At the nursery buying plants and one of the staff asked me if I was another staff member’s dad here to pick him up. I don’t think I’ll recover from this.

Probably surprising no one: Turns out twins can unlock each others’ phones with Face ID. Yes ok they look alike but they’re not even identical twins. And yet, instant unlock. But MY phone freaks out if I’m lying down. I feel like there’s a low key insult in that.

Haha I bet! I’m impressed you remembered to reply!? Congratulations on the new addition to the family!

Plant shopping adventure and potentially misjudging the size of our car.

Whoever had the idea to take the Predator franchise down the Buddy Comedy route frankly deserves a raise. That was much better than anyone could convince me it would be.

Instagram is like HEY DO YOU LIKE MUSCLES? LOOK MUSCLES! HEY YOU, THERE’S MUSCLES! HEY! HEY YOU WANT SOME MORE MUSCLES?! Ok, yes, I do actually. But I hate that they know that.

If you wanna undo the last 40+ hours of anticipation for the sake of being (what I guess you assume is) clever, go ahead. But don’t make me COMPLICIT in it. It doesn’t feel clever. It feels like being catfished.

My absolute blood-boiling, forever-seething pet hate in games is multiple subversive endings that I’m forced to choose from.

Well that’s just straight up Renaissance 🤌

If you’re not watching Pluribus, do yourself a favor and watch Pluribus. This is gonna be like Severence where everything is spoiled 5 minutes after it airs. Trust me, you want to ride along with it. 🔥

5 years ago I decided to teach myself C++ so I could attempt making my own game. After 5 long years of late nights and weekends, I’m proud to finally announce, I have a working pause screen.

Update: A bee just flew into the car. So much for “it’s more scared of you” mister Julian.

“It’s more scared of you than you are of it.” Ok Julian but I haven’t seen a spider break out in a cold sweat and slap itself in the face and vomit because a person touched it.

Little Nightmares 3 co-op for Halloween month is pretty perfect tbh.

💯 It’s insane that in one generation we went from baked lighting and a couple of runtime spotlights (if you’re lucky) to real time GI with essentially unlimited shadow casting light sources. But if I ever have to babysit a bake until 4am again I will step into traffic.

The TV series wasn’t the worst thing ever created either.

it's honestly very funny that dogs are just SO friendly and sociable they're just allowed to smell like that

Silksong has made me realise I’m now, sadly, too old for some games.

I’m surprised YouTube will play an uninterrupted 30 seconds of ads without putting ads in it.

The last true masterpiece in the genre before Hollow Knight was arguably Ori, and it’s those inspirations that give us games like Hollow Knight. I think ultimately, while there are failures, inspiration fuels magic.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

I’m not sure that’s a bad thing? Team Cherry captured lightning in a bottle, and that’s not something you can manufacture, but that doesn’t invalidate the existence of good games that don’t reach that pinnacle. People are inspired by all kinds of things. A masterpiece is a good place to start.

Tbf metroidvanias are on a pretty consistent release schedule. It’s my fav genre and I think there’s been at least one solid title every year-ish for a while. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was fantastically good, but unfortunately undersold.

Still refreshing steam / PSN to see which is the first to unfuck their system so we can buy it 💀

Isometric action puzzle games will always have an audience, and it’s a starved genre. This looks incredible, can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Ditto! I replay it every couple of years. But I rarely meet people who know it exists :(

This is 🔥🔥🔥 Memories of LandStalker, the most underrated game of the 16bit era.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

I’m kidding, he’s the best thing that’s ever existed. The biohazard part is true tho. Sweet baby cheeses.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

I think this qualifies as a biohazard.

If someone had warned me about frenchie farts I think I would have reconsidered.

Subscription fee for 3 years and then that will be ad supported too. Everything is shit.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Just noticed that at least every second post on Instagram is an ad now. Sometimes two in a row.

Shadow of the Beast (Amiga) Something about the music and that Psygnosis / Roger Dean aesthetic made my skin crawl.

Aliens: Wipe out 2/3rds of humanity and farm the remaining third as livestock. Me in the pens, whose only coping mechanism is inappropriate humour: “This is still better than the ‘Invasion’ AppleTV series.”

His green eyes are the cutest! Especially when he’s side eyeing us to see if we notice he’s being naughty haha

Moe has learned a new trick: Torpedoing from across the house, into the bedroom, onto the bed, and crashing full speed into my face while I’m asleep. For a little guy, he can move.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

lol I have refused to watch every one since I saw the first.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

When we went to see IT friends came just to watch me apparently. I do not do well in horror movies 💀 Next time I’m in LA we should go have a nervous breakdown together 🍿

“50 is the new 30,” I say, as I gag down my heartburn medication and climb into bed at 8:45pm. “I feel as young as ever!” Realising I forgot to schedule my colonoscopy, I laugh. “Hahaha, so forgetful. Hey babe, what month is it?”

First time in Santa Cruz and I gotta say this is quintessential California. PNW meets the beach.

Was having a sad today. Nothing specific, just The General Malaise. Then I saw this and my brain squirted out a solid dose of dopamine and now I have nostalgia sad, which is the nice kind.

When we’re in the water wars it’s gonna be really weird telling kids we had giant bowls of water that magically filled themselves and we pooped in them.
