Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

What Do We Do With Jacob Geller? - Epilogue Gaming

Earlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

I think one of my central disappointments with Twitch's platform has been the loss of its sense of humanness and community. Their callous use of AI imagery not only damages the brand and everyone associated with it, it also is work that could have easily been done by real people who care. Hollow.

Self-care looks like posting my Connections and Mini Crossword when I get good scores and burying them deep in the vaults of the internet on days I don't.

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Their explanation totally misses the mark - highlights and VODs are not about "discovery," they are about the historical preservation of actual work people put into their channel and content.

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Twitch is making a change to its VOD storage system on April 19th. For those of us who have been on the platform for a long time, this really sucks - Twitch has slowly been chipping away at streamers' ability to maintain their channel history.

I've been hosting a hall-of-fame induction show for Epilogue Gaming and so far we have: Returnal Dark Souls Nier Automata Fran Bow* Resident Evil 2: Remake* Fatal Frame II* Outer Wilds Zelda: Ocarina of Time Journey Disco Elysium Bloodborne Yakuza 0 Feels like a pretty solid start 5 episodes in.

while, perhaps ever, I realized it has served its purpose for me. My view of the world at large is often pessimistic, but I did want to share this little observation. If you're struggling to be kind to yourself, try being kind to others first.

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

is a little kinder. A little lighter. Through slow change, I've noticed much of my 2024 felt like that. The more often I was kind, the more often people were kind to me, and in return, I was kinder to myself. When the award show wrapped, and it's the last one I will host for a long...

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

And as someone who is not always nice to themselves, the best change I've made is focusing on being kind to others. It's often returned in my direction, and then guess who I am kinder to after that? Me. So anyway. Every year after the show I notice this little thing in my life where everything...

150

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Or, at least, make an effort to change. Changing is hard, obviously. Anyway, these award shows have been emblematic of something I've noticed anecdotally: when you are kind to people, they are kinder to you, they are kinder to others, they are kinder to themselves.

160

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

But I do think kindness is both a) beneficial and b) often contagious. I've noticed at various points in my career, whether in academia or as a content creator, I've felt envy. Sometimes that envy would press itself in unhealthy ways. I didn't like that about myself and decided to change.

150

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

I think there is a misconception that kindness is an alturistic characteristic or that it must somehow be altruistic in nature. It almost has a bad wrap, maybe for valid reasons (the "nice guy" is obviously not fun to be around).

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

On Sunday I got to host a community award show. I've been doing it for about eight years now once a year. I don't want to talk about growth or engagement but what I do want to talk about is kindness, both how it has personally impacted me and what I've noticed about it impacting others. Thread:

I do think it's worth noting, for anyone who might not know, that the intentional clunky movement and presentation is kinda part of the fun of Barbuta. Which feels pretentious to say out loud, but knowing the central motivations of UFO 50, it does feel kinda fun.

I thought it would be fun to do a mini review thread for the 50 games in #UFO50 I'll probably just add a game or two a day, but thought it'd be fun! And I'll try to keep the reviews short, like the games.

The Switch version of this game is a nightmare, reminds me of when I first played it on 360.

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

There’s probably a discussion to be had about Elder Scrolls pushing game design into a worse place, but I don’t think it ever did so maliciously. I love a small and dense universe more than anything, but Skyrim FELT like anything was possible. It delivered a real sense of wonder.

bvollmer @bengerman.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Was thinking today about the first time I booted up Skyrim and what a magical feeling it was the first time you’re out in the open and looking up at the sky and realizing you can go anywhere.
