Zohran Mamdani is now the mayor of New York City, so, naturally, I wrote about Promise Mascot Agency. www.polygon.com/mamdani-gras...
Zohran Mamdani won a race that only felt possible in a video game
Suddenly, Promise Mascot Agency became the most relevant game of 2025

KINGDOM HEARTS 2 KINGDOM HEARTS 2 KINGDOM HEARTS 2 (i probably liked nintendogs the most in 2005 though i’ll he honest)
Quote this with your favourite game NOW that was released in 2005, and what your favourite was THEN (if you had one)

another emotional day as, at the time of me typing this skeet, i didn't know i would be supporting bloober team's launch of "layers of fear: the final masterpiece edition" on the switch 2 today!!! unbelievable full circle moment from the gamer in college to the PR specialist of the present day :')
it's kind of surreal that roughly 8 years ago i was playing layers of fear in a college dorm room as one of those new indie horror titles on the block and now im working with bloober team 🧍

i LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing people's analyses and critiques of horror so much. the genre is so reflective of any given era where the art in question originates and the seamless blend of historical context, what frightens us, and why it does never gets old. i love you, horror genre!!!

I adore the work and advocacy of Larian, and wish it extended to respecting and refining the craft used in *all* of their processes, rather than selectively eroding them with AI--especially because it's those refined processes that have produced the games so many loved over their last three titles.

Concept art, ideating, temp and placeholder art is where the magic happens. It's also a place for more junior folks on a team to contribute work and get better at it. There is no GenAI replacement for that experience and collaboration. It's going to hurt the team and project in the long term.
