It’s kind of odd but I like to compare Deus Ex to the Buster Keaton films. Dangerous and ridiculous and absurd and it worked because nobody knew not to do it yet. And now it seems impossible. 🫡

one of my favorite pieces of game writing ever is a one paragraph translated Chinese review of Disco Elysium on amazon dot com. maybe I can be a good person for a while.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

After playing @cloakanddaggerg.bsky.social ‘s The Excavation of Hobs Barrow I found myself in the UK for a wedding so we had to check out the local barrow. I can confirm there were no hobs spotted.

Michael is a friend and I’ve witnessed this all play out firsthand. I will only say to never give a moment of your time or a cent of your money to engaging with miHoYo slop. Despicable behavior that should lead to resignations

In the 90s what they called “payola” was deemed one of the worst crimes an artist could commit. To be caught paying for coverage would condemn you as a sellout for life. In 2026 it’s called “marketing” and you are chided and called Unserious if you refuse to do it. 😊

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Recently played: CAIRN, my second French rock climbing game in the past six months. Surprisingly elegant controls, great characters, a compelling and understated narrative. I really enjoyed it overall, but I'll admit to finding the psychedelic ending a bit trite. Not my thing I guess 😜

Only in movies do old people die surrounded by their families.

In December 2025 the contents of the PS2 game 'Yu-Gi-Oh: The Duelists of the Roses' were dumped to the Modeler's Resource by user Batzpup. I've never heard of this game before today but apparently it is just hundreds upon hundreds of stone-cold low-poly masterpieces.

Disco Elysium Quotes @discoelysiumbot.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

SHIVERS - A grey rain falls on Martinaise. The city soaks in it, cold and dripping. Waves hit the concrete breakers. The homeless huddle by the fires behind the fences. There, among the shacks, is your home. Stay. Have a drink. Forever.

Recently played: THE EXCAVATION OF HOB'S BARROW by @shaunaitcheson.bsky.social. The pacing, the tension! Once the story builds it is searingly compelling, like you're being dragged along on a rope unable to look away. Masterpiece.

If you’re an unreal developer you need to just pay the $10 for Blueprint Assist. Trust me on this.

Recently played: Jusant by @edouardcaplain.bsky.social and team. A pensive, elegant, beautiful game filled with cozy cliffside houses and creaking windmills. Some of my favorite environment design in recent memory.
