Bungie is actually kind of trash. Halo is boring and Destiny is an incomprehensible mess.

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

Another podcast? Already? The day after we actually recorded it? fatgatsby.com/late-may-2026/

TripleRaidio is recording live in about one hour! www.twitch.tv/xsteikestudios

Not to be confused with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

I'm glad I bought a Steam Deck years ago when it was cheap I increasingly feel like I may have bought my last piece of gaming hardware.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Hey, it's that podcast we recorded! fatgatsby.com/may-2026/

Just incredible youtu.be/POneS8h1jyU?...

Glad I got one at launch when it was cheap.

Love this mash up from Joystick Drift www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejgh...

My kid started into Pokemon cards back in 2021. A kid at his summer camp gave him a small handful of cards. Then, like a day later, he accidentally dropped them in the toilet in the morning (because he was six and trying to pee while holding his cards and half-awake)

Dreamcast is the obvious and correct answer.

Well that was one of the best episodes of Dynamite ever.

I had a letter printed in a 95-96ish issue of Nintendo Power suggesting they make a fighting game with Final Fantasy characters.

I was a little underwhelmed with the Blokees Spider-Man model until I realized it's light enough that I could stick it to the bottom of a shelf with some poster tack.

Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the legendary Kunio-kun and Double Dragon series, passed away on April 2. Initially reported on Twitter, the news has since been confirmed by Famitsu magazine. He was 64. www.famitsu.com/article/2026...

This is your fault.

Watching the Artemis launch was just a reminder that the world could be doing the most incredibly cool shit together all the time.

If you didn't see Speed Racer in theaters you should go see Speed Racer in theaters.

Giant leggy boi hanging out in my back entryway. Usually I don't see these guys until the summer.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Sound on. Minnesota knows better than anyone. 🫡 #AEWDynamite

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

For you Grace, Resident Evil Requiem was the worst day of your life. For Leon Kennedy, it was Tuesday.

I'm bad at promoting my work. So, in addition to saying "buy my book!" (a chill game design textbook using Bitsy) I'll share some of my favorite writing from the book. www.amazon.com/Storytelling... link.springer.com/book/10.1007... (save 20% with code PALAUT and I earn a pittance of commission!)

STELLATHON is live. Thank you to everyone who jumped into action to make this happen. It means the entire world to me. Please enjoy the fun and hang out

How to win in November

"Can we watch it in a month? I already have too many games to play. I have Pokemon ZA, Pokemon Red, Pokopia, Fortnite. I don't need to think about more games" - my son, in response to me telling him about Indie World and simultaneously calling out every other gamer on the planet.

I've been informed that I am also supposed to get Pokopia so we can play together...

My kid earned himself a video game of choice for making Honor Roll last quarter. In an unusual act of patience, he actually decided to wait a month to cash in for Pokopia. I asked if he wanted digital or physical. His response, disgusted: "Digital. All digital. I don't want anything physical"

Mail call!

DENVER KNOWS WHAT'S UP. #AEWDynamite

Trying to figure out the insane string of dominoes that had to fall into place in this timeline to have Kenny G (beautifully) covering the music of a terrible 3DO game

TripleRaidio records tonight at 8PM EST, live on www.twitch.tv/xstrikestudios Look, I remembered to post more than an hour ahead of time!

Jet Set Rodeooooooooooooo! #AEWCollision

Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala

I'm never looking for a new live service game but maybe once a decade one hooks me. 10 years ago (woof) it was Overwatch. 2020s appears to be locked down by Helldivers. Otherwise it's single player games all day.

My favorite Burnout and it was absolutely mind-blowing playing this on a PS2. It was so fast and explosive, it felt like it was from the future. It's insane to me that Criterion was making these games and EA was like "stop that, go do Need for Speed"
