to put a finer point on it, there are a lot of journalists who desperately want to cover indies, and are instead forced by the work to instead cover games they only kind of care about instead. any frustration devs feel, the writers also feel, i promise you

Really, really can’t say this loud enough right now. It is HORRIBLE in funding rn. It’s important to keep making art, but devs can’t pay bills if there’s no money available.

Ridiculous how sitting on the floor for 45 mins just this one day has helped with how sore and stiff I feel typically.

I don't talk about it, but ever since I was a teen I've written poetry to help me work through things. Usually I don't share it with anyone, but I'm proud of this one, and some friends convinced me to post it.

Like your body is on autopilot while your mind is stuck in quicksand—going through the motions but sinking a little deeper every day.

the zoot suit Samus meme is interesting because Tom & Jerry's Hep Kats (1943) is really the first "metroidvania." The early route into the girl's house is closed off, so Tom has to collect pieces of more powerful gear and then backtrack. I am making this post specifically to piss off 2-3 game devs.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

EPE was my GotY 2023. I made these kicks for Xalavier as a celebration for such a monumental release, and as appreciation for his friendship and support.

Here’s the thing. Technologically speaking, Avowed is mid. It’s kinda ugly and a little basic looking, and it’s not super slick and refined. But it’s GOOD. It’s FUN. Dear game execs: Not everything has to be super hyper real graphics and multiplayer live service. Just. Make. Good. Games.
