Interesting video from Jacob that is right up my alley. I'm yet to play Pathogenic, a type of game I've wanted to play for a long while. But I feel like it is making the same mistake as all similar games about pathogens: They don't want to kill their host. Their own survival depends on the host.

Just had a eureka idea moment: Gen X Soft Book Club. We commute into the city, meet and listen to 90s/00s trip-hop and downtempo electronica while discussing books about social alienation and modern anxiety.

Listening to Alligator by The National is always a reminder that it has at least a dozen of the best lines ever written into a song. And almost half of them come from City Middle. "I think I'm like Tennessee Williams, I wait for the click; I wait, but it doesn't kick in." god damn

My dearly beloved @chaostheorygames.bsky.social is nominated for GOTY at the AGDAs, while my mistress @abandonedsheep.com is up for 3 different awards. Thankfully there is no crossover in catergories, so I can continue with my cladestine affair. Congrats to my two lovers, I'm so proud of them. 😍

I just finished reading Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino. It's a book that's going to stay with me for a long time. Every other page seems to contain a different truth about life that I can't quite grasp and will spend the rest of my life attempting to understand.

I've seen people saying that the latest episode of Game Changer was mean spirited, and that they felt sorry for the contestants. But if I'm completely honest, that final task they showed is my actual idea of a perfect night out.

Two years ago, Magdalena Bay released Imaginal Disk. I thought it was fantastic, but was skeptical of everybody immediately calling it one of the greatest pop albums ever. Every listen since my first, the album has only gotten better. This is my formal apology to all the glazers: you were right.

Pretty disheartening to see a very well-respected person who has built up goodwill over two decades have it all taken away in an instant because they opened up about their addiction and wanted to be held accountable for it. (This is about Hank Green and LLMs.)

"the graphics have caught up with our imagination" is intended as a compliment but is inadvertently damning of the whole project. Yeah, the imagination of Halo no longer exceeds a high-resolution tree. Cool.
The original Halo presented an alluring and mysterious setting that combined alien ruins with Pacific Northwest-inspired natural grandeur, but the level of detail back then simply hadn't yet caught up with the imagination. That's resolved here, with a gorgeous visual update that makes the whole campaign pop with excitement.

I read Piranesi 4 years ago and have thought about it probably every week since. I've just now finished listening to the audiobook and might have enjoyed it even more the second time through. I think I have a new favourite book ever. The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.

I do a lot of rough play with my 22 month old. The other day I was spinning him around my body and calling him my nunchaku. Aside from some inevitable little bumps, no issues. Last night I gently laid him down in his cot and dislocated his elbow. Kids' bodies are so weird.

We keep on gutting games media, and the result is mess like this. "Final Fantasy VI officially returns", based on one cosmetic that comes with the deluxe version of Final Fantasy Resonance. Constantly calls it Final Fantasy VII Resonance when it isn't a VII game, and confuses it with Revelation.

I am surprided to get an update on Fumito Ueda's new game, and even more surprised that it is a shooter. But I am the most surprised that they would let him name it something that so easily misreads as GENITALS.

The first 3 words Cloud says in the FF7 Revelation reveal trailer are "Long story short...", which is quite possibly the funniest 3 words you could choose to introduce the third game telling a story that was originally one game long. youtu.be/PH3ox5krci8?...

In 2010, Yoshinori Kitase was asked about remaking Final Fantasy VII. He estimated that such a project would take Square Enix between 10.5–14 years to create. SE started full development on FF7 Remake in 2015. The series will finally be complete in 2027, 12 years later. Turns out Kitase nailed it.
YK (Yoshinori Kitase): "IF it were possible that we had all the right facilities and the right environment to be able to make and prepare a Final Fantasy VII remake within a year, we’d very much like a go at it! But even Final Fantasy XIII has taken over three and a half years to create. If we were to recreate final Fantasy VII with the same level of graphical detail as you see in Final Fantasy XIII, we’d imagine that that would take as much as three or four times longer than the three and a half years it has taken to put this Final Fantasy together! So it’s looking pretty unrealistic! But if any such situation came about by any remote chance, then yes, we’d do it!"

I logged into Twitter and turns out I am getting dragged by a Sweetbox fan account for a terrible opinion I posted SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO
My post from November 28, 2009: "I wish Jade Villalon would stop making such girly music. I love Sweetbox, but having that AND Eternity∞ AND Saint Vox is too much oestrogen."

Reply from Sweetbox Brasil on June 2, 2026: "but she's a girl", with a GIF of someone trying to put a square peg in a circle hole.

Reply from me, today: "This was a post from 17 years ago! I was 19 years old at the time! I regret it now. PLEASE MAKE GIRLYPOP MUSIC!!!"

It is honestly baffling to see good game critics repeat talking points like "Nobody had this taste in music before the internet", when the game is literally named after one of the primary ways people developed their music taste before the internet.
Excerpt from an article on Aftermath, titled "I Don't Know Who Mixtape is For". The following line is highlighted: "Nobody in the 1990s would have had a music collection like that of main character Stacey, because she has the music collection of someone who could only have been made this insufferable with the help of the internet."
