Another KH1 Rando Multiworld, but now with 10 whole people; this is gonna be a lot www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Back for more KH1 Rando, but this time a race vs. @causeimdanjones.bsky.social !!! www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

A little late, but here are all the games I played in 2025! Not that many games because it was an extremely busy year for me, but some of the favorites are in my top favorite games of all time!

While not nearly the most important thing going on, I wrote some jokes about why this year AI in video games is going to be the absolute most annoying debate. Even more annoying than it already is. Just deeply annoying.

I had a great time with KH1 Rando, so let's try it solo today to learn it some more! www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

Breaking in the new year with my first KH1 Rando! Multiworld style with Barry, Bath , and Nichole! www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

Happy Yesterbirthday to my Brother in Time, @barrykramer.bsky.social!!! youtu.be/NqbrIb4BMHM?...

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

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world. Dying causes players to think about what they're doing. An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible. We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

Whelp, there's no way to sugarcoat this, friends, Through a combination of hubris and misfortune, I messed up...

Time for a Silksong Stream! Going to be going for the Speedrun trophy (beating the game in under 5 hours) www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

Been a hot sec, but let's try out Celeste Multiworld Rando with friends! www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

Just read through this massive interview about Slay the Princess and got floored multiple times through the whole thing. By god. int-magazine.com/interview/sl...

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

You hit the button. That's it. Rhythm Doctor is leaving Early Access on DECEMBER 6TH, 2025! Save patients with your rhythm mastery, all the way through the final Act and our big finale. 🎵 Trailer directed by @rj.dcellgames.com with VFX by thefinals

I mean... minnesotareformer.com/briefs/haged...

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Been a hot second, but I got bugs on the brain with Silksong coming soon, so let's have lil Hollow Knight Rando Race with @causeimdanjones.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/mechanalysttom

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available September 4 on all platforms and day one on Xbox Game Pass! Watch the release trailer: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

And you know what the talking heads seem to rarely use 'violent' to describe? The systemic destruction of families through ICE detentions and deportations. Breaking a window is framed *primarily* as violence, but taking a grandparent away from their kids or sending someone to a work camp isn't.

What is BK mode? Edited by @gamblord.bsky.social

Pascal about JK Rowling and the anti trans law on UK: ‘I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist’

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

These are the worst pigs in the universe torturing all children in a not very wealthy state because the chief pig feels personally slighted, and also is demanding other children be tortured and humiliated as he demands. Of course we can't frame it this way in polite discourse for some reason.
