I guess it wasn't a dream after all

So buzzed after seeing the new Minions movie. It’s like knowing precisely when and how I’ll die.

You might recall me ranting that a multi-million dollar 1 hour game would be a massive hit (proof: movies). "Unhinged", a 40 minute horror game releasing on Netflix in 2 days, took a team of 20 developers 18 months to make. More importantly, it might prove me right. www.gamefile.news/p/netflix-pr...

I did not realize the ambitious and amazing looking "Exo Rally Championship" recently released on Steam! By the developer of "Exo One", and an uncompromising vision "brutally realistic racing simulation on alien landscapes" www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgeY...

I resumed playing Endlight on Hard - now halfway through Season 7. When you lose all shields (from smashing), you start shrinking to nothing and eventually die. Getting a hoop saves you. On Hard I'm constantly shrinking, then saving myself ... then shrinking and my heart CAN'T TAKE IT. #Endlight

The legacy of Big Five Software's 1981 classic game "Meteor Mission 2" for the "TRS-80 Model I" LIVES ON!!! Historical Note: MM2 was in fact a superior clone of the 1979 Taito Arcade game "Lunar Rescue" www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AAW...

The people yearn for nirvanna

I'll go one step further. Every file you create should have this date, formatted this way, in the file name - preferably the start. It's always the most important piece of information, and is no longer subject to the whims of the OS.

i'm so sorry

Checked out the Parkade event for Toronto Games Week because it was on my block. Some great lookin games.

My only manifesto is that I think some of you are thinking about this shit too much. Time spent being clever in your head is time that could be better spent working it out in the art instead. You need to embrace being a dumb bitch if you wanna ship

I'm at The G.R.I.D. @playthegrid.bsky.social structured playtesting event! It was such a highlight of the Toronto Games Week for me last year, and this year, it's back with a vengeance. Bigger, calmer, more poised, and just as awesome. Kudos to Antonio for pulling it off once again!

Truly @declouxj.bsky.social has his FINGER on THE PULSE tiff.net/events/the-f... I saw this at Justin's recent "All-Sports Movie Marathon", and it's really REALLY into basketball movement minutiae in a way I've never seen and only animation would allow. FREE! July 15 David Pecaut Square (Toronto)

I WANT TO PLAY THIS

Getting set up for CTRL-ALT-DELICIOUS, our #AltControl games showcase at #TorontoGamesWeek Come play: 1-6 PM dmgregory.ca/tgw/

Love Park (York & Queens Quay W) has little toy sailboats with the flags of all the world cup countries kids can play with. Super cute!

I have played half of these and they will ALL bring a smile to your face!!!

Do I detect... nuance and thoughtfullness? Owen must be destroyed.

Gutted that I had to leave early to make it home, but the huge projections meant I got to catch two more games as I was walking to the TTC stop. 😁 Shout out to @ravinestudios.ca's North Shore, and DisGo (Steam links in the alt texts) #TorontoGamesWeek

Gettin' some BIG games going at the #TorontoGamesWeek kick-off!

Love this BUT it misses a crucial point. Your best chance at creating a game that people will buy is by following this advice. Proof? If there was a formula for making games that sold well, banks would rule this space.

"Players who are playing your game are trespassing in the garden of an angry god, who does not care for their presence and acts with no logic or forewarning"

Toronto, your trial awaits. Play DUNGEON LURKER tonight at @torontogamesweek.com's GIANT VIDEO GAMES event... if you dare. #indiedev #indiegame #TGW26 #TorontoGamesWeek

Best newsletter in the business! Seriously, lots of great stuff packed in there AND incredibly good looking.

That’s a wrap on #TCAF2026! A huge thank you to everyone who came through, and most importantly, a huge thank you to all our INCREDIBLE volunteers! It takes more than 150 awesome humans to bring you TCAF every year, so give ‘em a hand!

If you are going to TCAF, make sure to drop by the MINT table because they're giving away, for FREE, a book that collects stories of their authors who are at the festival.

Had a great time jamming at @torontogamejam.bsky.social last weekend with @devonxwong.bsky.social, @redrabble.bsky.social , and @millertone.bsky.social! You can play our weird little IF game, Designed For Renters, on Itch! jlevstein.itch.io/designed-for...

CUBE - the 1997 landmark movie that proves constraints breed creativity - shows THIS Thursday (June 4, 2026) at the Revue with criminally underrated director Vincenzo Natali in attendance. Canada Day comes early this year! revuecinema.ca/films/revue-...

❄️⛸️❄️It was amazing to show the first peek of the game to people at @mivsmagfest.bsky.social ❄️⛸️❄️

Just returned from the Toronto @foundfootagefest.com tour stop - an annual event now in its 11th year. Two understated genial hosts present gold they mined from their ever growing VHS tape collection (14,000+). Always hilarious, rarely ironic, and unexpectedly sweet. They love their subjects.

Disabling achievements when turning on provided accessibility features might seem like a sensible compromise, but it's actually a weird pointless humiliation ritual for everyone involved

A chilling thought for a sci fi thing: what if the ai takes over while its still not smarter than us? And tries to force us to teach it?

If you wanted to visit Antisocial Pinball Lounge in Toronto, you have a month left until they close the doors! This is maybe 1/3rd of their machines, all set to free play with a $20 admission. Great for people like me who suck but love to play! #toronto #pinball www.antisocialpinball.com

WATCH RIGHT NOW! Toronto REPRESENT!

Drop everything and buy Endlight AGAIN. It's 50% off ($10 CAN / $7.50 USA) which is an absolute steal. I recently started replaying (just for fun) and boy howdy is it chaotic and absolutely weird. What were we THINKING?! store.steampowered.com/app/1299860/...

The Nintendo Switch demo for Neo Harbor Rescue Squad is liiiiiiive (at XP Game Summit)! @xpgaminginc.bsky.social #xpgamesummit

It's ABSURD that this is a game from the director of Ikaruga and is one of the best rail shooters I've ever played and it has... 1 review listed on metacritic??? www.metacritic.com/game/night-s...

Antonio Miceli is one of Toronto's brightest lights. On June 12 (part of Toronto Games Week) join him at "The G.R.I.D." and get or give invaluable game feedback.

Sektori just released on the Switch 2! I feel this should be bigger news, especially considering the $15US price. As expected, it plays BRILLIANTLY. Ignore the fact I continue to suck at it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2r7...

This has been INCREDIBLE thus far. TUNE IN NOW. 8:50pm is the PENULTIMATE film.

Experts aren't always right. That's why I put my faith in morons who are never right

at the start of last year, i began a project of sitting through my backlog of "to watch" movies. i decided to watch them in pairs, to look for little harmonies. i'm continuing that thread here.
