The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

my interview and review of Mouthwashing is probably the best piece i’ve written in a few years. here’s a gift link. the game is a message to “certain people in the games industry. I hope they see themselves in it. And I hope it hurts. I hope it hurts, hurts, hurts.” wapo.st/41MLouD

My opinions are ever shifting, but I think my GOTY top ten shortlist right now is (in no particular order) Selaco Nine Sols Lorn's Lure Angel At Dusk Arco UFO 50 Caves of Qud Path of Exile 2 Robotnik's Ring Racers Abiotic Factor Those are the ones that resonated with me, personally.

I have GOT to shout out the incredible game Make Way by @icebeamgames.bsky.social. If anybody is looking for a great couch co-op time I can't recommend it enough. It's Ultimate Chicken Horse but building this little racing track of chaos.

I'm loving season 2 of Arcane so far, but man those opening music video expositions before the title theme are just not good at all.
