Fully get it. I think people should absolutely update articles/whatever with "ah, dang, turns out this is [whatever]" if you find evidence, but I just don't think falling for a magic trick is a moral failing

Anyone trying to hold other people to a moral standard over sharing "cool thing I saw online" is creating an impossible bar and one they'll just trip over themselves eventually

Not sure how much you can beat yourself up about this, it's going to be a huge problem going forward and increasingly impossible to know what's been vibe coded

Control Resonant may have completely turned a corner for me—mechanically, narratively—at the Underpass.

You do not have to know much of anything about Dark Matter beyond its basic premise to enjoy this sublime episode of TV.

Really been enjoying these 20 minute-ish dispatches that we've been doing to document our weekly emotional sports rollercoaster.

Lost my dad many years back, just prior to getting married. Time heals, yes, but know that it's okay to wallow in the grief, that to feel jealousy of others with loved ones still alive is normal, and that you should remind others to ask how you're doing in the months ahead.

I loved the new Yoshi game. But then I watched my kiddos play & was delighted to find out 1) I was playing it wrong and 2) they really want sentient flowers to be happy. Thanks @patrickklepek.bsky.social for letting me hang w/ the @crossplayblog.bsky.social crowd www.crossplay.news/p/yoshi-and-...

Yoshi and the Mysterious Playstyles of Children

My sons are playing Nintendo’s latest Yoshi game much different than I am, and likely closer to how it was intended to be played.

In advance of this week's Remap Radio, I was thankfully able to give Control Resonant a spin with its recent damage boost patch. I still have structural concerns about the game, but it felt *so much* better immediately podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/remap…

Very kind words and thoughtful analysis! Also, we will talk about this on the podcast this week, I cannot recommend the advice more highly to bump the player’s damage output a smidge in the options. 150 was a little too much—130 felt just right. Entirely different game feel.

Fully agree. Those people aren’t being good parents

Patrick Klepek @patrickklepek.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

With Google specifically, kids are opted out of the parental controls when they become a teenager. It becomes opt-in by the child at that point.

Patrick Klepek @patrickklepek.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I don't think I'd be watching my 13-year-old's watch history; she's a teenager! My kids are 10 and 6 now -- I think the age difference there is important.

Normal Golf Game, the most unconventional take on hitting a golf ball since Wii Sports, is a beautifully weird triumph and a GOTY candidate. It was a pleasure talking to its designer about making such a chaotic experiment remapradio.com/articles/the-most-no…

Credit where credit is due: Roblox has added a meaningful new parental safety feature to Roblox. Each week, Roblox now sends a summary of what your kids have been playing. More platforms (like YouTube!) should do this and they do not www.crossplay.news/p/new-roblox-par…

Normal Golf Game doesn't have good art because its designer isn't an artist and wanted the game to reflect his own strengths and weaknesses

Waiting to board an airplane while your quarterback tears his achilles might actually be worse than having experienced the Double Doink in person.
