Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

NEW COVER! Frog's Theme - Chrono Trigger 🐸🗡️(youtu.be/vS13Ih0gAhs?...) I'm embarking on a composer series, tackling themes from different games by the same composer, comparing/contrasting how their style has evolved over time and context. Starting with Mitsuda in his wildly successful 1995 debut:

can confirm from the merch side — there are games that do everything right and somehow can’t justify a run of screenprinted shirts. frustrating and seemingly unfair, but that’s just how the market for games works sometimes 🫠

i know almost nothing of the fighting game community, but even i know and love this so much

he's here

Like the bible says: live by the sword, no worries

In many cultures, money is seen as a sign of wealth

very funny to see an athlete say jesus christ is the reason they were able to beat america

walking thru hardware store and we pass the AI appliances with voice control (lol). iris loudly says “oven: bake!”

illinoisanswers.org/2026/03/13/p... My latest about the Polymarket CEO giving a UChicago freshman $20k to start a campus prediction market club, Coinbase suing Illinois while donating $20k to House and Senate Dems, and the prediction markets running wild in defiance of state gambling regulators

I'm fully accepting the Mani-Mani statue into Endless Monday lore.

2.5d version of @meeellla.bsky.social’s flowey sculpture!

well!! my whole family got sick last week and it’s hanging on, so i’m staying home from GDC to play dr. dad 🥲

today's the (bandcamp fri) day! resonantunion.bandcamp.com/album/chicor... if you pre-order today, all proceeds go to the wonderfully talented folks who contributed to this album! and then it releases ...tomorrow!!

Food Fight is back and on Hulu?!? This was THE show from 2000 that made me who I am today It caused a death in Japan after it aired and then it was locked away forever, never to be seen again until now

remembering when iris was first taking piano lessons and we wanted to encourage her, so we brought undertale sheet music to her first lesson. her teacher, an old brazilian woman, started RIPPING through megalovania

Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike. When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players. That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. 💪

I’m going to my first GDC this year! If anyone has advice for how to best experience the event, I’d love to hear it. Or even better, let me know if you’ll be there and we can meet up!

can anyone name a modern action game where the bosses DONT do this: [entrance] [beat / breath] [roar]

we were originally going to do keycaps for like 3 different games, but we were nervous because they're expensive and people care A LOT about them. so we slowed down and focused on the one fanbase that we felt would 100% get behind it.. and we were right! thank you celeste fans 💙

Who's ready to release a video game? @panic.com gave me the chance to colorize my little @play.date adventure game Ratcheteer and bring it to a wider audience on Steam and, most exciting to me (and the kids), the Nintendo Switch! It's out today: ratcheteer.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy3e...

i’ll let @shadowx.bsky.social decide if his story is worth telling, but “19 minutes and $12” lines up pretty closely with an experience we had while visiting a supplier ~8 years ago

LOL this one goes out to @israfelcello.bsky.social, the only other person I know who played this game and did a cover from it but as it's finally coming to console I had to do SOMETHING--For the Time Past and the Souls Lost - Another Eden, the most Chrono Triggery of all Chrono Trigger successors

Moving day

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

talk with me and zion at GDC about video games. perhaps, specifically, video games you are making or have made???

listen. i was personally against eating my coworker’s snacks. (tension in the HR office eases) ..BUT

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junk🤬 It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

made me think about the games currently imprinting on the brains of my 10 and 13 year olds: deltarune, bugsnax, night in the woods, mario kart.. they’re in good hands 🥲

you never have to hand it to them

fighter jets practicing in the skies above tucson as i’m running errands. can feel my blood pressure in my neck

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

I loved all of the comments about my dog Pizza during the Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons 10th Anniversary Concert!! @magiccakewoman.bsky.social and I gave her lots of pets and read the chat comments to her! ❤️ youtu.be/knx-_GIkH8M?...

one has to wonder whether the coterie of scheming viziers who surround president grandpa and do elder abuse to him get annoyed that this charismatic mohammadean swindler is yanking president grandpas chains using the same arts and crafts tricks they use

I will say this any chance I get: Itoi was part of far left student protests in the ‘60s - ‘70s where he physically clashed with police, was arrested 5 times, and ultimately dropped out of law school from his disillusionment so he indeed knows how they work

I DESIGNED THE TASKI PLUSH AND THE FROGGY PHONE CALL PIN I AM VERY PROUD OF THEM!!!

There is always lots of talk about how games don't come with manuals anymore. Well what Fangamer did with UFO 50 is pretty incredible. A full strategy guide, lots of hand-drawn maps and notes, even a fake newsletter. All played as if this stuff really existed in the 80s.

Wow who did that beautiful shirt of the shaman, who could have done it wow?

i've made a new comic called "TOY STORY II: a sequel to Toy Story".

a quiet aspiration i've always had is to make Collectors Editions for people who don't consider themselves collectors, so this is lovely to see

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

heading to GDC in a few weeks, would love to see old friends (and make new ones) – send me a DM if you want to catch up!

If you’re worried about the future of games, remember that your $ holds enormous sway. Support companies who actually care about the art and craft of making games, who put people first and value their employees & audiences. Support indies especially. The future doesn’t belong to greedy corporations

The Spire awakens once more in Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026! ⚔️ New characters, enemies, environments & more await you in Slay the Spire 2, the sequel to the iconic roguelike deckbuilder. Will you attempt the climb alone... or enlist the aid of your fellow adventurers?

quoting as a "our mailroom is cool" and not as a "if you leave a note you'll 100% get something this invested" (BUT with that said, the mailroom usually tries to go above and beyond in responding to simple requests)
