This was an insightful interview the part about disability having sort silver lineing really struck a cord with me.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Edmund McMillen (@edmundm.bsky.social), just days before the launch of his new game, about the uncomfortable silence that comes after shipping a game, the limits of being a parent, and why Mewgenics is such a personal work for him: remapradio.com/articles/edm...
Edmund McMillen Is Still Nervous About Releasing a Video Game
McMillen has had about as critically and commercially successful a career as one could hope for. Yet insecurities come back with each release.

A day for important decisions, like placing a $10 bet on the electric substation getting mentioned during the Super Bowl broadcast. Easy money. College paid for.

The first season of Fallout was great TV. Season two, though? Great performances, but a show spinning its wheels, obsessed with world building absent payoffs, and long stretches without characters in the same place. Bummed! We broke it down on Decoding TV podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...
Ep. 98 - Did 'Fallout' Season 2 Stick the Landing? (Plus: 'The Pitt' S2E05 Asks If You Need a Death Doula)

Just finished watching F1. I’m sorry, but that’s a best picture nominee? I’m going to have to interrogate @robzacny.bsky.social on the next sports podcast.

For @remapradio.bsky.social, a story about a group of Chinese game developers who came to me with a unique pitch: if you write about us, it might help us stay in the country. What is home? My piece on the current intersection of immigration policy and video games: remapradio.com/articles/the...
The Future of These Game Developers Rests on a Visa Application
A small indie group from New York, a mixture of creatives from China and the United States, need the U.S. government to believe they should stay here.

Backing up @patrickklepek.bsky.social - Go Slimey Go! is just a darling little platformer- incredibly simple, but the art is cute, the music is catchy, and the levels are tight and engaging!

It has the essence of a 3DS eShop game- not something I say lightly.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was a great game. But it also shoved kids into "Nabbit Jail," forcing them to play as this weird purple character, instead of, say, Mario. The upcoming Switch 2 update fixes *a lot* of problems! Full details at @crossplayblog.bsky.social www.crossplay.news/p/mario-bros...

First book of 2026 finished: The Ruins, recommended by @kirkhamilton.com. Utterly haunting story about a group of young idiots being slowly killed by their own hubris and, well, the scariest plants ever. Loved it.

AI slop used to be obvious. We'd make fun of it. Now, we’re increasingly running into situations where no one—me, my wife, my 5yo, my 9yo—are 100-percent sure one way or the other. It’s scary and only getting worse. New fear unlocked at @crossplayblog.bsky.social www.crossplay.news/p/my-kids-ca...
My Kids Can’t Avoid AI Slop Anymore
AI videos used to be obviously fake. We made fun of them. That's no longer true, and it's scary.
