I was 24 when I wrote this. I turn 34 this year. he’s had so much time to correct this. he’s had so much time to look into the progression of anti-trans legislation. he’s a smart guy. he has no excuse. www.pastemagazine.com/comedy/dave-...

This looks wonderful!

I am so excited to finally see what Yacht Club has been cooking!

Six pounds in postage and customs fees to Finland is approximately the GDP of Luxemburg, but I'm willing to fork that over for something as grand as this. North American friends shouldn't even think twice!

Saros is one of the most accessible hard games ever made, and a staggering feat of design from the masters of this genre. It's a hypnotic, nightmarish odyssey that I loved for every second I spent with it. #saros #gaming regionfree.net/saros-playst...

I'm a fan of Ozploitation flicks, and Apex is one of the better ones, thanks to the committed performances from Egerton and Theron. It isn't big or clever or even that original, but it is entertaining. #netflix regionfree.net/apex-charliz...

There is no indication of his brilliance in the art. No question about his darkness or inner demons. There is only the dance and the mannerisms and the music, echoing out into eternity, a repeated encore to a performance that will never allow Jackson to rest. #filmsky regionfree.net/michael-film...

Tomodachi Life understands me.

One of these days Bluesky is going to vibe hire an actual coder.

And here I was thinking they couldn't possibly reach the levels of good cheese the first movie had. I'm so happy to be wrong.

The first act of Lee Cronin's The Mummy is a horrifying and superbly crafted mix of myth and family terror. Everything after that is a dull slog. It's one of the more frustrating films I've seen this year. #filmsky regionfree.net/lee-cronins-...

One of these days Bluesky is going to vibehire themselves an actual coder to make this app work for once.

I spoke with Kenji Tanigaki, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, Xie Miao, and Brian Le about their incredible new action epic, The Furious, which comes out this June. #filmsky regionfree.net/the-cast-and...

I can't stand being on camera nor the attention it brings. But the fact is every video I've made has had ten times the audience of a written piece. I recognize I must change, but there's a real sense that it would be healthier to give up altogether.

I grew up with Spaghetti Westerns, so I was predisposed to love Heads or Tails?, the delightfully odd film making its debut digitally. It isn't perfect, and it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's full of the bittersweet melancholy that I love about this genre. regionfree.net/heads-or-tai...

MOUSE: P.I. for Hire looks gorgeous, and the soundtrack is a banger. But it's also tonally messy, with weird modern-day memes and pop culture references, and bloated levels that drag on for too long. I admire its passion, even if I don't love it. #indiegame regionfree.net/mouse-p-i-fo...

Today is a busy review day. First up is Replaced, which I reviewed in Finnish for KonsoliFIN. I really enjoyed this one, not least because of its astoundingly beautiful animations and impeccable art style. Fans of Another World will be in heaven. #indiegame www.konsolifin.net/arvostelu/yk...

Pragmata is the encapsulation of everything Capcom has learned from four decades of generational bangers. It is part sci-fi thriller, part puzzle game, and even a surprisingly touching drama about found families that hooked me from the first minute to the last. #gaming regionfree.net/pragmata-pla...

Notebook for first drafts, then either Pages on my MacBook or Google Docs if I'm going between platforms. I need to find one solution that works for both PC and Mac, but so far none have managed to overtake my love for Pages.

As with all of these things, these choices might and will change tomorrow.

Hungary shows the way. The next election cycle across Europe needs to rid our governments of authoritarian right wing lunacy for good.

After careful consideration of how I'm feeling right now, these are my best 10 video games of all time. 1️⃣ Final Fantasy VII 2️⃣ Disco Elysium 3️⃣ A Link to the Past 4️⃣ Final Fantasy IX 5️⃣ Tetris 6️⃣ Shadow of the Colossus 7️⃣ Super Mario RPG 8️⃣ Uncharted 2 9️⃣ Like a Dragon series 🔟 Ridge Racer Type 4

When I get a new follower

I have conflicted feelings over Life is Strange: Reunion, a sequel that's often lovely but, like the Veronica Mars revivals, sugar at the cost of important lessons that fiction can teach us. #lifeisstrange regionfree.net/life-is-stra...

