All time great advice.
Tl; dr. Writing is the passion. If you feel deflated by what you're writing about now, write about something else. A specialty is not assigned at birth. Write about birds or architecture or the environment. Just do it well.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is, secretly, Shadow the Hedgehog 2.

If that's not the only review you need, I can't help you.

Could an LLM generate something this gorgeous? Theoretically. Sure.

Does it matter? No. What matters is that these images came out of humans making the impossible feel true.

A calculator vomitting pre-digested creations will never nourish the soul because it isn’t in dialogue with other souls.

We should probably promote this show more, it’s true.

You get it all when you back this show: talk about games no other podcast is going to cover—that glorious middle lane between AAA drudgery and indie obscurity that always gets lost in the internet drag—and Shatner-ian readings of old R&B songs.
we'll be fine for a bit, will probably put out a formal Work Please post once things have settled, but in the meantime i should probably try to plug the podcast i do with my best friends @ajohnagnello.bsky.social and @susanarendt.bsky.social a bit more www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

Rest in warriordom, my brother.
Years ago I interviewed Tomonobu Itagaki at E3. I said: "Isn't this weird? We're in a room in a fake building inside a giant building so we can talk about *pretend* buildings you made."

He put on his sunglasses and said: "I too think of myself as a warrior."

My wife made this for my birthday.

Every single investor and executive in gaming: this is reality.

The "massive audience" you think is going to suddenly reveal itself and give you the fantasy dividend you're imagining doesn't exist.

Core gaming, hyper enthusiast, whatever you want to call it: endless growth doesn't exist there.
Hyper enthusiast, price-insensitive players are really keeping things going, especially in the non f2p gaming space.

According to Circana's Q3 2025 Future of Games, only 4% of US video game players buy a new game more often than once per month, with a third of players not buying any games at all.

I've got good news and bad news for our $10 patrons.

The good news is, the long-awaited Mother 3 episode with very special guests @ajohnagnello.bsky.social and @bobservo.bsky.social is here and it's over two hours long!

The bad news is where I found it...

I can't imagine why so many people are turning to violence when US authorities and their ceaseless propaganda machines keep encouraging real violence.

I was 15 when Digimon first came out. Just a *little* too old for it, but it wasn't impossible especially with PS1. But it never hit me.

Looking in from the outside, the excitement for the new game is infectious. Then I look at it...

Real question: why is this new game making people freak out?

Yep, and the push to make games faster/cheaper is only going to make the discoverability/time problem worse.

Need more players to catch up, but post 2020-21 finding new players has been a massive challenge. They're all already playing.

Funny that State of Play ended with something from Insomniac because most of the show could cure someone with that condition.

Not Saros, though. That was perfect.

Calling all Mega Man nerds. I'm looking at you @nadiaoxford.bsky.social, @jparish.bsky.social and @tolkoto.com.

I hope you guys dig the sequence and track selection I put together for this. It's really difficult to wrangle any of the OSTs after X4 into a pure listening experience.
What's on the Mega Man Zero/ZX: The Collection 5LP box set?

Here's a Spotify playlist of the tracklist, covering selections from Mega Man Zero 1-4, ZX & ZX Advent: open.spotify.com/playlist/1L0...
