Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Okay yeah I'm just upset about life in general so I'm going to scream. Devo. Mixtape starts with Devo. One of the most anti nostalgia, anti corporate, anti-conformist, 'wake up and do something' bands ever. How can you hear that and think "Yes, this game is just about things the creator likes." 000
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Now that I am dual class developer/academic maybe I should start a video series about game analysis. 000
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Re: Nostalgia for a place you've never been. I saw people claim that Mixtape "expected you to love the PNW" while Stranger Things "Invited you in." And look. As someone from Indiana, Stranger Things got a LOT of stuff wrong, sometimes to a really annoying degree. Unclear why one gets a pass. 030
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Mixtape. Loved it. Disagree with a lot of the haters. Including the claim "No American would know about Silverchair." As a teen from the 90s - if you watched MTV, you knew about Silverchair. I had no idea they were Australian. 231
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sometimes I can't tell if I'm dumb or just have strong opinions. Maybe it's both. There's an IGF game where a bunch of people were pushing it as truly special so I played through it. I hated it. Like REALLY hated it. I try to be "Oh I see what artist was going for." And I kind of do, but ARGH 200
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I've been banging a drum really hard about being anti AI. It literally makes people stupider. And yet I'm seeing talk about how coding tasks now take 1/10th the time (for experienced people anyway) but also they hate their jobs now. But ARE students going to be in a world that requires it? 141
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh hey. I could play Control Resonate on PC at launch??? What is this. 000

Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I was never that into Ocarina of Time because I did NOT like early 3D. My beloved pixel art became flat shaded polygons. Yuck. So this new OOT has me feeling conflicted. Weird, but also, maybe I want to play it? Love the floppy hat. 010

Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. … 3388142

Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I'm now about half way through Blippo+ and I'm kind of mad it didn't win ANY IGFs. It's like weaponized nostalgia for me. 130

Reposted by Nathan MishlerJake Birkett - Veteran Indie @greyalien.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Those of you who know me will know that this launch is a BIG DEAL for me/us because I've been indie for 21 years and never had a hit game but have managed to survive. However, this is our best shot at a hit game so far and we hope that it goes well. 201717

Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Okay I feel like I need to start talking on some sort of social media more. Maybe I'll talk about teaching. 010
Nathan Mishler @nathan-cypher.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Someone on another site was like “Old classes are obsolete I just had an AI spit out website code that would take 10 weeks to teach!” 1) Okay but those students wouldn’t understand it? 2) Is your teaching so bad THAT would take 10 weeks??? 010
