The Chromatic Braseleur in the Endless Tower in #Expedition33 has soft locked on me six times in a row now, even in spite of restarting the game. Ridiculous.

One hyper-specific criticism of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: As I am in a situation where I need to play with headphones, it has been super annoying that the sound effect that blasts when a character triggers a picto effect is way too damn loud. Only that sound effect has this issue. #E33

I know I’m late to the party on Blindspot, but the show sure knows how to stay exciting — and S3 E14 “Everlasting” is such an incredible surprise. Felt strongly reminiscent of a certain Star Trek: TNG episode in all the best ways… #blindspot

I’m still riding the high of the surprise announcement of Mega Man: Dual Override…and it just struck me that the wait between Mega Man 11 and this will be longer than the wait between Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong. 😮 Capcom better be bringing some serious innovation to the series!

Congratulations to @sandfallgames.bsky.social for all of your victories tonight at #thegameawards! I have only just made it through Act 2 and am glad I waited ‘til The Game Awards aired as I suspected the teased DLC was coming. Only question is, does one need to beat the game first to play this?

OH MY G-D A NEW MEGA MAN GAME ACTUALLY GOT ANNOUNCED AT #THEGAMEAWARDS!!! I’M SO HAPPY!!! (sorry not sorry about the all caps)

Wow. Whoever predicted Rowlf was going to show up at #TheGameAwards deserves a raise. Who was that? Destructoid? PC Gamer? …anyways…

Wait…wait? Wuthering Waves won Player’s Voice over E33, Silksong, and even Dispatch? …how? #thegameawards

It also must be said how so many trailers debuting during #thegameawards look and sound like countless other fantasy, horror, and/or hyperviolent games that have been seen before, yet it is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 that is cleaning house tonight. Take note, games industry.

…and Lorien Testard wins Best Score and Music! Well deserved…but objectively, what an impossible choice for that #thegameawards category this year. Christoper Larkin and Darren Korb conjured absolute magic for Silksong and Hades II respectively and should be celebrated.

Absolutely!!!

YES!!! Hollow Knight: Silksong won Best Action/Adventure Game!!! I’m just glad Silksong won *something.* It would’ve been so sad if it didn’t win anything at all. #thegameawards

Well, well, well… Welcome back, Ms. Croft. Back for a double header, I see? I’ll be excited if this reboot employs Breath of the Wild’s ability to climb anywhere you want…but it probably won’t based on the linear look of the trailers. #thegameawards

Oh yeah…I forgot Capcom’s making a new Street Fighter movie. …that’s neat, I guess. Wait — Jason Mamoa’s going to play Blanka?!? Maybe my ole boy will finally get some real respect on the big screen! #thegameawards

Wow. Interesting that South of Midnight won Game for Impact. I don’t know much about the game, but there sure was a lot of competition in this space. Glad it’s coming to Switch 2 eventually. #thegameawards

Ooh…now this game from Wildflower Interactive looks intriguing. First trailer I’ve seen tonight for something I might actually want to play. Coven of the Chicken Foot, eh? Hm… #thegameawards

…and to no one’s surprise but hers, Jennifer English wins Best Performance. …and she deserves it. #thegameawards

Damn…that Larian Studios teaser was intense. …and pretty grotesque. (I was kind of hoping for a Larian teaser for something brand new, but I guess they’re going back to their Divinity roots. Fair enough.) #thegameawards

If Miss Piggy announced a new Muppets game, I’d absolutely freak out with joy. …I’m sure that’s not what @thegameawards.com is hinting at, but it’s fun to dream. #thegameawards

YES!!! Hades II wins Best Action Game!!! #thegameawards

Wow. They’re opening right up with a pretty pivotal song from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 right out of the gate. Guess they’re just assuming everyone’s played the game by now. Pour one out for anyone who hasn’t yet. …and I guess blatant spoilers for who’s going to win, then? #thegameawards

I'm rooting for: Best Debut Indie Game: Blue Prince Best Action Game: Hollow Knight: Silksong Best Score and Music: Hades II ...and if they give the rest to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after that, then cool cool cool. #thegameawards

Congrats to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on winning Best Independent Game! #thegameawards

Hm. Bradley the Badger might be interesting. #thegameawards

One last bit of love for #BluePrince as @thegameawards.com 2025 takes flight: youtube.com/shorts/fRP5C... #thegameawards

I don’t know if it’d necessarily make sense for @thegameawards.com to include a category for Best DLC (did they in the past?), but if they did, I’d argue @sabotagestudio.com should take that honor home for Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker. Such an excellent addition to an already superb game.

