2026 first impressions: This blows. (HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY)

Oh yeah it was my birthday today, I’m 26 now 🎈🎈🎈

Merry Christmas, everybody Don't get It's A Wonderful Life mixed up with Life is Beautiful

As an early birthday present (my birthday is in a week), I decided to make an investment

Longtime Persona 5 fan excited to finally play the game (🧵) #Persona5 #Persona5Royal

Should I get Elden Ring or Armored Core in the Steam sale

And now we wait for the reports of “nobody at Disney is using this” If it happened with Copilot it can happen here

Maybe one day I'll be able to fully move on from The Binding of Isaac Maybe one day I'll be free

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

Ever think about how the Oscars were made cause they wanted to prevent director, actors and writers from unionizing?

meg a man

I asked Aku-Aku what to do. He just told me to eat fruit. It didn’t work.

Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

I can feel the monkey’s paw curl, there’s gonna be some garbage AI upscaling that ensures it’ll STILL be different from the original

the “listening age” thing in Spotify Wrapped lowkey pisses me off Me personally, if I ran a music streaming platform where I paid the artists pittances, ran ICE recruitment adverts, and let generative AI flood the place unabated, I’d think twice before patronising my users like that

Spotify wrapped, yeah yeah this company’s an evil virus of Satan, but can we talk for a second about how fucking bad the graphic design is this year Why is all the text stretched like that

Hollywood’s insistence that live-action films are the only legitimate entertainment and that every other medium must circle back to them is a microcosm of American exceptionalism, in this essay I will

No standing on the upper deck, please. No standing on the upper deck, please. No standing on the upper deck, please. No standing on the upper deck, please. No standing on the upper deck, please. No standing on the upper deck, please. No standing on the upper deck, please.

I feel like a broken record saying this, but it’s very funny how AI features are always something we need to opt OUT OF rather than INTO

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books. But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular. It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

Okay look normally I vouch for more viewing of the Inomata art, but Center Velvet is so cursed Having her half-frame was a pretty striking detail of the original cover, and I'm wondering why they felt the need to alter it

I am like 90% sure it’s gonna be Clair Obscur Keep in mind, TGA’s been playing it safe with their overall game of the year since 2020

Re: Steam Machine I'm very excited for all the new hardware, but I think people claiming Valve will "win the console war" and such are setting themselves up for disappointment. (1/2)

You know, if there’s any other positive takeaways from Election Day, it’s the fact that campaigns that use AI to make ads (i.e. Cuomo) are losing campaigns.

I do recall Mamdani saying he would act on Netanyahu’s arrest warrant if he ever stepped foot in NYC

The election results confirmed it, folks: AI-generated slander ads are a loser strategy for losers.

And it could never be him

Game publishers: “Don’t you SEE?? We HAVE to price our games at 80 dollars!! MARKET CONDITIONS!!!” Also game publishers:

Remember: Ultraman and Kamen Rider both took extensive hiatuses in Japan and their respective returns were both genre-defining entries and huge hits. Pausing to cook is a good thing.

Well. At least I have a chance to catch up now

SMILING FRIENDS (Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, 2022-2024) [Seasons 1 and 2] This is just Aqua Teen Hunger Force for quirked-up white boys.

SONIC FRONTIERS (Sonic Team, 2022) Probably the most 6/10 game on earth. Nothing here is bad per se, but it just makes me question what was Sonic Team’s endgame. It’s got atmosphere and music like a NieR game, but nowhere near the same amount of substance. Or world design, for that matter.
