Playing Silksong, I cannot stop thinking about how brilliant the design of the 'poison' status is. Not the one Hornet inflicts with the Pollip Pouch, but the poison status the Muckmaggots give the player. I've always found negative status effects in games appealing but poorly executed. #SKONG-design

I've used Google Reader (RIP), Feedly, Inoreader and now Readwise. I like Readwise but I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

NEW: Yacht Club Games needs a hit. In recent years the maker of Shovel Knight has had to lay off staff, pause a 3D project, and delay their next game indefinitely.

The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: I spoke to Team Cherry about Silksong DLC, cut content, difficulty settings, storytelling, what they were thinking with Bilewater, the lack of signposting for Act 3, whether they'll do another Hollow Knight game, and much, much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I’ll have what she’s having

Pretty happy with @kagi.com so far. I especially like getting an email every month reminding me about the upcoming charge. Some services don't even bother sending invoices via email every month.

Absolutely essential viewing from @chrisbratt.bsky.social on Rockstar’s sackings, which appear to be the single most flagrant example of union busting in the history of the videogames industry. Rockstar has provided absolutely zero evidence to support any of their claims. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

Latest font released by indestructible type* is pretty neat.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Whenever I do some complicated setup in any kind of tool I rarely use I always regret not writing detailed notes on how I did everything step by step. In a couple of months whenever I revisit the tool/setup I'll be completely lost and waste lots of time trying to understand what I did.

I recently set up my first multicam project and 'complex' visual layout for a video interview I'm editing, and I could not believe how difficult it is to do the most basic things in Premiere. It's really beyond me how stuck in the past Adobe's UI/UX is.

@thisweekinvideogames.com hey, I got a new number for my credit card and got an email from TWIVG asking to update my payment details. I login and choose the plan I had ($10) and then I see this screen below. Nothing is rendered and I can't do anything. This happens on both Firefox and Chrome.

@fastmail.com hey, I just received an email from info@fastmail.com about a payment not being processed. I recently updated my credit card and thought it was related to that as other services asked me to update my payment method. But I hesitated and looked at the email again and its a scam

@sunderfolk.com hey, while searching for the game in the Play Station store, the game doesn't show up. In the photo you can see the first results but scrolling through the list the game just isn't there. I'm on PS5, my account is from the US but I'm in Costa Rica.

Disco Elysium offers a tremendous variety of roleplaying choices & alternate solutions I will never see because they'd disappoint Kim Kitsuragi
