I briefly lost consciousness last week and woke up to this

Bewildering news from Microsoft today. As always, Schreier is the guy to follow for updates. To say I hope everyone lands on their feet okay feels ridiculous

we’re about to find out if loving SimCity makes you a better mayor Mamdani was asked in 2002 by NY Mag what he wanted for Christmas and said SimCity 3000

Infant xenomorph bursts through John Hurt's chest to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race

Oh, this reminds me, I handled the English script localization for this game. Hope you like it!

Mario Kart World is my favorite Mario Kart, but I still wish it was more like Diddy Kong Racing

Happy Pride by the way

The First Berserker: Khazan is more Niohlike than Soulslike. It makes some clever tweaks to the formula, but is weak on vibes. Fascinatingly bland script delivered by an extremely talented voice cast. Also: too hard. A rare DNF, for me.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

Hard to believe that in just one week I will receive the coordinates to the dead drop site that scalper will be leaving my Switch 2

Official Yoshitaka Amano GEX art is a clear sign that this reality is collapsing in on itself

Saw Sinners last night. It was good! Humiliating that they've gotta set a movie in 1932 for me to be like—oh I know that song. That one too!

Early impressions of Blue Prince: I've never been more stressed out that I don't have a banana in my entire life

I will play better games this year, but none will make me smile like Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. I always reach the end of these games surprised that Ryu Ga Gotoku managed to sneak a genuinely moving story into a funhouse of evil idols and underdog taco salesmen. They did it again!

First you gotta find the ninjas

Citizen Sleeper 2 is like if Disco Elysium wasn't funny at all. The prose gets a little purple, for my liking, but that's probably inevitable in a game with so many transcendentally beautiful moments. Can't make an omelette etc etc. I highly recommend it to people who like Books.

Started playing the tribe nine game⚾️🔥

Still playing catch-up on 2024 games. Indika dares to ask "what if those Plague Tale games were awesome?" You play as a sad nun with a mysterious past in 19th century Russia, on a mission to deliver a letter while navigating severe religious psychosis. You can hold L2 to Pray.

Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.

damn, didn't get selected for the Switch 2 Experience

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Salóme Gunnarsdóttir (Maria in the Silent Hill 2 Remake) performed the motion capture for the character while pregnant. Daily reminder that developments in technology are great when they allow more artists to do more cool shit—not less.

Just got around to Who's Lila by @garageheathen.bsky.social. It's a reverse detective game where the central mechanic is dragging facial features around to express emotions. A must-buy for anyone who understands that the pupil cannot see itself and our personalities are - definitionally - imaginary.

It's January 17 2025, and—if you can believe it: it's a Friday once again

The entirety of my politics at the moment

Regardless of what this Apple settlement actually means: if the results of a legal data-collection system are indistinguishable from mass covert surveillance, then it probably shouldn't be legal.

Today is the last day you can post this picture

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is maybe the biggest surprise of 2024. MachineGames' new first-person adventure de-emphasizes gunplay, and focuses instead on the very-Indiana Jones moment when stealth fails and improvisatory melee tomfoolery commences. Unexpected and very late GOTY.

Silent Hill 2 is one of the most special games of all time, and the Remake has absolutely no business being as good as it is. Bloober's attention to detail is slavish. Nothing has been overlooked, and every deviation from the source feels like a valid choice. Looking forward to Born From A Wish.

Tactical Breach Wizards is an achingly funny game that also makes me feel like an evil genius. I love tactics games, but can often be overwhelmed by the scope of encounters. TBW's room-by-room progression makes it approachable, pickupable, and encourages wild experimentation. Great story too!

Come let us adore him

Having a coffee to wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Merry Winter Solstice, Happy Yule and Hyvää Joulua!

Continuing the trend of having no idea when things I do actually see the light of day: I'm the voice of Granger in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang as of the character revamp over a month(?) ago. Thanks to Moonton and director @kylehebert.com

If someone wants to animate this, I will play Tom and I'll do it for cheap

After a pretty weird and often depressing year in games, Keighley and co managed to put on a show that left me feeling hopeful. Probably the best Game Awards so far. Congratulations to Astro Bot.

Such is the fate of all monarchs

In honor of the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remaster, here's the opening line from Blood Omen 2—which remains one of the hardest (Shakespearean) things I've ever heard in a video game

Expecting a tough competition at this year's Game Awards (the Oscars of video games) for Content Creator of the Year between bearded man 1, bearded man 2, bearded man 3, bearded man 4, and anime girl with carrots in her hair
