I mean, we knew which game would win when we created the category, but the other nominees really show off how versatile the word "frustrating" can be.

Is this entry in the Cyberpunk 2025 series mostly just an excuse for an anti-capitalist screed? Yes, but it's also cyberpunk.
Part 6 of Jeff's Cyberpunk 2026 series is here with a look a (The) Minority Report and surveillance capitalism. (And one mention of Cyberpunk 2077 shoehorned to keep it relevant.)

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Puzzle Parasite is a lot of fun and well worth the $15. It's also a cautionary tale about scifi explorers touching every damn glowing alien orb they trip over.
@wrenfall.bsky.social gives us a really clever little puzzler that explores just how many of the universe's problems could be solved with a cricket bat.
