Rollerdrome being delisted is a god damn travesty

a good game can turn into a great game if it sucks a little bit in an interesting way

Starting off our new issue on Stalker: Heart of Chornobyl with @reidmccarter.bsky.social writing about the subtle spirituality of the zone: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2025/01/13/a...

I'm far from the first person to say this but a fundamental and increasing issue with games media and how we talk about games with Themes is an unavoidable lack of media literacy and/or engagement with forms of art that aren't video games (or nerd media, really).

Our latest podcast episode is a free edition of Recall of Duty, with @youmeyou.bsky.social, @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social, and @reidmccarter.bsky.social talking about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. www.bulletpointspodcast.com/post/7700367...

having a steam sale browse. dude there are so many video games. steam might be the worst platform on earth at showing them to me

I still think this was a mad genius move

Our issue on Silent Hill 2, the original and remake, comes to a close with @strida.bsky.social on the 2024 version. bulletpointsmonthly.com/2024/11/20/t...

The Game Awards' power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings

Excited to dive into this one, I loved Citizen Sleeper

I made a 5 minute phone call that's been hanging over me for 2 and a half years and this is my reward

16 colors on the pc-98, a platform with no transparency. A great example of pixel art wizardry .

It's Halloween and @reidmccarter.bsky.social and @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social talked about the Silent Hill 2 remake a whole lot for a new podcast episode. www.bulletpointspodcast.com/post/7658588...

New this week, @reidmccarter.bsky.social on Silent Hill 2 (2001), Silent Hill 2 (2024), and seeing a dream far too clearly: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2024/10/24/r...

Playing Indika, nice. (but seriously, a game scene with palpable sexual tension, let's go)

I reviewed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for the Times www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/a...

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

Watched Vertigo letterboxd.com/neilisainmdo... Hitchcock sure had a thing for a character just kind of falling off a cliff; The End.

It's time to take a rest... Been working on so much stuff lately! Animations, models, UIs, all to make the Rest Spot in ABYSS X ZERO a cozy place. Sounds and music are all placeholders for now! #gamedev #indiegame #axz #lowpoly #madewithunity

Astrid Anne Rose revised and expanded a previously published article on James' abject visions in the original Silent Hill 2. Read it here: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2024/10/10/n...

We have a new issue starting up today whose articles will move from the original Silent Hill 2 to its remake. First up is @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social on the nature of that remake in light of the source material's reputation. bulletpointsmonthly.com/2024/10/10/a...

Painting the sharks

childhood memories 🧵🍪

This talk is a good watch. I think the most interesting tidbit is this idea of having design pillars for an engine, great advice youtu.be/4sc3cm9Kdys?...

Going to try to log all my movies and games for the next while/as long as it's fun. Busy weekend to catch up on - I love da movies! Watched Happy Death Day 2U letterboxd.com/neilisainmdo... Watched Tremors letterboxd.com/neilisainmdo...

Got the W on my first try against the new Hades II boss, but just 😬
