Had a great evening at Untited Game Event! Krish killed it again, I'm excited about the new Amsterdam experimental games scene 😂
Tip: it will be a monthly event, you should definitely go to the next one!

The game added official Simplified Chinese localization just before winter sale, and has since hit new PCCU record and is currently the #3 best selling paid game on Steam in China and got nearly 1k positive reviews in Chinese language. Finally a good ending
I finished the first half of The Roottrees are Dead and so far it’s been amazing, the investigative gameplay and writing capture the fun of reality TV in a sense, great for people who like studying interpersonal relationships and behaviours (or some people might call this element ‘drama’).

It seems that the post has been permanently censored and the OP’s account remains banned. People are changing their usernames to OP’s handle to commemorate this event and to show support. I also saw some Weibo posts discussing this getting censored on Weibo
People are calling this post a godtier opener for 2026 because it captures the undeniable tension in the patriarchal institution of marriage in China. The post has got over 1.3M likes within a day, and has been censored and uncensored for over 5 times. As of now OP’s account has also been banned.
Hahahah so this post on Xiaohongshu has gone viral. Describing this guy and saying "What would I need to bring to the table for him to marry into my family?", waited for all the mens' opinions to build up and then revealed that the post was about herself and thanked them all for the compliments 😂

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

Get really into dinosaurs. That's my recommendation for a happier life. Each day, I get news like "Look at this big freak that used roam the Earth!" or "Ya know the big freak you already loved? Fossils show it was even more freakish!" and it's a blessing every time.

2025 was an uneventful year for me and perhaps because of this the speed at which time passes this year felt very funny. That being said I'm extremely grateful for the peace in uneventfulness, and that I spent a lot of quality time with family and friends, more than I had planned.

What if Clair Obscur is a Sword-and-Fairy-like have you thought about that
I really hate how games media handles anything out of China: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...
We're getting a gorgeous remake of one of their best RPGs ever, but the clown does zero research about it and just goes "I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."

We've Got Our First Clair Obscur-like, And It's A Chinese Game Called Sword And Fairy 4: Remake
Some shots almost looks like a Clair Obscur DLC.

We are now entering the weird liminal space between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Anything could happen during this time. You could feel weirdly nostalgic, you could see a photo of a cat, you could remember to feed your Neopets. The possibilities are endless.
