Keeps it from sliding around and getting too hot! The Crazy Sauce can get hot, sure, but do NOT put the ranch in with the pizza.

My order was cancelled I can’t believe it (I can).

“The top 10% of households now account for 50% of consumer spending” seems… not great, Bob.

Best games writing I’ve read all week!

This game came out in November 2023.

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.) finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk. enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...

it reminds me of skyward sword before it got the HD remaster

stargaze with this cozy indie game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJWs...

This is a great deal but I’ve been playing Double Exposure on Switch 1 and it looks ROUGH.

No Man's Sky's next big update, Remnant, is here, introducing something developer Hello Games has "been wanting to give players since the very beginning": a gravity gun. https://bit.ly/3O9rPYu

“Diablo 30th anniversary” sounds impressive until you do the math then realize that was only 1996, which was like… 6-10 years ago, max.

That’s almost three hours a day, every single day, for the ten years since Fallout 4 came out. That’s… too many.

Meanwhile it’s t-shirt weather in February in Colorado. Whew.

WORLDWIDE release times for Relooted’s launch tomorrow!

Whenever I wear a PaRappa shirt in Japan, everyone loves it.

That time again

Tried Indika and it’s like… sarcastic game design? Appreciate what it’s trying to do but I don’t have time/patience for that. Felt weird in a bad way.
