I did actually start a Christmas project this year, but I kept procrastinating on it and even now that I've started it's just not coming together well. Even odds this one ever sees the light of day.

Don't know whether I want to dive into the "what counts as indie" discourse so I'll just talk about how I'm looking forward to some of the games that were shown off at The Game Awards.

I know it comes with the patient gamer territory but I'm still salty about picking up a BG3 spoiler hours before it would have been revealed to me in the game

I think at some point the Vancouver, BC and Vancouver, WA game dev lists got intermingled and sometimes my feed gets confusing as hell.

okay I gotta say that enamel pin goes hard (and, as one of my friends put it, is "a very canadian joke")
I'm going to be closing my store again on Sunday so I can focus on work and holiday stuff, so if you meant to grab something earlier in the week, that window is narrowing! Thank you everyone who already ordered!

On a whim I looked up if anyone had ever done a BG3-inspired Doom mod (what a weird combination) and the answer is frustratingly "yes, but it's lost media now"

Baldur's Gate 3 is not a perfect game, but I haven't been this invested in the story, setting, and characters of a game since the Mass Effect original trilogy. And unless it pulls a Mass Effect 3 (or something amazing comes along), I think it's going to be my personal Game of the Decade.

there was a quote I heard in English class a long time ago that was something like "...he said, and walked out the door. Who was that guy? There is no door." It was supposed to be deeply profound, but I joked at the time it was satirizing bad writing.

Finally watched the new Lilo and Stitch. It has its moments, but overall, it's just kind of not as good as the original. The ending wasn't as bad as I'd expected, but also lacked all the layers the original had (and didn't have the chase scene, for some reason).

welp the main twist of Expedition 33 has been randomly spoiled for me... thinking I should pick up The Outer Worlds 2 sooner than later if I want to play it without spoilers

An offhand line in a random fanfic has me thrashing my brain over what instantaneous teleportation even means assuming a relativistic universe. Not even in a "what scenarios would break causality" way but literally "what is the definition of instant"

I was really hoping to do at least a drawing for Halloween this year, but I just don't think I'm going to have the time.

So, uh, is ~~343 Industries~~ Halo Studios just giving up?
A UE5 remake of a game that's already had one remaster, without the beloved multiplayer, is... a choice. Not continuing Infinite's abbreviated campaign, or bringing us something brand new?
