i, for one, welcome our new regime. アメリカへようこそ、ニンテンドー社長!

This games industry bloodbath is because of corporate mismanagement and pure, unrestrained avarice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

i am *so fucking tired* of seeing entire legacies of games, history, art, creativity, and brilliance get thrown out, because a handful of exec/mba/"senior leader" types fundamentally do not understand, respect, or care about games, the people who work in games, or the reasons why people make games.

don't reskeet in anger. at least, not today.

the posting on this website has become far too powerful

i am 33 and currently own alvvays' blue rev, hop along's get disowned and swearin's self-titled on tape, cd and vinyl (and regularly listen to all of them!) we're out here!

they're in love

my wish list of indies in 2025 is getting so stacked, omg

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

watched the first two eps and it's *unbearable* online centrist trash all the way down. nothing to say, no point to make, just a dumpster fire of "hey, this guy sure is a lot like [political figure], right?!", and a *less* nuanced take on the old 24 dilemma ("good" man v extraordinary circumstances)

METS BASEBALL. ON MY TEE VEE.

it was a privilege to be a cis dude standing out there in the rain fighting alongside y'all. show up! it matters.

hmm, idk about this. my sampling (the very broad and diverse collection of wonderful people i'm following on this website) indicates that we're actually somewhere between 85 and 90%

at the point in my japanese learning where i'm looking up kanji all the time and man, languages are cool familiarity OR contempt! so flexible!

the posting on this website is out of control (complimentary)

i've now spent my last 3 therapy sessions talking about encroaching authoritarianism and i don't think it's helping but my therapist said all of his patients are so i guess it's fine

well, this is apocalyptic for the franchise. oh well. side note: a lot of y'all seem surprised by the name 'Barbara Broccoli', but the thing you should really know is that at one point she claimed that her family *invented the vegetable* www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

I talked to developers about Microsoft's newly announced generative AI model, Muse, and its role in video games: "When we rely on this stuff we are implicitly empowering a class of people who own these tools and don’t give a fuck about how they reshape our lives." www.wired.com/story/xbox-m...

i have once again remembered that hop along is the most important band in the universe

gameplay is inherently a human experience. you can’t AI data train your way into a computer understanding what “feels” fun. you need humans arguing about that and almost destroying their friendships to get there

plausibility aside, for some devs there isn't anything more exciting than getting to work on legacy game preservation and compatibility. to hand that off to some slop algorithm is fucking criminal.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

dear @schiff.senate.gov: next time a constituent writes you, pleading with you to: - please stop conducting business as usual in the senate and treat this as an actual emergency, and - please start standing up for trans and queer americans don't respond at all.

If you find yourself asking what you're "supposed" to feel in reaction to a piece of media, can I recommend living as though you had free will
