i may have started a winter crochet project. i hope i finish it in time to be useful

It’s December……………. dawning on me how both crazy AND nothingburger/peaceful my 2025 was. already excited for 2026

went to the gym, had a v good lash lift, had tacos, saved myself from witnessing a mclaren fumble, went to bed early ❤️

deleted twt off my phone for the nth time… it’s such a funny but just horrible, upsetting, and addictive place 💀

watching the noclip on DE just to relive the 7 weeks I lived in Tallinn in 2019

i’m honestly amazed at how fast things get fixed here. (as someone whose leg fell through a pavement drain that was merely covered in plywood in the rain, living in Manila)

It’s also good to see Nintendo taking SEA seriously both as a developer hub and consumer market. Switch 2 launched in SEA the same month as the rest of the world. Nintendo eShop and online support has been added in SEA for the first time. New distribution agreements have been signed.

Six months of living in Beijing now 🤯🤯🤯 I still haven’t figured out how to take back my weekends after workdays but I’ll get there

begrudgingly upgraded to airpods pro and… holy shit.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

i’ve gotten back in touch with how much i love philosophy…my jesuit uni required 12 units and i took another philo of logic course and enjoyed almost all of it (my philo of morality prof was a misogynistic priest, go figure). i feel like i’m rediscovering a part of myself ❤️

Resharing the essay that got me started in game writing. Not the most fun thing you’ll ever read, but I know it’s helped some people navigate loss and grief and stuff, so that’s a positive! This was originally published in Game Informer! clippingsme-assets-1.s3.amazonaws.com/cuttingpdfs/...?

Today is when all the cool kids celebrate the PC port of Suikoden, right?

I just started playing Return of the Obra Dinn and this mod that tells me the name of all the passengers might be the first one I install

A new case file lands on your desk from the Police Commissioner. You take a sip of your rapidly cooling coffee, and pick it up. ☕ It looks like you might need to dig around in the post to fill in the blanks. store.steampowered.com/news/app/271...

Enjoyed Avowed a fair bit until my PC couldn’t take it anymore… had tons of fun at character creator haha

i want to think of a good dev name so i can take this project that’s getting more and more material into solid reality 😭😭😭

Please wishlist our gay ass trans ass “DEI”-ass puzzle-ass game so I can finally rest, please. 🐰 Wishlisting is the best free way to support an indie game, especially self-published like ours! This will live or die on word of mouth! DECIDE OUR FATE bit.ly/WishlistSpiritSwap

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Making a video game is insane. If you ever shipped a video game, you’ve achieved a minor miracle.

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

We are delighted to announce the nominees for our latest Thinky Awards, celebrating the best games you loved to solve throughout 2024! 🎉 There are also three Community Choice categories open to the public - so get your votes in! thinkygames.com/awards/

As someone from SEA, this is something I think about often. Last year I tweeted: It's unacceptable that SEA devs are paid lower rates due to our cheap currency. It's also hypocritical for indie studios to do this on the principle of paying people what they're worth. But I'm not too sure anymore.

hullo narrative designers! when writing, esp dialogue, do you write on a document or a spreadsheet? do you have other places where you write first and then transfer, or do you -ahem- rawdog the submission format lmao? had this convo and came across some interesting personal preferences and processes

Loads of spelling mistakes in this.

My lead is putting me on some narrative design exercises, one of which is watching movies (which I’m never been into prev) so im about to be a letterboxd camper

ICYMI: New trailer with big announcement dropping next week.
