very obviously my actual main viewing is hours and hours of people playing my games so i can look for unreported bugs and interface problems :D
so at first i was like "is twitch deliberately censoring indie games from the roundup?" but I think it's just because it's not live.

Twitch's "your year recap" claims my top viewing categories are:
Deep Rock Galactic (literally never even heard of it)
Tabletop RPG (I have not watched a single tabletop RPG on twitch this year)
Warframe (Well, I know what that IS, but I have never and would never watch anyone play it)
wtf.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

I want to buy things in the Steam sale because I want to support other devs. But I have an enormous backlog. I haven't touched most of what I've bought in 2025, I've FORGOTTEN most of what I bought in 2025/2024.

All the Adventures, All of 2025
Congrats, you survived 2025! (Mostly. As of this writing, still a little time left.) I’ve already done a review roughly mid-year because I “finished” 1982; you can read about that…

Since 2012, Arthur O'Dwyer has had an updating web page called The Search for LONG0751 about a lost version of Adventure that was playable on Compuserve. It has long been one of the top early "missing" games.
It is now found and playable:

"Time-sensitive items" like mail-in ballots. Anything to disenfranchise people.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!
