I don't hate on bad games if they clearly make an effort. I will forever love The Demon Rush for shooting for the moon and blowing its own legs off. But when I see an RPG Maker game proudly announcing that it's part-written by ChatGPT? Fuck everyone involved in that game. Absolute losers.

I long for a time when we had silly goofball movies to watch, and intelligent serious people in power. Now we have intelligent serious movies, and silly goofballs in power.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Between Blippo+ and Silent Hill f, my favourite gaming experiences of 2025 have been all about repeated plays, uncovering new connections and re-interpreting the meanings written between the lines. My favourite discoveries have been stories that are not explicitly shown on screen or in gameplay.

Refuse to be lectured-to about political violence by those who disappear people and kidnap children off the streets.

I think it would be beneficial to everyone if every man woman and child in America put their phones down for a couple days.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

After boarding a bus yesterday, I saw a gormless rube asking ChatGPT where it was going. Blindly getting on a bus and asking ChatGPT where it’s headed is a perfect microcosm of where we are as a society. Especially when buses have readily available route maps for anyone willing to pull them up.

American mainstream political culture makes a lot more sense when you realize that most people's goal is not to improve their own conditions but rather to make the people they imagine to be their enemies mad

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

What if writing dialogue was a joyful, purposeful, and creative task? What if I wanted to read dialogue somebody else had written, to connect with them through their ideas and stories? What if creation was about more that churning out #Product as quickly and cheaply as possible?

What’s this? A new Pulp adventure game from the creator of the absolutely stellar Resonant Tale? Playdate owners are eating goooooood this month

I’d already committed to preordering Playdate Season 2 before I learned it contains a special surprise: Blippo+ seems to be a weird af, LIVE 1bit FMV ARG. I’ve been channel surfing for the last couple days, trying to unwrap its mysteries. What new discoveries will future broadcasts bring??

Friends, if you are in NYC please come to this special screening of Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut FUTURE BOY CONAN. It's always been a dream so have something like this screen at Japan Society to help celebrate this series' place in anime history.

if you'd like to see a wide re-release of Hundreds of Beavers in theaters this year, one night only, in thousands of cities — repost this. we've got some doubters.

I'm glad using AI is making your brain deteriorate, you deserve it

Gamers are the fucking worst.

Gaming is an expensive hobby. We’ve forgotten this because of Steam Sales.

Nicholas Cruz shot and killed 17 people at Parkland school. He's in prison. Luigi Mangione killed 1 person and they're seeking the death penalty. What's the difference? The kids at Parkland weren't millionaires.

I know it got way overshadowed by other big announcements, but that Wheelchair Basketball game looks promising. Two-handed mouse & gesture controls is a cool idea. I wonder if the mouse will work if you play it on your lap?

To those despairing at fascist propagandists using genAI to cynically ape the look of Studio Ghibli: put your phone in a drawer & watch yr favourite Ghibli film with your heart wide open. Embrace the life that flows from each frame. Ghibli is more than a static aesthetic; it’s a spirit of vitality.

Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

If y’all are mad the new Katamari game is exclusive to Apple Arcade, I have great news: Keita Takahashi, the originator of everything we all love about the Katamari Damacy franchise, has a new game coming out in May: to a T. Get hype for that, instead! youtu.be/E-QlrrC4vFk?...

In March 1945, the United States War Department created an 8-page fact sheet about fascism for the Army to distribute to soldiers. Wow. This should be mandatory reading now: archive.org/details/Army...

Unbelievable...

After watching @techconnectify.bsky.social's recent video about algorithmic complacency, (www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...) look what popped up in my Home feed.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

They cant get my data if i am Fully Dissolved in a bath tub full of sodium hydroxide

“Lots of Switch 2 leaks and rumours right now, looks like we’re gonna hear an announcement & release date by the end of the day. I’d stake my reputation as a Nintendo YouTuber on it” The leaks & rumours: *flicker and dance hauntingly on the cavern wall*

A late-arriving Xmas gift ensures I’ll be playing in style in 2025 😎

yknow what, Gamers may take Mario Kart for granted as an easy game everyone knows how to play, but it’s surprisingly complicated to introduce to new players who didn’t grow up playing it at sleepovers. There’s a lot of stuff to learn at the beginning! Very chaotic game.

I’m getting a lot of satisfaction by realizing I have forgotten the title of that one ninja game from a few years back, that everyone loved but I just couldn’t get into. I wanna say “It’s on the tip of my tongue!” but no, no I’m happier to have freed up that space in my memory.

Why, oh why, do Microsoft Office app icons all look virtually indistinguishable at a glance? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve Command-Tabbed into Microsoft Word or Teams, when I wanted Microsoft Outlook, (or vice versa) just today.

It took me nearly three years, but I’ve finally surpassed my previous Top Score in Balloon Fight. Someday, that maxed out score will be mine 💪

Big day for billionaires, white supremacists and christofascists

So I guess the lesson here is that there are simply more Americans who are tolerant & supportive of open bigotry and fascism than not. Sympathy and love for all the good & decent people left in America. Good luck living with your countrymen for the next 4 years.

If you’re election-anxious, why not do something constructive to pass the time like me, and hand-draw a map of Clocktower on Super Famicom

I watched Joker 2 and it’s not nearly the mess the fandom is making it out to be. I won’t say it deserves awards but the filmmakers were TRYING at something here. It exposes toxic fans’ resistance to engage with a film that attempts at doing something other than “giving the fans what the fans want”

I’m having SO MUCH FUN with UFO 50’s 45th game: Mini & Max. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed any other game in 2024 as much as this!! It seems custom-tailored to appeal to my tastes in exploration games. Just when you think you’ve seen it all…there’s vastly more to discover. This game was made for me.

UFO 50 has been a delight to rummage through over the weekend: 1. Night Manor, a creepy point&click horror adventure 2. Seaside Drive, a juicy car-shmup that juggles shooting & dodging with maintaining a gunpower meter 3. Mini & Max, 2D exploration platformer that plays with scale in an exciting way

As a Mac-using console pleb, my ability to play UFO 50 has been limited to using my wife’s windows laptop like
