Nintendo doesn’t know this but if it dropped Ruby and Sapphire on switch this month that would be a huge mental health boon for me specifically.

New feature! Decided to interrogate my strong negative reaction to the Ocarina of Time remake by reflecting on Zelda’s art direction history, AI-driven fear, and of course the passage of time. Always fun when you find the capacity to be wrong!

Given the environment they’re coming up in I don’t imagine there’s much you can do until you hit something like this break point, at which time I think the most we can do is a sympathic “yup” and help them move into healthier mindsets in the future.

Oh absolutely, and part of what I was untangling I think was what an immediate rejection on my part to Nintendo leaning, let’s say contemporary fidelity, was driven by.

Hello, real human who wrote that he was revolted. I get into it in the piece but I think there’s a lot happening right now that can inform a very strong negative reaction and part of why I’m writing about it is to call myself wrong.

Rehabilitive justice is a complicated concept that we’re broadly not currently equiped to handle but more specifically here— the ways this situation intersects with a public persona used for profit and collaboration with women, without disclosure, makes it far, far harder to apply.

penguin colony is an adaption of 'at the mountains of madness' that doesn't shy away from the racism at the heart of lovecraft's work. i had such a generous chat with developer tali faulkner about the game's intentionality and direction. @origamedigital.bsky.social @fellowtraveller.games

There’s so much material harm surrounding Gears of War E-Day that I just can’t imagine writing about it and not having those conditions inform the work. Developers fearing for their jobs in the same splash page as a glowing review. I don’t know how that doesn’t make you feel insane as a critic.

The intensity of my emotional response to this image only getting worse is indeed not a great sign of the times.

Four panel Simpsons comic. Homer coming into Bart’s room to wake him up saying “Bart I don’t want to alarm you but the old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters” and then Bart screams

Anyway, just about every video game with numbers attached to it that is not a straight RPG would be better if you removed the numbers and you'll never change my mind

I can only imagine; it’s insane to say but I kind of find the slasher element not quite secondary to its thesis on distanced intellectualising sex/bodies but it feels less concerned with Genre Exercise than Human-Cum-Art Exercise. Cis pov here of course!
