The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I was personally very pleased with this tweet but it was underappreciated

I won't be cross-posting every KS update we write for Arcs, but I wanted to share the first. Thank you all for showing up yesterday. buriedgiant.com/blog/Arcs-be...

Today's the day: it's time for Buried Giant's first Kickstarter page. I don't know if I've ever been so nervous before a launch in my life! www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

Arcs by @colewehrle.bsky.social and @ledergames.bsky.social feels like the fulfillment of a promise. This is a civilization game writ large, spoken into being via trick-taking, interpersonal relationships, and the development of entire cultures. My review: spacebiff.com/2024/04/23/a...

gather round, ye babies, for an elder millennial is speaking on OUTPOST, the worst and most disappointing game ever made

We have two Nintendo Switch codes for PICROSS S SNK CLASSICS & NEOGEO to give away! To enter, repost this and reply with your favourite SNK arcade or Neo Geo game. (AU region codes only — winners picked at random)

I wrote a Devlog about the state of my adventure game Gilt: ben304.blogspot.com/2026/03/devl...

All our games will ship with DLSS 5

The Sixth House, the Sleeping House, House Dagoth, the House of Lord Dagoth. The true house, the one house to welcome all true Dunmer, and drive the n'wah from our land. Rejoice, and join us. Come to Red Mountain, and prepare the way for his coming.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

This is NOT the direction games should be going in. In every shot the Art Direction was taken away for the senseless addition of "details". Each DLSS 5 shot looked worse and had less character than the original. This is just a garbage AI Filter. Lets not do this shit.

A fantastic thread, representing what has gone into making the cover for @continuemag.bsky.social. Sitting and watching Jack sketch ideas out, I knew immediately he was going to deliver something incredible. The excitement came from trying to tailor it to speak to the intent. He smashed it. 🙏

Shout-outs to the sickos - Haunted Lands is a FANTASTIC game that's catching a lot of flak simply because it's difficult. If you're willing to take it slow and expect each level to take a couple tries, it's a gem. Seriously, one of the best platform shooters I've played in ages. It's also under $5

There's so much Dragon Quest Builders in Pokopia it's kinda surprised me. I hope that people still hungry for more of this type of game give the DQB games a shot too

Wanna play Pokopia, but want it on PC and have combat, and loads of charm? Bam.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

If you’re unable to get Pokopia at the moment, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the Dragon Quest Builders 2 demo It’s made by the same team and the demo covers a hefty chunk of first part of the game www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

The games that occurred to me as being very important in a formative way and I’d probably do a different list in ten minutes’ time

Readers, I was not prepared

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors. It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening. My months-long investigation 👇

RE Bluepoint: Having a studio that is expert at remakes, working for a publisher with an insanely deep backlog of beloved classics, was always a recipe for printing money at a steady cadence. Leave them alone and they print money forever, little or no opportunity cost. Come the fuck on

Any day now the kids will start posting Frasier edits

What if I installed OpenMW on my computer with the 49” super ultrawide monitor

My fellow game dev, remember the words of @sarahseeandersen.bsky.social when you're thinking of working through the weekends and evenings 💖

Played this. Beautiful, intriguing, curiously subversive. Extremely keen to see more

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

It’s five weeks away!

Phonopolis Demo is OUT NOW on Steam!! 📣 store.steampowered.com/app/4109130/... Take a look at how we built the cardboard city by hand.

Found some old screencaps showing a bug in Old Skies where characters’ heads would disappear for seemingly no reason. While annoying (and I did fix it eventually), it did make some bits of dialog unintentionally hysterical.

This is all I want

Vale Jon Kudelka (1972-2026). He was one of the sharpest political cartoonists this country has ever produced. He saw through the folly and cant but never let it dim his own warmth or decency. Thoughts are with his family. You can read his essay on cartooning here: satpa.pe/fZGzqRE

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

I want this game to occupy a disputatious 90 minutes of the goty pod for The Computer Game Show in December 2026

The developers behind Train Simulator and about seven different Train World Sim games are making a Thomas the Fucking Tank Engine game and I am so "ON BOARD," as it were Look at the goddamn first-person driver's compartment view. YOU ARE INSIDE THOMAS. store.steampowered.com/app/3743790/...

Alright, here's what the list looks like now, and I've also got these on the list to check out: A Difficult Game About Climbing Climbros Robotry Kernmantle New Heights

This is why I’m playing Roadcraft

update 1.3 posted. fix notes www.slipseer.com/index.php?re... qbj3 should no longer be kinda busted. this will be the last update. thanks everyone for your patience!

I’ve talked about this before, but I also trained in grummelot clowning and aside from being very good at moving your acting focus into your body not your thoughts, it really helps you understand how the intent of a vocal line can come through no matter what you say:
