Some of the greatest storytelling in Japanese commercials.

Quantum Leap.

In my bout of insomnia, I just discovered Verdant by @tinyroargames.bsky.social and it looks wonderful! I’ve needed a survival game in a nature-reclaimed post-apo world for a long time now. Just LOOK at it!

@spriteborne.bsky.social so I just found out that the collectible toy company I used to work for in Osaka is now making NIKKE model kits. jp.ric-toy.com/200537tp-r.h...

Troy once thought it was good idea to lend his voice to AI voiceover. It took his entire fanbase for him to reel it back and apologize. It hasn't changed being a really really shit idea Troy. It deserves to be demonized, ridiculed and whoever participates in it, humiliated.

This excellent chibi art makes me want SIGNALIS Nendoroids.

After NVIDIA turned out to be a shitty corp that is also helping the world burn, this is all just gibberish numbers and words that I don't care to engage with.

Why the fuck do they need to hunt for him?? Gollum was following the fellowship!! What is this?? The Lord of the Rings: Lack of Object Permanence??

Buy this game. It's incredible!

Should have sent a reminder earlier but you still have 4 hours to grab Hypogea for the Winter Sale!

I gotta say, I do love my neighborhood (Kamigoryō) shrine! #Kyoto

One pearl of wisdom from my mother that has stuck in my head that is useful for these times is: "Let them pour their own poison." Whoever they may be, let them kill themselves however they will. You don't need to expend effort on those on a self-destructive path.

Paging game wizards. @joewintergreen.com ?

Man, there are way too many games on Steam these days with AI slop covers/capsule art. We should be having commissioned work from artists for storefront art like we used to do for movies. It doesn't have to be of Drew Stuzan's caliber, but FFS at least put it in your marketing budget.

Had some of the best ramen in Osaka at Tori Soba ZAGIN. It’s almost a religious experience eating this.

Would love to pivot to cabin somewhere. Maybe a fire watch tower.

I think one of my New Year resolutions is to block out and do not engage with any brainrot at all. The constant shit-stream of short form video coming out of the US is gross. Fuck those videos of people wasting good food in their bogus recipes in particular.

Starting 2026 strong with some good coffee in my Oh Deer Diner thermos. Happy New Year! @remedygames.com @samlakewrites.bsky.social

It’s like THAT is it?? Well I’ll have you know, I succeed out of spite! So my plan for this year is to make a series of tokkuri (徳利) or sake bottles with my #pottery. I’ve already started but I want to get it down perfect. I have an idea of using these bottles as a way to practice techniques.

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

I really hope everyone's New Years' resolutions is to be ungovernable, otherwise, what's the point?

Woah! This is like the only time of the year when you can post either 2026/01/01 or 01/01/2026!!

Going into 2026, I just want everyone know I have a cramp just under my left buttcheek.

あけましておめでとうございます！！

Happy New Year from Kyoto! #HappyNewYear

Do I do the temple thing this year and find a place to bring in the new year, or do I stay home where it’s warm and I have booze?

if you start heat (1995) at exactly 10:41:25 PM tonight, you can ring in the new year with al pacino bellowing 'she's got a great ass!'

Ye Shungguang GET! #ZenlessZoneZero #ZZZ

Highlighting another wonderful run-cycle, this time from #ZenlessZoneZero courtesy of Zhao, the new freebie S-rank character. Just pure Roadrunner excellence! Look at those legs go! The animators at Mihoyo really are top tier. #ZZZ #Zhao

Fucking YES.

Hey @rianjohnson.bsky.social how DARE you!!

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I should finish my backlog of games... (Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 comes out tomorrow) "Motherf**ker!"

Don't expect ANYTHING high quality journalism-wise from any publication owned by Valnet. You're better off just cutting them out of your usual sources for gaming information.

Heyo! now we know where JD Vance gets his tuna!

Just finished Hell is Us on PC and really enjoyed my time with it. Bleak AF, but a solid action adventure game with some really solid exploration and mysteries to uncover. More deep Tomb Raider and nowhere near a souls-like that some media made it out to be. A good 9/10 from me!

I'm GIVING AWAY free #indiegames to moots. Offer expires when all the games are gone.

I tried playing this earlier today and immediately bounced off it.

The Knightling free game has been claimed! @theknightling.bsky.social

Nooo! F**k me up Housemarque!

Co-hosted a game dev drink-up for 5 years in Tokyo. That's mostly where local game dev folks know me from. These were the simple ground rules. Coming to the very casual hang out, it was about socializing with new friends and decompressing from work. People with motives never stuck around.
