And the Smiski said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of Smiski-ville a Savior, which is Baby Smiski the Glowy Little Guy.

Why doesn’t the kid in Rescuers Down Under have an Australian accent?

Primal Planet is really fun. Great pixel art and fun gameplay. I am having a blast exploring.

If I was a high school math teacher, I would be teaching video games every week. It is the perfect answer for "when will I ever use this?"

If I was obscenely wealthy I would port Ribbit King to Steam.

Is there no map at all in Expedition 33? I genuinely don’t know if I can play this game.

Being an American fan of Task Master is the best. I kept seeing comments about a man named Basil Brush all morning and I just found out it’s a squirrel puppet.

On today’s walk I found a fairy trap. I’m not falling for it. Better luck next time, fairies.

Today’s walk discovery was a Knuckles that has joined the Lost Boys. Bangarang!

Steamworld Dig is free on Steam right now for some reason. It’s so fun!

Today’s walk find is a rogue Roomba studying for their economics degree.

I miss instructions with words

I got onto 90s budget interior decorating show TikTok and it is so so good.

I guess I’m done with Blue Prince. I enjoyed most of my time with it, but at the moment I’m feeling a little disappointed at all the loose ends and lackluster rewards for the final puzzles. There may be more to find but I’ll leave that to other people. 9/10 for the 40 hour experience though.

Ugh Andor is so good. Time to watch rogue one and the original trilogy again.

I broke out the sewing machine to get back into tailoring stuff over the weekend. I did immediately screw it up, but in the process I learned about hump jumpers, so I think I still gained some XP off of it.

Happy May Day

Where in the world do I buy a high resolution transparent paper texture?!? The internet is terrible now. I just want this thing and I do not want to make it myself.

I'm about 60 hours into Blue Prince and I've finally hit what feels like a wall. I'm hoping that it's just me being blind to detail because it has become too familiar to me. Time to take a few days off and come back with fresh eyes.

Tonight’s best Betrayal Legacy quote goes to @samwren.bsky.social for “I had to take mental damage from meeting Diet Pepsi.”

It’s time to make a Blue Prince miro board I guess

Rolled credits in Blue Prince on day 24. Several hundred more days to go I’m sure.

$80 - $90 games is a big jump for most people. It's certainly at the point where I'll look twice at a lot of games.

If April Fools didn’t exist we would have the Switch 2 announcements today.

Why do people still make slow walking sequences in games? Who enjoys these?

A new Tomodachi Life is such a nice thing to look forward to. That direct made me less glum about games.

I will definitely be using "They drum major at you malevolently" in some future ttrpg session.

As a novice coder and organization nerd, discovering Code Region Folding in gdscript yesterday was a revelation. Everything gets it's own purple section!

Finally played through Roottreemania. While I didn't enjoy it as much as the main game, I really liked some of the discovery paths and the improvements to how you choose names.

Billionaires don’t deserve their wealth and there is definitive proof. Not one of them has recreated Quark’s bar.

Think pieces on game budgets are causing me psychic damage.

I would absolutely risk being attacked by the Borg if I got to live in Star Trek society and just make weird art for a living. I'm tired of living in the unfortunately accurate 'Past Tense' episode of DS9.

I decided to make myself a Godot plugin for the first time this weekend. It was a really fun project! It's a simple branching narrative design tool that repurposes the nodes used for making shaders.

It's the 25th anniversary of Vagrant Story, one of my all-time favorite games. If you've got the patience for PS1 era 3D RPGs, it's a real work of art.

I am very very ready to start playing Citizen Sleeper 2 tomorrow. I think this is the most excited I've been for a new game release in a while.

Listening to the game names episode of Triple Click this week made me flash back to all the absolutely horrible naming meetings I've had to be a part of over my career. It is a weird and fascinating part about making creative stuff these days.

Finished the main game of The Roottrees are Dead last night and really enjoyed it. I love the mystery game genre.

Is the graphite tube lady on Red Note?

Listen, Spotify. I had a craving for some old Modest Mouse and Shins. I'm not sad, I'm just an old millennial!

In our NYE game of Betrayal Legacy @samwren.bsky.social was the sole survivor and single handedly burned a murderous armoire to save the day. So glad I finally get to play through this game.

I finally got the king build in Balatro. I think I can stop now.

I just watched someone on TikTok live fully recreate The Muppet Christmas Carol with Lego.

Buying a toy for your cat that they instantly love is the best feeling.

There was a night panda visit!

It’s great to see Balatro in the nominees for the Game Awards.

Finished Rise of the Golden Idol and it was just as surprising and delightful as the first game. Can’t wait for the DLC!

Rise of the Golden Idol is just what I wanted! I had to break out a notebook on the second chapter.

Outer Wilds is objectively better than Half Life 2 because both games make me motion sick but I only finished one of them.

I like Japan’s fall flavors more than the US. I want a sweet potato latte.
