As soon as I see AI generated pictures on a menu, I immediately bounce and will not order from that restaurant, so I certainly hope it's not something the delivery apps are doing without consent.

I am a huge fan of evoking actual horror in players, like "wait... that innocuous thing from 6 months ago is...? Oh. Oh god, no!" I also like body horror when it feels absurd enough to be kind of funny and terrifying at the same time. Not a fan of just gore or tension for its own sake.

It really felt like the movie was a message directed at me, in particular. It's hard to ignore that.

I was told "It's basically Aliens" when we went to see Event Horizon in the theater in 1997. I was also coincidentally on an astro kick and had notebooks filled with thoughts on black holes and alternative propulsion. I went home and burned my notebooks, and went back to crystal physics.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Just me, looking through my Steam collection of all the games I have over 100 (or 1000, or even a couple at 10k) hours in, going "Oh... Oh no..." Uh, maybe Final Fantasy 6, way back when? Or System Shock 2?

I will say, though, it was really smart to release a Castlevania demo. I'd be more annoyed if I paid full price and refunded it, than finding out early that it's just not for me.

Actually, I might just go replay Bloodstained again... The randomization mode is really fun.

I just tried the new #Castlevania demo, and I am really disappointed to say it's a pass from me. I wanted a proper Castlevania game, but I got a souls-like with hit sponges and sloppy dodge mechanics. Fuck that noise. I'll wait for the next Bloodstained game... Iga knows what we really want.

For those playing along with the home version of our game, I'm using 50/50 potting soil and coconut coir, and watering from a bottom dish, because starter cups are basically a wick.

I may (or may not) look like I'm keeping it together well, but underneath I feel like a Jenga tower and all the players suffer from essential tremors. Years of living in the US have made all interactions with immigration massively anxiety inducing. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I'm a wreck.

Gamemaster Personality Quiz at Gunpoint
I have an instinctive revulsion for personality quizzes. I know it's not serious. There is no way a quiz stuffed in the spare pages of a teenage magazine ...

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

We genuinely wrote a game where the message is “mutual support is the only way we can save the world” and we expressed that through bonus manoeuvres granted out-of-turn by other players

Oooh, that would be a good regulator, though... If you can't bring it on a fatbike, don't expect me to pick it up on my own bike. Then I wouldn't be riding around with a 3D printer held on with bungie cords...

DPD is so bad. I've had them decide not to walk through the door after being buzzed in, then take my package somewhere inconvenient while I'm yelling at them to come back. Especially fun when it's a large, heavy, expensive, and fragile box I now need to strap to my bike. But I'm not bitter...
