I'm no lawyer, but I think "we're going to keep stealing your stuff until you tell us you don't want us to steal your stuff" isn't quite the defense Grammarly thinks it is—at least not in the court of public opinion. I hope this company is sued into oblivion. I canceled my pro account today.

My deluxe copy of Outer Wilds: Design Works arrived from @lostincult.co.uk over the weekend and, damn, it's lovely—which seems only fitting, as Outer Wilds is one of the most creative and beautiful games I've ever played.

The latest episode in the ongoing series 'Move Fast and Take Things' just dropped, and it's utterly brazen

I'm glad @happicamp.bsky.social makes time to write about his favorite books and movies. I always come away from them with a new wrinkle in my opinion of the work. It doesn't hurt that his art is always killer, too.

If you've been meaning to catch up on the many Roblox controversies (child predators, AI-moderation, lawsuits), skip to the the 49-minute mark of the latest Post Games The brilliant @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social crams years of info into 15 minutes. open.spotify.com/episode/3zWm...

Sometimes you need a little escapism. And sometimes you just want to watch a great dumb fun movie over and over, and that's totally OK mbh4h.substack.com/p/bullet-tra...

I’ve been having a blast making art for Post Games, but this week’s episode was an unbridled opportunity to dial it up to 11: @plante.bsky.social’s interview with Resident Evil director, Paul W.S. Anderson. Listen to show on patreon.com/cw/PostGames

I mocked it up, and I was right: this gorgeous design looks so much more Porsche than Ferrari. A Jony Ive / LoveFrom ultra-limited edition Taycan would be sicker than a sick thing that’s really sick

I’m a huge Jony Ive fan, but I’m sorry, this interior belongs in a Porsche or a Merc, not a Ferrari www.theverge.com/transportati...

Mistook this for an Onion headline

I blogged about the decades-long push to make Dragon Quest a mega-hit in the US and Europe, from Nintendo giving away 500k copies of the original to the *multiple* remakes of Dragon Quest 7. Plus: where to start.

JFC. Pitching that ‘now's the time to buy these cars because we’re going to stop making them to make robots’ is the most blatantly desperate marketing initiative I have ever heard www.theverge.com/transportati...

This week, you'll finally be able to play the magnificent Perfect Tides: Station to Station. But first, you should listen to this interview with the game's creator @meredithgran.com about the rise of memoir games, recreating the lost NYC of 2003, and, of course, Ecks vs. Sever. Spoiler-free!

Inspired by "The Mincefluencer" essay in the NYTimes, I’ve been diving down the rabbit hole of my theater photography days in London. I think this is my favorite: Sunset Boulevard starring Faith Brown. This is a single frame—no compositing; just the actors holding their positions for the camera.

So glad to see more ex-Polygon peeps building their own media brands. Huge congrats to @midimyers.com and @zoehhannah.com on the launch of Mothership

Happy 85th birthday to Hayao Miyazaki ♡

I read a lot of sci-fi books this year (for me at least), and I also made my own book covers for each book I read and re-read: Neuromancer, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Foundation, and Roadside Picnic.

This week is, in the words of Douglas Adams, “the long, dark tea-time of the soul” between Christmas and New Year, the perfect time to look back on the year that’s passing and ponder what’s in store for the year ahead mbh4h.substack.com/p/mbh4h-2025...

I’ve had a blast making a ton of Post Games art in 2025, but the very yellow question block for this week’s episode is one of my favorites to date. Another banger of a show from Mr. Plante, landing just in time for the holidays!

I’ve been grinding through four levels of a gauntlet boss in Silksong, only to watch a video and realize there are at least eight. I love this game, but it’s taking the piss; going back to Sekiro for a rest
