Creepshow 2's Hitchhiker. I was 7 and staying with my grandmother when my mom was recovering from brain surgery. I was sleeping in the living room every night, watching shit I shouldn't have. Had extremely realistic dreams of that man chasing me around her haunted ass house at the top of that hill

A realis mood is the grammatical form indicating truth: The fire is dying. An irrealis mood would instead indicate any other possibility. The fire might not die. The fire must not die. Let not the fire die. Pyrrealis, then, is what flint speaks to tinder. emilyzhu.itch.io/pyrrealis

I don't know how I missed this 't-girl sims' project by Oleander Garden and Blood Machine's label Asphodel Softworks, but this is probably my favorite part of the steam page, a clear statement against endless expansions and dead games / live services:

A game with ten expansions is invariably very muddled. It is better to have ten games, each speaking in their own voice, in an open, cross-compatible mod ecosystem. Noematica is not (will never be) a platform. We want to be equal partners with a community of DIY content creators, hackers and modders and so on. You're all awfully talented, and we hope you're willing to join us — at the end of the world, where flickering stars illuminate NOEMATICA.

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

Games media is not only unhealthy because there aren't jobs. For years, games media (journalism in general, really) has run on a deeply unhealthy system that incentivized the worst kind of writing and devalued the labor of writers and other creators.
