A little new year's gift for you: I made a primer on shibuya-kei. 35 albums and a short essay with some context on the signature sound of Japan's trendiest district. Tried to recommend a good mix of classics and personal favorites. theshfl.com/collection/S...

ready 4 magfest!!!

hey everyone!! I'm starting a new dayjob after nearly 6 months of unemployment. I'm lucky to be in a position where I can get back on my feet but my savings are totally drained and this month is going to be tight. it's hard to ask but any little bit you could give would be a massive help.

seemed like the perfect time to start up boku no natsuyasumi 2

in a world where subscriptions for stuff that used to be free or local are becoming the norm and we are treated like we HAVE to pay rent to some fuckass company to run shit on “the cloud” instead of owning our hardware or media or whatever my resolution for 2026 is to not do that as much as possible

Hey again bluesky, I know we JUST finished thinking about 2025, but since 2025 is OVER I can finally talk about it in past tense. You can read about how I spent the last 3 months of the year on my website! There's discussion on my trip to Japan, among others! voltage.neocities.org/pages/writin...

This was a fun little thing to do, but I think I will abstain from a media thread in 2026. Thanks for following along!

good morning from your favorite old generation z poster, i graduated high school 10 years ago. those children in middle school right now are gen alpha, thanks.

day 365: one last drawing for 2025!!! to everyone who liked, commented, or just generally enjoyed any of my art this year, thank you. it truly means a lot to me. wishing everyone a wonderful new year!

Here's some of my fav albums of this year! The ten albums in the red box are my 2025 favorites. Everything outside that is just stuff I loved that really set the mood for the past 12 months.

Hey girls. It's my birthday, it's new year's eve, but most importantly: it's buddy list day. For the fourth time, here's my annual tradition where I invite my friends to take up some space on my newsletter and talk about how they spent their year. Thanks for reading. 💜 www.shy.center/p/buddy-list...

ive beaten xenogears, i can handle this

Ever since I was 14, I've tried to keep track of how much I have played of "1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die." I haven't checked in for a few years. I'm now at 447 / 1001. I was at 186 when I first started tracking in 2011. I do this by drawing a smiley by anything I played :)

playing a lot of this kirby airriders? anyone heard of this one? its kind of one of those games you cannot believe is real. its kinda rare, haven't heard much chatter about it

new year new pfp

engagement bait on twitter is like "which anime is this from??" and then posts this

62. Terranigma Beautiful game that somewhere along the way loses all meaningful level design and combat balance. Worth playing, glad it saw it through, but i likely won't be replaying it anytime soon.

linda cube scenario a, and a happy new year!

Someone on here was daring people to "name 50 good indie games you bought that came out this year" - well, I can't afford new games, so instead, here's 50 good (and slightly less good) games I played this year regardless of when they came out. netizen.club/~wildweasel/...

oh hey it's that one chunsoft sound novel in that one chunsoft maze game

the zoom out was 🤌

They're straight up "tansaku action" games for me now. You know the ones.

As someone who has spent the last 6 months reading @gamenburger.itch.io 's map analysis, I NEED you to read this. Their analysis has singlehandedly made so many games more legible to me. I can't emphasize it enough, this is the good shit. I know it when I see it. trust me im in that one totk video

Back in September I did my first ever conference talk. It was a 5 minute lightning talk problematising “game feel” and offering an alternative framework for discussing the texture of games; for practitioners, critics, and academics alike. You can now watch it here! youtu.be/jhtzl1McGjE?...

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

damn registeel, dont you think there are better ways to do this?

Art is hard. It takes a lot of revision and practice to get somewhere good from the first things that come out of our brains. Many people are afraid to have bad 1st drafts because we share everything now and it feels like a public failure to not instantly be good instead of just a step in a process.

Polar nights and the endless darkness not enough for you? Try Void Stranger/ZeroRanger as well, now on sale.

2026 is gonna be the year of playing so many NES games and so many PS2 games and so many GCN games and so many Saturn games and so many Gameboy games and so many

my only complaint about the game awards is that they aren't thanking the people who deserve it the most: weapons manufacturers

convinced this year's game awards posting is a big goncharov style prank you fuckers organized in advance, saying one of the first games of the show was called "bradley the badger" was already stretching my belief but "miss piggy is flirting with geoff onstage" is the last straw, i'm going to bed

game awards fit

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
