New Knives out quite good. Manages to neither be sneeringly anti-religious nor doing that tired trope where the arrogant atheists are humbled by simple faith. Actual adult treatment of religiosity that’s kind of rare these days.

I don't know, man. I'm broadly out of touch with considering the "fanbase" of anything when evaluating a work anymore. I'm sure you can find a collective of fans for anything who are annoying or awful, but they're not in the room with me and I'm not going to go looking for them.

making a tiktok for this game was tricky radiatoryang.itch.io/rainbows

i stand by this statement every year

oh my god even the gamedev summer camp kid is wearing the blazer tshirt combo

Early Kraftwerk is wild, lol. Techno-ish, but kinda sounds like Moon Hooch I have a Thing about 70's-80's experimental German music and its many influences on modern music, but I'm still surprised every now & then by random archival footage h/t Juno Records www.instagram.com/reels/DRcmc4...

i’m part of the problem because i still haven’t tried it but i’m sort of surprised to see not one GOTY list include Keeper. i’ve seen nothing but good things, have that few people played it?

so insanely fucking real for this

i can pretty much directly map personal project commits (or a lack thereof) to parenting rough patches, 1:1. we have been having a Tough Time™

i’m glad that in 2026 we’re not releasing any new videogames so i can finally clear out my backlog and get some other stuff done

absolutely love this. great interview

a good huff of that hot laptop air got me talking in fluent Calibri

what possible use...

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍 See it in action!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

DESPELOTE: FIFTH TRAILER youtu.be/_MXKlgMZ3Jc?...

as a kind of side benefit, having kids means waking up earlier and naturally getting things done earlier in the day. for example it was only around 8:45 this morning and i was already completely fucking fried with nothing left to give

a big part of parenting is driving different places to walk around

sorry I'm late! I have at last broken my silence on Pantone's Color of the Year johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/cloud-danc...

You alright man? I keep seeing small damage numbers coming off you

this is pitch perfect, i didn’t get why it was being posted until i saw it was a reply

i think 3d level design is really dumb and amazing and beautiful... its one of those things that i think as an art form we sort of just "got" almost as soon as the technology was available to get it... like Quake 1 - Gloom Keep, it's ALL there. this might as well be an Elden Ring level

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

once again the year in music has been dominated by this video of Takenobu Mitsuyoshi singing the Daytona USA theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J9f...

SPOTIFY: Wow! 😲 You listened to "TALES FROM THE CRYPT THEME - DANNY ELFMAN" 9,278 times! 🤔 That's 23,195 minutes! 🧐 Or 16 days! 🤗 You're a rockstar!!! 😊😊😊 ME: Thats true

it's really cool how our medium is effectively monopolized by less than a half-handful of storefronts obsessed with infantilizing and coddling an audience against anything provocative, while still somehow stocking thousands of factory-churned AI hentai slop games.

It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

kunitsu-gami added a new roguelike mode and none of you told me?? what good is social media???

maybe i am going insane

it's december 1st, which means it's officially the Season Of Wishing I Was At Magfest Already

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

NORCO's a Christmas game. 65% off on Steam through December 12th.

little kids are basically the constant embodiment of “your custom character appears in a serious cutscene”

(Frank Sinatra seeing your wife) that’s wife

one underrated part of having a kid is when you start having inside jokes. my wife daughter and i have all started calling each other Barbara and let me tell you, it kills every time

this is the kind of gameplay i hoped ball x pit would have and it did not. snag this

holy shit! legitimately one my proudest gaming achievements. never got seriously into fighting games until Tekken 8, played a hell of a lot last year, but then stopped entirely ~8 months later, pick up a new main and after a few weeks hit Tekken King for the first time 🥲🥲

first Glühwein of the season: achieved

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!

“fernweh” is a german word for that desire to go somewhere far away, literally “far-ache” the only loose translation we might have is “wanderlust“ but that’s not quite the same, also that’s just another german word lol

I (and others) worked so incredibly hard on this presentation. It would mean the world to me if you would check it out!! Young Suns represents something really special to all of us, and today is JUST THE START

Me, before watching the trailer: "Banned? This is crazy. Who doesn't like horses?" Me, after watching the trailer: "Oooooh. THOSE kinds of horses." Also me: "I want to play this game right now!"

This was my white whale for a long time, but the sourced audio sample during Xenogears' "Blazing Knights" boss fight track was taken from Christian Brando's manslaughter trial in 1990!

was excited to see The Running Man, i like Edgar Wright and the original of course. it was good but the couple behind me talked the entire time. sorry to whinepost but i genuinely cannot understand people without a shred of self awareness. folks not knowing how to act in public makes me feel ancient
