I do appreciate this sentiment but I do think there's something a bit off where games like Horses get banned for sexual content but stuff like this, literally the first thing to pop up when I click into the Steam search bar, is apparently fine?

It's almost embarrassing how hyped I get when Team Mongolia do their archer battle cry in Physical Asia, they're all so cool.

I'd argue the Quarantine from Apocalypse World is functionally an isekai character.

Tax man beating my ass rn

"Rules elide," I tell the tax man.

Always hated this passage. If a GM spoke to me this way while expressing frustrations about a system I'd slap them.

NORCO's a Christmas game. 65% off on Steam through December 12th.

Very easily. Every person in there is miserable and doing an impression of what they think is a cool and self-actualized person looks like. It must feel like being surrounded by ghosts

im sorry but dungeons and dragons is not a game where you can "do anything". the game where you can do anything is freestyle roleplaying on the neopets message boards

older gamers aren't mad about wokeness in games. we're mad that DND 4th Edition was jettisoned for the mechanically inferior 5th Edition

Thinking about this, I feel like some designers believe their game worlds really, truly exist, and so lack game-wide options as an attempt at "realness". But I always felt there's something weird about that belief in the realness of a game, people should be engaging with the game aware it is fiction

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical. They're AI-generating the music here. Fuck that.

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

Sitting down to make an Official Traveller TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Fireball" and writing "Fusion Gun, Man Portable" next to it

It's a teatament to Tom Bloom's character design chops that you still get people whooping for Layla Brimstone, a chatacter who's had a grand total of one word of dialogue the entire series. The say nothing of the Baby

The most powerful Magic: The Gathering card of all time.

This is what is actually meant by the term "fruitful void" as opposed to the thing that certain corners of the hobby are trying to redefine it to, "the game is better if you don't have rules for stealth"

We ARE the Weeping Gorilla.

Cheating slightly because I played Sekiro for the first time this year.

we tried clinton-brand centrism, we tried obama-brand centrism, we tried biden-brand centrism, it's time to move on to what america really needs in the white house: a big dog that eats republicans

This photo of Andreza Giant Panda vs Unagi Sayaka is incredible.

You keep seeing people point to the success of games like Clair Obscur as evidence that smaller studios are revolutionising the industry and Indies are the future of gaming. And then you look at the 'Most Anticipated Game' category at the Game Awards and its all AAA sequels and franchise tie ins.

I used to read through Transmetropolitan once a year and while I still enjoy it for the most part it's become really difficult to ignore how for all its counter cultural bravado it is fundamentally just libbing out: the comic.

Going through some old RPG notes, still very happy with this mystery I wrote for the Between.

On the one hand Disney are invested in LLMs and financially need this to work, on the other this inevitably leads to videos of Mickey dicking down Yensid in the hour. I think ends up with knife fights at HQ.

Well that's a massive fucking shame. One fewer game to buy I guess.

Unfortunately Keating also introduced the concept of mutual obligations and then found that lots of public servants didn’t want to enforce rules that would cut people’s payments off and then concluded you’d have to start privatising some of it then. He laid the groundwork for Howard’s butchery

Some people you give your time & receive gifts a thousandfold over. It's not that you calculated it, or contracted it, it just is that echo of the blessed in Dante's Paradise, who say "lo, here comes one who will increase our loves." A mirror of light, who sees you truly but also your best self.

One year later, and I got to have a brief reunion with my pal Juan Carlos. He's as handsome as ever.

in my dream i was being really nice to this kid and he called me a new slur for people who are really nice

This is so much funnier now LOL

I can't *fucking* believe I didn't get the joke was that Dr Vegapunk uses his Apple to communicate with the Cloud until I listened to this episode.

Following Dominic Tarason is fucked up, man. You'll think you're reasonably across all the good indie shit that's out there. Then you see a thread of his float onto your timeline and come to with another dozen games you want to check out.

I'm one of the legions of people whose brain was completely rewritten when the first iteration of Apocalypse World came out nearly 20 years ago, time to do it all again baby.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happene...Hm? Oh, never mind.

Often I've reflected that this selection makes it look like I drive like a maniac, which is about as far from true as it could possibly be.
