Today, like every day, is a good day to remind you that Jeff LaRe cares so little about his job that he still has the wrong district on his official web site. Fairfield County deserves someone who actually takes the job seriously.

I'm honestly kind of impressed at how wholly and completely vapid the Mario Galaxy movie is. It's a fantastic soundtrack with fun animation and one of the most empty, meaningless stories I've seen from a kids movie in a long time.

Alma's a good friend, and does good work advocating for trans rights in her country. Worth supporting if you can!

The fun thing about being polyamorous is when you land at an airport and have to text like five people to let them know you got there safe.

I'm not the kind of person who hates everything Final Fantasy has put out since X or anything, but I do hope the success of games like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Clair Obscur encourages the series to try turn-based combat again. I do kinda miss it.

I'm still in the process of the final fight of FFVII Rebirth (finally), but I fucking hate this. I'm flabbergasted just how wildly they've missed the mark here. I expected them to pull some nonsense, but I didn't expect them to dramatically botch the most important moment of the whole damn story.

Well that's... sorta devastating. A lot of the best gaming content was made there, from insightful articles to hilarious videos. I hate how games media is being dismantled like this. Heartfelt thanks and sorrow to the people affected. Y'all deserved better. ❤️

I'm telling you all to go see The Legend of Ochi. It was delightful. Felt out of time, like an old VHS I'd have found lying around. Really magical experience, I loved it.

I didn't think I'd be the type to like Blue Prince, but damn if I'm not 20 hours and 60 pages of notes in and having an absolute blast. I thought the note-taking would be tedious & obtuse, but the feeling of finally realizing the key to a bunch of random things you've been noting is second to none.

FINALLY finished Final Fantasy XVI, and... Man. I like a lot about this game. I like a lot about what it's trying to do. I just wish it came together better in the end. Won't go into spoilers, but the whole ending fell pretty flat for me. Didn't feel like it had a solid grasp on what it was about.

Whenever I'm playing Final Fantasy XIV with my spouse, and I come across a character whose name could be misconstrued and forced into a silly sentence, I do it. It gets me a groan (and occasionally a laugh).

I made a visual novel for NaNoRenO 2025! It's a sci-fi romance (with polyamory as an option) about fleeing a fascist star system with three other fugitives. There are still scenes and systems I'd like to add, but it's playable beginning to end! crawlabeegames.itch.io/fugitiveflight

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”. I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.

I love all of SuperGiant's games and Pyre being their least popular is criminal because it is by and large the most unique (and easily my favorite). It's a lot of reading but it is so worth it, with a lot of cool, very impactful choices and a ""combat"" system of ritualistic basketball it is so cool

You're telling me we finally get a Madoka Magica game, and instead of a choice-based narrative-centric adventure game or RPG where you are constantly tempted by Kyubey's offers of power it's a FUCKING GACHA GAME

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

The first trailer for Wanderstop immediately made it one of my most anticipated games of the year, but even the simple list of co-creators should be more than enough to earn your attention. I'm PSYCHED for this.
A portion of the description of upcoming indie game Wanderstop, which reads, "Wanderstop is a game from the team at Ivy Road, including Davey Wreden (creator of The Stanley Parable and The Beginner’s Guide), Karla Zimonja (co-creator of Gone Home and Tacoma) and Daniel “C418” Rosenfeld (the music of Minecraft)."

I work with grade schoolers, but regularly give lunch breaks to younger classes during naptime. Under no circumstances would I like to actually teach one of these classrooms, but the desire for the power to pick the naptime music so I can play the Dark Souls 2 Majula music on repeat is STRONG.

The Rifftrax riffing of The Room had a bit where Mark said something like, "I hate girls and their games," and one of the riffers was like "Mark's a Gamergater!!" I was the only one who laughed. I still think about that.

This is incredible. I lost my backlog of Game Informer magazines to garage leakage during a storm a few years back, and I'm so happy to see these things will be preserved. I'll have to look through some old stuff when I analyze older games to see what was being said about them back then!

Can't agree with this take: anime films being under-represented at the Oscars is far more based on the Academy's disdain for animation than any bar-setting by major anime directors. They barely give respect to animation at all; of course they don't honor foreign animation easily.
