Had a lovely afternoon reading this great little review, learning about a game I had never heard of, then playing said game. Games writing! It's good! (And so is "It Takes a War")

It's not like this solves all the problems or whatever, but it's really nice to see. Just run on policies that aren't hateful and actually help working people! Don't suck off the fucking billionaires! Be cool! That's it! That's all the "lessons that need to be learned"!

Love this little animation of Shu pinching himself in Silent Hill F. The pulled corner of his mouth, the way his skin bounces back. Just a fun little well-observed moment.

marie and i also were excited to finally merge health insurances after we got married and after 5 extended phone calls and multiple rounds of documentation our best option was to triple what we were paying before, so now we don't have health insurance at all. swag

End of the saga (hopefully): we pulled the trigger and put me on Annie's health insurance last week, which is good because I just got my new rate and it jumped up literally $150 a month (from $450 to $600). Also at that rate it still cost $50 every time I went to therapy lmao

🌸NEW VID🌸 Silent Hill f almost drove me insane with how much there is to talk about. EVERY detail led to a rabbit hole of research, but what I kept coming back to is how it's a game about the curses in our blood... curses both supernatural AND societal.

This seems outrageously cruel. And just a handful of months before these folks would have been set to enjoy the release of one of the biggest games of their careers too. The imbalance of power in the games industry remains utterly fucked.

The "don't talk about social issues" strategy only works if you *admit that was your strategy after the fact*. We're in this doom loop where Democrats try something, gaslight themselves into believing they didn't try it, then decide to try it again.

New layer: My monthly payment might go up next year, because that's happening to everyone. Maybe it'd make sense to be added to my wife's plan after all. EXCEPT: -Her enrollment period (when she could add me) ends Oct. 31 -I can't even see how much my 2026 yearly payment will cost until Nov. 1

Ninja Gaiden 4 was one of my most anticipated games of the year and I'm not playing it in accordance with the BDS Microsoft boycott, and it turns out that actually nothing bad happens to you if you don't play a video game.

i do love remakes!!!! to connect with the child self by effectively time traveling and re-experiencing what sparked my creativity and shaped me into who i am today is frankly ass compared to playing it with realistic graphics.

For years, Tony Yacenda's "American Vandal" has been my favorite Netflix show, but I never watched "Players," his eSports follow-up. Found out it was all on an official YouTube playlist. Blasted through it in 3 days. Phenomenal.

Still thinking about this. I know its not a big award in the industry generally but given what I set put to do with the Citizen Sleeper series it feels special to have it recognised in this way 🙏

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

The messiness of Consume Me is one of the things I admire most about it. You kinda expect its themes to neatly coalesce, to get closure on all the threads it starts, but it chooses to be true-to-life rather than neatly wrap up.
