I'm becoming increasingly convinced that cloud-based gaming will become the dominant way to game over the next decade or so. It's not because people don't want to own PCs or consoles, but rather because they simply cannot afford them. I don't think RAM prices will go down anytime soon.

It seems like no one I know is playing Ghost of Yotei. I have a lot of thoughts on it, especially in relation to Assassin's Creed Shadows. but at this current moment, I'm fighting Takezo the Unrivaled, who is based on Miyamoto Musashi.

I have issues with Silent Hill f, but by and large it's an EXCELLENT game. It feels authentically Silent Hill while doing its own thing. Hinako is an interesting protagonist, and the game tries to tangle with thoughts about gender and relationships through the lens of 1960s Japanese culture.

SCOOP from me: Trump's AI action plan released last week makes a specific set of recommendations around loosening Clean Water Act permits for data centers — recommendations mirrored in letters sent to the administration by Big Tech lobbyists earlier this year:

Big Tech Asked for Looser Clean Water Act Permitting. Trump Wants to Give It to Them
New AI regulations suggested by the White House mirror changes to environmental permitting suggested by Meta and a lobbying group representing firms like Google and Amazon Web Services.

I'm trying to finally finish House of Leaves. I stopped reading it because the narrator sucks real hard. The fiction about the house itself and the Navidson family is super compelling, but Johnny is just the far end opposite. And in between that, 200 pages of footnotes.

The fact that itchio is looking into alternate payment options and talking about all this like an ongoing situation instead of being like "these are the new rules and always will be, fuck off" says a lot about how much they care about this. I know you want to yell at them but they're working hard

Wanted to revisit this briefly and reemphasize this point - I agree in principle with the idea that you shouldn't sell your work for cut-rate, unsustainable pay, but that mostly assumes that alternatives exist

I understand the argument that the impeachment vote in the House is symbolic and thus potentially a "waste of time" but the people who make that argument never explain, and once again in this case have not explained, what *more valuable thing* they need to do with the time instead.
