Guild Wars 2's Roller Beetle is still far and away the most fun singular feature in any MMO. God this shit kicks so much ass

1. Concurrent support for GW1, 2 and 3 is awesome. Good of ANet, I hope it pays off. 2. Holy shit seeing Colin as the face of ANet after all these years is so wild.

Been severely writing-blocked lately but trying out a new writing software and feeling cynical about not-E3 got this out of me.

Been fun(?) seeing the street fighter heads live out the same stages of grief MTG folks have been grappling with for the last year.

Might be time for a GW2 front to back replay if any gamers are interested...

You know that's right

Gamefreak's Beast of Reincarnation looks a lot more compelling than I'd imagined. Really expected this to be a fairly whitebread little action game with strong art direction but it seems to have a fair bit going on. Might have to pick this up if reviews are positive.

GW3's website has finally stopped erroring out. They list a bunch of traversal/exploration features and what seems to be an allusion to GW1-esque buildcraft. Not really sure what this game is going to be but it's clearly a departure from the originally envisioned pvp-focused Guild Wars lore.

oh so it was intentional. i take back any good faith hope. WOW.

BREAKING: the Massachusetts House just passed one of the best data privacy bills in the country. It includes a total ban on the sale of precise location data and includes a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech over data abuses. HUGE WIN! But there’s more work to do 🧵

The idea of public funds going to public software that's free in both senses is a good one. Really hope that given the intermingling of US tech, surveillance, and military-industry, this becomes a widely used counterstrategy.

Trying different markdown editors since Ellipsus has been giving me grief the last couple months. Obsidian feels pretty great but man I hate subscription models. I get why they're necessary for syncing but I wish I could just pay up front.

Fuck this little gremlin bro

Friendly reminder not to touch anything from modretro.

I will stand firm in the face of hour+ long advertisement shows. You will never get my viewership Jeff. Eat my ass

Created an RSS feed to track youtube posts while blocking google cookies finally. This shit's pretty nice, ngl. Not quite a beefy selfhosted setup but it'll do.

Been working on a short followup video; but for now if you haven't heard yet, I started a new Youtube channel where Ill be posting game design talks. My first one is about perception, reality, and game balance. Please like and subscribe to help me out and spread the word. youtu.be/uCPQGncOx-Q?...

Circle Takes The Square's As the Roots Undo might be a top 5 alltimer...

My HCLs kinda nice

Bro what fucking time vortex are we trapped in? What is happening?

Pictured: the fucking RAT who woke me up 3 hours after I got to bed post-only mids.

🎇 Congratulations to our OM39 top 8! Big turnout tonight coming off of the Combo Breaker hype, and appreciate all the new faces fighting their hearts out on stream. See y'all next month for more OM! 🎇 🥇 shleet 🥈 @mightyjoey2.bsky.social 🥉 @sofisht.ink #rev2forev2

"How was only mids tonight?" "Oh, well y'know..."

Seeing a lot of glowing reviews for 007: First Light, which should help its chances for winning best indie game of the year.

Adventures of Elliot feels like a Zelda game if it was designed via a focus group-made checklist. It handles... fine but boring. Writing is... fine but boring. RPG mechanics are totally unnecessary, its extremely on rails, and the VO is annoying. Unfortunate.

new Everest just dropped

This is so fucking funny

I did the thing. #DashCon #ComboBreaker #CB2026

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK

I'm good now, gamers

Been struggling with writers block so I'm writing about pet peeves again. Here's hoping it turns in to something informative and interesting and not completely frenetic.

On this day 12 years ago, we launched Transistor, our second game.🎤 To everyone who experienced Red's journey through Cloudbank, thank you for playing! Please enjoy a slice of Junction Jan's, on us. Your choice? 🍕Supremo Deluxe 🥦Harvest Garden 🦐Sea Monster ❓Mystery Jan's

Getting my promotion at work after all. Was pretty worried given Higher Ed is more or less fucked across the board, but it's something. Bit more money into savings and a title that looks a bit better for whenever I do decide to move on. We live another day.

Got turtle and then new turtle quest releases the next day. Coincidence!?

Hello Bluesky. It's Playboy. For our first, and timely post, we share our latest investigation into OpenAI's disastrous plans to become x-rated. "Altman’s idea of an “erotica” feature seemed riddled in uncertainty." Read our piece "Why ChatGPT Can't Be Sexy" here: www.playboy.com/read/politic...

If this proves true it will be the thing that keeps me playing but I am not optimistic given the lax (to be kind) treatment of the format the last couple years.

Got a turtle, this is what it's all about

Happy for the Modern players. Pioneer continues to get changes a format out of date. Would be very nice if WOTC had someone on the B&R committee who played the format.
