I'm quite interested in the histories of other art forms and their relationship with commerce, so of course I'm reading a book about Kate Bush, singular musical auteur and commander of her own destiny since '77

Really hoping that anyone making a "Games to look forward to in 2026" list hasn't forgotten about our game, Forbidden Solitaire, which is due out early in 2026.

Forbidden Solitaire on Steam
Forbidden Solitaire is a card-slashing horror game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. From the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

By any reasonable historical standard β including that of the technology industry! β ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

Every conversation about genAI in games reinforces two things for me: 1. People don't know how games are made 2. People know what they like, but they don't know whether something is good

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

In other words, D&D-like imaginative play became possible during certain periods, often among women, and much of its history has been barely noticed in favor of the wargaming that bloomed *among only men* during the hyper-reactionary 1820-1848 period.

Just read a BBC article about thieves who targeted gay men using Grindr. They threatened and humiliated their targets, hoping they'd be too ashamed to report the crimes. The blatant homophobia used by lawyers in court about the victims is really awful! It basically reads as 'they deserved it'!

You know the "eerily polite family is a clan of cannibals" trope. Failbetter will have their eerily polite family want you to stay and sleep so your dreams about the sun will cause a crystal to slowly form in your brain that will later be painfully extracted and traded for a story of blood

The Failbetter sunless games are one of those deals where I don't think everyone will love them but if they ARE your thing they will become a part of your personality. If you like worldbuilding, weird bullshit, reading a lot of text, and feeling very small and out of your depth, give em a look

I do think this is true. I'm often guilty myself of underplaying what the work I do looks like or how much time and effort it takes. Research isn't 'just reading' or a question of sucking up summaries others have created. It's knowledge creation. So let me go through the process with an example 1/
