Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

With almost the entire Western system of suppression against Palestinian stories working against him, Rasheed has still managed to bring Dreams on a Pillow to 75% of the campaign goal with two weeks left. Please don't let this dream fail in the last stretch.

Very good writeup on a very good game. I Was A Teenage Exocolonist really touched me back when I played it, and I still think back on it frequently. Imo, this article articulates what is so good about it well.
new article. it's about what cozy and wholesome games are, why shitty people like them, and why I really liked I Was A Teenage Exocolonist.

i was a teenage exocolonist (and so can you)
I’ve realized that I’m much better at discussing broad ranging theory than individual games, just because it’s easier to find ten games…

my interview and review of Mouthwashing is probably the best piece i’ve written in a few years. here’s a gift link.
the game is a message to “certain people in the games industry. I hope they see themselves in it.
And I hope it hurts. I hope it hurts, hurts, hurts.”

Review | ‘Mouthwashing’: A repugnant, tragic play that wants to hurt you
‘Mouthwashing,’ a brief but brutal video game from studio Wrong Organ, is a sci-fi horror fable about men swaddled in narcissistic delusions.

If I stopped pestering you around with Pathologic, it's because I made a game based on the same principles as an ultimate form of advertisement for it.

I love Miro so much! I feel like I finally have some sort of control over all the puzzle locations and the flow of the game. I tend to only work on paper with these things, but aw man, this was NEEDED! So many improvements from prior!
