i'm having a blast with mewgenics. it very well could be my game of the year. still, it's addicting in a way that sometimes doesn't feel great for my brain. here's a video about nine indie games you've never heard of to help you break up your marathon cat-breeding sessions.

I love writing for Nintendo Life. Here's some thoughts on Escape from Ever After, a recent Paper Mario-like that I thoroughly enjoyed!

@maddymakesgames.com and @midimyers.com will you be on my podcast? I'm a big fan and really don't want it to be all white dudes. I'm already a white dude and that's bad enough in its own right. The Maddys would make a stellar episode to break through internet apathy and light the flame of joy!!

I interviewed Jakob Wahlberg for the first episode of Indie Game Garden. We talked about what it takes to make games with heart. You can find it on your podcatcher of choice by searching "indie game garden." Super excited for this project! Thanks, @jakobwahlberg.bsky.social :)

Just finished @wnwagner.bsky.social’s Girl in the Creek. It’s a gory, exceedingly fun read. Got to the point where I had to devour the last third in one sitting.
It’s also a love letter to the Pacific Northwest. Makes me feel honored to walk in these woods!
Definitely pick up a copy in July 🍄 🌲

Buried deep in a thread is the intersection of my media loves — the podcaster I pretty much exclusively listen to is gaming. I’m writing short stories, and the world’s exploding. Things are bleak! (and beautiful)
The indignancy is maybe the worst part. The sheer how the the fuck dare they of it all. Still, one day we'll wake up to a sweet headline.
I'm playing Red Dead Redemption, cos I'm taking solace in riding around assaulting racists.

So fun catching up with @wnwagner.bsky.social at Emerald City Comic Con. We love an impromptu @talkscaredpod.bsky.social meet-up. Couldn’t be happier — thanks for the book and the signing, Wendy! (Loving the new sweatshirt, too, Neil)
