️

Some folks told me wishing for a quiet Christmas was foolish because I work on a live title, but I had one! I'm so thankful!

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Hoping I can muster up the energy to catch up on FFXIV and HSR story content even though I'm several patches behind on both. 🤞🏼

The genocide is ongoing. Don't stop talking about Palestine.

Working this week

I deeply want some games journo deep-diver to figure out what the absolute hell is going on with Cookie's Bustle. I want a full exposé on whatever freak is doing this. I'm sensing drama on Tallarico levels here

Gifted myself one of my most coveted albums and got to support one of my favorite local shops. 🎶

I can't tell if it was because we watched the new Avatar film in 2D or a quirk of the theater we saw it at, but the frame rate kept shifting from 24fps to 60fps which ended up feeling incredibly jarring. Enjoyed the movie though!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Had fun playing the new FFXIV raid tier on patch day with friends! Can't wait to sink some more time into making new glams as well.

I was getting a bit bummed out over my year end summaries because I felt like it meant I wasn't spending enough time on the things I enjoyed until I reminded myself that the time I've spent having fun and living my life are not always easily quantified or tracked digitally.

In case you missed it, here’s the Resshoumania V Opening video I edited. I’ve always had fun mixing guilty gear characters with real world settings, and felt it would work with the city funk vibes from the song. This was a lot of work to put together, but I’m super proud with how it turned out!

'A Normal Lost Phone', 'Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story' & 'Alt-Frequencies' are getting delisted on January 30th 2026. They are currently on sale for less than a $1. store.steampowered.com/news/app/523...

2025 was a helluva year. Published some of the best work I’ve ever done, but still going into 2026 on the job market. So check out my website and keep me in mind if you find yourself needing a writer/producer/editorial multi-hyphenate. Happy Holidays!!! www.mattkimwrites.com

i did not have straight people in mind when i made this game

Happy birthday @cloudstrife420.bsky.social ! 🎂

Spent part of today's day off thinking of my next ear piercings even though my current ones have not fully healed yet 🙈

"You can make your very own Glup Shitto" was not what I was expecting to hear on the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted today.

Planning to give Qobuz a try - anyone here using it? I intend to give the trial a shot, but would appreciate hearing how folks feel about their selection/offerings.

Today was a bittersweet day, but I'm glad to see things go out with a bang rather than a whimper.

We are at the point in the year where I need to turn on the heated pad for Kirby and the heated blanket for me to get through the work day. 🥶

Finally done with all Indiana Jones and the Great Circle achievements again! Decided to not go for the NG+ ending after learning that was the only new thing they added to NG+.

Deeply regret not doing the Indiana Jones DLC before starting NG+. Now I gotta blast through a bunch of chapters to get an upgrade to get the final collectible for the last achievement. 🤦‍♀️

Buying a king-sized comforter for my queen-sized bed as been one of the best purchases this year. I should have done this ages ago.

I got four piercings this week and I think my earlobes are still a little mad at me. 💀

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Pick a Random Game option on Playnite is really helping me just play things instead of wasting time deciding what to play.

Great video that really highlights an issue with games writing: Gender is usually just a cosmetic toggle that doesn't actually change anything. Although screaming morons online still somehow get angry about it. But Persona 3 Portable went all-in on having femininity change the whole tone of it.

We've added 100 new CDs to our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine, with thousands of pieces of game art, screenshots, and more So, what's the GamePro press CD collection? We put together an explainer

Reflecting on how it's been over two years since I stopped being in friendships that made me feel "too much" or small. Proud of myself for choosing myself and being around people I can grow with, not stagnate. I am grateful for having people in my life who show up for me as much as I do for them. 💖

Today was a very comic book themed day between the Cape & Cowl 10th anniversary and a Superhero themed birthday party we attended afterwards. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️
