In my books, I talk about a writer who has holes in his memory from crunch. Forever. He's never getting that part of his memory--his life!--back. And for what? A video game.

Crunch is bad. Crunch ruins lives. Crunch kills. Don't ask for it. Don't do it. It's bad.
I can't believe I still have to say this after all these years.

Décidément, quasiment chacun des jeux que j'aurai fait en 2025 est une petite merveille, quand je fais la retrospective, notamment dans le genre du point & click. Voilà ce que ça donne, sans ordre précis, et avec quelques jeux des années précédentes aussi.

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.
start using "fanworks" again instead of "content" let's go people

all bluesky not having an algorithm means is that all the adhd hyperfocus sickness of the mind posters finally don't get deboosted anymore; free of our shackles we can force everyone to read 50000 posts about blorbo a day every day
could be wrong but I think people took bluesky not having an algorithm to mean you can just post whenever and run and accumulate however many likes you believe you deserve
but no, you still gotta engage with others and be a part of the community

One fun thing about the Japanese is we love the FUCK out of Christmas and have only the loosest concept of what is going on
Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year.
As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet

it is important, I think, to be able to be a pervert. the pervert is a noble and vital part of the ecosystem. you don't need to be one, but you need to be able to be one. or it's just not a healthy environment.

I don't think we talked enough about how great of a game Dispatch is.
Not only as a piece of media, but also you can smell the wonderfull scent of a really well scoped and produced project.
It does what it has to do, do it very well and doesn't overstay its welcome.
I'm VERY impressed!

Not every AAA game needs to be 80+ hours long and take 7 years to make and sell ten million copies to hit “targets.” We don’t need to keep doing that.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out!
Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪

Wicked isn’t queerbaiting but an alternative, funnier thing: a work where everyone involved in every single part of its production is independently committed to making it as gay as possible but nobody wants to be the first to say to the others that it’s what they were doing
