we're about to experience more "just go play outside" than ever before

with every passing day, i grow closer to retreating from all streaming services

so wa peng

I'm rarely this effusive about a preview, but Saros has blown me away so far. I liked but didn't love Returnal, and this feels like the tightening of that loop I was craving. More Saros features will be going live over the next few days 🙏

starlink is my personal pick for Dead Toys To Life Game That Should Have Been Huge

There's a new JoJo in town, and @kambole.bsky.social is all over it. re:frame #67, out now:

is screenbound out yet

this is how i ended up reading an australian sci-fi trilogy starting from the second book that dealt with ecological collapse, gender theory and personhood, the specific mechanics of flight, computers made out of human functions, and a surprising (to me at the time) amount of sex

damn banksy you've done it again go off scathing commentary

good luck, anime onlys

I approached Kiln with a sort of Wreck-It Ralph energy that did not serve me well

not for nothing this could have used a copy editor

going on a quest a cosmic quest

not very $5 of them tbh

this might be the most traction one of our newsletters has had, so I gotta say: it would mean the world if this translated to some more sign-ups! do that here (or at the bottom of the article) - buttondown.com/reframe

While I was playing Mouse: P.I. For Hire at GDC, I started loudly humming "At Doom's Gate" and that's maybe the highest praise I could give it

In my early teens, 5 mainline numbered Final Fantasy titles came out over 6 years. Over the last 20 years, another 5 have released.

for every pokemon pokopia moment that makes me think it should be classified as a schedule 1 drug there's a moment where like dartrix cannot figure out how to make a fucking salad no matter how close he is to a cutting board

Link's Awakening is my favorite Zelda, so honestly this felt a bit inevitable

💐💐💐 It's 🪽ANGEL ARCADE🪽 launch day!! 💐💐💐 I hope y'all enjoy my webcomic about some gals playing fighting games. Updates are planned at 1 strip/week. And if you buy the whole first capsule collection, you get 10% off! Thanks for all the support! 🪽 read: angelarcade.net 💝 shop: shop.angelarcade.net

Huge congrats to Matt Braly (@radrappy.bsky.social) on the Clara & the Below Kickstarter so far! $215k (!!!) pledged as of right now! ICYMI: I interviewed Matt ahead of the Kickstarter launch all about his new label, Clara, and the realities of making animation in 2026.

so the way this thing works is that it'll just Say Things at random intervals (and some non-random ones) and whenever it spits out "It feels good to be alive!" a sense of foreboding settles in my chest

i look forward to snagging this on deep, deep discount during an inevitable sale

we're in it for the love of the game, so if you like what we're doing subscribing (which is free!) goes a long way

Really feel for Braly and the larger entertainment industry right now. It's all being run by people who don't care and have no trouble making it clear how much they don't care

this is my favorite interview now

i am 1) very sick today and 2) excited that @radrappy.bsky.social is already smashing his kickstarter goal after speaking with him some weeks back

when i turn 40 i think i will do a couple simultaneous hard pivots. get really into moomin and stouts and yoyo

what are we even doing out here

justice

@shoebill.moe i mean

my general feeling is that we should treat anyone that earnestly says "do more with less" as if there is something medically wrong with them

Can't speak for all press at GDC, but can definitively say the timing this year did not help: I was basically already standing in line for the big Xbox panel in Moscone West when the media hour was happening and imagine many others were too.

gotta say - pretty funny to announce this the day after they said the Buffy revival isn’t happening any more deadline.com/2026/03/nath...

While @amandafarough.ca and I were talking to some press folks at GDC, I told an old QA story that Austin picked up on and decided to write about. Behold, a record of my crimes: www.gamesradar.com/games/fallou...
