Time to post it again.

Good

Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox! This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

Has MTG been slowly becoming fortnite in the years I haven’t been paying attention

applying for jobs again

So I worked on a WW2 historical fiction game years ago in my life, and even without AI it felt like a dangerous line to tread, where we all *understand* game is fiction but the reality felt like people might use us as presenting facts to have the burden of research taken from them

Imagine! A social media platform not hosted in the US! Not beholden to the whims of US legislation or US politicians. Would you feel safer there? I'm proud to be able to say that I've been helping out a little with Northsky. Please read Lucca's full thread to find out more. northskysocial.com/join

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “lmao" said Gandalf, “well it has.”

One common sentiment I saw a lot from American hockey enjoyers was that watching the game was nice for having a distraction/time away dwelling on current political/world events. If you're an American reading this, just know that it is a massive privilege that those games got to feel that way for you

Same and I really gotta stress, not even trying to be spiteful/retaliatory! Trying to take us out at the knees economically is just going to make it comparatively that much more expensive to do anything in the US, and some people are already way too comfortable being monstrously cruel towards us.

Board game play stats for 2024. Lots of Dune this year! Probably also lots of Dune next year!

happy 2025 gamers

It's the for-real end of the year, so time to count down Adam's top 10 video games of 2024! 10. SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE The addition of a Tryhard Mode absolutely won me over on this game, less (but not too much less) RNG and public bonus stars, weighted items/shops. The maps rule too!

This game is currently on Big Sale and was definitely my game of the year (and I played & platinumed Astrobot). Can't recommend this enough to anyone remotely interested!

I would appreciate help boosting this change request for Bluesky Moderation on Github: github.com/bluesky-soci... Currently in the @moderation.bsky.app defaults, Intolerance label is set to Warn, while Rude is set to Hide. This means that Intolerance is treated as a lesser offense than being Rude.

Just did a side by side tasting of these two boxes America I have terrible news Kraft mac and cheese is *seriously bad* compared to KD It tastes like the box it arrives in KD ain’t high art or anything but it is leagues better because it doesn’t just taste like stale paper

My last 10 GOTY picks: 2023: Tears of the Kingdom 2022: Elden Ring 2021: Inscryption 2020: Phasmophobia 2019: Death Stranding 2018: Tetris Effect 2017: Resident Evil 7 2016: Final Fantasy XV 2015: Undertale 2014: P.T.

Not in the states but we DID have a big pot of chilli mac & cheese while watching the dog show finals thanksgiving special so it feels sort of like we’re also celebrating in our own way
