Scribblin'.
I was hoping today wouldn't be 18 hours and the monkey's paw made it 19.
Another 18 hour day. And to think I didn't get into medicine like my family because I wanted to work less.

The "Darkside Detective" games are genuine classics; laugh-out-loud funny with kindness at their core.

*And* the devs and publisher are really lovely, thoughtful people.

I couldn't be more excited for a game announcement. Please get these games! I promise you they're great.

These are enjoyable, bite-sized games. Give them a go before they're gone?
'A Normal Lost Phone', 'Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story' & 'Alt-Frequencies' are getting delisted on January 30th 2026.

They are currently on sale for less than a $1.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

Big news (for me)! Signal boost appreciated!

TL;DR: I’ve posted a new interactive voiceover demo at dominicarmato.com, and I’m lookin’ for work.

For the long version, read on!… (1/7)

Hey, maybe violating a "fragile ceasefire" 400+ times isn't actually a ceasefire, just a slaughterhouse with branding to draw people's attention away?

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

Actually true, by the way. This isn't a shitpost. They were named Fadi and Jum’a Abu Assi, and they were 8 and 11 years old.

@spookydoorway.bsky.social You guys might want to consider removing the accented e from "Séance", since the game doesn't show up when I search my Steam wishlist with "seance" instead. (I found it by searching for "Blake Manor".)

I hope I finally get a normal, full-time job in London soon. I'm not happy to leave (and prepare myself mentally for the fourteen meetings I have scheduled this week, four with VIPs). This on top of wanting to write more, make something meaningful.

Melancholic morning. But fingers crossed.

We're thrilled to see The Séance of Blake Manor listed at number 6 on the AP's list of 2025's top video games! 🤩

It "digs deep into Irish folklore and history, adding an urgent element of class struggle to a very effective ghost story."

AdventureX was the first conference I've ever been to for fun. Everyone was really welcoming, the devs all talented and warm people. I had a great time.

@eliedgo.bsky.social I'm trying to read your message, but (being in England), the bloody thing needs my ID, and I refuse. Oh, this country.

Found this in a listing, but I do love epigraphs for the stories they tell.

I don't know how some people operate. Is money worth all this grief in Sudan, Yemen, Palestine, Myanmar, the Congo, everywhere?

And thus, the only ones not involved in the plan for Palestine's future are the Palestinians. A genocidal country and its funder decide, to loud applause, that the genocide will go unpunished, the victims unheard, the land stolen, a future in the hands of the perpetrators only.
