2025 was the year i released my most ambitious solo-developed game yet, got burnt out, refused to learn any lessons from that and then released a second game (in early access) as well.
1 game per calendar year *should* really be enough for anyone...

Aside from the name of this startup (good grief tho), Sonos' UX is some of the absolute worst garbage you can possibly imagine so I have no doubt whatsoever this will be a bag of shite too. But it's only for the rich, so they deserve it I guess.
Sauron is appearing on the scene as concerns rise about crime among the most wealthy.

Took the kid to the Puk puppet theatre for a performance of Strawberries In The Snow. Pretty cool theatre experience with lots of history!

Since Nintendo seems to want to open-world everything, i demand an open-world Luigi Mansion (their best, most underrated IP imho). That would absolutely rock!

The much lamented tragedy of Wind Waker is of course that it needed more dungeons, especially since the few it has are absolute S-tier bangers.

I keep getting served ads for AI "services" on Reddit (on there for business exposure only) and since I can't report them for "ugh no AI please" I just report them as "low effort" ads.

The thing that kills me about Wind Waker is how it doesn't stop the pickup timer during a cutscene.
You kill a monster and then watch a cutscene helplessly as a green rupee blinks out of existence in the background, mashing that A button in the vain hope of grabbing it before it's too late 😫

Ryan has been sharing videos of his games on my (unrelated) Discord and they're charming as all heck. Do check them out! WiPo H4H is full of retro platforming nostalgia!
Hi, new BlueSky people!
I make homemade video games for computers, and I do all sorts of other creative work as well. My current game project is Winnie-the-Pooh Hops for Honey.
I also tend to be the modern internet's Pac-Man guy.
It'd be much appreciated if you can support me by grabbing my games!

An interesting side effect of the death of American hegemony is that American films with some message like "we all have to look after each other" or "our differences make us stronger" just sound...naff now. Just like, who are you trying to kid? 🤷♂️ Your cultural propaganda is empty now.

I had just moved to Japan and had blagged my way into a Nintendo press event where they first showed Wind Waker and it blew my mind. I got a GC on launch day just because WW. It holds a special place in my heart, not just for being the best Zelda but its links with my early Japan days.

Visited Hyrule Castle, got the swift sail, I'm now in the second half of Wind Waker HD where the world has opened up for me to explore!
Its DNA in BotW/TotK becomes more obvious from this stage. Each island is its own mini puzzle temple, for example.

If you're a content creator and want to make a video or article along the lines of "worst of" or "most disappointing of 2025", how about you just don't?

I know this shows me as a small and petty man, but I get quite some enjoyment out of the parent at nursery who acts like "everybody's cool dad" to all the kids, but the kids are all pretty lukewarm about him.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
