The Backstage of the Soul: The House in Fata Morgana
The House in Fata Morgana is a triumph of storytelling, and one of my new favorite games of all time. A special edition of The Great Backlog Project.

In an attempt to wrangle my backlog, I played and wrote about The House in Fata Morgana, a triumph of gothic fiction and now one of my favorite video games of all time.

I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

I am once again begging everyone to play Of The Devil, a truly 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 Cyberpunk. Uses all of the genre strengths of noir to explore fascinating character dynamics with haymaker writing, excellent jokes and lots of visual flair for good measure. Ch 2 just dropped and it's the best yet.

Castration Movie Anthology 1 is really great but Anthology 2 is just Something Else man. An all time New York movie. It's like some mix of Salò and After Hours-but-from-Hell. I'll be thinking about it forever

I'm no marketing genius but if I were making a movie about super heroes I would personally put like a colorful guy or maybe a laser beam in my trailer

this can still be on your GOTY list if you loosen your concept of calendar
Curious typo Anthology of the Killer wasn’t on all GOTY lists🏆 Turns out games dont need 'gameplay loops' and 'juice' they can just be thoughtful, singular and filled with a palpable excitement to exist

Thinking about the piece I wrote earlier this year for No Particular Reason
For the first time in almost a year, I wrote a piece for my personal site (now "relaunched" on beehiv). It is about Clair Obscur and Generative AI and what we are losing. I didn't shop this one around because it is messy and a bit emotional.

I don't think AI evangelists have fully reckoned with how much RAM shortages and price inflation is damaging to their whole enterprise. They've got entire gaming reddits talking like Leninists over NVIDIA cards

That's because the point of the OMNY system isn't to create a single card. It's to create a more flexible fare payment system that specifically does not require a purchase of a card.
It's definitely "goodbye" to the MetroCard simply because it's a tangible symbol of New York. It is globally known and unique.
Its replacement, the OMNY card, will never know this love.
