Appelez l'ambulance! Mais pas pour moi!

Started playing DESKTOP EXPLORER based on a recommendation from @lucyjames.games / @lookingfor.game and it's very, very good. I'm a few hours in and have to get back to work (that kind of week/end), but I'm looking forward to solving the next set of puzzles!

just finished desktop explorer and it was a fascinating journey that produced a lot of mixed but strong feelings. a really ambitious game with heart and thought poured into it, am down to do a full review but we live in games media hell rn so you should just get it and play it yourself!

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

wanted to note that desktop explorer is a Latino made game, and very proud of this tight knit crew

I went to Riot Games HQ back during SGF and went hands-on with Riftbound: Vendetta! I also got a ton of insight from senior designer Jon Moormann, so I wrote *two* articles: 1. Why Kennen, Akali, and Jayce were chosen as the first opposite domain ambassadors: www.ign.com/articles/ven...

don't sleep on desktop explorer, folks

Desktop Explorer features among the most complex puzzles I have ever played. They are also deeply rewarding. Solved through a fakeOS interface, its eerie atmosphere while uncovering the mystery of your late uncle creeps in masterfully. A must-play for puzzle fans. Here's my last review this week.

got a regular gig at a travel site, done some freelance editing, written for a smattering of games sites, and got a big long term project that’s under wraps right now, but I’m still free and open and ready to write about culture and travel and games and theme parks for money. get in touch.

Desktop Explorer release times

A great review about a wonderful indie releasing tomorrow, of which I'm highly anticipating: Desktop Explorer. Give it a read! ❤️

England finally remembered who they are 🫡

i NEED to read whatever this story is

telling my wife about "Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy", she seems very interested and engaged with this information "The Mindgate Conspiracy? That's crazy", she syas

nothing says 2026 like the weather network warning me of a possible tornado/severe thunderstorm, the sky being a dull orange in the interim, and the temperature estimated to feel like 40 - all as the backdrop to me absolutely hammering this spreadsheet for the shareholders 🤘let's get this bread 🍞

i will watch the odyssey the way god intended: on the back part of an airplane headrest

he puts me through so much bullshit man

ready to be doing this for the next year+ in riftbound

not having @jurge.site at work to understand my extremely niche jokes is really taking a toll on my mental, get well soon king

there are varying degrees of chronically online and there's definitely a sweet spot

Argentina vs England you say

Lamentation (flipped, detail), by Gerard David, 1515-23, 📸 by Roberto Schmidt

the amount of aura loss England is capable of achieving even when they win needs to be studied

foi nesse momento que ele viu seu guardião espiritual, seu avatar divino, que o destino foi escrito

the one guy on england who actually wants to win keeps forcing them through, smh just let that country fade away from this world cup

when i was younger i thought i'd be saying "all according to plan" a lot more than i do as an adult. another of life's disappointments

at the age now where when i stretch i make the super mario 64 whomp noise

I’ve felt weird talking about it cuz I’m just a freelancer, I’ve written various versions of this post before deleting But I’ve also been affected by the commerce layoffs at GameSpot and, as always, could use more work. I still have some time for appts during SDCC, and for reviews, previews etc.

is it pre-rift weekend yet

So I decided to write about how a particularly heinous incident that happened earlier this year and the ongoing Valko mess has caused me to end my relationship with Love and Deepspace www.gamespot.com/articles/im-...

Big Walk Big Walk. BIG WALK! big walk Big. Walk.

Devastated for my former GameSpot colleagues who deserve much, much better than Fandom’s (and Red Ventures’ and CBS Interactive’s) poor leadership and short-sightedness.

Welp. My entire team at Gamespot has been fired, so I'm more available than usual for freelance work. Also affiliate revenue consulting for anyone who wants to actually make money off of commerce content.

does someone telling you they found 2024's The Substance "funny" better qualify them to be a CEO? 🤔

star-crossed during the entirety of Riftbound's Vendetta preview season so far

Pentiment was such a blessing

i'd like to sincerely apologize for missing the mark with the satire in this post. the lack of clarity and purpose has led to it being mistaken for and contributing to that which it intended to criticize. i've since learned how the pyramids were built: very carefully

messi committed to winning the golden boot ethically (no penalties converted) is why he's the best to ever do it

watching the Riftbound community criminally underrate an obviously powerful card in preview season. the cycle continues (Twilight Shroud is very strong and people are very confused about the impact the Flow mechanic has for a card)

wife left the country 6 hours ago and is now on a 12 hour overnight delay while i've become extremely ill. we are clearly not meant to be apart

Power couple both went 3-1 at the Pitch Black prerelease. I opened Dhelmise and never had to rub two brain cells together while @shinycaseyd.bsky.social played Miraidon unbelievably well. Love this game! (And my wife)

how to oneshot 95% of media discourse

Should’ve known they were gonna do something when they blew up their own fucking stadium in the last home game before the World Cup

Beautiful

is it stolen valor to have an 11am airport cocktail when you're only picking up your wife and not actually flying

nothing quite so devastating as spending two hours deep cleaning your bathroom and immediately upon finishing needing to take a cataclysmic poop