Whenever people say Finland is the happiest nation on the planet, just remember our right wing government has learned from America and cruelty is the point in their leadership. All this while they refuse to tax corporations or the obscenely rich. yle.fi/a/74-20219890

I spent a good month testing out the Early Access version of The Last Caretaker, the new survival-crafting game from Channel37. I love its narrative ambitions and the immense sci-fi themes it evokes; I'm a little less enthusiastic about the grind. Link: regionfree.net/preview-the-... #indiegame

It is dangerous for platform holders to own all distribution, and this censorship is such bullshit. DDLC is an important part of gaming culture. This is why these hard pushes into all-digital and single-store solutions are so dangerous.

Jonah Hill's vanity project, Outcome, at 84 minutes in length, feels just as long as Killers of the Flower Moon, only with fewer laughs. It exists in some sunless dimension where good taste goes to die. #filmsky regionfree.net/outcome-film...

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Timberborn is one of the most charming city-builders I've ever played, and something that I've fallen hard for in the past month I've spent with it. My review: #indiegame #timberborn regionfree.net/timberborn-p...

While I feel that Dances With Wolves deserves more credit for what it tries to do, I have no notes on yet another fantastic piece of film criticism from one of my favorite YouTubers. This is essential viewing for anyone interested in media literacy.

I saw seven films at SXSW this year. Six of them were good to great, and one of them I can't wait to forget. I hope that next year, or someday soon, I can attend the festival in person. For now, here are the collected reviews. #filmsky regionfree.net/sxsw-2026-re...

I had all these plans of work and reviews for today, but right now, this anxiety over the news isn't letting up at all. I'll check back again tomorrow to see if we're all still here and call it an early day.

Part Link to the Past, part Gradius, Minishoot' Adventures is a brilliant hybrid of genres and iconography that is still uniquely its own thing. I loved every minute of it. #indiegame regionfree.net/minishoot-ad...

I hate every bot I see. From gpa to gpt

When I still lived in Texas, my extended family had two old, old horses called Dandy and Amigo on their ranch. Amigo knew what cheeseburgers were. He understood the crinkle of the bag, and if he saw you with one, he'd come to investigate. This made me think of that silly guy.

If you care about Black Queer and Trans artists within the TTRPG community, please support this event. BaddieBards have been working OVERTIME trying to make this happen, and it would be disappointing and heartbreaking as fuck if nobody shows up for them. Community means nurturing and helping. 🖤

Is it too early to say that I'll see you all at Gamescom this August? Cause I'll see you all at Gamescom this August.

I can't believe Moonfall is 58 already!

The Wizard of the Kremlin is good stuff. Jude Law and Paul Dano make a meal out of the material, and it's a great primer for how we got into *gestures around* all of this.

THIS IS WHY WE HAVE EDITORS. If you can't do your job as an editor or writer without AI, then please, step the fuck aside and let the rest of us who are *dying* for work take over.

Fucktoys, written and directed by Annapurna Sriram, is at once joyous, sexy, funny, tragic, and deeply moving. It's a wild mix of influences that is still wholly in Sriram's own voice. I loved it. #filmsky regionfree.net/night-vision...

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an unimaginative and cynical experience that will probably make a billion dollars. It really wasn't for me. #filmsky #supermario regionfree.net/the-super-ma...

I've been in a bad way in terms of mental health for some time now. I need something to distract me, so any book recommendations (especially if it's your own/indie published!) are more than welcome. Any genre is welcome, though right now escapism and kindness would really help. #booksky

Crimson Desert is a gorgeous audiovisual experience with obtuse mechanics, poor mission design, and a nonexistent story. It plays like an MMO trapped in the frame of a single-player adventure game with too many cooks in the kitchen. I wanted to love it, but couldn't. regionfree.net/crimson-dese...