Not feeling well tonight for some reason, but I’m loving @dropout.tv @gastronauts.bsky.social ‘s episode w/ Sibohan Thompson, Ally Beardsley & Emily Axford. This trio has had the most funny & creative cooking challenges I’ve seen on the show in a while. …and yes, that IS a dish plated in a beard.

Felt nostalgic this evening for hosting radio shows on WTBU (which I guess is not on BlueSky, but @comatbu.bsky.social is), and I decided to call in and make a request. 1/

Anyways…I popped onto BlueSky once more for a hot minute + apart from that amazing [mock] medley by Kristen Naigus + that fun post by Dr. Rachel Kowert, all I see on here is a waterfall of political rants re: abysmal 47’s admin has been + how still one’s doing anything substantial to stop it. Fun…

…wow. Pretty shocked by this @bloomberg.com story on @yachtclubgames.bsky.social. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... I was proud to back Mina the Hollower on Kickstarter years ago and had been looking forward to this game’s release. I do hope for Yacht Club’s sake that Mina will be successful…

Would love to learn more about the incredible assortment of wind instruments @fieldofreeds.bsky.social adorns this fantastic [mock] medley with!

So…any word on whether Congress is doing anything at all to address the impending affordable healthcare subsidy crisis? Haven’t heard squat about this since the shutdown ended and Thanksgiving rolled around.

Finished watching #ResidentAlien tonight. I know the show started in 2021 and ended earlier in 2025, so I’m a little late to the party, but I’m telling you: other than Severance, Resident Alien has hands down been the best TV show I’ve seen all year.

I hate it when I discover a brilliant TV show just a smidge too late. Resident Alien is absolutely superb…and naturally, Netflix had to cancel it. Did they even promote it at all? Alan Tudyk is of course a national treasure, but the rest of this show’s cast is also just perfect.

Know what? All 3 indie GOTY nominees for The Game Awards in 2025 feature strong female protagonists. That’s a win in and of itself. (Can we get the official artists from @sandfallgames.bsky.social, @supergiantgames.bsky.social @teamcherry.bsky.social to add Melinoë so she can meet the others?)

Congratulations to @blueprincegame.bsky.social on being nominated for Best New Indie Game at @thegameawards.com! Let’s learn how Blue Prince could be leveraged for #projectbasedlearning! youtube.com/shorts/1-ri-... #edusky #gamebasedlearning #GBL #elachat #studyskills #PBL

Hello @officialpax.bsky.social! I am planning to attend PAX Unplugged for the first time next month and downloaded the PAX Nav app. All the info for PAX Unplugged in the app appears to be from 2024, though. Is there something I need to do to download the 2025 program? Thanks.

Based on this awful news, I can’t help but wonder whether @skylight.social will become a much more prominent platform now. Last time I checked — which was admittedly quite a while ago — Skylight wasn’t quite ready for primetime. I’ll have to give it another look… www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...

Good to know. Glad I live in a state whose local government values public health.

When on an interview, one is practically guaranteed to be asked to “tell me about yourself”…so I thought I’d start a new series focused on exactly that. #jobsearch #tellmeaboutyourself #edtech

Part of what makes @blueprincegame.bsky.social so special is that each and every room is a brilliant exercise in environmental storytelling. How can #teachers use this to their advantage? Full episode @ youtube.com/ENGAGEshow #blueprince #gamebasedlearning #projectbasedlearning

PSA for anyone else playing #Silksong: DON'T read the patch notes! Neither @teamcherry.bsky.social nor sites like @polygon.com, @ign.com, @destructoid.bsky.social etc. used spoiler tags or put up any spoiler warnings, so if you don't want anything spoiled, don't read any of it.

So yes…in case there somehow was any doubt, let’s squash it right now: #Silksong is indeed excellent.

[TV SPOILERS] —— Incredible how @gamechangershow.bsky.social actually gave Jacob Wysocki that $100K prize, according to the behind the scenes posted on @dropout.tv today. I can only imagine as Jacob is such a generous person that he shared much of that with his friends and co-stars.

...it's been a sad week...but it's Friday, damn it! youtu.be/9h5LQsawLpo?...

Still sad over the loss of Ozzy. Can’t believe this was filmed shortly after 9/11… youtu.be/WhssDkNkeZ8?...

Not only has Trump undoubtedly had a hand in forcing Colbert off the air, but Republicans in Congress have now stripped funding from NPR & CBS. youtube.com/shorts/Gxa_a... This is seriously scary to see.
